Question 30

Calculate the average atomic mass of hydrogen using the following data :

Isotope % Natural abundance Molar mass
1H 99.985 1
2H 0.015 2

Solution:

Average atomic mass = 99.985*1+0.015*2/100

=099.985*1+0.015*2/100

=1.00015u

Question 31

Hydrogen gas is prepared in the laboratory by reacting dilute HCl with

granulated zinc. Following reaction takes place.

Zn + 2HCl → ZnCl2 + H2

Calculate the volume of hydrogen gas liberated at STP when 32.65 g of zinc

reacts with HCl. 1 mol of a gas occupies 22.7 L volume at STP; atomic mass of

Zn = 65.3 u.

Solution:

1 mol of gas occupies = 22.7L Volume at STP atomic mass of Zn = 65.3u

From the above equation,

65.3g of Zn when reacts with HCl produces = 22.7L H2 at STP

Therefore, 32.65g of Zn when reacts with HCl will produce = 22.7 * 32.65/65.3 =11.35L of H2 at STP

Question 32

 The density of 3 molal solutions of NaOH is 1.110 g mL–1. Calculate the molarity

of the solution.

Solution:

3 molal solution of NaOH = 3 moles of NaOH dissolved in 1000g water

3 mole of NaOH = 3*40g = 120g

Density of solution = 1.110gmL-1

Volume = mass/density = 1120g/1.110gmL-1 =1.009L

Molarity of the solution = 3/1.009 = 2.97M

Question 33

 The volume of a solution changes with change in temperature, then, will the molality

of the solution be affected by temperature? Give a reason for your answer.

Solution:

Mass does not change as the temperature changes. Therefore, the molality of a solution does not change.

Molality = moles of solute/ weight of solvent (in g) *1000

Question 34

 If 4 g of NaOH dissolves in 36 g of H2O, calculate the mole fraction of each

component in the solution. Also, determine the molarity of the solution (specific

gravity of solution is 1g mL–1).

Solution:

Mole fraction of H2O = No; of moles of H2O/ Total no: of moles (H2O+NaOH)

No: of moles of H2O = 36/18=2moles

No: of moles of NaOH = 4/40=0.1mol

Total no: of moles = 2+0.1= 2.1

Mole fraction of H2O = 2/2.1 = 0.952

Mole fraction of NaOH = 0.1/2.1 = 0.048

Mass of solution = Mass of H2O + Mass of NaOH = 36+4=40G

Volume of the solution = 40/1 = 40mL

Molarity = 0.1/0.04 = 2.5M

Question 35

NCERT Exemplar Class 11 Chemistry Chapter 1 : Long Answer Type Question

Question 42

A vessel contains 1.6 g of dioxygen at STP (273.15K, 1 atm pressure). The

gas is now transferred to another vessel at a constant temperature, where

the pressure becomes half of the original pressure. Calculate

(i) the volume of the new vessel.

(ii) a number of molecules of dioxygen.

Solution:

(i) Moles of oxygen = 1.6/32 = 0.05mol

At STP, 1 mol of O2 = 22.4L

Then volume of O2 = 22.4 × 0.05 = 1.12L

V1 = 1.12L

V2 =?

P1 = 1atm

P2 = ½ = 0.5atm

According to Boyle’s law, p1V1 = p2V2

Substituting the values

V2 = 1 × 1.12/0.5 = 2.24L

(ii) No of molecules in 1.6g or 0.005mol = 6.022 × 1023 × 0.05 = 3.011 × 1022

Question 43

Calcium carbonate reacts with aqueous HCl to give CaCl2 and CO2 according

to the reaction given below:

CaCO3 (s) + 2HCl (aq) → CaCl2(aq) + CO2(g) + H2O(l)

What mass of CaCl2 will be formed when 250 mL of 0.76 M HCl reacts with

1000 g of CaCO3? Name the limiting reagent. Calculate the number of moles

of CaCl2 formed in the reaction.

Solution:

No: of moles of HCl taken = MV/1000 = 0.76*250/1000 = 0.19

No: of moles of CaCO3 = Mass/Molar mass = 1000/100 = 10

1. When CaCO3 is completely consumed

1 mol of CaCO3 = 1 mol CaCl2

10 mol CaCO3 = 10mol CaCl2

2. When HCl is completely consumed.

2 mol HCl = 1 mol CaCl2

0.19mol HCl = ½ × 0.19mol CaCl2 = 0.095 mol CaCl2

HCl will be the limiting reagent and the number of moles of CaCl2 formed will be 0.095mol

Question 44

Define the law of multiple proportions. Explain it with two examples. How

does this law point to the existence of atoms?

Solution:

When two elements combine to form two or more chemical compounds, then the masses of one of the elements which combine with a fixed mass of the other bear a simple ratio to one another is the law of multiple proportions.

For example, carbon combines with oxygen to form two compounds they are carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide

The masses of oxygen which combine with a fixed mass of carbon in carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide are 32 and 16. Therefore oxygen bears: 32:16 ratio or 2:1

Example 2: Sulphur combines with oxygen to form sulphur trioxide and sulphur dioxide

The masses of oxygen which combine with a fixed mass of sulphur in SO3 and SO2 are 48 and 32. Therefore oxygen bears a ratio of 48:32 or 3:2

Question 45

A box contains some identical red coloured balls, labelled as A, each weighing

2 grams. Another box contains identical blue coloured balls, labelled as B,

each weighing 5 grams. Consider the combinations AB, AB2, A2B and A2B3

and show that the law of multiple proportions is applicable.

Solution:

AB ab2 A,B A2B3
Mass of A (in g) 2 2 4 415
Mass of B (in g) 5 10 5

Masses of B which combine with a fixed mass of A are

10g, 20g, 5g, 15g

2 : 4 : 1 : 3

This is the simple whole-number ratio.
