Explanation:

1 mol of sucrose $(C 12 H _22 O 11)$ contains $=11 \times NA$ atoms of oxygen, where $NA=6.023 \times 10^{23}$

$0.01 mol$ of sucrose $(C 12 H _22 O 11)$ contains $=0.01 \times 11 \times NA$ atoms of oxygen

$=0.11 \times NA$ atoms of oxygen

$=18 g /(1 \times 2+16) gmol-1$

$=18 g / 18 gmol-1$

$=1 mol$

$1 mol$ of water $(H _2O)$ contains $1 \times NA$ atom of oxygen

Total number of oxygen atoms $=$

Number of oxygen atoms from sucrose + Number of oxygen atoms from water

19. What is the fraction of the mass of water due to neutrons?

Show Answer

Answer

Mass of 1 mole of a substance is equal to its relative atomic or molecular mass in grams.

Mass of one mole (Avogadro Number) of neutrons $=1 g$

Mass of one neutron $=1$ / Avogadro number(NA) $g$

Mass of one molecule of water $=$ Molar mass $/ NA=18 / NA g$ calculated by multiplying the atomic weight of hydrogen (1.008) by two and adding the result to the weight for one oxygen (15.999)

Mass of one molecule of water $=$ Molar mass $/ NA=18 / NA g$

Avogadro number $(NA)=6.022 \times 1023 mol^{-} 1$

There are 8 neutrons in one atom of oxygen

Number of neutrons in oxygen= number of oxygen - Atomic number of oxygen

Oxygen’s atomic weight $=15.9994$

increases with an increase in temperature.

Therefore the mass is 16

Therefore number of neutrons $=16-8=8$

Mass of one neutron $=1$ / Avogadro number(NA) $g$

Mass of 8 neutrons $=8 /$ Avogadro number(NA) $g$

Fraction of mass of water due to neutrons $=8 / 18 g$

20. Does the solubility of a substance change with temperature? Explain with the help of an example.

Show Answer

Answer

Solubility is the ability of a solute to get dissolved in $100 g$ solvent. Solubility of a given solute to dissolve in specific solvent depends on the temperature. With Increase in temperature solubility of liquids and solids increase. In the same way solubility of gases decreases with increase in temperature.

Ex: Sugar dissolves faster in hot water than in cold water.

22. You are provided with a fine white coloured powder which is either sugar or salt. How would you identify it without tasting?

To examine if the fine white coloured powder is sugar pr salt we can conduct two experiments.

Show Answer

Answer

1. Heating: Upon heating sugar melts to liquid form because sucrose has a decomposition point and melting point at temperatures between 190 to 192 degrees Celsius. This will turn sugar to light brown colour. Upon heat further sugar gets charred to black colour.

Salt has a melting point of 841 degrees Celsius and 1545.8 degrees Fahrenheit. If we don’t heat it to that point nothing change is observed.

2. Electric conductivity:

If we dissolve the given substance in water we can check for electric conductivity to check whether the substance is sugar or salt. If it is salt it conducts electricity. Because salt $(NaCl)$ has positive sodium ions and negative chloride ions hence salt conducts electricity. But sugar don’t conduct electricity as sugar has only positive ions.

Answer

No. of moles of atoms $=$ weight $/$ atomic weight.

For $N_2$

$100 gms$ of $N_2=100 / 2 \times 14$ moles $=100 / 28$ moles

Number of molecules $=100 / 28 \times 6.022 \times 10^{23}$

Molar mass of $N_2=2 x$ molar mass of monoatomic $N$

Molar mass of $N_2=2 \times 14.0067=28$ moles.

Number of molecules $=100 / 28 \times 6.022 \times 10^{23}$

No. of atoms $=2 \times 100 / 28 \times 6.022 \times 10^{23}=43.01 \times 10^{23}$

For $NH_3$ $100 gm$ of $NH_3=$

100/17 moles

Number of molecules

$=100 / 17 x$

$6.022 \times 10^{23}$ molecules

No. of atoms in $NH_3=(1+3)=4 \times 100 / 17 \times 6.022 \times 10^{23}=$

$141.69 \times 10^{23}$ atoms.

Therefore, $NH_3$ has more atoms than $N_2$.

$ =2.77 \times 10^{21} $

40. What are ionic and molecular compounds? Give examples.

Show Answer

Answer

While forming some compounds, atoms gain or lose electrons, and form electrically charged particles called ions. Compounds that are formed by the attraction of cations and anions are called as ionic compounds.

