How many atoms are there in one mole of hydrogen gas? [Avogadro's constant = 6.02 x 1023mol-1]

A.

1.2 x 10 23

B.

6.0 x 10 23

C.

1.2 x10 24

D.

6.0 x 10 24

Correct answer is C

One mole of hydrogen gas has 6.02 x 1023 molecules, and one molecule of hydrogen gas contains 2 atoms of hydrogen

therefore, one mole of hydrogen gas will contain 2 x 6.02 x10^23 atoms 

= 1.2 x 10^24 hydrogen atoms

14.8 g of a salt (z)dissolved in 250 cm3 of distilled water gives a concentration of 0.80 mol dm-3. Calculate the molar mass of the salt (z).

A.

13.5 g mol-1

B.

18.5 g mol-1

C.

47.4 g mol-1

D.

74.0 g mol-1

Correct answer is D

250cm3 of distilled water contains 14.8g of salt(z)
1cm3 of distilled water will contain \(\frac{14.8 x 1}{250}\) of salt (z)
:. 1000cm3 of distilled water will contain \(\frac{14.8 x 1 x 1000}{250}\) = 59.2g/dm33 = \(\frac{concentration in g/dm3}{molar mass}
0.80 = \(\frac{59.2}{molar mass}\)
molar mass = \(\frac{59.2}{0.80}\) = 74.0 g/mol
