1.In a reaction, 5.3 g of sodium carbonate reacted with 6 g of ethanoic acid. The products were 2.2 g of carbon dioxide, 0.9 g water and 8.2 g of sodium ethanoate. Show that these observations are in agreement with the law of conservation of mass.
Sodium carbonate + ethanoic acid ➝ sodium ethanoate + carbon dioxide + water
Answer:

Sodium carbonate + ethanoic acid ➝ sodium ethanoate + carbon dioxide + water
5.3 + 6 ➝ 8.2 + 2.2 + 0.9
= 11.3 g = 11.3 g
Weight of reactants is equal to weight of products. This observation is in agreement with the law of conservation of mass.

2. Hydrogen and Oxygen combine in the ratio or 1 : 8 by mass to form water. What mass of oxygen gas would be required to react completely with 3 g of hydrogen gas?
Answer:

24 g of oxygen gas would be required to react completely with 3 g of hydrogen gas. Because in water the ratio of the mass of hydrogen to the mass of oxygen is always 1 : 8.

3.Which postulate of Dalton’s atomic theory is the result of the law of conservation of mass?
Answer:

The relative number and kinds of atoms are constant in a given compound. This postulate is the result of the law of conservation of mass.

1.If one mole of carbon atoms weighs 12 gms, what is the mass (in gms) of 1 atom of carbon?
Answer:

Number of moles = n
Given mass = m
molar mass = M
Given the number of particles = N
Avogadro number of particles = N0
i) Atomic mass of carbon = 12u.
Atomic mass of one mole of carbon=12g
But Atomic mass of carbon = 12 g mass of 6.022 × 1023 carbon atoms = 12g.
 

∴ Mass of carbon atoms
= 1.9926 x 10-23 gm.

2.Which has more number of atoms, 100 g, 100 gms of sodium or 100 gms of sodium or 100 gms of iron (given, the atomic mass of Na=23u, Fe = 56u).
Answer:

Atomic mass of sodium = 23u (data)
It means the gram atomic mass of sodium = 23 gm
Now atoms present in 23 gm sodium = 6.022 × 1023
 

It means Number of atoms in 100 gm sodium = 1.6753 × 1024
∴ 100 gm sodium has more number of atoms rather than 100 gms of iron.

1.A 0.24 g sample of a compound of oxygen and boron was found by analysis to contain 0.096g of boron and 0.144 g of oxygen. Calculate the percentage composition of the compound by weight.
Answer:

Mass of Boron = 0.096 g (Data)
Mass of Oxygen = 0.144g (Data)
Given mass = 0.24 g (Data)
∴ The percentage composition of Boron
 

∴ The percentage of O2 = 0.1440.24 × 100

2.When 3.00 g of carbon is burnt in 8.009 of oxygen, 11.00 g of carbon dioxide is produced. What mass of carbon dioxide will be formed when 3.00 g of carbon is burnt in 50,000 g of oxygen? Which law of Chemical combination will govern your answer?
Answer:
3.0 g of carbon is burnt in 8.00 g of oxygen, 11.00 g of carbon dioxide is produced.
But when 3 g of carbon is burnt in 50 g of oxygen, only 3 g of carbon reacts with 8 g of oxygen.
Remaining 42 gm of oxygen will not react.
11 gm of carbon dioxide is produced.
∴ Our answer obeys law of constant proportion.

11.Calculate the number of aluminium ions present in 0.0519 of aluminium oxide.
(Hint: The mass of an ion is the same as that of an atom of the same element. Atomic mass of Al = 27 u).

Answer:
One mole of Aluminium oxide

102 g of Al2O3 = 6.022 × 1023 moles (aluminium oxide)
 

It means Aluminium present in 0.051 gm
= 3.011 × 1020 Aluminium oxide molecules
Number of Al ions in one mole of Al2O3 = 2
∴ Number of Al Ions In 3.011 × 1026 molecules
0.051 Al2O3
= 2 × 3.011 × Number of Al ions In 3.011 × 1020
= 6.022 × 1020.
