Show SolutionHide Solution↓
Given,
CaSO4.xH2O contains 21% of water of crystallization, so % of CaSO4 = 100 - 21 = 79%
21% of CaSO4.xH2O = $\frac{21}{100}$ x 172.15 = 36.15 g
Molecular weight of water H2O = 2(1) + 16 = 18
Number of molecules (x) = $\frac{36.15}{18}$ = 2 molecules
∴ CaSO4.xH2O = CaSO4.2H2O

(ii) 1 mole of CaCO3 produces 1 mole of CO2 and 1 mole occupies 22.4 l of volume.
∴ 4.5 moles of CaCO3 will produce 4.5 moles of CO2 and 4.5 moles will occupy 22.4 x 4.5 = 100.8 l
(iii) 1 mole CaCO3 produces 111 g. CaCl2

By Avogadro's law: Under the same conditions of temperature and pressure equal volumes of all gases contain the same number of molecules.
(i) Gram molecular mass of ammonia = N + 3(H) = 14 + 3 = 17 g.
17 g. occupies 22.4 lit. of vol.

∴ 8 g of O2 will occupy $\frac{22.4}{32}$ x 8 = 5.6 lit. vol. = Molar volume
If 8 g of O2 occupies 5.6 lit. vol.
And 1 mole of CO2 occupy 22.4 lit and weighs = 44 g at s.t.p.
