Question 11. The chemical formula of sodium carbonate is:
  1.    NaCO2  
  2.    NaCO3  
  3.    Na2CO3  
  4.    Na3CO2  
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Na2CO3  
:
C
The constituent ions present insodium carbonate areNa+andCO32
Symbol: Na CO3
Charge: +1 -2
To balance the charges, we cross multiplythe valencies andget the chemical formulaof sodium carbonate asNa2CO3.
Question 12. Name the international organization which approves names of the elements:
  1.    IUPAC
  2.    ISPAC
  3.    IPAUC
  4.    UIPAC
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> IUPAC
:
A
International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry(IUPAC) is an international organization which takes up the responsibility of approving names of elements, units and symbols. Elements are usually named after the scientist, or the minerals where its extracted from or a place to name a few.
Question 13. Which of the following represents the chemical formula of calcium carbonate?
  1.    CaCO3
  2.    Ca2CO3​
  3.    Ca(CO3)2
  4.    Ca3CO2​
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> CaCO3
:
A
Calcium carbonate consist of calcium ion and carbonate ion, i.e.,Ca2+and CO32, which have a charge of +2 and -2 respectively.
SymbolCaCO3Charge+2-2
On cross-multiplication and balancing the charge, we get the formula as CaCO3.
Question 14. Chemical formula of a compound is determined on the basis of __________ of its constituents.
  1.    number of neutrons
  2.    valency
  3.    atomic mass
  4.    atomic size
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> valency
:
B
The number of atoms combining to form the molecule of a compound is determined by the valency of its constituent atoms or ions.
Valency isdetermined bythe number of electrons an atom can accept, donate or share.
Question 15. 1 u or 1 amu (atomic mass unit) is equal to ___.
  1.    (116)th of the mass of an atom of oxygen.
  2.    (112)th of the mass of one atom of carbon 12.
  3.    12 carbon atoms.
  4.    16 oxygen atoms.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> (112)th of the mass of one atom of carbon 12.
:
B
Carbon -12 isotope is used as the standard reference for measuring atomic masses.
1 atomic mass unit is a mass unit equal to exactly(112)ththe mass of one atom of carbon 12.

It is expressed as u or amu.
Question 16. What is the mass of 4.82 x 1025  molecules of H2O in grams?
  1.    1440 g
  2.    1280 g
  3.    160 g
  4.    1600 g
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 1440 g
:
A
Number of moles of water =Total number of moleculesAvogadro constant=4.82×10256.022×1023=80
Therefore, mass of water= Number of moles×Molecular Mass
=80×18=1440.71 g
Question 17. Water is a _______ molecule.
  1.    tetra-atomic
  2.    monoatomic
  3.    triatomic
  4.    diatomic
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> triatomic
:
C

  • Atomicity is defined as the number of atoms present in a single molecule.

  • One molecule of water (H2O) contains two atomsof hydrogen and one atom of oxygen.

  • This means a water molecule contains three atoms in total.

  • Hence, the atomicity of water is three i.e. water is triatomic.

Question 18. Which amongst the following gases can be classified as compound?
  1.    Hydrogen chloride
  2.    Oxygen
  3.    Nitrogen
  4.    Chlorine
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Hydrogen chloride
:
A
Compounds are made up of two or more kinds of atoms, chemically combined, in a definite ratio. Here, hydrogen chloride (HCl) is formed by chemical combination of hydrogen and chlorine in the ratio 1:1, hence it is a compound.
Elements are made up of only one kind of atoms. Since, oxygen (O2), nitrogen(N2) and chlorine(Cl2) are made of only one type of atoms i.e., oxygen, nitrogen and chlorine respectively, hence they are classified as elements.
Question 19. Find the number of hydrogen atoms in 9.033×1023 molecules of water.
  1.    18.066×1023
  2.    9.033×1023
  3.    4.52×1023
  4.    6.022×1023
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 18.066×1023
:
A
The chemical formula of water is H2O.
One molecule of water has 2 hydrogen atoms.
9.033×1023 molecules of water will have 2×9.033×1023=18.066×1023 atoms of hydrogen.
Question 20. Which of the following is the chemical symbol for iron?
  1.    I
  2.    Fe
  3.    Zn
  4.    Na
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Fe
:
B
Fe is the chemical symbol for iron, I is the chemical symbol for iodine,Zn is the chemical symbol for zinc and Na is the chemical symbol for sodium.
