Question 1. The mass ratio of carbon to hydrogen in methane is 3:1. How much amount of hydrogen is required to react with 36 g of carbon to form methane? 
  1.    10 g
  2.    12 g
  3.    16 g
  4.    30 g
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 12 g
:
B
The chemical formula of methane is CH4.The carbon to hydrogen mass ratio in it is 3:1.
3 gof carbon requires one gram of hydrogen.
So,36 gof carbon requires
=363×1=12g of hydrogen
Question 2. In a chemical reaction, atoms can be created or destroyed.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    16 g
  4.    30 g
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B
Law of conservation of mass states that mass can neither be created nor be destroyed in a chemical reaction. In a chemical reaction, physical and chemical properties of matter can be altered but the total massof the matter remains the same.
Since an atom is the basic unit of mass, atoms can neither be created nor be destroyed.
Question 3. What is the mass percentage of hydrogen in the H2O molecule?
  1.    5.55%
  2.    11.11%
  3.    33.33%
  4.    22.22%
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 11.11%
:
B
Let us consider 1 molecule of H2O
Mass of hydrogen in 1 molecule of H2O= 2g
Mass of oxygen in 1 molecule of H2O = 16g
Therefore, total mass of 1 molecule of H2O = 2+16 = 18g
Now percentage of hydrogen is given by:
=Mass of hydrogen in 1 molecule ofH2OTotal mass of 1 molecule ofH2O
=218×100=11.11%
Question 4. What is the mass of one atom of neon if its gram atomic mass is 20 grams?
  1.    2.65×10−23 grams
  2.    3.32×10−23 grams
  3.    5.32×10−23 grams
  4.    4.32×10−23 grams
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 3.32×10−23 grams
:
B
1 mole of an element contains 6.022×1023 atoms.
1 mole of acompound contains6.022×1023 molecules.
Neon is monoatomic in nature.
It is given that the gram atomic mass of Neon is 20 g
So, 6.022×1023 atoms of Neon weigh = 20 grams
The massof one atom
= 206.022×1023
= 3.32×1023 g
Question 5. What does the abbreviation amu stand for?
  1.    Atomic molecular unit
  2.    Atomic mass unit
  3.    Atomic mole unit
  4.    Atomic measuring unit
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Atomic mass unit
:
B
According to IUPAC recommendations, mass of the atom is expressed as atomic mass unit (amu) or unified atomic mass unit (u). 1 amu is defined asone-twelth the mass of a carbon-12 atom.
Question 6. What do you understand by Mole? If 8.4 g X element includes 9.03×1022 atoms and 0.1 mol X2Y3 compound is 16g, find atomic mass of Y element. (Avogadro number is 6.02×1023)      [5 MARKS]

Onemoleis defined as the amount of substance containing as many elementary entities (atoms, molecules, ions, electrons, radicals, etc.) as there are atoms in 12 grams of carbon-12. The number of particles that is atoms, ions and molecules present in one mole of a substance is fixed with a value of 6.02×1023 molecules.
Mole of X element is ;
nx=(9.03×1023×(6.02×1023)=0.15mol
Atomic mass of X;
Ax=8.40.15=56g/mol
Molar mass of X2Y3 compound;
MX2Y3=160.1=160g/mol
We find atomic mass of Y by;
2.X + 3Y =160
2.(56) + 3(Y)=160
Y=16g/mol is atomic mass of Y.
Question 7. What is atomic mass? How is amu expressed?  [2 MARKS]
 
 Discuss Question

:
Each point: 1 Mark
1. The atomic mass is the mass of an atom of a chemical element expressed in atomic mass units. It is equivalent to number of protons and neutrons in the atom.
2. 1 unifiedatomic massunit is defined as 112 of themassof a single carbon-12atom.
Question 8. Find the formula of ammonium sulphate.   [3 MARKS]
 Discuss Question

:
Each point: 1 Mark
1. Charge on ammonium(NH4+) is +1
2. Charge on sulphate(SO42) is -2
3. By cross over charges to balance charges
(NH4)2SO4.
Question 9. Define atomicity. What will be the atomicity of ozone and ammonia?  [2 MARKS]
 
 Discuss Question

:
Each point: 1 Mark
1. Atomicity is the total number of atoms present in one molecule of an element or a substance.
2. a. The chemical compound ozone is composed of 3 oxygen atoms. Therefore atomicity is three.
b. The chemical formula of ammonia is NH3 in which there are3 Hydrogen atoms and 1 Nitrogen atom.Therefore the atomicity is four.
Question 10. Find the chemical formula of carbon tetrachloride.   [3 MARKS]
 Discuss Question

:
Concept : 1 Mark
Process : 1 Mark
Result : 1 Mark
Carbon and chlorine will combine in such a manner that their valencies should get satisfied.
Valency of Carbon = 4
Valency of Chlorine = 1
To satisfy the valency of Carbon, 4 chlorine atoms each having a valency of 1 would be required. Hence, the formula is CCl4
