1(a)Exercise 5A

Calculate the volume of oxygen at STP required for the complete combustion of 100 litres of carbon monoxide at the same temperature and pressure.

2CO + O2 ⟶ 2CO2

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

From equation:

$$\begin{matrix} 2\text{CO} & + & \text{O}_2 & \longrightarrow & 2 \text{CO}_2 \\ 2 \text{ vol.} & : & 1 \text{ vol.} & \longrightarrow & 2\text{ vol.} \end{matrix}$$

[By Gay Lussac's law]

2 V of CO requires = 1V of O2

∴ 100 litres of CO requires = $\frac{1}{2}$ x 100 = 50 litres.

Hence, required volume of oxygen is 50 litres.

1(b)Exercise 5A

200 cm3 of hydrogen and 150 cm3 of oxygen are mixed and ignited, as per the following reaction,

2H2 + O2 ⟶ 2H2O

What volume of oxygen remains unreacted?

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

$$\begin{matrix} 2\text{H}_2 & + & \text{O}_2 & \longrightarrow & 2\text{H}_2\text{O} \\ 2 \text{ vol.} & : & 1 \text{ vol.} & \longrightarrow & 2\text{ vol.} \end{matrix}$$

2 Vol. of hydrogen reacts with 1 Vol. of oxygen

∴ 200 cm3 of hydrogen reacts with = $\frac{1}{2}$ x 200 = 100 cm3 of oxygen.

Hence, unreacted oxygen is 150 - 100 = 50cm3

2Exercise 5A

24 cc Marsh gas (CH4) was mixed with 106 cc oxygen and then exploded. On cooling, the volume of the mixture became 82 cc, of which, 58 cc was unchanged oxygen. Which law does this experiment support? Explain with calculations.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

This experiment supports Gay-Lussac's law of combining volumes.

Since the unchanged oxygen is 58 cc so, used oxygen 106 - 58 = 48cc

According to Gay-Lussac's law, the volumes of gases reacting should be in a simple ratio.

$$\begin{matrix} \text{CH}_4 & + & 2\text{O}_2 & \longrightarrow & 2\text{CO}_2 + \text{H}_2\text{O} \\ 1 \text{ vol.} & : & 2 \text{ vol.} \\ 24 \text{ cc} & : & 48 \text{ cc} \end{matrix}$$

Hence, methane and oxygen are in the ratio 1:2 .

3Exercise 5A

What volume of oxygen would be required to burn completely 400 mL of acetylene [C2H2]? Also, calculate the volume of carbon dioxide formed.

2C2H2 + 5O2 ⟶ 4CO2 + 2H2O (l)

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

$$\begin{matrix} 2\text{C}_2\text{H}_2 & + & 5\text{O}_2 & \longrightarrow & 4\text{CO}_2 & + & 2\text{H}_2\text{O} \\ 2 \text{ vol.} & : & 5 \text{ vol.} & \longrightarrow & 4 \text{ vol.} & \\ \end{matrix}$$

[By Gay Lussac's law]

2 Vol. of C2H2 requires 5 Vol. of oxygen

∴ 400 ml C2H2 will require $\frac{5}{2}$ x 400

= 1000 ml of Oxygen

Hence, required volume of oxygen = 1000 ml

Similarly,

2 Vol. of C2H2 produces 4 Vol. of Carbon dioxide

∴ 400 ml of C2H2 produces $\frac{4}{2}$ x 400

= 800 ml of Carbon dioxide

Hence, carbon dioxide produced = 800 ml

4Exercise 5A

112 cm3 of H2S (g) is mixed with 120 cm3 of Cl2 (g) at STP to produce HCl (g) and sulphur (s). Write a balanced equation for this reaction and calculate

(i) the volume of gaseous product formed

(ii) composition of the resulting mixture

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

$$\begin{matrix} \text{H}_2\text{S} & + & \text{Cl}_2 & \longrightarrow & 2\text{HCl} & + & \text{S} \\ 1\text{ vol.} & : & 1 \text{ vol.} & \longrightarrow & 2 \text{ vol.} & : & 1\text{ vol.} \\ \end{matrix}$$

(i) At STP,

1 mole gas occupies = 22.4 L.

1 mole H2S gas produces = 2 moles HCl gas,

∴ 22.4 L H2S gas produces

= 22.4 × 2

= 44.8 L HCl gas.

