= 2 moles of He atoms
Q4
How many moles are there in 52g of Helium?
Answer
Atomic Mass of Helium = 4 u
So Molar Mass of Helium = 4 gram
It means that Mass of 1 mole of Helium = 4 grams
We can also write as
4 grams = 1 mole
1 gram =1/4 mole
52 grams = (¼) x 52 mole
52 grams = 13 moles
So,
n = Given mass / Molar mass
= 52 / 4
= 13 moles

Q10
3.42 g of sucrose are dissolved in 18 g of water in a beaker. The number of oxygen atoms in the solution are
(a) 6.68 x10 23
(b) 6.09 x10 22
(c) 6.022 x 10 23
(d) 6.022.x 10 21
Answer
(a) 6.68 x10 23
Explanation:
Number of moles = Given mass of substance / Molecular mass of substance
n Sucrose = m / M
n Sucrose = 3.42 g / 342g
n Sucrose = 0.01 mole
1 mol of sucrose → 11 x N 0 atoms of O
0.01 mol of sucrose → 0.01 x 11 x N 0 atoms of O
→ 0.11 x N 0 atoms of O
n H20 = m / M
n H20 = 18 g / 18g
n H20 = 1 mole
1 mol of water → N 0 atoms of O
Total number of O atoms = (0.11 + 1) x N 0
= 1.11 x N 0
= 1.11 x 6.022 x 10 23
= 6.68 x 10 23
Q11
If one mole of carbon atoms weighs 12 grams, what is the mass (in grams) of 1 atom of carbon?
Answer
Given,
Mass of 1 mole of Carbon = Molar mass of C = 12g
1 mole of carbon = 6.0 22 x 10 23 atoms of Carbon
Therefore,
Mass of 6.0 22 x 10 23 atoms of Carbon = 12 g
Mass of 1 atom of Carbon = 12 / 6.0 22 x 10 23
≈ 2 x 10 - 23 g

- 1.1g and 2.5g
- 2.5g and 1.1g
- 5.0 and 1.1g
Answer
- c) 2.5g and 1.1g
Calcium Carbonate → Calcium Oxide + Carbon Dioxide
CaCO 3 → CaO + CO 2
X → 1.4g + Y
Molecular mass of CaO = 56g
Number of moles of CaO = 1.4/56
= 0.025
Molecular mass of CaCO 3 = 100g
Molecular mass of CO 2 = 44g
So, 0.025 moles of CaCO 3 = 0.025 x 100g
= 2.5g of CaCO 3
And, 0.025 moles of CO 2 = 0.025 x 44g
= 1.1g of CO 2

Which of the following contains the greatest number of atoms?
A - 1g of butane
B - 1g of Nitrogen
C - 1g of silver
D - 1g of water
Answer
A - 1g of butane
Explanation :
Molecular mass of Butane (C 4 H 10 ) is 58g/mol
There are 14 atoms in the molecule
So, 1g of butane means 1/58 moles = 0.0172 moles
Total number of atoms = 14 x 0.0172 x 6.022 x 10 23 = 1.45 x 10 23 atoms
Molecular mass of Nitrogen (N 2 ) is 28g/mol
There are 2 atoms in the molecule
So, 1g of nitrogen means 1/28 moles = 0.0357 moles
Total number of atoms = 2 x 0.0357 x 6.022 x 10 23 = 0.43 x 10 23 atoms
Molecular mass of Silver (Ag) is 108g/mol
There are is 1 atom in the molecule
So, 1g of silver means 1/108 moles = 0.0092 moles
Total number of atoms = 0.0092 x 6.022 x 10 23 = 0.054 x 10 23 atoms
Molecular mass of Water (H 2 O) is 18g/mol
There are 3 atoms in the molecule
So, 1g of water means 1/18 moles = 0.055 moles
Total number of atoms = 3 x 0.055 x 6.022 x 10 23 = 1.003 x 10 23 atoms
Thus 1g of butane has greatest number of atoms
Q16
Which sample contains the largest number of atoms?
A - 1mg of C 4 H 10
B - 1mg of N 2
C - 1mg of Na
D - 1ml of H 2 O
Answer
D - 1ml of H 2 O
Explanation:
1mg of C 4 H 10 (14 atoms in 1 molecule) = (14 x N x 10 -3 ) / 58 = 2.41 x 10 -4 x N atoms
1mg of N 2 (2 atoms in 1 molecule) = (2N x 10 -3 ) / 28 = 7.14 x 10 -5 x N atoms
1mg of Na (1 atom in 1 molecule) = (N x 10 -3 ) / 23 = 4.34 x 10 -5 x N atoms
1ml of H 2 O (3 atoms in 1 molecule) = 1g of H 2 O = 3N / 18 = 2.41 x 10 -4 x N atoms
Thus 1ml of H 2 O has largest number of atoms
Q17

