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 |

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 |

|
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.

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”).
