Part-a
Question 1.

From the given examples, form the pair of isotopes and the pair of isobars:
18Ar4017Cl3520Ca4017Cl37


Answer:

● Isotopes are the atoms of same chemical element having different


atomic mass. This means they differ in neutron number. For ex- 17Cl35 and 17Cl37. Here both atoms are chlorine atoms and have atomic number 17. So, each atom has 17 electrons and 17 protons. But the former one has atomic mass 35 and the latter one has atomic mass 37. This implies that former one has 18 neutrons (35-17) and latter one has 20 neutrons (37-17). Hence, they are isotopes.


● Isobars are the atoms of different elements having same atomic mass.


This implies that the sum of protons and neutrons in each atom is same. For ex- 18Ar40 and 20Ca40. Here, the former one is argon atom and latter one is calcium. Their atomic numbers are different. But their atomic mass is same i.e. 40. This implies that the number of nucleons in both atoms is same, even though the proton, electron and neutron numbers are different.



Question 2.

Molecular mass of Nitrogen is 28. Its atomic mass is 14. Find the atomicity of Nitrogen.


Answer:

Atomicity is the number of atoms in the molecule of an element. Molecular mass is calculated by adding up the masses of respective atoms present in the molecule. Nitrogen molecule contains only nitrogen atoms. Given -


Mass of molecule of nitrogen = 28


Mass of atom of nitrogen = 14


Let number of atoms in the molecule = x


So,




Hence, the atomicity of nitrogen is 2. 2 atoms of nitrogen make one


molecule of nitrogen.



Question 3.

Gram molecular mass of Oxygen is 32 g. Density of Oxygen is 1.429 g/litre. Find the gram molar volume of Oxygen.


Answer:

Given - Gram molecular mass of Oxygen = 32 g


Density of Oxygen = 1.429 g/litre


Gram molar volume of Oxygen = ?


Formula used is -





Question 4.

‘Cl’ represents Chlorine atom, ‘Cl2’ represents Chlorine molecule.

List out any two differences between atoms and molecules.


Answer:


Note –


Atoms combine to form molecules.




Question 5.

Calculate the gram molecular mass of water from the values of gram atomic mass of Hydrogen and of Oxygen.

Gram atomic mass of Hydrogen = 1 g

Gram atomic mass of Oxygen = 16 g


Answer:

If the molecular mass of a given substance is expressed in grams, it is known as gram molecular mass of that substance. Molecular mass is the sum of the atomic masses of all the atoms present in one molecule of the substance.


One molecule of water is H2O, which contains 2 hydrogen and one oxygen atoms. So, molecular mass is sum of atomic masses of hydrogen and oxygen atoms.






Gram molecular mass of water is 18g.


Question 6.

One mole of any substance contains 6.023 x 1023particles.
If 3.0115 x 1023 particles are present in CO2, find the number of moles.


Answer:

Number of particles in one mole of any substance is 6.023 x 1023





Note:


1. If a compound or molecular substance is taken, like CO2, N2 etc, then 1


mole of the substance contains Avogadro number of molecules. 1 mole contains the mass equal to molecular weight of substance.


2. If a element is taken like C, S, Fe, then 1 mole contains Avogadro


number of atoms. 1 mole contains the mass equal to atomic weight of substance.


Question 7.

_________ have equal number of neutrons.

i) Isobars ii) Isotones

iii) Isotopes iv) Mass Numbers


Answer:

isotones

These are the atoms of different elements with same number of neutrons. Example : 6C13 and 7N14


Number of neutrons is obtained by subtracting atomic number from atomic mass number.


Number of neutrons in 6C13 is (13-6) 7.


Number of neutrons in 7N14 is (14-7) 7.


● Isobars are the atoms of different elements having same mass number but different atomic numbers.


● Isotopes are the atoms of same element with same atomic number but


different mass number.


● Mass numbers is the sum of protons and neutrons.


Question 8.

Classify the following based on atomicity:

i) Chlorine ii) Neon

iii) Phosphorous iv) Ozone


Answer:

● chlorine is diatomic because its molecule contains 2 atoms of chlorine. Cl2

● neon is monoatomic because its molecule contains 1 atom of neon. Ne


● Phosphorous is polyatomic because its molecule contains 4 atoms of


phosphorous. If a molecule contains more than 3 atoms in its molecule its polyatomic. P4


● ozone is triatomic because its molecule contains 3 atoms of oxygen. O3

Part-b
Question 1.

Modern atomic theory takes up the wave concept, principle of uncertainty and other latest discoveries to give a clear-cut picture about an atom. State the findings of modern atomic theory.


Answer:

● An atom is the smallest particle which takes part in chemical reaction.


● An atom is considered to be a divisible particle.


● The atoms of the same element may not be similar in all respects.


ex: Isotopes (17Cl3517Cl37 )


● The atoms of different elements may be similar in some respects.


ex. Isobars ( 18Ar40 , 20Ca40 )


● The ratio of atoms in a molecule may be fixed and integral but may not be simple. Ex.C12H22O11 is not a simple ratio. (Sucrose)


● The atoms of one element can be changed into the atoms of another element by transmutation.


● The mass of an atom can be converted into energy. This is in accordance with Einstein’s equation E = mc2 where E = energy, m = mass and c = velocity of light



Question 2.

How will you establish the relation between vapour density and molecular mass of a gas by applying Avogadro’s law?


