0.75 mole of solid ‘$A _4$’ and 2 moles of gaseous $O _2$ are heated in a sealed vessel, completely using up the reactants and producing only one compound. It is found that when the temperature is reduced to the initial temperature, the contents of the vessel exhibit a pressure equal to half the original pressure. What conclusions can be drawn from these data the product of the reaction?

  1. $A _2O _5$

  2. $A _3O _4$

  3. $A _2O _2$

  4. none of these


Correct Option: B
Explanation:
give reaction
$A _4(s) + O _2(g) → A _xO _y$

Applying POAC  law for A atoms,
4 × moles of $A _4  =  x \times moles of A _xO _y$
=> $4 \times 0.75 = x \times  1$
=> x = 3

Applying POAC for O atoms,
$2\times  moles of O _2 = y \times moles of A _xO _y$
=> $2 \times 2 = y \times 1$
=> y = 4

Thus, the formula of the product is $A _3O _4$.

A hybrid rocket propellant uses:

  1. a liquid oxidizer and a solid fuel 

  2. a complete solid propellent

  3. a beleqiud propellent

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
Hybrid propellant engines represent an intermediate group between solid and liquid propellant engines. One of the substances is solid, usually the fuel, while the other, usually the oxidizer, is liquid. 

The liquid is injected into the solid, whose fuel reservoir also serves as the combustion chamber. The main advantage of such engines is that they have high performance, similar to that of solid propellants, but the combustion can be moderated, stopped, or even restarted. It is difficult to make use of this concept for vary large thrusts, and thus, hybrid propellant engines are rarely built.

A hybrid engine burning nitrous oxide as the liquid oxidizer and HTPB rubber as the solid fuel powered the vehicle SpaceShipOne, which won the Ansari X-Prize.

Hence, the correct option is $\text{A}$

  1. equivalent proportion

  2. multiple proportion

  3. constant proportion

  4. conservation of matter


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Different proportions of oxygen in the various oxides of nitrogen prove the law of multiple proportions.
According to the law of multiple proportions,
 "if two elements chemically combine with each other forming two or more compounds with different compositions
by mass then the ratios of masses of two interacting elements in the two compounds are small whole numbers".

Example.
14 g of nitrogen combine with 16  g of oxygen to form 30 g of $NO$.
The ratio of masses $N:O$ is $14:16$.

14 g of nitrogen combine with 32  g of oxygen to form 46 g of $NO _2$.
The ratio of masses $N:O$ is $14:32$.

The two ratios are in the proportion of $32:16=2:1$.

  1. Law of constant composition

  2. Law of reciprocal proportion

  3. Law of multiple proportion

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

First case,
$3.2$ g of S combines with $3.2$ g of $O _2$.
$1$ g of S combines with $1$ g of $O _2$.
Second case,
$0.8$ g of S combines with $1.2$ g of $O _2$
$1$ g of S combines with $\dfrac {1.2}{0.8}=1.5$ g of $O _2$
Thus, the ratio of the $O _2$ in both cases which combines with a fixed mass ($1$ g) of $S=1:1.5$ or $2:3$, which is a simple whole number ratio and hence, the law of multiple proportion is verified.

Law of multiple proportions is illustrated by which of the following pairs of compounds?

  1. $HCl$ and $HNO _{3}$

  2. $KOH$ and $KCl$

  3. $N _{2}O$ and $NO$

Correct Option: C
Explanation:

A fixed mass of nitrogen, say $100$ grams, may react with $57.14$ grams of oxygen to produce one oxide, or with $114.28$ grams of oxygen to produce the other. The ratio of the masses of oxygen that can react with $100$ grams of nitrogen is $57.14:114.28$ or  $2:1$, a ratio of small whole numbers.

