The system that contains the maximum numbers of atoms is _______.(A) 4.25 g of NH3 (B) 8 g of O2 (C) 2 g of H2 (D) 4 g of He

Answer»

Correct option: (C) 2 g of H

Total number of atoms in molecule

= n x NA x Atomicity

Atomicity’s of NH3, O2, H2 and He molecules are 4, 2, 2 and 1 respectively.

17 g of NH3 = 4 x NA atoms

∴ 4.25 g of NH3\(\left(\cfrac{4.25}{17}\right)\) x 4 x NA = NA atoms

32 g of O2 = 2 x NA atoms

∴ 8 g of O2\(\cfrac{2\, \times \, 8}{32}\) x NA\(\cfrac{N_A}{2}\) atoms

2 g of H2 = 2 x NA atoms

= 2NA atoms

4 g of He = NA atoms

Thus, the system that contains 2 g of H2 has maximum numbers of atoms.

Answer»

Correct  option: (C) 1.344 x 1018 

22.4 L of water contains NA molecules

22400 mL of water contains NA molecules

1 mL of water i.e., 20 drops contains

\(\cfrac{N_A}{22400} \) molecules

∴ 1 drop contains \(\cfrac{N_A}{22400\, \times 20} \) = \(\cfrac{6.022\, \times\, 10^{23}}{448\, \times 10^3} \)

= 1.344 x 1018

Describe the working of a hydrogen bomb.

Answer»

The hydrogen bomb consists of heavy isotopes of hydrogen (deuterium and tritium) alongwith lithium-6. The explosion of hydrogen bomb is done by using an atom bomb. When the aton bomb is exploded, its fission reaction produces a lot of heat which raises the temperature of deuterium and tritium to 107oC in a few microseconds. Then fusion reactions of deuterium and tritium take place producing a tremendous amount of energy. This explodes the hydrogen bomb. Lithium-6 is used to produce more tritium needed for fusion.

In the nuclear reactor of a power plant: (a) how do control rods control the rate of fission ?(b) how is heat removed from the reactor core, and what use is made of this heat ?

Answer»

(a) Control rods control the rate of fission by absorbing the excess neutrons and preventing the fission reaction from going out of control. 

(b) Heat is removed from the nuclear reactor core with the help of liquid sodium, which absorbs the heat and transfers it to the heat exhanger. This heat is used for converting water in the heat exchanger into steam, which is then used to produce electricity by rotating a turbine and its shaft connected to a generator.

Calculate the number of moles present in:(i) 92 grams of sodium(ii) 108 grams of aluminium.

Answer»

(i) 92 grams of sodium:

Given: Mass of sodium = 92g

Molar mass = 23g/mol

To calculate the number of moles, we apply the formula:

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

Number of moles = \(\frac{92g}{23 g/mol}\)

⇒ Number of moles = 4 mol

Thus, the number of moles in 92 grams of sodium is 4 mol.

(ii) 108 grams of aluminium:

Given: Mass of aluminium = 108g

Molar mass = 27g/mol

To calculate the number of moles, we apply the formula:

Number of moles = \(\frac{Mass\,of\,aluminium}{Molar\,mass\,of\,aluminium}\)

Number of moles = \(\frac{108g}{27 g/mol}\)

⇒ Number of moles = 4 mol

Thus, the number of moles in 108 grams of aluminium is 4 mol.

24273.

An oxide of nitrogen is found to contain nitrogen and oxygen combined together in the ratio of 7: 16 by mass. Derive the formula of the oxide and name it.

Answer»

 It is given that nitrogen and oxygen are combined together in the ratio of 7:16 by mass. 

Mass of nitrogen = 14u 

Mass of oxygen = 16u and mass of O2 = 16× 2 = 32u 

Hence, we can write 14:32 which is equal to 7:16 

Therefore, the formula of the oxide is NO2 and its name is nitrous dioxide.

24274.

Recall the burning of the magnesium ribbon in air. Do you think mass is conserved during this reaction?

100 g of mercuric oxide decompose to give 92.6 g of mercury and 7.4 g of oxygen. Let us assume that 10 g of oxygen reacts completely with 125 g of mercury to give mercuric oxide. Do these values agree with the law of constant proportions?

Answer»

Proportion of oxygen = 7.4 : 10 

Proportion of mercury = 92.6 : 125 

\(\Rightarrow \,\frac{7.4}{10}=\frac{92.6}{125}\Rightarrow0.74=0.74\)

∴ They follow law of constant proportions.
