Earlier the concept of equivalent weight was very common and the concentrations of the solutions were expressed in terms of normolities. The convenience was that the substances reacted in the ratio of their gram equivalents. So there was no need for writing the balanced equations to determine the amounts of the substances reacted. However, determination of equivalent weights posed difficulty in certain cases. Moreover, the equivalent weight of the same substance is not same in different reactions. For example, `KMnO_(4)` has different equivalent weight in the basic medium than in teh acidic medium. Hence, now-a-days, mole concept is more common and the concentrations of the solutions are generally expressed in terms of molarities, though some other methods like molality, molarity, mole fractions etc. are also used The molality of the above solution will be nearlyA. `15.3 m`B. `16.3 m`C. `17.3 m`D. `18.3 m`

Under S.T.P. 1 mol of `N_(2)` and 3 mol of `H_(2)` will form on complete reactionA. 4 moles of `NH_(3)`B. 89.6 L of `NH_(3)`C. 22.4 L of `NH_(3)`D. 44.8 L of `NH_(3)`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
`underset(1mol)(N_(2))+underset(3mol)(3H_(2))tounderset(2mol)(2NH_(3))`
1 mol of `N_(2)` reacts with 3 moles of `H_(2)` to give 2 moles of `NH_(3)` which occupies a volume
`= 2xx22.4 = 44.8 L` at S.T.P.

`100 mL` of phosphine `(PH_(3))` on hearing forms phosphorous `(P)` and hydrogen `(H_(2))`. The volume change in the reaction isA. an increase of 50 mLB. an increase of 110 mLC. an increase of 150 mLD. a decrease of 50 mL

Answer» Correct Answer - A
`underset(100mL)underset(2mL)(2PH_(3))(g)to2P(s)+underset(150mL)underset(3mL)(3H_(2))(g)`
`:.` 100 mL of `PH_(3)` gives `H_(2)=150mL`
Increase in volume `=150-100=50mL`

100 mL of `PH_(3)` on decomposition produced phosphorus and hydrogen. The change in volume isA. 50 mL increaseB. 500 ml decreaseC. 900 mL decreaseD. nil

Answer» Correct Answer - A
`underset(2vol)(2PH_(3))tounderset(3vol)(3H_(2))+2P`
2 vol of `PH_(3)` give 3 vol of `H_(2)`
`:.` 100 mL of `PH_(3)` gives 150 mL of `H_(2)`
`:.` Increases in volume = 150 mL - 100 mL
= 50 mL

The decomposition of a certain mass of `CaCO_(3)` gave `11.2 dm^(3)` of a `CO_(2)` at S.T.P. The mass of KOH required to completely neutralize the gas isA. `56 g`B. `28g`C. `42g`D. `20g`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
`underset(112g)underset(2(39+16+1))(2KOH)+underset("at S.T.P.")underset(22.4 L)(CO_(2))toK_(2)CO_(3)+H_(2)O`
`22.4 dm^(3)` of `CO_(2)` at N.T.P. required KOH = 112 g
`11.2 dm^(3)` of `CO_(2)` at S.T.P. will require KOH = 56 g

What mass of `CaCO_(3)` is required to react completely with 25 ml of `0.75 MHCI`?A. `0.94 g`B. `9.4 g`C. `0.094 g`D. `0.49 g`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
`CaCO_(3) + 2HCl to CaCl_(2) + CO_(2) + H_(2)`
25 mL of 0.75 M HCl
`= (25)/(1000)Lxx(0.75 mol L^(-1))`
`= 0.01875 mol`
Moles of `CaCO_(3)` required `= ("Moles of HCl")/(2)`
`= (0.01875)/(2) = 9.375xx10^(-3) mol`
Mass of `CaCO_(3)` required
`= 9.375xx10^(-3) molxx100gmol^(-1)`
`= 0.9375g = 0.94g`

A hydrocarbon contains `10.5 g` of carbon per gram of hydrogen. `1 L` of vapour of the hydrocarbon at `127^(@)C` and 1 atm pressure weighs `2.8 g`. Find the molecular formula of the hydrocarbon.A. `C_(6)H_(14)`B. `C_(5)H_(10)`C. `C_(6)H_(12)`D. `C_(7)H_(8)`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
Using the general gas equation `: pV = nRT`, we have
`1xx 1 = (2.8)/m xx 0.0821 xx 400 `
Hence, molar mmass `= 91.95`
Atomic ratio `H = 1/1, C= 10.5/12 = 0.875 `
Lest whole number ratios:
H = 8 and C = 7 (`0. 875` multiplied by 8 gives 7 as
whole figure)
Hence, empirical formula `= C_(7)H_(8)`
Empirical formula weight = 92
Molar mass and empirical formula mass being the same, the molecular formula is `C_(7) H_(8)
