Calculate the number of aluminium ions present in 0.0519 of aluminium oxide.(Hint: The mass of an ion is the same as that of an atom of the same element. Atomic mass of Al = 27 u).

Answer»

One mole of Aluminium oxide

= 2 × 27+ 3 × 16

= 54 + 48

= 102 g.

102 g of Al2O3 = 6.022 × 1023 moles (aluminium oxide)

\(\frac{6.022\times 10^{23}}{102}\times 0.051\) molecules

It means Aluminium present in 0.051 gm

= 3.011 × 1020 Aluminium oxide molecules

Number of Al ions in one mole of Al2O3 = 2

∴ Number of Al Ions In 3.011 × 1026 molecules
0.051 Al2O3

= 2 × 3.011 × Number of Al ions In 3.011 × 1020

= 6.022 × 1020.

24.

Write the atomicity of the following: (i) I2 (ii) H2S (iii) HNO3 (iv) Na2SO4 (v) S8

Answer»

Atomicity: The number of atoms constituting a molecule is known as its atomicity. 

i. In I2 , there are two atoms of iodine constituting a molecule. 

Hence, the atomicity is 2 (diatomic). 

ii. In H2S, there are two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of Sulphur constituting a molecule of H2S. Hence, the atomicity is 3 (triatomic). 

iii. In HNO3 , there are three atoms of oxygen, one atom of nitrogen and one atom of hydrogen sulphur constituting a molecule of HNO3 . Hence, the atomicity is five. 

iv. In Na2SO4 , there are two atoms of sodium, one atom of Sulphur and four atoms of oxygen constituting a molecule of Na2SO4 Hence, the atomicity is seven. 

v. In S8 , there are eight atoms of sulphur constituting a molecule. 

Hence, the atomicity is eight.

28.

Calculate the number of sodium ions that are present in 212g of sodium carbonate.

Answer»

Given: 

Mass of sodium carbonate = 212g 

Sodium carbonate is Na2CO3 

First, we need to calculate the number of moles of sodium carbonate we have in a 212g sample. To calculate this, we will ind the molar mass of sodium carbonate (Na2CO3 ): 

⇒ 2 × Molar mass of sodium + Molar mass of carbon + 3×molar mass of oxygen 

⇒ 2 × 23 + 12 + 3 × 16 

⇒ 46 + 12 + 48 

⇒ 106g/mol 

Thus, the molar mass of Na2CO3 is 106g/mol. 

Now we will calculate total number of moles by applying the

formula given:

Number of moles = \(\frac{Mass\,of\,sodium\,carbonae}{Molar\,mass\,of\,sodium\,carbonate}\)

 Number of moles = \(\frac{212g}{106g/mol}\)

⇒ 2 mol 

Now, we know that every mole of Na2CO3 have 2 moles of Na+ ions.Hence, total moles of Na2CO3 is 4 moles

Number of ions present = 6.022 × 1023 × 4mol = 24.088 × 1023 ions

29.

Number of particles present in 9 grams of aluminium A) 2.007 × 1023B) 3.011 × 1023 C) 18.066 × 1023 D) 6.022 × 1023

Answer»

Which among the following is (are) double displacement reaction(s)?(i) Pb + CuCl2→ PbCl2 + Cu (ii) Na2SO4 + BaCl2→ BaSO4 + 2NaCl (iii) C + O2→ CO2 (iv) CH4 + 2O2→ CO2 + 2H2O A. (i) and (iv) B. (ii) only C. (i) and (ii) D. (iii) and (iv)

Answer»

The reaction (i) is a type of displacement reaction as Pb displaces Cu and form a new compound PbCl2

The reaction (ii) is a type of double displacement reaction in which exchange of ions takes place.

The reaction (iii) is a type of combination reaction in which carbon and oxygen are combined together to form a single product that is CO2 .

The reaction (iv) is a type of exothermic reaction as the burning of natural gas (CH4 ) releases a large amount of energy

Why the symbols of few elements, like sodium, do not start with the initial letter of the name?

Answer»

The symbols of a few elements like sodium do not start with the initial letter
of the name because their symbol was derived from their names in Latin.
For example:
i. The symbol of sodium (Na) was derived from its latin name “natrium”
ii. The symbol of potassium (K) was derived from its latin name “kalium”
iii. The symbol of iron (Fe) was derived from its latin name “ferrum”

35.

Convert 12.044 × 1023 number of He atoms into number of moles.

Answer»

We know, 1 mole = 6.022 × 1023 (Na = Avogadro’s number) 

The number of moles = \(\frac{Given\,number\,of\,atoms}{Avogadro's\,number}\)

Number of moles = \(\frac{12.044\times10^{23}}{6.022\times10^{23}}\)

Number of moles = 2 

Thus, number of moles of He is 2.

निम्न चित्र में धारा का मान ज्ञात कीजिए- 

Answer»

बिन्दु P पर धारा i1 = बिन्दु P की ओर आने वाली धाराओं का योग – बिन्दु P से दूर जाने वाली धाराओं का योग 

i1 = 2 + 2 – 1 = 3 A बिन्दु Q पर धारा 

i2 = i1 – 1 A = 3 – 1 = 2 A 

बिन्दु R पर धारा i2 + 1 A = i + 1.2 A 

i = (2 + 1 – 1.2) A = 1.8 A

43.

The reaction, 3MnO2 (s) + 4Al(s) → 3Mn(ℓ) + 2Al2O5 (s) + Heat is an example of:A. Combination and exothermic reaction B. Combination and endothermic reaction. C. Displacement and exothermic reaction. D. Displacement and endothermic reaction.

Answer»

In the given reaction,

3MnO2 (s) + 4Al(s) → 3Mn(ℓ) + 2Al2O5 (s) + Heat 

Aluminum being more reactive displaces the manganese metal and forms a new compound. Hence it is a displacement reaction.

The heat is also released along with the formation of products, hence it is an exothermic reaction.
