1.1 Calculate the molar mass of the following: 
(i) H₂O (ii) CO (iii) CH₄

Answer.
(i) 1u x 2 + 16u = 18u = 18 g/mol

(ii) 12u + 16u x 2 = 44u = 44 g/mol

(iii) 12u + 1u x 4 = 16u = 16 g/mol


1.2 Calculate the mass per cent of different elements present in sodium sulphate (NaSO).

Answer. Different elements present in NaSO are- sodium, sulphur, and oxygen.

Mass % of an element = mass of that element in the compound ➗ molar mass of the compound 100

Molar mass of NaSO = 23 x 2 + 32 + 16 x 4 = 142 g/mol

∴ Mass % of sodium = (23 x 2) ÷ 142 x 100 = 32.4%
Mass % of sulphur = 32 ÷ 142 x 100 = 22.5%
Mass % of oxygen = (16 x 4) ÷ 142 x 100 = 45%

1.3 Determine the empirical formula of an oxide of iron, which has 69.9% iron and 30.1% dioxygen by mass.

Answer. 

Elements 

Atomic mass

% composition or mass of each element

Number of moles of each element

Divide each with the smallest value

Convert to a simple whole number

 Fe

56

69.9% =69.9g




69.9 ÷ 56 = 1.25

1.25 ÷ 1.25 = 1

1 x 2 =2

 O

16

30.1% =30.1g




30.1 ÷ 16 = 1.88

1.88 ÷ 1.25 =1.5

1.5 x 2 =3


The empirical formula is - FeO

1.4 Calculate the amount of carbon dioxide that could be produced when
(i) 1 mole of carbon is burnt in air.
(ii) 1 mole of carbon is burnt in 16 g of dioxygen.
(iii) 2 moles of carbon are burnt in 16 g of dioxygen.

Answer. (i) C + O ⟶ CO
It can be seen from the above reaction that 1mole carbon reacts with 1mole of oxygen to form 1mole carbon-di-oxide.

Number of moles of CO₂ (n) = Mass of CO ➗ Molar mass of CO
n=1mole, molar mass of CO = 44g/mol, mass of CO we have to calculate = ❓
1mole = Mass of CO₂ produced ÷ 44g/mol
Mass or amount of CO₂ produced = 44g
 
(ii) C + O (16g) ⟶ CO
number of moles of oxygen = Mass of O₂ ➗ Molar mass of O
n = 16g ÷ 32g/mol
n = 0.5mol

So, this means that only 0.5mole of C will react with 0.5moles of O₂ to form 0.5mole of CO. Here, 0.5mole of CO₂ will be wasted as there is not enough oxygen. 
0.5mole = Mass of CO₂ produced ÷ 44g/mol
Mass or amount of CO₂ produced = 22g

Extra info- In this case, oxygen is the limiting agent as it limits the amount of COproduced. Despite the presence of enough carbon the amount of COproduced is low.

(iii) C (2mole) + O (16g) ⟶ CO
The amount of available oxygen is only 16g (0.5mole) and will behave as a limiting agent. Thus, it does not matter how much the amount of carbon is increased, as only 0.5mole of carbon can react in this case because oxygen is only 0.5mole.
Thus, Mass or amount of CO₂ produced = 22g

1.5 Calculate the mass of sodium acetate (CHCOONa) required to make 500 mL of 0.375 molar aqueous solution. Molar mass of sodium acetate is 82.0245 g/mol.

Answer. Molarity = No. of moles of solute Volume of solution in litres

No. of moles of solute = Mass ÷ Molar mass
Mass we have to calculate = ❓
Given, Molar mass = 82.0245g/mol
Molarity = 0.375M
Volume of solution = 500ml = 0.5L

Thus, 0.375 = Mass/ 82.0245/ 0.5
Mass = 15.379 = 15.38g

1.6 Calculate the concentration of nitric acid in moles per litre in a sample which has a density, 1.41 g/ml and the mass per cent of nitric acid in it being 69%.