Hence, 112 cm3 H2S gas will produce

= 112 × 2

= 224 cm3 HCl gas.

Hence, 224 cm3 HCl gas is produced.

(ii) 1 mole H2S gas consumes = 1 mole Cl2 gas.

Hence, 22.4 L H2S gas consumes = 22.4 L Cl2 gas at STP.

∴ 112 cm3 H2S gas consumes = 112 cm3 Cl2 gas.

Volume of Cl2 gas left unreacted = Total volume of Cl2 gas - Volume of Cl2 gas consumed

= 120 cm3 - 112 cm3

= 8 cm3

Hence, the composition of the resulting mixture is 224 cm3 HCl gas + 8 cm3 Cl2 gas.

5Exercise 5A

1250 cc of oxygen was burnt with 300 cc of ethane [C2H6]. Calculate the volume of unused oxygen and the volume of carbon dioxide formed:

2C2H6 + 7O2 ⟶ 4CO2 + 6H2O

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

$$\begin{matrix} 2\text{C}_2\text{H}_6 & + & 7\text{O}_2 & \longrightarrow & 4\text{CO}_2 & + & 6\text{H}_2\text{O} \\ 2 \text{ vol.} & : & 7 \text{ vol.} & \longrightarrow & 4 \text{ vol.} & \\ \end{matrix}$$

[By Gay Lussac's law]

2 Vol. of C2H6 requires 7 Vol. of oxygen

∴ 300 cc C2H6 will require $\frac{7}{2}$ x 300

= 1050 cc of Oxygen

Hence, unused oxygen = 1250 - 1050 = 200 cc

Similarly,

2 Vol. of C2H6 produces 4 Vol. of carbon dioxide

∴ 300 cc C2H6 produces $\frac{4}{2}$ x 300

= 600 cc of Carbon dioxide

Hence, carbon dioxide produced = 600 cc.

6Exercise 5A

Water decomposes to O2 and H2 under suitable conditions as represented by the equation below:

2H2O ⟶ 2H2 + O2

(a) If 2500 cm3 of H2 is produced, what volume of O2 is liberated at the same time and under the same conditions of temperature and pressure?

(b) The 2500 cm3 of H2 is subjected to $2\frac{1}{2}$ times increase in pressure (temp. remaining constant). What volume will H2 now occupy?

(c) Taking the volume of H2 calculated in 5(b), what changes must be made in Kelvin (absolute) temperature to return the volume to 2500 cm3 pressure remaining constant.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

$$\begin{matrix} 2\text{H}_2\text{O} & \longrightarrow & 2\text{H}_2 & + &\text{O} \\ 2\text{ Vol.} & & 2\text{ Vol.}& & 1\text{ Vol.} \end{matrix}$$

2 Vol. of water gives 2 Vol. of H2 and 1 Vol. of O2

∴ If 2500 cm3 of H2 is produced, volume of O2 produced = $\frac{2500}{2}$ = 1250 cm3

(b) V1 = 2500 cm3

P1 = 1 atm = 760 mm

T1 = T

T2 = T

P2 = [760 x 2 $\frac{1}{2}$] + [760] = 760 [$\frac{5}{2}$ + 1] = 760 x $\frac{7}{2}$ = 2660 mm

V2 = ?

Using formula:

$\frac{\text{P}_1\text{V}_1}{\text{T}_1}$ = $\frac{\text{P}_2\text{V}_2}{\text{T}_2}$

$\frac{760 \times 2500}{\text{T}}$ = $2660 \times \frac{\text{V}_2}{\text{T}}$

V2 = $\frac{760 \times 2500 }{2660}$ = $\frac{5000}{7}$

(c) V1 = $\frac{5000}{7}$ = 714.29 cm3

P1 = P2 = P

T1 = T

V2 = 2500 cm3

T2 = ?

Using formula:

$\frac{\text{P}_1\text{V}_1}{\text{T}_1}$ = $\frac{\text{P}_2\text{V}_2}{\text{T}_2}$

$\frac{\text{P} \times 714.29}{\text{T}}$ = $\frac{\text{P} \times 2500}{\text{T}_2}$

T2 = $\frac{2500 }{714.29}$ x T

T2 = 3.5 x T

Hence, T2 = 3.5 times T or temperature should be increased by 3.5 times

7Exercise 5A

Calculate the volume of HCl gas formed and chlorine gas required when 40 ml of methane reacts completely with chlorine at STP.

