Which of the following molecules specie has the minimum number of lone pairs ? 

  1. $ X _eF _4 $

  2. $ BF^- _4 $

  3. $ ICI _3 $

  4. $ BeF _2 $


Correct Option: D

A quantity of $2.0\ g$ of a triatomic gaseous element was found to occupy a volume of $448\ ml$ at $76\ cm$ of $Hg$ and $273\ K$.

The mass of its each atom is _______________.

  1. $100\ amu$

  2. $5.53\times 10^{-23}\ g$

  3. $33.3\ g$

  4. $5.53\ amu$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:
Given that
$P=76\ cm$ of $Hg =1\ atm$
$V=448\ ml=0.448\ L$
$T=273\ K$

Now,
$PV=nRT$

$n=\dfrac{PV}{RT}=\dfrac{1\times 0.448}{0.082\times 273}=0.02\ moles$

No. of moles $=\dfrac{mass}{molar\ mass}$

Molar mass $=\dfrac{mass}{mole}$

$3\times$ atomic mass $=\dfrac{2}{0.02}$

Atomic mass $=33.3\ g$

$\therefore$ mass of $1\ atom=\dfrac{33.3}{6.022\times 10^{23}}=5.53\times 10^{-23}\ g$
