The maximum number of molecules is present in
(1) 15 L of H2 gas at STP
(2) 5 L of N2 gas at STP
(3) 0.5 g of H2 gas
(4) 10 g of O2 gas
For each of the options, we will calculate the number of moles.
At STP, 22.4 L = 1 mol
Moles of H2(g) = = 0.67 mol
moles of N2 (g)= = 0.223 mol
Moles of 0.5 g H2 gas = = 0.25 mol
moles of 10 g O2 gas = = 0.1325 mol
Maximum number of moles = maximum number of molecules = option (a)
Which has maximum molecules?
(a) 7 g N2O
(b) 20 g H2
(c) 16 g NO2
(d) 16 g SO2
Maximum number of moles have maximum number of molecules.
Moles of N2O = = 0.16 mol
Moles of H2 = = 10 mol
Moles of NO2 = = 0.35 mol
Moles of SO2 = = 0.25 mol
H2 has maximum number moles and thus maximum number of molecules. Correct option is (b).
The total number of electrons in 1.6 g of CH4 to that in 1.8 g of H2O
(a) Double
(b) Same
(c) Triple
(d) One fourth
Avogadro number = No
Total number of e_ in CH4 = 10
Number of e– in 1.6 g of CH4 = = No
Total number of e_ in H2O = 10
Number of e– in 1.8 g of H2O = = No
So, correct option is (b).
Which has the maximum number of molecules among the following?
(a) 8 g H2
(b) 64 g SO2
(c) 44 g CO2
(d) 48 g O3
Maximum number of moles have maximum number of molecules
So, we will calculate number of moles for each of these.
8 g H2 = = 4 moles
44 g of CO2 = = 1 mole
64 g SO2 = = 1 mole
48 g of O3 = = 1 mole
Option (a) is correct
Weight of 1 x 1022 molecules of CuSO4.5H2O is
(a) 41.4 g
(b) 4.14 g
(c) 414.9 g
(d) 24.6 g
molar mass of CuSO4.5H2O = 249.5 g/mol
1 mole = 6.023 x 1023 molecules
Mass of 6.023 x 1023 molecules = 249.5 g
mass of 1 x 1022 molecules =
Correct option is (b).
Which has the maximum number of atoms?
(a) 10.8 g of Ag
(b) 2.4 g of C
(c) 5.6 g of Fe
(d) 54 g of Al
The best way is to convert all the options into the moles.
Option (a) 10.8 g of Ag: 108 g of Ag = 1 mole
10.8 g of Ag = 10.8/108 = 0.1 mol
Option (b) 2.4 of C: 12 g of C = 1 mole
2.4 g of C = 2.4/12 = 0.2 mol
Option (c) 5.6 g of Fe: 56 g of Fe = 1 mole
5.6 g of Fe = 5.6/56 = 0.1 mol
Option (d) 54 g of Al: 27 g of Al = 1 mole
54 g of Al = 54/27 = 2.0 mol
More is the number of moles, more are the number of atoms.
So, correct option is (d).
Number of electrons present in 1.6 g of methane is
(a) 6.02 x 1024
(b) 6.02 x 1023
(c) 6.02 x 1022
(d) 6.02 x 1021
1 mole of methane = 16 g = 6.02 x 1023 molecules of CH4
1.6 g = (1.6/16) x 6.02 x 1023 = 6.02 x 1022 molecules of CH4
C has 6 electrons and H has 1 electron.
In total, 1 molecule of CH4 has 10 electrons.
So, 6.02 x 1022 molecules of CH4 will have 6.02 x 1022