CH4 + 2Cl2 ⟶ CH2Cl2 + 2HCl

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

$$\begin{matrix} \text{CH}_4 & + & 2\text{Cl}_2 & \longrightarrow & \text{CH}_2\text{Cl}_2 & + & 2\text{HCl} \\ 1 \text{ vol.} & : & 2 \text{ vol.} & \longrightarrow & 1 \text{ vol.} & : & 2 \text{ vol.}\\ \end{matrix}$$

volume of HCl gas formed = ?

[By Gay Lussac's law]

1 Vol of methane produces = 2 Vol. HCl

∴ 40 ml of methane produces = 80 ml HCl

volume of chlorine gas required = ?

For 1 Vol of methane = 2V of Cl2 required

∴ for 40 ml of methane = 40 x 2 = 80 ml of Cl2 is required.

Hence, volume of HCl gas formed = 80 ml and chlorine gas required = 80 ml

8Exercise 5A

What volume of propane is burnt for every 500 cm3 of air used in the reaction under the same conditions? (Assuming oxygen is 1/5th of air)

C3H8 + 5O2 ⟶ 3CO2 + 4H2O

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given, oxygen is 1⁄5th of air = $\frac{1}{5}$ of 500 = 100 cm3

$$\begin{matrix} \text{C}_3\text{H}_8 & + & 5\text{O}_2 & \longrightarrow & 3\text{CO}_2 & + & 4\text{H}_2\text{O} \\ 1 \text{ vol.} & : & 5 \text{ vol.} & \longrightarrow & 3 \text{ vol.} & \\ \end{matrix}$$

[By Gay Lussac's law]

5 Vol. of O2 requires 1 Vol. of propane

∴ 100 cm3 of O2 will require = $\frac{1}{5}$ x 100 = 20 cm3

Hence, propane burnt = 20 cm3 or 20 cc

9Exercise 5A

450 cm3 of nitrogen monoxide and 200 cm3 of oxygen are mixed together and ignited. Calculate the composition of resulting mixture.

2NO + O2 ⟶ 2NO2

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

$$\begin{matrix} 2\text{NO} & + & \text{O}_2 & \longrightarrow & 2\text{NO}_2 \\ 2 \text{ vol.} & : & 1 \text{ vol.} & \longrightarrow & 2 \text{ vol.} \\ \end{matrix}$$

[By Gay Lussac's law]

1 Vol. of O2 reacts with = 2V of NO

200 cm3 oxygen will react with
= 200 × 2
= 400 cm3 of NO

∴ remaining NO is 450 - 400 = 50 cm3

NO2 = ?

1 Vol. of O2 produces 2 Vol. of NO2

∴ 200 cm3 of oxygen produces = $\frac{2}{1}$ x 200 = 400cm3

Hence, NO2 produced = 400 cm3 and unused nitrogen monoxide (NO) is 50 cm3, so total mixture = 400 + 50 = 450 cm3

10Exercise 5A

If 6 litres of hydrogen and 4 litres of chlorine are mixed and exploded and if water is added to the gases formed, find the volume of the residual gas.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

$$\begin{matrix} \text{H}_2 & + & \text{Cl}_2 & \longrightarrow & 2\text{HCl} \\ 1 \text{ vol.} & : & 1 \text{ vol.} & \longrightarrow & 2 \text{ vol.} \\ \end{matrix}$$

[By Gay Lussac's law]

1 Vol. of chlorine reacts with = 1 Vol. of hydrogen

∴ 4 litres of chlorine will react with only 4 litres of hydrogen,

hence, 6 - 4 = 2 litres of hydrogen will remain unreacted.

Since, vol. of HCl gas formed is twice that of chlorine used,

∴ vol.of HCl formed will be 4 x 2 = 8 litres However HCl dissolves in water.

Hence, 2 litres of hydrogen is the residual gas, as HCl formed dissolves in water.

11Exercise 5A

Ammonia may be oxidised to nitrogen monoxide in the presence of a catalyst according to the following equation.

4NH3 + 5O2 ⟶ 4NO + 6H2O

If 27 litres of reactants are consumed, what volume of nitrogen monoxide is produced at the same temperature and pressure?

