Answer the following questions:
1. If the elemental composition of an acid is found to be 54.2% C , 9.2% H and 36.6% O
Determine its empirical formula. If the molecular mass was 88u .What is the molecular
formula.
2. A measured temperature on Fahrenheit scale is 200 0F. What will this reading be on Celsius
scale?
3. 0.29 gm of a hydrocarbon with vapour density 29 when burnt completely in oxygen produce
448 ml of carbon dioxide at STP. From the given information ,calculate the
(a) mass of carbon dioxide formed.
(b) Mass of element carbon in carbondioxide.
(c) Mass of hydrogen in hydrocarbon
(d) Empirical formula of hydrocarbon
(e) Molecular formula of hydrocarbon
4. Nitrogen occurs in nature in the form of two isotopes with atomic mass 14 and 15
respectively. If the average atomic mass of nitrogen is 14.0067, What is the % abundance of
two isotopes?
5. If the concentration of glucose in blood is 0.9g/L, what will be the molarity of glucose in
blood?
6. Hydrogen is generated by the action of steam on heated magnesium .Calculate the mass of
magnesium which will produce just sufficient hydrogen to combine with all the oxygen that
can be obtained by the complete decomposition of 24.5 g of KClO3.
7. What is the molality of ammonia in a solution containing 0.85g of NH3 in 100 cc of a liquid
of density 0.85g/cc.
8. What will be the mass of one atom of C-12 in grams?
9. 45.4L of dinitrogen reacted with 22.7L of dioxygen and 45.4L of nitrous oxide was formed.
The reaction is given below:
2N2(g)+O2(g) 2NO2(g)
Which law is being obeyed in this experiment? Write the statement of the law.
10. The reactant which is entirely consumed in reaction is known as limiting reagent.
In the reaction2A+4B 3C+4D, when 5 moles of A react with 6moles of B, then:
which is the limiting reagent?
(b) calculate the amount of C formed.
11. If 20g of CaCO3 is treated with 20g of HCl, how many grams of CO 2 can be generated
according to the following equation?
CaCO3(s)+ 2HCl(aq) CaCl2(aq)+H2O+CO2(g)
12. Calculate the number of grams of MgCl 2 that could be obtained from 17g HCl in following
reaction:
MgO+2HCl MgCl2+H2O