Hydrogen peroxide and water contain $5.93$% and $11.2$% of hydrogen respectively. The data illustrates the law of:

  1. constant proportions

  2. multiple proportions

  3. reciprocal proportions

  4. conservation of mass


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

For hydrogen peroxide, 100 g of sample will contain 5.93 g hydrogen and  $\displaystyle 100 - 5.93 = 94.07$ g oxygen respectively.

The ratio of the mass of oxygen to the mass of hydrogen in hydrogen peroxide is  $\displaystyle \dfrac {94.07}{5.93} = 15.86$

For water, 100 g of sample will contain 11.2 g hydrogen and  $\displaystyle 100 - 11.2 = 88.8$ g oxygen respectively.

The ratio of the mass of oxygen to the mass of hydrogen in hydrogen peroxide is  $\displaystyle \dfrac {88.8}{11.2} = 7.93$

The two ratios are in the proportion $\displaystyle \dfrac {15.86}{7.93} = 2:1$

Hence, this illustrates the Law of multiple proportions. According to this law, if two elements chemically combine with each other forming two or more compounds with different compositions by mass then the ratios of masses of two interacting elements in the two compounds are small whole numbers.

    $Y = 36.81$


Correct Option: A

Which of the following pairs illustrates the law of multiple proportions?

  1. $PH _3$, $HCl$

  2. $PbO$, $PbO _2$

  3. $H _2S$, $SO _2$

  4. $CuCl _2$, $CuSO _4$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

the law of multiple proportions.: two elements combine to form more than one compound and the masses of one element that combine with a fixed mass of the other element is in the ratio of small whole numbers. 

So all elements are same only the mass ratio of reactants varies the product formation.
thus in $PbO$ and $PbO _2$ the reactants are $Pb$ and $O _2$ that combine in different ratio. other options do not have all the elements common.
option B is correct

Which of the following statements illustrates the law of multiple proportions?

  1. An element forms two oxides, XO and $XO _2$ containing $50\%$ and $60\%$ oxygen respectively. The ratio of masses of oxygen which combines with 1 g of element is 2:3

  2. Hydrogen sulphide contains $5.89\%$ hydrogen, water contains $11.1\%$ hydrogen and sulphur dioxide contains $50\%$ oxygen.

  3. 3.47 g of $BaCl _2$ reacts with 2.36 g of $Na _2SO _4$ to give 3.88 g of $BaSO _4$ and 1.95 g of NaCl.

  4. 20 mL of ammonia gives 10 volumes of $N _2$ and 30 volumes of $H _2$ at constant temperature and pressure


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
Law of multiple proportions states that when two elements combine to form two or more compounds, the masses of one element which combine with the fixed mass of another element, will always be in ratio of whole numbers.
The statement is :
An element forms two oxides $XO$ and ${ XO } _{ 2 }$ containing $50$% and $60$% of oxygen respectively. The ratio of masses of ${ O } _{ 2 }$ which combine with $1g$ of element of $2:3$.

In compound A, 1.0 g nitrogen combines with 0.57 g oxygen. In compound B, 2.0 g nitrogen unite with 2.24 g oxygen and in compound C, 3.0 g nitrogen combine with 5.11 g oxygen. These results obey the law of: 

  1. multiple proportions

  2. constant proportions

  3. reciprocal proportions

  4. none of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

In compound A 1 gm of nitrogen combined with 0.57 gm of oxygen and compound B 1 gm of nitrogen combined with 1.12 gm of oxygen and C 1 gm of nitrogen combined with 1.7 gm of oxygen so the fixed amount of nitrogen is 1: 2 :3 so this follows of multiple proportion rule 

Carbon and oxygen form two compounds. Carbon content in one of them is $42.9$% and in the other is $27.3$%. The given data is in agreement with:

  1. law of conservation of mass

  2. law of multiple proportions

  3. law of reciprocal proportions

  4. law of definite proportions


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The given data is in agreement with Law of multiple proportions.