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

$$\begin{matrix} 4\text{NH}_3 & + & 5\text{O}_2 & \longrightarrow & 4\text{NO} & + & 6\text{H}_2\text{O} \\ 4 \text{ vol.} & : & 5 \text{ vol.} & \longrightarrow & 4 \text{ vol.} \\ \end{matrix}$$

[By Gay Lussac's law]

9 litres of reactants produces = 4 litres of NO

So, 27 litres of reactants will produces

$$\begin{aligned}=\frac{4}{9} \times 27 \\[0.5em] = 12 \text{ litres}\end{aligned}$$

Hence, volume of nitrogen monoxide produced = 12 litres

12Exercise 5A

A mixture of hydrogen and chlorine occupying 36 cm3 was exploded. On shaking it with water, 4 cm3 of hydrogen was left behind. Find the composition of the initial mixture.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

According to Gay lussac's law,

$$\begin{matrix} \text{H}_2 & + & \text{Cl}_2 & \longrightarrow & 2\text{HCl} \\ 1 \text{ vol.} & : & 1 \text{ vol.} & \longrightarrow & 2 \text{ vol.} \\ \end{matrix}$$

As, 4 cm3 of hydrogen was left behind, hence, 36 - 4 = 32 cm3 of mixture of hydrogen and chlorine exploded.

As, 1 Vol. of hydrogen requires 1 Vol. of oxygen
∴ 16 cm3 hydrogen requires 16 cm3 of oxygen

∴ Mixture is 20 cm3 (i.e., 16 + 4) of hydrogen and 16 cm3 of chlorine.

13Exercise 5A

What volume of air (containing 20% O2 by volume) will be required to burn completely 10 cm3 each of methane and acetylene.

CH4 + 2O2 ⟶ CO2 + 2H2O

2C2H2 + 5O2 ⟶ 4CO2 + 2H2O

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

$$\begin{matrix} \text{CH}_4 & + & 2\text{O}_2 & \longrightarrow & \text{CO}_2 & + & 2\text{H}_2\text{O} \\ 1 \text{ vol.} & : & 2 \text{ vol.} & \longrightarrow & 1\text{ vol.} \\ 2\text{C}_2\text{H}_2 & + & 5\text{O}_2 & \longrightarrow & 4\text{CO}_2 & + & 2\text{H}_2\text{O} \\ 2 \text{ vol.} & : & 5 \text{ vol.} & \longrightarrow & 4\text{ vol.} \\ \end{matrix}$$

[By Gay Lussac's law]

1 Vol. CH4 requires 2 Vol. of O2

∴ 10 cm3 CH4 will require 2 x 10

= 20 cm3 of O2

Given, air contains 20% O2 by volume.

Let $x$ volume of air contain 20 cm3 of O2

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow \frac{20}{100} \times x = 20 \\[1em] \Rightarrow x = \frac{100}{20} \times 20 \\[1em] \Rightarrow x = 100 \text{ cm}^3\end{aligned}$$

∴ 20 cm3 O2 is present in 100 cm3 of air.

Similarly, 2 Vol C2H2 requires 5 Vol. of oxygen

∴ 10 cm3 C2H2 will require $\frac{5}{2}$ x 10

= 25 cm3 of oxygen

Given, air contains 20% O2 by volume

Let $x$ volume of air contain 25 cm3 of O2

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow \frac{20}{100} \times x = 25 \\[1em] \Rightarrow x = \frac{100}{20} \times 25 \\[1em] \Rightarrow x = 125 \text{ cm}^3\end{aligned}$$

∴ 25 cm3 O2 is present in 125 cm3 of air.

Hence, total volume of air required is 100 + 125 = 225 cm3

LPG has 60% propane and 40% butane: 10 litres of this mixture is burnt. Calculate the volume of carbon dioxide added to atmosphere.

C3H8 + 5O2 ⟶ 3CO2 + 4H2O

2C4H10 + 13O2 ⟶ 8CO2 + 10H2O

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given, 10 litres of this mixture contains 60% propane and 40% butane. Hence, propane is 6 litres and butane is 4 litres

$$\begin{matrix} \text{C}_3\text{H}_8 & + & 5\text{O}_2 & \longrightarrow & 3\text{CO}_2 & + & 4\text{H}_2\text{O} \\ 1 \text{ vol.} & : & 5 \text{ vol.} & \longrightarrow & 3\text{ vol.} \\ 2\text{C}_4\text{H}_{10} & + & 13\text{O}_2 & \longrightarrow & 8\text{CO}_2 & + & 10\text{H}_2\text{O} \\ 2 \text{ vol.} & : & 13 \text{ vol.} & \longrightarrow & 8\text{ vol.} \\ \end{matrix}$$

1 Vol. C3H8 produces carbon dioxide = 3 Vol

So, 6 litres C3H8 will produce carbon dioxide = 3 x 6 = 18 litres

2 Vol. C4H10 produces carbon dioxide = 8 Vol

So, 4 litres C4H10 will produce carbon dioxide = $\frac{8}{2}$ x 4 = 16 litres

Hence, 34 (i.e., 18 + 16) litres of CO2 is produced.

