    3. 1/12th of the mass of H-atom
    4. 1/12th of the mass of C12-atom

Answer ) 1/12th of the mass of C12-atom

Brief Explanation :

1 a.m.u = 1.66 x 10-24 g

Mass of 6.023 x 1023 C12 atoms = 12 g

Mass of one C12 atom = 12 x 1 /6.023 x 1023

                                        = 1.9927 x 10-23 g

We have one atomic mass unit is 1/12th of the mass of C12 atoms

1 amu    = 1 /12 x mass of C12 atom

1 amu    = 1 /12 x 1.9927 x 10-23 g

               = 1.66 x 10-24g

    4. 32 / NA g

Answer ) 32 / NA g

Brief Explanation :

Mass of NA (6.023 x 1023) O2 – molecules = 32g

Mass of one O2 – molecule = 32/NA g


  • Number of atoms in 64 a. m. u. of SO2 is
    1. 3
    2. 64
    3. 3 x NA
    4. 64 x NA

  • A balanced chemical equation may not obey
    1. Law of conservation of mass
    2. Law of conservation of volume
    3. Law of constant composition
    4. All of these

Answer ) Law of conservation of volume

Brief Explanation :

In a balanced chemical equation, each compound has definite composition with correct chemical formula. The total mass of reactants is always equal to total mass of products in balanced equation. However, volumes of reactants and products may not be equal. Thus balanced equation obeys the law of conservation of mass and law of definite proportion but may or may not obey the law of conservation of volume.


  • The limiting reactant in a chemical reaction is
    1. Is used up earlier and completely
    2. Controls the yield of reaction
    3. Gives the least amount of product
    4. All of these

Answer ) All of these

Brief Explanation :

A limiting reactant in a chemical reaction is always used up earlier, gives the least amount of product and controls the yield of reaction. It is present in lesser amount than the required stoichiometric amount.


  • When equal moles of the reactant react together, the limiting reactant is
  1. K2Cr2O7
  2. HCl
  3. Cl2
  4. None

Answer ) HCl

Brief Explanation :

K2Cr2O7 + 14 HCl to form 3Cl2 + other products. Let’s one mole of each reactant takes part in a chemical reaction.

One mole of K2Cr2O7 = 3 mole Cl2

Similarly, 14 moles of HCl = 3 mole Cl2

1 mole of HCl = 3/14 mole of Cl2

As 1 mole of HCl produces the least amount of Cl2 product so HCl is a limiting reactant.


  • A yield of reaction that is independent of their reaction conditions is

1.Percent

2.Actual

3.Theoretical

4.All of them

Answer )

Brief Explanation : Theoretical

A theoretical yield of reaction is independent of the reaction conditions because it involves no practical work


  • The yield of reaction is becomes 100% when
    1. Actual yield < Theoretical yield
    2. Actual yield > Theoretical yield
    3. Actual yield ≤ Theoretical yield
    4. Actual yield  = Theoretical yield

Answer ) Actual yield  = Theoretical yield

Brief Explanation :

The yield of reaction is  become 100% when actual yield equal to theoretical yield of reaction


  • Actual yield is always lesser than theoretical yield due to
    1. Lack of optimum reaction conditions
    2. Mechanical loss of reactants and / or products
    3. Reversibility of reaction
    4. All of these

Answer ) All of these

Brief Explanation :

Actual yield is always lesser than theoretical yield due to one or more reason like not availability of reagent and the most suitable reaction conditions; loss of reactants / products during experimental work, reversibility of reaction of by-products formation etc.



  • Mass of Cl-1 ions in a sample of AlCl3 that contains 6.023 x 1023 Al+3 ions
    1. 3
    2. 3 x 1021
    3. 6.023 x 1023 / 3
    4. 3 x 6.023 x 1023

Answer ) 3

Brief Explanation :

From the formula AlCl3 we have

1 Al+3 ions = 3Cl-1 ion

6.023 x 1023 Al+3ion = 3 x 6.023 x 1023 Cl-1 ion

                                         = 3 mole of Cl-1 ion


  • The simplest ration b/w atoms (Pb:O) of a binary compound of oxygen containing 90.66% lead 82Pb207, is
    1. 1:1
    2. 1:2
    3. 3:4
    4. 9:1

Answer ) 3:4

Brief Explanation :

We have that

Lead (Pb) = 90.66% = 90.66/207 mol = 0.4379 mol

Oxygen (O2) = 100 – 90.66 = 9.34% = 9.34/16 mol = 0.5838 mol

Relative number of atoms of Pb = 0.4379/0.4379 = 1

Relative number of atoms of Oxygen = 0.5838/0.4379 = 1.333

To change number of atoms into whole number, multiplying both the values with 3 i.e.

Atoms of Pb = 1 x 3 = 3

Atoms of Oxygen = 1.333 x 3 = 3.999 ~ 4 Hence the simple ration between Pb and Oxygen is (3:4)


  • When 60cm3 each of H2 and O2 reacts together, the theoretical decrease in volume of the reacting gasses will be
    1. 120 cm3
    2. 90 cm3
    3. 60 cm3
    4. 30 cm3

Answer )

Brief Explanation : 90 cm3

From the balanced equation  2H2 +O2 to form 2H2O ,

 We have that 2cm3 of H2 reacts with = 1 cm3 of O2

60 cm3 of H2 reacts with = 60/2 = 30 cm3 of O2

Total volume of reacting gases = 60+60= 120 cm3

Volume of gases used = 60 cm3 of H2 + 30 cm3 of O2 = 90 cm3


  • Moles of fluorine required to reach with 0.6 mole of metal M to form46.8 grams of MF2
    1. 0.12 mole
    2. 1.00 mole
    3. 1.20 mole
    4. 2.00 mole

Answer )

Brief Explanation : 1.20 mole

  • From the formula  MF2 we have that

1 mole of metal M reacts with = 2 mole Fluorine

 0.6 mole of metal M will reacts with= 2 x 0.6 = 1.2 mole of Fluorine
