∴ 15 litre at STP contains molecules
(b) 22.4 litre at STP contains = 6.023×1023 molecule of N2
∴ 5 litre at STP contains molecules
(c) 2 gm of  H= 6.023×1023 molecules of  H2
∴ 0.5 gm of H2 contains molecules
(d) Similarly, 10 g of O2 gasmolecules

In this reaction oxygen is the limiting agent.
Hence amount of H2O produced depends on the amount of O2 taken 0.5 mole of O2 gives H2O = 1 mol
∴ 2 mole of O2 gives H2O = 4 mol

Kaavya Joshi answered
Given:
Mass of PbO = 6.5 g
Mass of HCl = 3.2 g

To find:
Moles of PbCl2 formed

Solution:
1. Write the balanced chemical equation for the reaction:
PbO + 2HCl → PbCl2 + H2O

2. Calculate the moles of PbO:
Molar mass of PbO = 207.2 g/mol
Number of moles of PbO = Mass/Molar mass = 6.5/207.2 = 0.0314 mol

3. Calculate the moles of HCl:
Molar mass of HCl = 36.5 g/mol
Number of moles of HCl = Mass/Molar mass = 3.2/36.5 = 0.0877 mol

4. Identify the limiting reagent:
From the balanced equation, 1 mole of PbO reacts with 2 moles of HCl to produce 1 mole of PbCl2. Therefore, the limiting reagent is PbO since it produces fewer moles of the product.

5. Calculate the moles of PbCl2 formed:
Number of moles of PbCl2 = Number of moles of limiting reagent × Ratio of moles of PbCl2 to moles of limiting reagent
Number of moles of PbCl2 = 0.0314 mol × 1 mol PbCl2/1 mol PbO = 0.0314 mol

Answer:
The number of moles of PbCl2 formed is 0.029 mol, which is closest to option (d) 0.029.

    0.40 M
  • b)
    0.0050 M
  • c)
    0.12 M
  • d)
    0.10 M
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Shanaya Rane answered
No. of milli equivalent of HCl = 20 × 0.05          
= 1.0
No. of milli equivalent of Br (OH)2   = 30 × 0.1 × 2 = 6.0
After neutralization, no. of milli equivalents in 50 ml. of solution = (6 – 1) = 5
Total volume of the solution = 20 + 30 = 50 ml
∴ No. of milli equivalent of OHis 5 in 50 ml

What is the weight of oxygen required for the complete combustion of 2.8 kg of ethylene?
  • a)
    2.8 kg
  • b)
    6.4 kg 
  • c)
    9.6 kg
  • d)
    96 kg
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

C2H4 + 3 O2 —→ 2CO2 + 2H2O 28 kg    96 kg
∵ 28 kg of C2H4 undergo complete combustion  by = 96 kg of O2
∴ 2.8 kg of C2H4 undergo complete combustion by = 9.6 g of O2.

A metal oxide has the formula Z2O3. It can be reduced by hydrogen to give free metal and water. 0.1596 g of the metal oxide requires 6 mg of hydrogen for complete reduction. The atomic weight of the metal is [1989]

    27.9
  • b)
    159.6
  • c)
    79.8
  • d)
    55.8
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Shounak Nair answered
The reactioin may given as
Z2 O3 + 3H2 —→ 2Z + 3H2O
0.1596 g of Z2O3 react with H2
= 6 mg = 0.006 g
∴ 1 g of H2 react with
26.6g of Z2O3
∴ Eq. wt. of Z2O3 = 26.6 (from the elefinition of eq. wt.) Eq. wt. of Z + Eq. wt. of O = E + 8 = 26.6
⇒  Eq. wt. of Z = 26.6 – 8 = 18.6 Valency of metal in Z2O3 = 3
Eq. wt.of metal 
∴ At. wt. of Z = 18.6 × 3 = 55.8

What volume of oxygen gas  (O2) measured at 0°C and 1 atm, is needed to burn completely 1L of propane gas (C3H8) measured under the same conditions ? [2008]

  • b)
    6 L
  • c)
    5 L
  • d)

Srishti Sen answered
Writing the equation of  combustion of propane (C3H8), we get
From the above equation we find that we need 5 L of oxygen at NTP to completely burn 1 L of propane at N.T.P.
If we change the conditions for both the gases from N.T.P. to same conditions of temperature and pressure. The same results are obtained. i.e. 5 L is the correct answer.

