The volume occupied by 1.58g of a gas at S.T.P is 500cm\(^3\). What is the relative molecular mass of the gas?  [ G.M.V at S.T.P = 22.4dm\(^{3}\) ]

A.

28

B.

32

C.

44

D.

71

Correct answer is D

500cm\(^3\) of the gas weighed 1.58

: 22400cm\(^3\) of the gas weight

 

[22400 X 1.58g] ÷ [ 500 ]

= 71

The number of molecules of Carbon(iv)Oxide produced when 10.0g of CaCO\(_3\) is treated with 0.2dm\(^3\) of 1 Mole of HCL in the equation

CaCO\(_3\) + 2HCL ⇒  CaCl\(_2\)  + H\(_2\) O + CO\(_2\)  , is?

A.

1.00 X 10\(^{23}\)

B.

6.02 X 10\(^{23}\)

C.

6.02 X 10\(^{22}\)

D.

6.02 X 10\(^{24}\)

Correct answer is C

1 mole of CaCO\(_3\) = 100g or  6.02 X 10\(^{23}\)

liberated 1 mole of CO\(_2\) or 44g or 6.02 X 10\(^{23}\)

 

:100g =  6.02 X 10\(^{23}\)

10g of CaCO\(_3\) = x

cross multiply

[10g X 6.02 X 10\(^{23}\)] / 100g = x

⇒ x = 6.02 X 10\(^{22}\)

 

Since 

 6.02 X 10\(^{23}\) of CaCO\(_3\) liberated 6.02 X 10\(^{23}\) of CO\(_2\)

 

⇒ 6.02 X 10\(^{22}\) of CaCO\(_3\) will liberate 6.02 X 10\(^{22}\) of CO\(_2\)

How many valence electrons are contained in the element \(^{31}_{15}P\)?

A.

3

B.

4

C.

189.

The products of the thermal decomposition of ammonium trioxonitrate(v) are?

A.

Nitrogen (I) Oxide and Water

B.

Ammonia and Oxide

C.

Nitrogen and Water

D.

Nitrogen (IV) Oxide and Water

Correct answer is A

NH\(_4\)NO\(_3\) Ammonium Trioxonitrate(V) , unlike all other metallic trioxonitrates(v), decomposes on heating to give nitrogen(i)oxide N\(_2\)O and water.

Four elements P, Q, R and S have atomic numbers of 4, 10, 12 and 14 respectively. Which of these elements is noble gas? 

A.

P

B.

Q

C.

R

D.

S

Correct answer is B

They are the most stable due to having the maximum number of valence electrons their outer shell can hold. Therefore, they rarely react with other elements since they are already stable.
