    = 6.644 × 10−23 × 6.022 × 1023

    = 40 g

the atomic mass of Y = 40

No. of gram-atoms (or moles) of X

No. of molecules in 12.2 L gas

    = 0.50 × 6.022 × 1023

    = 3.011 × 1023 molecules

In mono-atomic gases, No. of atoms = No. of molecules

    =3.011 × 1023

In diatomic gases, No. of atoms = 2 × No. of molecules

    = 9.411 × 1023

No of carbon molecules

    = 1 × 9.411 × 1023

    = 9.411 × 1023

No of hydrogen molecules

    = 4 × 9.411 × 1023

    = 3.74 × 1024

Q.17. A metal M of atomic mass 54.94 has a density of 7.42 g/cc. Calculate the apparent volume occupied by one atom of the metal.

Solution:

Mass of 1 mole metal atoms = 54.94 g

Mass of 1 metal atom

    = 54.94 / (6.022 × 1023)

    = 9.12 × 10−23 g

Volume occupied by one metal atom

    = Mass of one metal atom / density

    = 9.12 × 10−23 / 7.42

    = 1.23 × 1023 cc.

Solution:

Molecular mass of CH4

    = 12 + 4 × 1

    = 16

Moles of CH4

    = 3.2 / 16

    = 0.2

No. of electron in 1 molecule of CH4

    = 6 + 4 = 10 electrons

Total no. of electrons

    = 0.2 × 6.022 × 1023 × 10

    = 12.044 × 1023

    = 1.2044 × 1024 electrons.

Q.20. How much Calcium is in the amount of Ca(NO3)2 that contains 20.0g of Nitrogen?

Solution:

Number of Moles of Nitrogen

    = 20 / 14

    = 1.428 moles

From the Molecular formula, it is apparent that, the number of Moles Ca will be half number of Number of Nitrogen

So, number of Moles of Ca

    = 1.428 / 2

    = 0.714 moles

So mass of Ca

    = 0.714 × 40

    = 28.56 g

No. of atoms of P = (x / 20) × NA

Therefore, y = (x / 20) × NA

No. of mole of Q = 2x / 40

No. of atoms of Q

    = (2x / 40) × NA

    = (x / 20) × NA

    = y

Q.26. Oxygen is present in a 1-litre flask at a pressure of 7.6 × 10−10 mm of Hg at 0°C. Calculate the number of oxygen molecules in the flask.

Solution:

Pressure = 7.6 × 10−10 mm Hg

as 1 atm = 760 mm Hg

    p = 7.6 × 10−10 / 760

      = 10−12 atm

Volume = 1 litre

Temperature = 0°C = 273 K

We know

    pV = nRT

or

    n = pV / RT

    n = (10−12 × 1) / (0.0821 × 273)

    = 0.44 × 10−13

    = 4.4×10−14

No. of molecules

    = no. of moles × NA

    = 0.44 × 10−13 × 6.022 × 1023

    = 2.65 × 1010

Solution:

Molar Mass of NaCl

    = 23 + 35.5

    =58.5 g/mol

Mass of 1 mole of NaCl = 58.5 g

Cost of 1 Mole (58.5 g) of NaCl

    = (58.5 / 1000) × 10

    = ₹ 0.585 per mole

Molar Mass of C12H22O11

    = 12 × 12 + 22 × 1 + 11 × 16

    =342 g/mol

Mass of 1 mole of C12H22O11 = 342 g

Cost of 1 Mole (342 g) of C12H22O11

    = (342 / 1000) × 40

    = ₹ 13.68 per mole

Q.30. Calculate the number of oxygen atoms in 0.2 mole of Na2CO3.10H2O.

Solution:

Moles of oxygen atoms in 1 mole of Na2CO3.10H2O

Solution:

It is given that out of 100 atoms, 93 atoms are Hydrogen and 7 atoms are Helium.

Mass of Hydrogen atoms

    = 93 × 1

    = 93

Mass of Helium atoms

    = 7 × 4 = 28

Therefore, Mass percentage of Hydrogen

    = 93 / (93 + 28) × 100

    = 76.86%

Mass percentage of Helium

    = 28 / (93 + 28) × 100

    = 23.14%

Q.32. The molecular mass of haemoglobin is about 65,000 g/mol. Haemoglobin contains 0.35% Fe by mass. How many iron atoms are there in a haemoglobin molecule?

Solution:

Mass of Fe in haemoglobin

    = 0.35% of 65000

    = (0.35 / 100) × 65000

    = 227.5 g

Therefore, No. of Fe atoms in a haemoglobin molecule

    = 227.5 / 56

    = 4

Q.33. Calculate the Number of atoms of oxygen present in 88g of CO2. What would be the weight of the Carbon monoxide having the same number of oxygen atoms?