Anoushka Yadav answered
To determine the empirical formula of the organic compound containing carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and nitrogen (N), we need to calculate the simplest ratio of the elements present in the compound.

1. Calculate the number of moles of each element:
Given:
C = 40%
H = 13.33%
N = 46.67%

Assume we have a 100g sample of the compound:
Mass of C = 40g (40% of 100g)
Mass of H = 13.33g (13.33% of 100g)
Mass of N = 46.67g (46.67% of 100g)

To calculate the number of moles of each element, we use the molar mass of each element:
The molar mass of C is 12.01 g/mol
The molar mass of H is 1.01 g/mol
The molar mass of N is 14.01 g/mol

Number of moles of C = Mass of C / Molar mass of C = 40g / 12.01 g/mol ≈ 3.33 mol
Number of moles of H = Mass of H / Molar mass of H = 13.33g / 1.01 g/mol ≈ 13.20 mol
Number of moles of N = Mass of N / Molar mass of N = 46.67g / 14.01 g/mol ≈ 3.33 mol

2. Determine the simplest whole number ratio of the elements:
Divide the number of moles of each element by the smallest number of moles to obtain the simplest whole number ratio.

Dividing all the moles by 3.33 (the smallest number of moles), we get:
C ≈ 3.33 mol / 3.33 mol = 1
H ≈ 13.20 mol / 3.33 mol ≈ 3.96 ≈ 4
N ≈ 3.33 mol / 3.33 mol = 1

The simplest whole number ratio of C, H, and N is 1:4:1.

3. Write the empirical formula:
The empirical formula represents the simplest whole number ratio of the elements. Therefore, the empirical formula of the organic compound is CH4N, which is option C.

The molecular weight of O2 and SO2 are 32 and 64 respectively. At 15°C and 150 mm Hg pressure, one litre of O2 contains ‘N’ molecules. The number of molecules in two litres of SO2 under the same conditions of temperature and pressure will be : [1990]
  • a)
    N/2
  • b)
    N
  • c)
    2N
  • d)
    4N
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Mahesh Saini answered
A ccording to Avogadro's law "equal volumes of all gases contain equal numbers of molecules under similar conditions of temperature and pressure". Thus if 1 L of one gas contains N molecules, 2 L of any gas under the same conditions will contain 2N molecules.

Specific volume of cylindrical virus particle is 6.02 × 10–2 cc/gm. whose radius and length 7 Å & 10 Å respectively. If NA = 6.02 × 1023, find molecular weight of virus [2001]
  • a)
    3.08 × 103 kg/mol
  • b)
    3.08 × 104 kg/mol
  • c)
    1.54 × 104 kg/mol
  • d)
    15.4 kg/mol
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Kajal Bose answered
Specific volume (volume of 1 gm) of cylindrical virus particle = 6.02 × 10–2 cc/gm
Radius of virus (r) = 7 Å = 7 × 10–8 cm
Length of virus = 10 × 10–8 cm
Volume of virus
= 154 × 10–23 cc
Wt. of one virus particle
∴ Mol. wt. of virus = Wt. of NA particle
= 15400 g/mol = 15.4 kg/mole

Ratio of Cp and Cv of a gas ‘X’ is 1.4. The number of atoms of the gas ‘X’ present in 11.2 litres of it at NTP will be [1989]

    1.2 × 1023
  • c)
    3.01 × 1023
  • d)

Cp / Cv = 1.4 shows that the gas is diatomic. 22.4 litre at NTP ≡ 6.02 × 1023 molecules 11.2 L at NTP = 3.01 × 1023 molecules
= 3.01 × 1023 × 2 atoms = 6.02 × 1023 atoms

The number of significant figures for the three numbers 161 cm, 0.161 cm, 0.0161 cm are[1998]
  • a)
    3,4 and 5 respectively

    3,4 and 4 respectively
  • c)
    3,3 and 4 respectively
  • d)

Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

We know that all non -zero digits are significant and the zeros at the beginning of a number are not significant. Therefore number 161 cm, 0.161 cm and 0.0161cm have 3, 3 and 3 significant figures respectively.
