  • 14 g of N2

     

  • 18 g of H2O

     

  • 16 g of CO

     

  • 28 g of N2

     

(1)

Amount Number of molecules
1.0 g of H2 NA2=3.01×1023
14 g of N2 NA2=3.01×1023
18 g of H2O NA=6.022×1023
16 g of CO 4NA7=3.44×1023

Q 3 :    

The highest number of helium atoms is in                 [2024]

  • 4 mol of helium

     

  • 4 u of helium

     

  • 4 g of helium

     

  • 2.271098 L of helium at STP

     

(1)

4 mol of helium =4×NA atoms

4 u of helium = 1 atom

4 g of helium = 1 mol = NA atoms

2.271098 L of helium =2.27109822.7mol = 0.1 mol = 0.1 NA atoms



Q 4 :    

Which one of the followings has maximum number of atoms?              [2020]

  • 1 g of Ag(s) [Atomic mass of Ag = 108]

     

  • 1 g of Mg(s) [Atomic mass of Mg = 24]

     

  • 1 g of O2(g) [Atomic mass of O = 16]

     

  • 1 g of Li(s) [Atomic mass of Li = 7]

     

(4)

1 mole of substance =NA atoms

108 g of Ag =NA atoms  1 g of Ag =NA108 atoms

24 g of Mg =NA atoms  1 g of Mg =NA24 atoms

32 g of O2=NA molecules =2NA atoms

 1 g of O2=NA16 atoms

7 g of Li =NA atoms  1 g of Li =NA7 atoms

Therefore, 1 g of Li(s), has maximum number of atoms.



Q 5 :    

In which case is number of molecules of water maximum?              [2018]

  • 18 mL of water

     

  • 0.18 g of water

     

  • 0.00224 L of water vapours at 1 atm and 273 K

     

  • 10-3 mol of water

     

(1)

(1)  Mass of water =V×d=18×1=18g

      Molecules of water =mole×NA=1818NA=NA

(2)  Molecules of water =mole×NA=0.1818NA=10-2NA

(3)  Moles of water =0.0022422.4=10-4

       Molecules of water =mole×NA=10-4NA

(4)  Molecules of water =mole×NA=10-3NA



Q 6 :    

Suppose the elements X and Y combine to form two compounds XY2 and X3Y2. When 0.1 mole of XY2 weighs 10 g and 0.05 mole of X3Y2 weighs 9 g, the atomic weights of X and Y are             [2016]

  • 40, 30

     

  • 60, 40

     

  • 20, 30

     

  • 30, 20

     

(1)

Let atomic weight of element X be x and that of element Y be y.

For XY2, n=wMol. wt.

0.1=10x+2yx+2y=100.1=100                             ...(i)

For X3Y2, n=wMol. wt.

0.05=93x+2y3x+2y=90.05=180                   ...(ii)

On solving equations (i) and (ii), we get x=40

40+2y=1002y=60y=30



Q 7 :    

If Avogadro number NA, is changed from 6.022 × 1023 mol-1 to 6.022 × 1020 mol-1, this would change               [2015]

  • the mass of one mole of carbon

     

  • the ratio of chemical species to each other in a balanced equation

     

  • the ratio of elements to each other in a compound

     

  • the definition of mass in units of grams.

     

(1)

Mass of 1 mol (6.022×1023 atoms) of carbon = 12 g

If Avogadro number is changed to 6.022×1020 atoms, then mass of 1 mol of carbon

         =12×6.022×10206.022×1023=12×10-3g



Q 8 :    

The number of water molecules is maximum in           [2015]

  • 1.8 gram of water

     

  • 18 gram of water

     

  • 18 moles of water

     

  • 18 molecules of water.

     

(3)

1.8 gram of water =6.023×102318×1.8

                              =6.023×1022 molecules

18 gram of water =6.023×1023 molecules

18 moles of water =18×6.023×1023 molecules



Q 9 :    

A mixture of gases contains H2 and O2 gases in the ratio of 1 : 4 (w/w). What is the molar ratio of the two gases in the mixture?               [2015]

  • 16 : 1

     

  • 2 : 1

     

  • 1 : 4

     

  • 4 : 1

     

(4)

Number of moles of H2=12

Number of moles of O2=432

Hence, molar ratio =12:432=4:1