So in 1 mole of Mg 3 (PO 4 ) 2 molecules , there will be 8 moles of Oxygen atoms.
1 mole of Mg 3 (PO 4 ) 2 → 8 moles of O atoms
X → 0.25 moles of O atoms
Cross multiplying,
0.25 x 1 = 8X
X = 0.25/8
X = 3.125 x 10 -2
3.125 x 10 -2 moles of Magnesium Phosphate will contain 0.25 mole of oxygen atoms.
Q18
Which has the maximum number of molecules?
A - 7g N 2
B - 2g H 2
C - 16g NO 2
D - 16g O 2
Answer
B - 2g H 2
Explanation:
Number of moles = Given mass of substance / Molecular mass of substance
n = m / M
7g N 2 → 7 / 28 = 0.25 moles of molecules
2g H 2 → 2 / 2 = 1 mole of molecules
16g NO 2 → 16 / 46 = 0.347 moles of molecules
16g O 2 → 16 / 32 = 0.5 moles of molecules
Thus 2g H 2 has the most number of molecules.
Q19
How many gram atoms of H and S are contained in 0.40 mole of H 2 S?
Answer
1 mole of a substance = 1 gram atom
In this case
H 2 S has 2 H atoms and 1 S atom
1 mole of H 2 S → 2 gram atoms of H and 1 gram atom of S
So, 0.4 moles of H 2 S →
2 x 0.4 = 0.8 gram atoms of H
1 x 0.4 = 0.4 gram atoms of S
Q20
Which has more number of atoms, 100 grams of sodium or 100 grams of iron (given, atomic mass of Na = 23 u, Fe = 56 u)?
Answer
To find which one has more atoms, we’ll find the number of moles of both.
Since 1 mole of any substance has the same number of atoms, the element having more number of moles will have more atoms .
Let,
Given mass of Na = m n =100g
Given mass of Fe = m f =100g
We know that,
Molar mass of a substance = Atomic mass of the substance (in g)
Therefore,
Molar mass of Na = M n = 23g
Molar mass of Fe = M f = 56g
Now,
Number of moles of a substance = Given mass of the substance / Molar mass of the substance
For Na, = m n /M n
= 100/23
≈ 4.34 moles
For Fe, = m f /M f
= 100/56
≈ 1.78 moles
Since, Number of moles of Na > Number of moles of Fe .
100g of Na will have more atoms than 100g of Fe .
Q21
Calculate the number of moles and molecules in 22g of Acetic Acid.
Answer
Acetic Acid has the formula CH 3 COOH
The molecular mass is thus → (12x2 + 1x4 + 16x2)
= 60g
Number of moles n = Given mass / Molar mass
n = 22/60
n = 0.3666 moles
1 mole → 6.022 x 10 23 molecules (according to mole concept)
0.3666 moles → X molecules
X = 0.3666 x 6.022 x 10 23
X = 2.207 x 10 23 molecules
So, 22g of Acetic acid has 0.3666 moles and 2.207 x 10 23 molecules
Q22

Answer
The reaction for formation of Carbon Dioxide is;
C + O 2 → CO 2
1 mole of C reacts with 1 mole of O 2 to give 1 mole of CO 2
12g of C reacts with 1g of O 2 to give 44g of CO 2
It is given that 24g of C gives 88g of CO 2
Which is double the amount of C and CO 2
So even O 2 will be double the amount → 32g

- Number of moles of C
- Number of moles of H
- Number of moles of O
- Number of molecules of CH 3 CHO
Answer
- 1 mole of acetaldehyde has 2 C atoms ( C H 3 C HO ) So, 1 mole of acetaldehyde has 2 moles of C atoms
That means, 2 mole of acetaldehyde has 4 moles of C atoms
- 1 mole of acetaldehyde has 4 H atoms ( C H 3 C H O )
So, 1 mole of acetaldehyde has 4 moles of C atoms
That means, 2 mole of acetaldehyde has 8 moles of C atoms
- 1 mole of acetaldehyde has 1 O atom ( CH 3 CH O )
So, 1 mole of acetaldehyde has 1 moles of O atom
That means, 2 mole of acetaldehyde has 2 moles of C atoms
- 1 mole → 6.022 x 10 23 molecules (according to mole concept)
2 moles → X molecules
X = 2 x 6.022 x 10 23
X = 12.044 x 10 23 molecules

We know that,
Number of moles of a substance = Given mass of the substance / Molar mass of the substance
n = m/M ----- (1)
Also,
Number of moles of a substance = Number of particles of the substance / Avogadro's Constant
n = N / N O
n = N / 6.022 x 10 23 ------- (2)
From the above 2 formulae, we can say that,
n = m / M = N / 6.022 x 10 23 ---- (3)
Given mass of Aluminium ion (Al 2 O 3 )= m = 0.051g
Molar mass of Aluminium Oxide (Al 2 O 3 ) = M = 102g
We need to find Number of ions, ie, N
Putting values in (3), we get
0.051 / 102 = N / 6.022 x 10 23
N = 6.022 x 10 23 x (0.051 / 102)
= 6.022 x 10 23 x (51 x 10 -3 ) / 102
= 3.011 x 10 (23-3)
= 3.011 x 10 20 molecules
1 molecule of Al 2 O 3 has 2 Al 3+ ions
So, number of Al 3+ ions in 0.051 molecules of Al 2 O 3 is;
3.011 x 10 20 x 2 = 6.022 x 10 20
Thus, 6.022 x 10 20 Al 3+ ions are present in 0.051 molecules of Al 2 O 3
