1.

Define relative atomic mass.

Answer»

On the basis of carbon, the relative atomic mass of element is defined as the ratio of mass of one atom of the element to the mass of l/12th mass of one atom of Carbon – 12.

Relative atomic mass = (Mass of one atom of the element) / (Mass of 1/12th mass of one atom of Carnon - 12)

Answer»

(a) relative atomic mass is 12 u

4.

0.456 g of a metal gives 0.606 g of its chloride. Calculate the equivalent mass of the metal.

Answer»

Mass of the metal = W1 = 0.456 g. 

Mass of the metal chloride = W2 = 0.606 g. 

∴Mass of chlorine = W2 – W1 = 0.606 – 0.456 = 0.15 g 

0.15 g of chlorine combine with 0.456 g of metal. 

∴ 35.46 g of chlorine will combine with 0.456/0.15 x 35.46 = 107.79 g eq-1

5.

Which contains the greatest number of moles of oxygen atoms? 1. 1 mol of ethanol 2. 1 mol of formic acid 3. 1 mol of H2O

Answer»

1. 1 mol of ethanol 

C2H5OH (ethanol) – Molar mass

 = 24 + 6 + 16 

= 46 

46 g of ethanol contains 1 × 6.023 × 1023 number of oxygen atoms.

2. 1 mol of formic acid. 

HCOOH (formic acid) – Molar mass 

= 2+12 + 32 

= 46 

46 g of HCOOH contains 2 × 6.023 × 1023 number of oxygen atoms.

3. 1 mol of H2

H2O (water) – Molar mass 

= 2 + 16 

= 18 

18 g of water contains 1 × 6.023 × 1023 number of oxygen atoms. 

∴ 1 mole of formic acid contains the greatest number of oxygen atoms.

6.

Calculate the equivalent mass of potassium dichromate. The reduction half – reaction in acid medium is – Cr2O2- + 14H+ + 6e- → 2Cr3+ + 7H2O

Answer»

Cr2O2- + 14H+ + 6e- → 2Cr3+ + 7H2O

Equivalent mass = (Molar mass) / (No. of electrons gained)

Molar mass of K2Cr2 O7 = 294.18 

∴ Equivalent mass of K2Cr2O7 = 294.18/6 = 49.03

7.

Answer»

(d) 200 u

\(=\frac{(200\times90)+(199\times8)+(202\times2)}{100}\)

= 199.96

= 200 u 

8.

Answer»

(c) 55.55

1 Liter of water = 1000 g. 

Molar mass of water 18 g 

Number of moles = Mass/ (Molar mass) 

= 1000/18

= 55.55 moles

9.

11.

Carbon forms two oxides, namely carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. The equivalent mass of which element remains constant? (a) Carbon (b) Oxygen (c) Both carbon and oxygen (d) Neither carbon nor oxygen

Answer»

The correct answer is: (b) Oxygen

Reaction 1:

2 C + O2 → 2 CO2 

2 × 12 g carbon combines with 32 g of oxygen. 

Hence, Equivalent mass of carbon = (2 x 12)/32 × 8 = 6

Reaction 2: C + O2 → 2 CO2 

12 g carbon combines with 32 g of oxygen. 

Hence, Equivalent mass of carbon = 12/32 × 8 = 3

12.

What is the difference between molecular mass and molar mass? Calculate the molecular mass and molar mass for carbon monoxide.

Answer»

Molecular mass:

\(\bullet\)  Relative molecular mass is defined as the ratio of the mass of the molecule to the unified atomic mass unit. 

 \(\bullet\)  It can be calculated by adding the relative atomic masses of its constituent atoms. 

 \(\bullet\)  For carbon monoxide (CO) Molecular mass = (Atomic mass of carbon) + (Atomic mass of oxygen) = 12 + 16 ⇒ 28 u.

Molar mass:

 \(\bullet\)  It is defined as the mass of one mole of a substance.

 \(\bullet\)  The molar mass of a compound is equal to the sum of the relative atomic masses of its constituent expressed in g mol-1

 \(\bullet\)  For carbon monoxide (CO) 12 + 16 = 28 g mol-1 Both molecular mass and molar mass are numerically same but the units are different

15.

Calculate the molar volume of 146 g of HCl gas and the number of molecules present in it.

Answer»

Molar mass of HCl = 36.5 g 

The molar volume of 36.5 g (1 mole) of HCl = 2.24 x 10m3

∴ The volume of 146 g (4 moles) of HCl = \(\frac{2.24\times10^{-2}}{36.5}\) x 146 

= 8.96 x 10 m3 

No. of molecules in 146 g of HCl = 4 N 

= 4 x (Avogadro Number) 

= 4 x 6.023 x 1023 

= 24.092 x 1023 

= 2.4092 x 1024 molecules.

