Samridhi Kaur answered
Molecular mass : The sum of the atomic masses of all the atoms in a molecule of a substance is called the molecular mass of the molecule.
Generally we use relative atomic masses of atoms for calculating the molecular mass of 1 mole of any molecular or ionic substances.
Molecular formula of glucose is C6H12O6
Atomic mass of H = 1
Atomic mass pf C = 12
Atomic mass of O = 16
Molecular mass of C6H12O6 = 12(Atomic mass of Hydrogen) + 6(Atomic mass of carbon) + 6(Atomic mass of oxygen)
= 12 x 1 + 6X12 + 6X16
= 12 + 72 + 96 = 180 u.

The scientific notation for 0.00016 is:​
  • a)
    1.6 Χ 10-4
  • b)
    16 Χ 10-4
  • c)
    1.6 Χ 10-2
  • d)
    1.6 Χ 104
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Arya Dasgupta answered
Here, the decimal has to be moved four places to the right side and hence -4 is the exponent in the scientific notation.

Which law is also known as Law of constant composition?
  • a)
    Law of multiple proportions
  • b)
    Avogadro’s law
  • c)
    Law of conservation of mass
  • d)
    Law of definite proportions
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Pooja Shah answered
The law of definite proportions, also known as the law of constant composition states that all pure samples of the same chemical compound contain the same elements combined in the same proportions by mass.
What this law emphasizes is that, if pure samples of the same chemical substance, wherever they may be found, are analyzed, it will be found that they all consist of the same elements, as well as having these elements combine in the same proportions by mass.
For examples, pure sample of copper(II) oxide is composed of copper and oxygen, in the proportion of 1:1 by mole, or 64 g of copper to 16 g of oxygen or 1 g of copper to 0.25 g of oxygen. 

For the reaction 
224 g of CO is available to react with 400 g Fe2O3, the yield of iron and CO2, are:
  • a)
    225 and 279
  • b)
    280 and 330 g
  • c)
    210 and 290
  • d)
    210 and 279 g
Correct answer is 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Neha Sharma answered
Moles of CO =8 moles Moles of Fe2O3= 2.5 moles.
3 moles of CO is needed for 1 mole of Fe2O3 so 8 moles of CO will require 2.66 mole of Fe2O3 so Fe2O3 is limiting reagent.
1 mole of Fe2O3 produce 2 mole of Fe so 2.5 mole of Fe2O3will produce 5 mole of Fe = 280g of Fe.
Also 1 mole of Fe2O3 also produce 3 mole of CO2 so 2.5 mole of Fe2O3 will produce 7.5 mole of CO2=330g.

    Avogadro
  • b)
    Antoine Lavoisier
  • c)
    John Dalton
  • d)
    Joseph Proust
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Lavanya Menon answered
The Law of Conservation of Mass (or Matter) in a chemical reaction can be stated thus:
In a chemical reaction, matter is neither created nor destroyed.
It was discovered by Antoine Laurent Lavoisier (1743-94) about 1785. However, philosophical speculation and even some quantitative experimentation preceeded him. In addition, he was certainly not the first to accept this law as true or to teach it, but he is credited as its discoverer.

The distinction between atoms and molecules was made by:
  • a)
    Dalton’s atomic theory
  • b)
    Avogadro law
  • c)
    Laws of chemical combination
  • d)
    Gay lussacs law
Correct answer is 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Preeti Iyer answered
Avogadro made the distinction between atoms and molecules, which today seems clear. However, Dalton rejected Avogadro's hypothesis because Dalton believed that atoms of the same kind could not combine. Since it was believed that atoms were held together by an electrical force, only unlike atoms would be attracted together, and like atoms should repel. Therefore it seemed impossible for a molecule of oxygen, O2, to exist. Avogadro's work, even if it was read appears not to have been understood, and was pushed into the dark recesses of chemistry libraries and ignored. Avogadro continued to teach at the university of Turin, when it was not closed because of the political upheavals going on in Italy at the time, and died in 1854, an unknown figure. 