15Exercise 5A

What volume of oxygen at STP is required to affect the combustion of 11 litres of ethylene [C2H4] at 273°C and 380 mm of Hg pressure?

C2H4 + 3O2 ⟶ 2CO2 + 2H2O

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

$$\begin{matrix} \text{C}_2\text{H}_4 & + & 3\text{O}_2 & \longrightarrow & 2\text{CO}_2 + 2\text{H}_2\text{O} \\ 1 \text{ vol.} & : & 3 \text{ vol.} \\ 11 \text{ lit} & : & 33 \text{ lit} \end{matrix}$$

STPGiven Values
P1 = 760 mm of HgP2 = 380 mm of Hg
V1 = x litV2 = 33 lit
T1 = 273 KT2 = 273 + 273 K = 546 K

Using the gas equation,

$\frac{P_{1}V_{1}}{T_{1}} = \frac{P_{2}V_{2}}{T_{2}}$

Substituting the values we get,

$$\begin{aligned}\frac{760 \times x}{273} = \frac{380 \times 33}{546} \\[0.5em] x = \frac{380 \times 33 \times 273}{546 \times 760 } \\[0.5em] x = \frac{3,423,420}{414,960} \\ \\[0.5em] x = 8.25 \text{ lit}\end{aligned}$$

Hence, volume of oxygen required = 8.25 lit.

Reason — According to Avogadro's law, equal volumes of all gases under similar conditions of temperature and pressure contain same number of molecules. If 20 lit of nitrogen contains x molecules then 20 lit of ammonia will also contain x molecules. As volume of chlorine is half that of nitrogen so it will contain half the number of molecules of nitrogen i.e., x/2. Similarly, sulphur dioxide will contain x/4 molecules.

The gases A and B are under the same conditions of temperature and pressure.

(ii) Name the law on which the above problem is based.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

(a) Given, 150 cc of gas A contains X molecules. According to Avogadro's law, 150 cc of gas B will also contain X molecules.

So, 75 cc of gas B will contain $\frac{x}{2}$ molecules.

(b) The problem is based on Avogadro's law.

Find the:

(a) number of moles in 10 g of CaCO3,

(b) weight of 0.2 mole of H2 gas,

(c) number of molecules in 3.2 g of SO2.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

(a) Number of moles in 10 g of CaCO3 —

Mass of 1 mole of CaCO3 = 40 + 12 + 3(16) = 52 + 48 = 100 g

100 g of CaCO3 = 1 mole

∴ 10 g of CaCO3 = $\frac{1 \times 10}{100}$

= 0.1 mole

(b) Weight of 0.2 mole H2 gas —

1 mole of H2 weighs = 2 g

∴ 0.2 moles will weigh = $\frac{2 \times 0.2}{1}$ = 0.4 g

(c) No. of molecules in 3.2 g of SO2 —

Molecular wt. of any substance contain 6 × 1023 molecules.

Mass of 1 mole of SO2 is 32 + 2(16) = 32 + 32 = 64 g

64 g of SO2 contains 6 × 1023 molecules

∴ 3.2 g of SO2 contains $\frac{6 \times 10^{23} \times 3.2 }{64}$

= 3 x 1022 molecules.

Which of the following would weigh most?

(a) 1 mole of H2O

(b) 1 mole of CO2

(c) 1 mole of NH3

(d) 1 mole of CO

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

1 mole of CO2

Reason —

Weight of H2O = 2 + 16 = 18 g

Weight of CO2 = 12 + (2 x 16) = 12 + 32 = 44 g

Weight of NH3 = 14 + (3 x 1) = 14 + 3 = 17 g

Weight of CO = 12 + 16 = 28 g

As weight of CO2 is maximum, hence 1 mole of CO2 will weigh the most.