Solution:

Moles of CO2 in 88 g = 88/44 = 2

Number of Oxygen atom

    = 2 × 6.022 × 1023 × 2

    = 2.4088 × 1024

Number of molecules of CO having 2.4088 × 1024 of oxygen atom will be

    = 2.4088 × 1024

Hence of weight of CO

    = [(2.4088 × 1024) / (6.022 × 1023)] × 28

    = 4 × 28

    = 112 g

Q.34. At room temperature, the density of water is 1.0 g/mL and the density of ethanol is 0.789 g/mL. What volume of ethanol contains the same number of molecules as are present in 175 mL of water?

Solution:

Let the volume of ethanol containing the same number of molecules as are present in 175mL of water be V mL.

Moles of C2H5OH in V mL = Moles of H2O in 175 mL

(Mass of C2H5OH / mol. mass of C2H5OH) = (Mass of H2O / mol. mass of H2O)

As Density = Mass / volume

Mass = Density × Volume

Therefore

    (0.789 × V) / 46 = (1 × 175) / 18

    V = 566.82 mL

4 g of Chlorophyll contains

    = (2.68 / 100) × 4

    = 0.1072 g

Number of atoms of Mg

    = (Mass / Molar mass) × 6.022 × 1023

Rupees = 6.022 × 1023

Rupees spend rate = 106 /sec

Rupees spent per year

    = 106 × 365 × 24 × 60 × 60

Number of Years required to fully spend the money

    = 6.022 × 1023 / (106 × 365 × 24 × 60 × 60)

    = 1.90988 × 1010 years

Q.37. Find the total number of neutrons present in 7 mg of 14C atoms.

Solution:

1 mole of 14C=14 g

No. moles of carbon atoms

    = (7 × 10−3 g) / 14 g

    = 5 × 10−4 Moles

Number of atoms of carbon atoms

    = 6.022 × 1023 × 5 × 10−4

    = 3.011 × 1020

A C-14 atom contains 8 neutrons

Therefore, The total number of neutrons

    = 8 × 3.011 × 1020

    = 2.408 × 1021

Q.38. Calculate approximately the diameter of an atom of mercury, assuming that each atom is occupying a cube of edge length equal to the diameter of the mercury atom. The density of mercury is 13.6 g/cc.

Solution:

Suppose the side of cube = x cm = diameter of mercury atom

Therefore, Volume of 1 Hg atom = x3

Mass of 1 Hg atom

    = density × volume

    = 13.6 × x3

Mass of 1 Hg atom

    = Atomic mass / Avogadro constant

    = 200 / 6.022 × 1023

    13.6 × x3 = 200 / 6.022 × 1023

    x = (2.44 × 10−23)1/3

    = 2.9 × 10−8 cm

Q.39. If 4 g of NaOH dissolves in 36 g of H2O calculate the Mole fraction of each component in the solution. Also, determine the Molarity of solution (specific gravity of solution is 1 gm/L)

Solution:

Mass of NaOH = 4 g

Number of moles of

    = 4 g NaOH / 40 g

    = 0.1 mol

Mass of H2O

    = 36 g

Number of moles of

    = 36 g / 18

    = 2 mol

Mole fraction of water

    = (Number of moles of water) / (No. of moles of water + No. of moles of NaOH)

    = 2 / (2 + 0.1)

    = 0.95

Mole fraction of NaOH

    = (Number of moles of NaOH) / (No. of moles of NaOH + No. of moles of water)

    = 0.1 / (2 + 0.1)

    = 0.047

Mass of solution

    = mass of water + mass of NaOH

    = 36 g + 4 g

    = 40 g

Volume of solution

    = 40 × 1

    = 40 mL (Since specific gravity of solution is = 1 g m/L)

Molarity of solution

    = Number of moles of solute / Volume of solution in litre

    = 0.1 / 0.04

    = 2.5 M

Q.40. A polystyrene, having the formula Br3C6H3(C3H8)n, was prepared by heating styrene with tribromobenzoyl peroxide in the absence of air. If it was found to contain 10.46% bromine by weight, find the value of n.

Solution:

Let the mass of polystyrene be 100 g,

No. of moles of Br in 100g of polystyrene

    = Mass / Molar mass of Br

    = 10.46 / 79.9

    = 0.1309

Molecular Mass of polystyrene Br3C6H3(C3H8)n

    = 3 × 80 + 6 × 12 + 3 × 1 + n × (3 × 12 + 8 × 1)

    = 240 + 72 + 3 + n × 44

    = 315 + 44n

From the formula Br3C6H3(C3H8)n,

No. of moles of Br = 3 × moles of Br3C6H3(C3H8)n

0.1309 = 3 × (mass / molecular mass of polystyrene)

      = 3 × (100 / 315 + 44n)

    n = 44.9

       = 45 (approx.)