Laws of chemical combinations can be explained on the basis of:
  • a)
    Avogadro law
  • b)
    Gay lussacs law
  • c)
    Dalton’s atomic theory
  • d)
    Mole concept
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Gaurav Kumar answered
The old ideas were put on a scientific scale by John Dalton in the form of a theory, known as Dalton’s atomic theory,
Main postulates of which are as follows :
• All matters are made of atoms. Atoms are indivisible and indestructible.
• All atoms of a given element are identical in mass and properties.
• Atoms of different elements differ in properties and have different masses and sizes.
• Compounds are formed by a combination of two or more different kinds of atoms.
• A chemical reaction is a rearrangement of atoms.These are neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction

What is incorrect about the Law of conservation of mass?
  • a)
    A given compound always conatains exactly the same proportion of elements by weight
  • b)
    Mass of reactants is equal to the mass of products
  • c)
    Matter can neither be created nor destroyed
  • d)
    It was given by Antoine Lavoiser
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Jyoti Kumar answered
The law of definite proportions, also known law of definite composition, states that regardless of the amount, a pure compound always contains the same elements in the same proportions by mass. Law of multiple proportions, also known as Dalton s Law, states that when one element combines with another to form more than one compound, the mass rations of the elements in the compounds are simple whole numbers of each other.

The correct relationship between picometer and nanometer is
  • a)
    1nm = 1000pm
  • b)
    1nm = 10pm
  • c)
    1pm = 10nm
  • d)
    1pm = 100nm
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Neha Joshi answered
1 picometer = 10-12 m
1 nanometer=10-9 m
So, 1 picometer = 0.001 nanometer .
From this we get 1 nanometer= 1000 picometer.
Hence, the correct answer is Option A.

How many atoms of hydrogen are in 67.2 L of H2 at STP?
  • a)
    5.612 × 1024
  • b)
    2.612 × 1024

    4.612 × 1024
  • d)
    3.6132 × 1024 
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Anjana Sharma answered
Standard temperature and pressure (STP) is defined as 0 degrees Celsius and 1 atmosphere of pressure. At STP, 1 mole of any gas occupies 22.4 liters.
First, calculate the number of moles of hydrogen gas (H2) in 67.2 liters:
67.2 L / 22.4 L/mole = 3 moles of H2
Each molecule of H2 contains 2 atoms of hydrogen. Therefore, 3 moles of H2 contains:
3 moles * (6.022 x 10^23 molecules/mole) * 2 atoms/molecule = 3.6132 x 10^24 atoms of hydrogen.

    Joseph Proust
  • c)
    Avogadro
  • d)
    John Dalton

Naina Bansal answered
In chemistry, the law of definite proportion, sometimes called Proust's law or the law of definite composition, or law of constant composition states that a given chemical compound always contains its component elements in fixed ratio (by mass) and does not depend on its source and method of preparation.

Can you explain the answer of this question below:
Law of constant composition does not hold good for:
  • A:
    Endothermic compounds
  • B:
    Non-stoichiometric compounds
  • C:
    Stoichiometric compounds
  • D:
    Exothermic compounds
The answer is b.

Naina Bansal answered
Law of definite proportion is not true for all types of compounds. The law is not valid for non-stoichiometric compounds.These are compounds whose compositions vary from sample to sample.Mainly inorganic compounds come into this class.An example of these types of compound is wustite, which has the formula FeO, but in actual the stoichiometry in this compound is Fe0.95O. This is so because some of the Fe^+2 gets easily oxidised to Fe^+3 and takes place of Fe^+2 in the lattice. To balance the charge 3 Fe^+2 atoms are being replaced by 2 Fe^+3 atoms. Elements having mixture of stable isotopes also form non-stoichiometric compound. Some of the element position in the crystal structure gets replaced by their isotopes and causes difference in actual composition of the crystal. For example , natural carbon, silicon, and germanium show this type of defect.

EduRev JEE answered
Given -
volume of water = 105 mL
density of solution = 0.9 g/mL
Calculation -
Since ammonia dissolved in water is 30% by weight, then using mass % formula, we can calculate the amount of ammonia in water
At 4 degree C, density of water  = 0.999 g/mL
since density = mass /volume
0.999  = mass/ 105 
mass of water = 104.895 g
​now, let mass of ammonia be x.
30x + 3146.85 = 100x
70x = 3146.85
x = 44.955 g
Thus, ammonia dissolved in 105 mL water is 44.955 g
Therefore, total mass of solution = mass of ammonia + mass of water
Mass of solution = 44.955 + 104.895
Mass of solution = 149.85 g
So,density of solution = mass of solution / volume of solution
​0.9 g/mL  = 149.85 g / Volume of solution
Volume of solution = 149.85/ 0.9
Volume of solution = 166.5 mL