Answer:

Relative Molecular Mass: It is defined as the ratio of the mass of 1 molecule of the gas or vapour to the mass of 1 atom of hydrogen.



Vapour Density (V.D): It is defined as the ratio of the mass of a certain volume of the gas or vapour to the mass of the same volume of hydrogen at the same temperature and pressure.



Applying Avogadro’s Law,



Since hydrogen is diatomic,




2 x V.D = relative molecular mass of a gas or vapour


2 x Vapour density = Relative molecular mass



Question 3.

Calculate the number of moles in:
i) 12.046 x 1023 atoms of Copper

ii) 27.95g of Iron

iii) 1.51 x 1023molecules of CO2


Answer:

we know that to find the number of moles, the following formulae are used:






(i) Using formula 3,



So, 2 moles of copper contain 12.046 x 1023 atoms of copper.


(ii) Using formula 1,



So, 0.5 moles consist of 27.95 grams of iron.


(iii) Using formula 4,



So, 0.25 moles of CO2 consists of 1.51 x 1023 molecules.


Note:


1. If a compound or molecular substance is taken, like CO2, N2 etc, then 1


a mole of the substance contains Avogadro number of molecules. 1 mole contains the mass equal to the molecular weight of the substance.


2. If an element is taken like C, S, Fe, then 1 mole contains Avogadro


number of atoms. 1 mole contains the mass equal to the atomic weight of the substance.


Question 4.

Find the gram molecular mass of the following from the data given:

i) H2O ii) CO2 iii) NaOH iv) NO2 v) H2SO4



Answer:

Molecular mass is the sum of the atomic masses of all the atoms present in one molecule of the substance.

1. H2O = (1gX2) + 16g = 18g


2. CO2 = 12g + (2 x16g) = 12 + 32 = 44g


3. NaOH = 23g + 16g + 1g = 40g


4. NO2 = 14 + (2 x 16) = 46g


5. H2SO4 = (1gx2) + 32g + (4x16g) = 98g

a mole of the substance contains Avogadro number of molecules. 1 mole contains the mass equal to the molecular weight of the substance.


2. If an element is taken like C, S, Fe, then 1 mole contains Avogadro


number of atoms. 1 mole contains the mass equal to the atomic weight of the substance.


So, 1 mole of Ca is 40 grams, 1 mole of O atom is 16 grams and 1 mole of C is 12 grams of C. 1 mole of CaO is 56 grams (40+16) of CaO and 1 mole of CaCO3 is 100 grams ( 40+12+48).



Question 8.

How many grams are there in:

i) 5 moles of water

ii) 2 moles of Ammonia

iii) 2 moles of Glucose


Answer:

we know that in the case of compounds –




Molecular mass of water (H2O) = (2 + 16 ) = 18 grams


Molecular mass of ammonia (NH3) = ( 14+3) = 17 grams


Molecular mass of glucose ( C6H12O6) = ( 72 + 12+ 96) = 180 grams


Applying the above formula to all 3 cases-


(i) Mass = 5 x 18 = 90 grams


(ii) Mass = 2 x 17 = 34 grams


(iii) Mass = 2 x 180 = 360 grams

Answer:

(i) 3 moles


(ii) 53.5 grams (14 + 4 + 35.5)


(iii) Ammonia ( 2 moles will be remaining )


(iv) NH3 + HCl  NH4Cl


Explanation -1 mole of any gas at STP occupies 22.4 litres of volume. So, 1 mole of ammonia occupies 22.4 litres of volume. 67.2 litres (22.4 x 3) of volume is 3 moles of ammonia. 22.4 litres of HCl is 1 mole of HCl. According to reaction ,1 mole of ammonia reacts with 1 mole of HCl to form 1 mole of NH4Cl, which comes out as white fumes.


NH3 + HCl  NH4Cl


Even though 3 moles of ammonia is present in bulb, only one 1 mole undergoes reaction with 1 mole of HCl. The other 2 moles of ammonia remain unreacted.

1. How many moles does the equation show for i) Nitroglycerine ii) gas molecules produced?

2. How many moles of gas molecules are obtained from 1 mole of nitroglycerine?

3. What is the mass of 1 mole of nitroglycerine?


Answer:

1. 4 moles of nitroglycerine ; CO2 (12) + N2(6) + O2(1) = 19 moles of


gas molecules are formed.


2. 4 moles of nitroglycerine gives 19 moles of gas molecules. So, 1 mole


of nitroglycerine gives (19/4) 4.75 moles of gas molecules.


3. Gram molecular mass of nitroglycerine is 1 mole of nitroglycerine.


So, mass of 1 mole of nitroglycerine is 227 grams.


[(3x12)C + (5x1)H + (3x14)N + (9x16)O]

Answer:

(i) 16 grams of O


(ii) 1 mole of oxygen atoms


(iii) 1 mole


(iv) 714.38 grams.


56 grams of CaO gives 40 grams of Ca. 1000 grams of CaO gives (1000x40)/56 = 714.28 grams of calcium


Explanation –


CaO  Ca + O


56 40 16


1 mole of any compound (or gas in molecular form) contains the mass equal to its gram molecular mass. 1 mole of any element contains the mass equal to its gram atomic mass. So,


1 mole of CaO = 40 + 16 = 56 grams


1 mole of Ca = 40 grams


1 mole of oxygen atoms = 16 grams


1 mole of calcium oxide dissociates to form 1 mole of Ca and 1 mole of O atoms.
