Question 2.

Answer the following questions.

(A) State and explain Avogadro's law.

Answer :

Avogadro’s law : It states that equal volumes of different gases under identical conditions of pressure and temperature contain equal number of molecules.

Explanation: Consider the reaction between gaseous hydrogen and oxygen forming water vapour.

2H2(g)      +   O2(g)    à  2H2O(g)

100 mL               50 mL             100 mL

2 volumes       1 volume         2 volumes

Since volume V of a gas is directly proportional to number of gas molecule (Vµn),

2 n molecules : n molecule : 2 n molecules OR

2 molecules : 1 molecule : 2 molecules

Thus 2 molecules of hydrogen combine with 1 molecule of oxygen to give 2 molecules of water vapour.

(B) Point out the difference between 12 g of carbon and 12 u of carbon.

Answer :

12 g of carbon represents one mole of carbon containing 6.022  x 1023 atoms of carbon. 12 u of carbon represents one carbon atom.

(C) How many grams does an atom of hydrogen weigh ?

Answer :

(D) Calculate the molecular mass of the following in u.

(a) NH3 (b) CH3COOH (c) C2H5OH

Answer :

(a) NH3 = 14u + 3 x 1u = 17u.

(b) CH3COOH = 2 x 12u + 4 x 1u + 2 x 16u = 60u.

(c) C2H5OH = 2 x 12u + 6 x 1u + 16u = 46u

(E) How many particles are present in 1 mole of a substance ?

Answer :

One mole of a substance contains 6.022 x 1023 particles.

(F) What is the SI unit of amount of a substance ?

Answer :

(G) What is meant by molar volume of a gas ?

Answer :

Molar volume of a gas : The volume of one mole of a gas is called molar volume. At STP condition (0°C and 1 atm), the molar volume of any gas is 22.4 dm3.

 (H) State and explain the law of conservation of mass.

Answer :

Law of conservation of mass : This law states that during chemical combination of matter, the mass is neither created nor destroyed.

Explanation : Antoine Lavoisier a French scientist while studying several combustion reactions, determined accurately the masses of the reactants before reactions and the masses of the products after the completion of the reactions. He observed that the total masses of the reactants before the reaction is equal to the total masses of the products.

For example

1) When hydrogen gas burns and combines with oxygen to yield water, the mass of the water formed is equal to the mass of the hydrogen and oxygen consumed.

Hydrogen + Oxygen —> Water

   2 g               16 g              18 g

2) When solid carbon burns and combines with oxygen to form carbon dioxide, The total mass of carbon (12 g) and oxygen taken initially (32 g) is equal to the mass of Carbon dioxide (44 g) formed.

C   + O —> CO2

(s)        (g)            (g)

(12g)   (32g)  —> (44g)

Applications :

  • From the masses of the reactants taken, the masses of products that would be obtained in a chemical reaction can be predicted.
  • Amounts of the reactants can be decided from the required amounts of the products.

(I) State the law of multiple proportions.

Answer :

The law of multiple proportions : This law states that when two elements chemically combine to form two or more compounds with different compositions by weights, then the masses of one element that combine with a fixed mass of the other element are in the ratio of small whole numbers.

Explanation : Hydrogen combines with oxygen to form two compounds, namely water (H2O) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2).

Hydrogen + Oxygen ——> Water

     2 g               16 g                  18 g

Hydrogen + Oxygen -—> Hydrogen Peroxide

     2 g                32 g                 34 g

It is found that the two masses of oxygen namely 16 g and 32 g which combine with a fixed mass of hydrogen (2 g) are in the ratio of small hole numbers, i.e. 16 : 32 or 1 : 2

(L) 2.0 g of a metal burnt in oxygen gave 3.2 g of its oxide. 1.42 g of the same metal heated in steam gave 2.27 of its oxide. Which law is verified by these data ?

Answer :

Mass of oxygen in metal oxide = 3.2 − 2 = 1.2 g

Mass of oxygen in second case = 2.27 − 1.42 = 0.85 g

Molar mass of SO2 = 64 g mol1

 ∴ Mass of SO2 produced = 0.5 x 64 = 32 g

Answer is- Mass of SO2 produced = 32 g.

Question 5.

Explain

(A) The need of the term average atomic mass.

Answer :

Average atomic mass : An element may have different isotopes i.e., atoms having same number of electrons and protons but different number of neutrons.

The isotopes have different atomic masses and they exist in different proportion or abundance.

The atomic mass of an element is the weighted average of atomic masses of its isotopes. This is called average atomic mass,

Isotopes with relative abundances and atomic masses as shown against each of them.

From the above data, the average atomic mass of carbon

= (12 u) (98.892/100) + (13.00335 u) (1.108/100) + (14.00317) (2 × 10-10/100)

= 12.011 u

Similarly, average atomic masses for other elements can be calculated.

(B) Molar mass.

Answer :

Molar Mass :The mass of one mole of a substance (element / compound) in grams is called its molar mass. The molar mass of any element in grams is numerically equal to atomic mass of that element in u.

Similarly molar mass of any substance, existing as polyatomic molecule, in grams is numerically equal to its molecular mass or formula mass in u.

(C) Mole concept.

Answer :

Mole : One mole of a substance is defined as the amount of a substance that contains the number of particles like atoms, molecules, ions or electrons equal to the number of carbon atoms present in 0.012 kg of Carbon-12 i.e., 6.0221367 x 1023 particles.

One mole of a substance contains 6.022 x 1023 molecules while one mole (or one gram atom) of an element contains 6.0221367 x 1023 atoms.

(D) Formula mass with an example.

Answer :

Formula mass : It is the sum of atomic masses of the atoms present in the formula of the substance.

Explanation : Consider the formula mass of NaNO3.

Formula mass of NaNO3

= average atomic mass of Na + average atomic mass of N + 3 x average atomic mass of O

=23 u + 14 u + 3 x 16u = 85u

(E) Molar volume of gas.

Answer :

Molar volume of a gas : The volume of one mole of a gas is called molar volume. At STP condition (0°C and 1 atm), the molar volume of any gas is 22.4 dm3.

Volume of one mole of a gas at STP :

One mole of any gas occupies a volume of 22.4 dm3 at standard temperature and pressure condition.

Number of moles of a gas (n) = \(\frac{\text{Volume of the gas at STP}}{\text{Molar volume of gas}}\)

= \(\frac{\text{Volume of the gas at STP}}{22.4}\)

∴ Number of molecules = number of moles x NA

= number of moles x 6.022 x 1023 mol-1

(F) Types of matter (on the basis of chemical composition).

Answer :

A matter may be an element, like Cu, Ag, etc. or may be a compound like NaCl, H2O, etc.
