Q1: In a reaction 5.3 g of sodium carbonate reacted with 6 g of ethanoic acid. The products were 2.2 g of carbon dioxide, 0.9g water and 8.2 g of sodium ethanoate. Show that these observations are in agreement with the law of conservation of mass.Sodium carbonate + ethanoic acid → sodium ethanoate + carbon dioxide + water

Answer: In a reaction, sodium carbonate reacts with ethanoic acid to produce sodium ethanoate,

carbondioxide, and water.

Sodium    +   Ethanoic  →   Sodium     +    Carbon   +   Water

Carbonate          acid           ethanoate          dioxide

Mass of sodium carbonate = 5.3g (Given)

Mass of ethanoic acid = 6g (Given)

Mass of sodium ethanoate = 8.2g (Given)

Mass of carbon dioxide = 2.2 (Given)

Mass of water = 0.9g (Given)

Now, total mass before the reaction = (5.3 + 6)g  = 11. 3g

and total mass after the reaction = (8.2 + 2.2 + 0.9)g = 11.3g

Therefore, Total mass before the reaction = Total mass after the reaction

Hence, the given observations are in agreement with the law of conservation of mass.

Question 2: Hydrogen and oxygen combine in the ratio of 1 : 8 by mass to form water. What mass of oxygen gas would be required to react completely with 3g of hydrogen gas?

Answer: It is given that the ratio of hydrogen and oxygen by mass to form water is 1:8. Then, the mass of oxygen gas required to react completely with 1g of hydrogen gas is 8g. Therefore, the mass of oxygen gas required to react completely with 3g of hydrogen gas is 8 × 3g = 24 g.

Q3: Which postulate of Dalton’s atomic theory is the result of the law of conservation of mass?

Q 4: Which postulate of Dalton’s atomic theory can explain the law of definite proportions?

Answer : The postulate of Dalton’s atomic theory which can explain the law of definite proportion is

Q 1: Define atomic mass unit.

Answer Mass unit equal to exactly one- twelfth the mass of one atom of carbon – 12 is called one atomic mass unit.

Q 2: Why is it not possible to see an atom with naked eyes?

Answer: The size of an atom is so small that it is not possible to see it with naked eyes. Also, atom of an element does not exist independently.

Q 3:What is meant by the term chemical formula?

Answer The chemical formula of a compound means the symbolic representation of the composition of a compound. From the chemical formula of a compound, we can know the number and kinds of atoms of different elements that constitute the compound. For example, from the

chemical formula CO2 of carbon dioxide, we come to know that one carbon atom and two oxygen

atoms are chemically bonded together to form one molecule of the compound, carbon dioxide.

Q1: Calculate the molecular masses of H2, O2, Cl2, CO2, CH4, C2H6, C2H4, NH3, CH3OH.

Answer:

Molecular mass of H2 = 2 × Atomic mass of H

= 2 × 1 = 2u

Molecular mass of O2 = 2 × Atomic mass of O

= 2 × 16 = 32u

Molecular mass of Cl2 = 2 × Atomic mass of Cl

= 2 × 35.5 = 71 u

Molecular mass of CO2 = Atomic mass of C + 2 × Atomic mass of O

= 12 + 2 × 16 = 44 u

Molecular mass of CH4 = Atomic mass of C + 4 × Atomic mass of H

= 12 + 4 × 1 = 16 u

Molecular mass of C2H6 = 2 × Atomic mass of C + 6 × Atomic mass of H

= 2 × 12 + 6 × 1 = 30u

Molecular mass of C2H4 = 2 × Atomic mass of C + 4 × Atomic mass of H

= 2 × 12 + 4 × 1 = 28u

Molecular mass of NH3 = Atomic mass of N + 3 × Atomic mass of H

= 14 + 3 × 1 =17 u

Molecular mass of CH3OH Atomic mass of C+4 ×Atomic mass of H+Atomic mass of O

= 12 + 4 × 1 + 16 = 32 u

Q 2: Calculate the formula unit masses of ZnO, Na2O, K2CO3, given masses of Zn = 65u, Na = 23u, K= 39u, C = 12u, and O = 16u.

Answer:

Formula unit mass of ZnO = Atomic mass of Zn + Atomic mass of O

= 65 + 16 = 81 u

Formula unit mass of Na2O = 2 × Atomic mass of Na + Atomic mass of O

= 2 × 23 + 16 = 62u

Formula unit mass of K2CO3

= 2 × Atomic mass of K + Atomic mass of C + 3 × Atomic mass of O

= 2 × 39 + 12 + 3 × 16 = 138u

Q 1: If one mole of carbon atoms weighs 12 gram, what is the mass (in gram) of 1 atom of carbon?

Answer:

Q 2: Which has more number of atoms, 100 grams of sodium or 100 grams of iron (given, atomic mass of Na = 23u, Fe =56 u)?

Answer : Atomic mass of Na = 23u (Given)

Then, gram atomic mass of Na = 23g

Therefore, 100 grams of sodium contain more number of atoms than 100 grams of iron.

Q 2: When 3.0 g of carbon is burnt in 8.00 g oxygen, 11.00 g of carbon dioxide is produced. What mass of carbon dioxide will be formed when 3.00 g of carbon is burnt in 50.00 g of oxygen? Which law of chemical combinations will govern your answer?

Answer Carbon + Oxygen → Carbon dioxide

3g of carbon reacts with 8 g of oxygen to produce 11g of carbon dioxide. If 3g of carbon is burnt in 50g of oxygen, then 3g of carbon will react with 8 g of oxygen. The remaining 42 g of oxygen will be left un-reactive. In this case also, only 11g of carbon dioxide will be formed. The above answer is governed by the law of constant proportions.