Ex. 2 $ Na+Cl _2 \to 2 Na+Cl \rightarrow 2 NaCl$ (sodium chloride- common salt.)

Sodium is a group 1 metal, thus forms a +1 charged cation. Chlorine is a non-metal, and has the ability to form a 1 charged anion.

Compounds formed due to bonding of uncharged ions are called as molecular compounds and the bonding between them is called covalent bonding. Molecular compounds are formed by sharing of electrons between the two atoms and the elements are held together by covalent bonds.

Ex: $2 C+O _2 \to 2 CO$ ( Carbon monoxide)

41. Compute the difference in masses of one mole each of aluminium atoms and one mole of its ions. (Mass of an electron is $9.1 \times 10-28 g$ ). Which one is heavier?

Show Answer

Answer

Mass of one mole of Aluminium atom $=\{13 \times$ mass of each electron $+13 \times$ mass of each proton $+14 \times$ mass of each neutron $\} \times$ Avogadro’s constant.

We know, if atoms convert into ions, only transfer of electrons takes place, in $Al+3$ ion, Aluminium atom loss three electrons,

So,

Mass of $Al+3=\{10 \times$ mass of each electron $+13 \times$ mass of each proton $+14 \times$ mass of each neutron $\}$ Avogadro’s constant

Now,

You see mass of aluminium atom is greater than aluminium ion by 3 electrons

Difference in mass $=$ Mass of Aluminium atom -mass of aluminium ion

$=3 \times$ mass of each electron $x$ Avogadro’s constant .

$=3 \times 9.1 \times 10^{-28} \times 6.023 \times 10^{23}$

$=27.3 \times 10^{-28} \times 6.023 \times 10^{23} g$

$=164.4 \times 10^{-5} g$

$=1.644 \times 10^{-3} g$

$=0.0016 g$

42. A silver ornament of mass ’ $m$ ’ gram is polished with gold equivalent to $1 \%$ of the mass of silver.

Compute the ratio of the number of atoms of gold and silver in the ornament.

Show Answer

Answer

Mass of silver $=m g$

Mass of gold $=m / 100 g$

Number of atoms of silver $=$ Mass/ Atomic mass X NA

$=m / 108 NA$ Number of atoms of gold

$=m / 100 X 197$

Ratio of number of atoms of gold to silver $=Au: Ag$

$=m / 100 X 197 X NA: m / 108$ NA

$=108: 100 \times 197$

$=108: 19700=$

$1: 182.41$

43. A sample of ethane $(C _2 H _6)$ gas has the same mass as $1.5 \times 1020$ molecules of methane $(CH _4)$. How many C2H6 molecules does the sample of gas contain?

Show Answer

Answer

$6.02 \times 10^{23}$ molecules of methane $=1$ mole

Hence $1.5 \times 10^{20}$ molecules of methane $=(1.5 \times 10^{20} \times 1) \div(6.02 \times 10^{23})$ moles

$ =2.49 \times 10^{-4} \text{ moles } $

Molar mass of Methane $(CH_4)=12+1 x 4=16 g$

Mass of methane $=$ molar mass $\times$ no. of moles $=16 \times 2.49 \times 10^{-4}=3.984 \times 10^{-3} g$ (This is the same mass as Ethane)

Ethane $(C _2 H _6)=12 \times 2+1 \times 6=30$

If $30 g$ of Ethane has $6.02 \times 10^{23}$ molecules

So $3.984 \times 10^{-3} g=(3.984 \times 10^{-3} \times 6.02 \times 10^{23}) \div 30$

$=8 \times 10^{19}$ molecules of Ethane

48. In photosynthesis, 6 molecules of carbon dioxide combine with an equal number of water molecules through a complex series of reactions to give a molecule of glucose having a molecular formula $C_6 H _{12} O _6$. How many grams of water would be required to produce $18 g$ of glucose? Compute the volume of water so consumed assuming the density of water to be $1 g cm^{-3}$.

Show Answer

Answer

$6 CO _2+6 H _2$ O Chlorophyll /Sunlight $ \text{ arrow } C _6 H _{12} O _6+6 O _2$

1 mole of glucose needs 6 moles of water $180 g$ of glucose needs $(6 \times 18) g$ of water $1 g$ of glucose will need 108/ $180 g$ of water.

$18 g$ of glucose would need $(108 / 180) \times 18 g$ of water $=10.8 g$

Volume of water used $=\dfrac{\text{ Mass }}{\text{Density}}$

$=10.8 g / 1 g cm-3$

$=10.8 cm 3$
