CHAPTER: – 3 (ATOMS AND MOLECULES)

 

INTEXT QUESTIONS 3.1

 

1) Name the scientists who proposed the law of conservation of mass and law of constant proportions.

Ans: – The law of conservation of masses and law of constant property is given by the scientist Lavoisier.

 

2) 12 g of magnesium powder was ignited in a container having 20 g of pure oxygen. After the reaction was over, it was found that 12 g of oxygen was left unreacted. Show that it is according to law of constant proportions.

2Mg + O2 → 2MgO

Ans: – As from the explanation it is clear that the oxygen which is reacted is (20-12=8) 8gm. So we can see that 12gm of Mg is reacting with 8gm of O2 and in MgO also the 24 gm magnesium is reacting with 16 gm of oxygen or in the same ratio.

 

INTEXT QUESTIONS 3.2

 

1) Nitrogen forms three oxides: NO, NO2 and N2O3. Show that it obeys law of multiple proportions.

Ans: – As we know in a multiple property there are always same elements is reacting with a certain ratio in NO, we can see that nitrogen and oxygen are in ratio of 14:16 or 7:8 and in NO2 this ratio is 14:32 or 7:16, in N2O3 the ratio between the nitrogen and oxygen is 28:48 or 7:12. So here we see that all are bonded in a specific ratio.

INTEXT QUESTIONS 3.3

1) Work out a relationship between number of molecules and mole.

2) What is molecular mass? In what way it is different from the molar mass?

Ans: –  The molecular mass and molar mass are different things as we know the molecular mass denotes that sum of total mass of molecules present in it where as the molar mass is the mass of 1 mole of that element.

 

3) Consider the reaction18 g of carbon was burnt in oxygen. How many moles of CO2 is produced?

C (s) + O2 (g) → CO2 (g).

Ans: – The mass of CO2 is 44 gm so, we can say that in the upper reaction the 12g of carbon or 32 gm of oxygen gave the 1 mole of CO2 or 44gm of carbon dioxide. So we clearly see that 18 gm of carbon will gave 1.5 mole of CO2.