Answer. Mass % of nitric acid = 69%
Density of solution = 1.41g/ml
Concentration or Molarity of nitric acid = ?
Molarity = No. of moles of solute ➗ Volume of solution in litres

Mass of nitric acid = 69g
Mass of solution = 100g 

Density = Mass of solution ÷ Volume of solution
1.41g/ml = 100 ÷ Volume of solution
Volume of solution = 100g ÷ 1.41g/ml
                                 = 70.92 ml = 0.07092 L

Number of moles of nitric acid = Mass ÷ Molar mass
                 = 69g ÷ 63g/mol 
         = 1.095 mol
Molarity = 1.095 mol ÷ 0.07092 L 
              = 15.55 mol/L

1.7 How much copper can be obtained from 100 g of copper sulphate (CuSO)?

Answer. Molar mass of CuSO₄ = 63.5 + 32 + 16x4 = 159.5g
As, 159.5g of CuSO₄ contains = 63.5g of Cu

∴ The amount of copper from 100g CuSO₄ will be
63.5 x 100/ 159.5 = 39.81g

1.8 Determine the molecular formula of an oxide of iron, in which the mass per cent of iron and oxygen are 69.9 and 30.1, respectively. Given that molecular mass is 159.69g.

Answer.

Elements 

Atomic mass

% composition or mass of each element

Number of moles of each element

Divide each with the smallest value                     

Convert to a simple whole number

 Fe

56

69.9% =69.9g




69.9 ÷ 56 = 1.25

1.25 ÷ 1.25 = 1

1 x 2 =2

 O

16

30.1% =30.1g




30.1 ÷ 16 = 1.88

1.88 ÷ 1.25 =1.5

1.5 x 2 =3


The empirical formula is - FeO

n = Molecular formula mass ÷ Emperical formula mass
(Where n can be any integer)

Emperical formula mass = 2 x 55.85 + 3 x 16 = 159.7g
n = 159.69 ÷ 159.7 
n = 0.999 = 1

Molecular formula is calculated by multiplying n with Emperical formula.
Molecular formula = Emperical formula x n

∴ Molecular formula = FeO₃ x 1 = FeO

1.9 Calculate the atomic mass (average) of chlorine using the following data:
%         Natural Abundance         Molar Mass
³⁵Cl                 75.77                         34.9689
³⁷Cl                 24.23                         36.9659

Answer. (75.77 ÷ 100 x 34.9689)  (24.23 ÷ 100 x 36.9659)
                = 35.4527u

1.10 In three moles of ethane (C₂H₆), calculate the following:
(i) Number of moles of carbon atoms.
(ii) Number of moles of hydrogen atoms.
(iii) Number of molecules of ethane.

Answer. 3 moles of ethane = 3 C₂H₆
(i) Number of moles of carbon atoms = 3 x 2 = 6mol

(ii) Number of moles of hydrogen atoms = 3 x 6 = 18mol

(iii) 1 mole = 6.022 x 10²³ molecules
So, total molecules in 3 moles of ethane = 3 x 6.022 x 10²³
                                    = 18.069 x 10²³ molecules

1.11 What is the concentration of sugar (C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁) in mol/L if its 20 g are dissolved in enough water to make a final volume up to 2L?

Answer. 
Molarity = No. of moles of solute ➗ Volume of solution in litres

No. of moles of solute = Mass/ Molar mass
= 20/12x12 + 22x1 + 11x16
= 20/342 = 0.0585 mol

Molarity or concentration of sugar = 0.0585 mol/ 2L 
                                                    = 0.02925 mol/L

1.12 If the density of methanol is 0.793 kg/L, what is its volume needed for making 2.5 L of its 0.25 M solution?

Answer. Density of methanol is given = 0.793 kg/L
That means, 0.793 kg of methanol is dissolved in 1L 

Mass of methanol = 0.793 kg = 793g
The molar mass of methanol (CH₃OH) = 32g/mol

No. of moles of methanol = 793/ 32 = 24.78mol
Molarity = No. of moles of solute ➗ Volume of solution in litres

Molarity = 24.78mol/1L = 24.78mol/L

Using, M₁V₁ = M₂V₂
24.78 x V₁ = 0.25  x 2.5
V= 0.0252 L = 25.2 ml

Volume of methanol needed for making 2.5 L of its 0.25 M solution will be = 25.2 ml

1.13 Pressure is determined as force per unit area of the surface. The SI unit of pressure, pascal is as shown below: 
1Pa = 1N/m²
If mass of air at sea level is 1034 g/cm², calculate the pressure in pascal.

