Problem:

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 H
2 gas 

(4) 10 g of O2 gas


Solution:

For each of the options, we will calculate the number of moles.

At STP, 22.4 L = 1 mol

Moles of H2(g) = fraction numerator 15 over denominator 22.4 end fraction = 0.67 mol

moles of N2 (g)fraction numerator 5 over denominator 22.4 end fraction = 0.223 mol
Moles of 0.5 g H
2 gas = fraction numerator 0.5 over denominator 2 end fraction = 0.25 mol

moles of 10 g O2 gas = 10 over 32 = 0.1325 mol

Maximum number of moles = maximum number of molecules = option (a)

Problem:

Which has maximum molecules?
(a) 7 g N
2

(b) 20 g H2 

(c) 16 g NO2 

(d) 16 g SO2


Solution:

Maximum number of moles have maximum number of molecules.
Moles of N
2O = 7 over 44= 0.16 mol 

Moles of H2 = 20 over 2= 10 mol

Moles of NO2 = 16 over 46= 0.35 mol
Moles of SO2 16 over 64= 0.25 mol

H2 has maximum number moles and thus maximum number of molecules. Correct option is (b).

Problem:

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


Solution:

Avogadro number = No

Total number of e_ in CH4 = 10

Number of e– in 1.6 g of CH4 fraction numerator 1.6 over denominator 16 end fraction cross times 10 cross times N subscript o= No

Total number of e_ in H2O = 10

Number of e– in 1.8 g of H2O fraction numerator 1.8 over denominator 18 end fraction cross times 10 cross times N subscript o= No

So, correct option is (b).

Problem:

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


Solution:

Maximum number of moles have maximum number of molecules
So, we will calculate number of moles for each of these.
8 g H2 = 8 over 2 = 4 moles 

44 g of CO44 over 44 = 1 mole
64 g SO2 64 over 64 = 1 mole

48 g of O348 over 48 = 1 mole

Option (a) is correct

Problem:

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


Solution:

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 = 249.5 cross times fraction numerator 1 cross times 10 to the power of 22 over denominator 6.023 cross times 10 to the power of 23 end fraction equals 4.14 space g
Correct option is (b).

Problem:

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


Solution:

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).

Problem:

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


Solution:

1 mole of methane = 16 g = 6.02 x 1023 molecules of CH4
1.6 g = (1.6/16) 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 CHwill have 6.02 x 1022 x 10 electrons = 6.02 x 1023 electrons
Correct option is (b).

Problem:

Which of the following possess highest mass?
(a) 0.2 mol of CO2 gas
(b) 2.24 L SO2
(c) 3.01 x 1023 molecules of water
(d) 20 g calcium


Solution:

For option (a),
1 mole of CO2 = 44 g
then, 0.2 mol of CO2 = 0.2 x 44 = 8.8 g
For option (b),
22.4 L of SO2 = 1 mole = 64 g
2.24 L of SO2 = (2.24/22.4) x 64 = 6.4 g
For option (c),
6.02 x 1023 molecules of water = 1 mole = 18 g
3.01 x 1023 molecules of water = (3.01/6.02) x 18 = 9 g
For option (d),
mass given = 20 g calcium
So, correct option is (d).

Problem:

Volume of oxygen at NTP, required to completely burn 1 kg of coal (100 % carbon) is
(a) 22.4 L
(b) 1.86 x 103 L
(c) 22.4 x 103 L
(d) 1000 L


Solution:

The equation for reaction of coal with oxygen during burning is
C space plus space O subscript 2 space end subscript yields space C O subscript 2
1 mole of C reacts with 1 mole of O2.
Mass of coal = 1 kg = 1000 g
Molar mass of C = 12 g/mol
Moles of C = mass/molar mass = 1000/12 = 83.3 mol
83.3 moles of carbon will react with 83.3 moles of oxygen.
At NTP, 1 mol = 22.4 L
83.3 moles = 22.4 x 83.3 = 1866 L = 1.86 x 103 L
Option (b) is correct.

Problem:

The density of a solution of 3.69 g KI in 21.70 g H2O is 1.11 g/mL. Calculate the % w/v of KI in the solution.
(a) 14.5 % (w/v) 
(b) 16.1 % (w/v) 
(c) 18.9 % (w/v) 
(d) 20.8 % (w/v)


Solution:

Mass of KI = 3.69 g
Mass of water = 21.70 g
Total mass of solution = 3.69+21.70 = 25.39 g
Density of solution = 1.11 g/ml
Total volume of solution = mass of solution/density = 25.39/1.11 = 22.87 ml
So, 22.87 ml of solution contains 3.69 g of KI
100 ml of solution will contain mass of KI = 3.69 x 100/22.87 = 16.13 g
So, % w/v of KI is 16.1 % (w/v)
Option (b) is correct.