The Law of multiple proportions states that the masses of one element combine with a fixed mass of the second element are in a ratio of whole numbers.
In $100$ $g$ of the first compound $O:C=$$57$ $/42.9$ $=1.33$  
In $100$ $g$ of the second compound $O:C=$$72.7$ $/27.3$ $=2.66$  
Ratio $=2.66:1.33=2:1$
This whole number ratio is consistent with Law of multiple proportions. 

$12g$ of carbon combines with $64g$ sulphur to form ${CS} _{2}$. $12g$ carbon also combines with $32g$ oxygen to form ${CO} _{2}$. $10g$ sulphur combines with $10g$ oxygen to form ${SO} _{2}$. These data illustrate the

  1. Law of multiple proportions

  2. Law of definite proportions

  3. Law of reciprocal proportions

  4. Law of gaseous volumes


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Given,

$12g$ $C$ combines with $64g$ $S$ to give $CS _2$
$12g$ $C$ combines with $32g$ $O$ to give $CO _2$
Also, $10gS$ combines with $10gO$ to give $SO _2$
In $CS _2$ $C:S=12:64=3:16$
In $CO _2$ $C:O=12:32=3:8$
From, $CS _2$ & $CO _2$, $S:O=16:8=2:1$
Also in $SO _2$ $S:O=10:10=1:1$
$\Rightarrow 2:1$ is multiple of $1:1$
$\cfrac {1}{1}\times 2=\cfrac {2}{1}$
$\Rightarrow $ Law of reciprocal proportions is illustrated here.

A chemical equation is balanced according to the law of: 

  1. multiple proportions

  2. constant proportions

  3. reciprocal proportions

  4. conservation of mass


Correct Option: D
Explanation:
When we balance an equation, we determine the ratio of reactants to products which allows for the total number of atoms of reactants to match the number of atoms of the products.

 Since the type of atoms does not change and the number of atoms stays that same, the total mass that goes into the chemical change will match the mass that comes out after the change.

   So, law of conservation of mass is the correct answer.

Carbon and oxygen from two compounds. Carbon content in one of them is 42.9% and in the other is 27.3%. The given data is in agreement with :

  1. law of conservation of mass

  2. law of multiple proportions

  3. law of reciprocal proportions

  4. law of definite proportions.


Correct Option: B

Law of multiple proportions is illustrated by which one of the  following pairs ?

  1. $H _{2}S$ and $SO _{2}$

  2. $NH _{3}$ and $NO _{2}$

  3. $N _{2}O$ and NO

  4. $N _{2}S$ and $Na _{2}O$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:
Law of multiple proportions say that if 2 elements form more than one compounds between them, then the ratios of the masses of the second element which combine with a fixed mass of the first element will be ratios of small whole numbers.
In $N _{2}O$ and $NO$, the ratio of weight of $N$ reacting with a constant weight of $O$ is $2:1$

$P _xO _y$ what will be correct value of $x$ and $y$ if $P$ and $H$ combine in the mass ratio of $3.1 : 0.3$ and in water $H$ and $O$ combine in the mass ratio $0.2 : 1.6$?

  1. $1$ and $1$

  2. $1$ and $2$

  3. $2$ and $3$

  4. $2$ and $5$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

 

$P:H = 3.1 : 0.3 = (3.1 \times : 0.30) \times 2 = 6.2 : 0.6$

$H:O = 0.2 : 1.6 = (0.2 \times 3 : 1.6) \times 3 = 0.6 : 4.8$

$P:O = 6.2 : 4.8 = 3.1 : 2.4 $ (ratio by mass) $= 1.29: 1$

$1.29$ mass $P= 1 $ mass $O$

$x$ mass $P= 16 \ g$ mass $O$

$x= 16 \times 1.29 = 20.64 \ g$ Phosphorous

$= \cfrac {20.64}{31}$ moles Phosphorous

$= 0.66$

$1 \ mole \ O(y) = 0.66 \ mole \ P(x) = \cfrac 23$

$\therefore \ x:y = 2:3 $

$x =2 \ ; \ y=3$
