Oxygen contains 90% O16 and 10% O18. Its atomic mass is [KCET 1998]

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

Average atomic mass of oxygen =90  ×  16  +  10  ×  18100=16.20  

KClO3 on heating decomposes to KCl and O2. The volume of O2 at STP liberated by 0.1 mole KClO3 is

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

On heating KClO3 dissociates as:

2KClO3  Δ2KCl+3O2

2 moles 3 × 22.4 L at STP

2 moles of KClO3 on heating produces = 67. 2 L of O2 at STP

0.1 mole of KClO3on heating produces = 67.22  ×  0.1L = 3.36 L of O2 at STP

At S.T.P. the density of CCl4 vapour in g/L will be nearest to [CBSE PMT 1988]

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

1 mole of CCl4 vapour = 12 + 4 × 35.5 = 154 gm = 22.4 L at S.T.P.

∴ Density =15422.4gmL1=6.875gmL1  

1 c.c of N2O at NTP contains : [CBSE PMT 1988]

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

22400 c.c. = 6.02 × 1023 molecules

1 c.c. of N2O=6.02×102322400 molecules

=3×6.02×102322400 atoms (Since N2O has three atoms)

=6.02×102322400×22 electron (Because number of electrons in N2O are 22) 

The mass of carbon present in 0.5 mole of K4[Fe(CN)6] is

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

1 mole of K4[Fe(CN)6] =6 gm atoms of carbon

0.5 mole of K4[Fe(CN)6] = 3 gm atoms of carbon

= 3 × 12 = 36 g

The number of moles of BaCO3 which contains 1.5 moles of oxygen atoms is [EAMCET 1991]

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

∵ 1 mole of BaCO3contains 3 moles of oxygen atoms.

12 mole (0.5) of BaCO3 contains 1.5 moles of oxygen atoms.

The oxide of a metal contains 40% by mass of oxygen. The percentage of chlorine in the chloride of the metal is [BIT Ranchi 1997]

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

% of oxygen = 8m+8  ×  100  =  40 or, 40(m+8)=800 or, m + 8 = 20or, m = 12

∴ % of chlorine = 35.5m+35.5×100 = 35.512+35.5×100 = 74.7(Where m is the atomic mass of metal) 

The empirical formula of an organic compound containing carbon and hydrogen is CH2. The mass of one litre of this organic gas is exactly equal to that of one litre of N2. Therefore, the molecular formula of the organic gas is [EAMCET 1985]

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

Molar mass of 1L of gas = mass of 1L N2

∴ Molecular masses will be equal i.e., molecular mass of the gas = 28, hence formula is C2H4

A sample of pure compound is found to have Na = 0.0887 mole, O = 0.132 mole, C = 2.65 × 1022 atoms.

The empirical formula of the compound is [CPMT 1997]

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

∵ 6.02 × 1023 atoms of C = 1 mole of C

∴ 2.65 × 1022 atoms of C = 1×2.65×10226.02  ×1023 mole = 2.656.02×10=0.044 mole

Now,

Element Relative number of moles Simplest ratio of moles
Na 0.0887 0.08870.044=2
O 0.132 0.1320.044=3
C 0.044 0.0440.044=1

Thus, the empirical formula of the compound is Na2CO3.

An organic compound containing C, H and N gave the following on analysis: C = 40%, H = 13.3% and N = 46.67%. Its empirical formula would be [CBSE PMT 1999, 2002]

Nitrogen N 46.67 14 46.6714=3.33 3.333.3=1 1

Thus, the empirical formula is CH4N.