16.

The molar volume of 22 g of CO2 is …(a) 2.24 x 10-2 m3 (b) 4.48 x 10-2 m3  (c) 1.12 x 10-2 m3  (d) 2.24 x 10-2 m3 

Answer»

(c) 1.12 x 10-2 m3  

CO2 = Molar’mass of 12 + 32 = 44 g 

44 g of CO2 occupies molar volume = 2.24 x 10-2 m3 

∴ 2g of CO2 will occupy = (2.24 x 10-2)/ 44 x 2

= 1.12 x 10-2 L

17.

Calculate the mass of the following atoms in amu, (a) Helium (mass of He = 6.641 x 10-24 g) (b) Silver (mass of Ag = 1.790 x 10-22 g) 1 amu = 1.66056 x 10-24

Answer»

(a) The mass of Helium atom in amu = \(\frac{6.641\times10^{-24}}{1.66056\times10^{-24}}\) = 3.9992 amu.

(b) The mass of Silver atom in amu = \(\frac{1.790\times10^{-22}}{1.66056\times10^{-24}}\) = 107.79 amu.

18.

Calculate the number of atoms present in 1 Kg of gold.

Answer»

The atomic mass of Gold = 197 g mol-1

197 g of gold contains 6.023 x 1023 atoms of gold. 

∴ 1000 g of gold will contain = \(\frac{1000\times6.023\times10^{23}}{197}\) = 3.055 x 1024 atoms of Gold.

19.

The volume of HCl gas weighing 73 g at STP is ……(a) 2.24 x 10-2m3 (b) 4.48 x 10-2m3  (c) 4.48 x 10-2m3  (d) 2.24 x 10-2m3 

Answer»

(b) 4.48 x 10-2m3  

HCl = Molar mass = 1 + 35.5 = 36.5 g 

36.5 g of HCl occupies 2.24 x 10-2 m3 

∴ 73 g of HCl at STP will occupy (2.24 x 10-2)/36.5  x 73 

= 4.48 x 10-2 m3

How is message passing done in OOP? Explain briefly.

Answer»

Message passing is nothing but sending and receiving of information by the objects, similar to people exchanging information. In OOPs, message passing involves specifying the name of objects, the name of the function, and the information to be sent.
 

The following are the basic steps in message passing.

  • Creating classes that define objects and their behaviour.
  • Creating objects from class definitions.
  • Establishing communication among objects.
46.

State the advantages of object-oriented programming.

Answer»

Some of the advantages of object-oriented programming are as follows:

a.  A clear modular structure can be obtained which can be used as a prototype and it will not reveal the details of the design.

b.  Easy maintenance and modifications to the existing objects can be done with ease.

c.  A good framework is provided which facilitates creating rich GUI applications.

47.

Briefly explain about polymorphism.

Answer»

Polymorphism is the ability of an object to take more than one form in different instances. For example, one function name can be used for different purposes. Similarly, the same operator can be used for different operations. There are two types of polymorphism namely “compile-time polymorphism” and “run-time polymorphism”.

48.

Explain about inheritance in OOPS?

Answer»

Inheritance is the process of creating a new class, called derived class from an existing or base class. The derived class inherits all the capabilities of the base class. Using inheritance some qualities of the base class are added to the newly derived class, apart from its own features. Inheritance permits code reusability.

49.

Bring out the differences between structured programming and object-oriented programming languages.

Answer»

The differences between Structured Programming language and Object-Oriented Programming language are:
1. Structured Programming Language:

  • It follows a top-down approach in program design.
  • Data and Functions are not coupled with each other.
  • Large programs are divided into smaller self-contained program segments known as functions.
  • Data moves openly around the system from function to function.
  • Functions are dependent so reusability is not possible.

2. Object-Oriented Programming Language:

  • It follows a bottom-up approach in program design.
  • Functions and data are coupled together.
  • Programs are divided into entities called Objects.
  • Data is hidden and cannot be accessed from outside that class.
  • Functions are not dependent so reusability is possible.
50.

Write a note on polymorphism and dynamic binding.

Answer»

Polymorphism:

In object-oriented programming, polymorphism is a generic term that means ‘many shapes’, (from the Greek meaning “having multiple forms”). Polymorphism is briefly described as “one interface, many implementations.” There are two types of polymorphism one is compile-time polymorphism and the other is run time polymorphism.
For example, consider the operation of addition.

  • If the operands are strings, then the operation would produce a third-string by concatenation.
  • If the operands are numbers, it will generate a sum by dynamic binding.
  • It refers to the linking of a procedure call to the code to be executed in response to the call.
  • Dynamic binding means, that the code associated with a given procedure call is not known until the time of the call at run time.
  • It is associated with polymorphism and inheritance.