4Exercise 5B

Which of the following contains maximum number of molecules?

(a) 4 g of O2

(b) 4 g of NH3

(c) 4 g of CO2

(d) 4 g of SO2

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

4 g of NH3

Reason —

(a) No. of molecules in 4 g of O2

Molecular wt. of any substance contain 6.022 × 1023 molecules.

Mass of 1 mole of O2 is 2(16) = 32 g

32 g of O2 contains 6.022 × 1023 molecules

∴ 4 g of O2 contains $\frac{6.022 \times 10^{23} \times 4}{32}$

= 7.5 x 1022 molecules.

Similarly,

(b) 4 g of NH3 [14 + 3 = 17g ] contains $\frac{6.022 \times 10^{23} \times 4}{17}$

(c) 4 g of CO [12 + 16 = 28g ] contains $\frac{6.022 \times 10^{23} \times 4}{28}$

(d) 4 g of SO2 [32 + 32 = 64g ] contains $\frac{6.022 \times 10^{23} \times 4}{64}$

∴ 4g of NH3 having minimum molecular mass contains maximum molecules.

Note : The fraction with lowest denominator gives the highest value. Hence, by observation we can say that 4 g of NH3 has maximum number of molecules.

5(a)Exercise 5B

Calculate the number of particles in 0.1 mole of any substance.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

No. of particles in 1 mole = 6.022 × 1023

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Mass of 1 mole of CaCl2 = Ca + 2Cl = 40 + (2 x 35.5) = 40 + 71 = 111 g

111 g of CaCl2 contains 6.022 × 1023 molecules

∴ 1000 g of CaCl2 contains $\frac{6.022 \times 10^{23} \times 1000}{111}$

= 5.42 × 1024 molecules

An unknown gas shows a density of 3 g per litre at 273°C and 1140 mm Hg pressure. What is the gram molecular mass of this gas?

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given:

P = 1140 mm Hg

Density = D = 3 g per L

At S.T.P., the volume of one mole of any gas is 22.4 L

Volume of unknown gas at S.T.P. = ?

By Charle’s law.

V1 = 1 L

T1 = 546 K

T2 = 273 K

V2 = ?

$\frac{\text{V}_1}{\text{T}_1}$ = $\frac{\text{V}_2}{\text{T}_2}$

Hence, V2 = $\frac{1}{546}$ x 273 = 0.5 L

Volume at standard pressure = ?

Apply Boyle’s law.

P1 = 1140 mm Hg

V1 = 0.5 L

P2 = 760 mm Hg

V2 = ?

P1 × V1 = P2 × V2

V2 = $\frac{1140 \times 0.5}{760}$ = 0.75 L

Now,

22.4 L = 1 mole of any gas at S.T.P.,

then 0.75 L = $\frac{0.75}{22.4}$

= 0.0335 moles

The original mass is 3 g

Molecular mass = $\frac{\text{Mass of compound}}{\text{Moles of compound}}$

= $\frac{3}{0.0335 }$ = 89.55 ≈ 89.6 g per mole

Hence, the gram molecular mass of the unknown gas is 89.6g

A hydrocarbon contains 4.8 g of carbon per gram of hydrogen. Calculate:

(a) the gram atom of each,

(b) find the empirical formula,

(a) Given, hydrocarbon contains 4.8 g of carbon per gram of hydrogen

Gram atom = $\frac{\text{Mass of element}}{\text{Atomic mass}}$

Simplest ratio of whole numbers = H : C = $\frac{5 }{2}$ : 1 = 5 : 2

Hence, empirical formula is C2H5

(c) Empirical formula weight = (2 x 12) + (5 x 1) = 24 + 5 = 29

V.D. = 29

Molecular weight = 2 x V.D. = 2 x 29 = 58

$$\begin{aligned}\text{n} = \frac{\text{Molecular weight}}{\text{Empirical formula weight}} \\[0.5em] = \frac{58}{29} = 2\end{aligned}$$

Simplest ratio of whole numbers = C : H = 1 : $\frac{5 }{2}$ = 2 : 5

Hence, empirical formula is C2H5

Empirical formula weight = 2(12) + 5(1) = 29

Molecular weight = 2 x V.D. = 2 x 29

$$\begin{aligned}\text{n} = \frac{\text{Molecular weight}}{\text{Empirical formula weight}} \\[0.5em] = \frac{2 \times 29}{29} =2\end{aligned}$$

In a compound of magnesium (Mg = 24) and nitrogen (N = 14), 18 g of magnesium combines with 7g of nitrogen. Deduce the simplest formula by answering the following questions.