Answer. Pressure = Force/Area = m x g/Area 

Pressure = 1034g x 9.8 m/s² / 1cm²
Pressure = 1.034kg x 9.8 m/s² / 0.0001m²
Pressure = 101332 kg/m/s²   -----------(eq.1)

We know 1N = 1kgm/s² 
1Pa = 1N/m² (Given)

So, 1Pa = 1kgm/s²/m² (Putting 1N = kgm/s²)
1Pa = 1kg/m/s²---------------(eq.2)

Putting eq.2 in eq.1, we get
Pressure = 101332 Pa

1.14 What is the SI unit of mass? How is it defined?

1.15 Match the following prefixes with their multiples:
Prefixes         Multiples
(i) micro         10
(ii) deca          10
(iii) mega        1/10
(iv) giga          1/10¹⁵
(v) femto        10

Answer.
(i) micro         1/10⁶
(ii) deca           10
(iii) mega        10⁶
(iv) giga          10⁹
(v) femto        1/10¹⁵

1.16 What do you mean by significant figures?

Answer. Significant figures are those meaningful digits that are known with certainty. They indicate uncertainty in an experiment or calculated value. For example, if 22.6 mL is the result of an experiment, then 22 is certain while 6 is uncertain, and the total number of significant figures are 3. 
Hence, significant figures are defined as the total number of digits in a number including the last digit that represents the uncertainty of the result. 

1.17 A sample of drinking water was found to be severely contaminated with chloroform, CHCl3, supposed to be carcinogenic in nature. The level of contamination was 15
ppm (by mass).
(i) Express this in per cent by mass.
(ii) Determine the molality of chloroform in the water sample

Answer. (i)
1 ppm is equivalent to 1 part out of 1 million parts.

Mass % of 15 ppm chloroform in water = (15/ 106) x(100)

= 1.5 x 10-3 %

(ii) That means 100 g of sample contains 1.5 x 10-3 g of CHCl3.

1000 g of the sample contains 1.5 x 10-2 g of CHCl3.

Molality = No. of moles of solute ➗ Mass of solvent in Kg

Mass of solvent = 1kg

No. of moles of solute = Mass/Molar mass of  CHCl3

Molar mass of CHCl3 = 12 + 1 + 3 x 35.3 = 119.5 g/mol

Molality of CHCl3 in water = (1.5 x 10-2)/119.5/1kg

Molality of chloroform in water = 0.0125 x 10-2 m 

                                                = 1.25 x 10-4 m

1.21 The following data are obtained when dinitrogen and dioxygen react together to form different compounds:
Mass of dinitrogen     Mass of dioxygen
(i) 14 g                                 16 g
(ii) 14 g                                 32 g
(iii) 28 g                                 32 g
(iv) 28 g                                 80 g

(a) Which law of chemical combination is obeyed by the above experimental data? Give its statement.

(b) Fill in the blanks in the following conversions:
(i) 1 km = .............mm = ............pm
(ii) 1 mg = .............kg = ...............ng
(iii) 1 mL = ............L = .................dm3

Answer.
Mass of dinitrogen     Mass of dioxygen
(i) 14 g x 2= 28g           16 gx 2= 32 g
(ii) 14 g x 2= 28g          32 gx 2= 64 g
(iii) 28 g                                       32 g
(iv) 28 g                                      80 g

(a) Law of multiple proportions. If we fix the mass of dinitrogen to 28 g then masses of dioxygen that will combine with the fixed mass of dinitrogen are 32 g, 64 g, 32 g and 80 g. 

Thus, when different masses of one element (dioxygen) combines with the fixed mass of another element (dinitrogen), then the masses of dioxygen bear a whole number ratio of 1:2:2:5 within themselves.

(b) 
(i) 1 Km = 106 mm = 1015 pm 

(ii) 1 mg = 10-6 kg = 106 ng 

(iii) 1 mL = 10-3 L = 10-3 dm3