(a) How many gram-atoms of magnesium are equal to 18g?

(b) How many gram-atoms of nitrogen are equal to 7g of nitrogen?

(c) Calculate simple ratio of gram-atoms of magnesium to gram-atoms of nitrogen and hence the simplest formula of the compound formed.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

(a) Gram atom = $\frac{\text{Mass of element}}{\text{Atomic mass}}$

∴ g atom of magnesium = $\frac{18}{24}$ = $\frac{3}{4}$

Hence, $\frac{3}{4}$ gram atoms of magnesium are equal to 18g of magnesium.

(b) g atom of nitrogen = $\frac{7}{14}$ = $\frac{1}{2}$

Hence, $\frac{1}{2}$ gram atoms of nitrogen are equal to 7g of nitrogen.

(c) simple ratio of gram-atoms of magnesium to gram-atoms of nitrogen

= $\frac{\frac{3}{4}}{\frac{1}{2}}$ = $\frac{3}{2}$ = magnesium : nitrogen

So, the formula is Mg3N2

Barium chloride crystals contain 14.8% water of crystallisation. Find the number of molecules of water of crystallisation per molecule.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Barium chloride = BaCl2.xH2O

Molecular weight of BaCl2.xH2O = Ba + 2Cl + x(2H + O)

= 137 + (2 x 35.5) + x(2+16)

= 137 + (2 x 35.5) + x(2+16)

= 137 + 71 + 18x

= (208 + 18 x)

(208 + 18 x) contains 14.8% of water of crystallisation in BaCl2.x H2O

∴ 14.8% of (208 + 18 x) = 18x

$\Big[\frac{14.8}{100}\Big]$ x [208 + 18 x] = 18x

[0.148 x 208 ] + [0.148 x 18x] = 18x

30.784 = 18x - [0.148 x 18x]

30.784 = 18x - 2.664x

30.784 = 15.336x

x = $\frac{30.784}{15.336}$ = 2

Hence, Barium chloride crystals contain 2 molecules of water of crystallisation per molecule.

T1 = 27 + 273 K = 300 K

T2 = 273 K

V2 = ?

Using formula:

$\frac{\text{V}_1}{\text{T}_1}$ = $\frac{\text{V}_2}{\text{T}_2}$

Substituting in the formula,

$\frac{2}{300}$ = $\frac{\text{V}_2}{273}$

V2 = $\frac{2}{300}$ x 273 = 1.82 L

As, 22.4 L of carbon dioxide is obtained using 100 g CaCO3

(f) 1 mole of chlorine gas has volume 22.4 dm3

∴ 0.02 mole will have volume $\frac{22.4}{1}$ x 0.02 = 0.448 dm3

(g) 1 mole MnO2 requires 4 moles of HCl

∴ 0.02 mole MnO2 will require $\frac{4}{1}$ x 0.02 = 0.08 mole

(e) Mass of 1 mole of HCl = 36.5 g

∴ Mass of 0.08 mole = 0.08 × 36.5 = 2.92 g

11Exercise 5D

Nitrogen and hydrogen react to form ammonia.

N2 (g) + 3H2 (g) ⟶ 2NH3 (g)

If 1000 g of H2 react with 2000 g of N2:

(a) Will any of the two reactants remain unreacted? If yes, which one and what will be its mass?

(b) Calculate the mass of ammonia (NH3) that will be formed.

$$\begin{matrix} \text{N}_2 & + & 3\text{H}_2& \longrightarrow & 2\text{NH}_3 \\ 2(14) && 6(1) & & 2[14 + 3(1)] \\ 28 \text{g} & & 6 \text{g} & & 34 \text{ g} \\ \end{matrix}$$

(a) 28 g of nitrogen requires 6 g of hydrogen

∴ 2000 g of nitrogen requires $\frac{6}{28}$ x 2000

= 428.57 g of hydrogen.

So mass of hydrogen left unreacted = 1000 - 428.57 = 571.42 g

571.42 g of hydrogen is left unreacted.

(b) 28 g of nitrogen forms 34 g NH3

∴ 2000 g of nitrogen forms $\frac{34}{28}$ x 2000

= 2428.57 g of NH3
