Samples of water have been sourced from a river, a tap and a rainwater harvesting tank. However, upon testing, all the samples contain hydrogen and oxygen in the ratio of 1 : 8 by mass irrespective of the source of water. Which of the following laws does this prove?

  1. Law of conservation of mass

  2. Law of multiple proportions

  3. Law of definite proportions

  4. Law of atomic theory of matter

  5. None of these


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

This is correct. In a pure chemical compound, elements are always present in a definite proportion by mass. This is known as the law of definite proportions. In this case, if we decompose 100 grams of pure water by passing electricity through it, then we get 11 grams of hydrogen and 89 grams of oxygen, showing that hydrogen and oxygen are combined together in water in the same constant proportion of 1 : 8 by weight.

Which of the following statements is/are correct?

(a). Law of conservation of mass states that mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction. (b). The law of definite proportions states that in a chemical substance the elements are always present in definite proportions by mass. (c). Dalton's atomic theory states that matter consists of indivisible particles called atoms and that atoms of a given element are all identical and can neither be created nor destroyed.

The atomic mass of zinc is 65.37 u. Which of the following is the correct weight of 1 atom of zinc?

  1. 9.21 X 1021 grams

  2. 1.08 X 10-22 grams

  3. 1.08 X 1022 grams

  4. 10.85 x 1021 grams

  5. 0.09 X 10-22 grams


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Atomic mass of zinc = 65.37 u 1u = 1.67 x 10-24 g. Atomic mass of zinc = 65.37 u = 65.37 x 1.67 x 10-24 = 1.09 x 10-22 g

Match the following symbols with the names of corresponding elements:

Symbols Elements
a. Ag 1. Iron
b. Fe 2. Lead
c. Pb 3. Silver
  1. a - 1, b - 2, c - 3

  2. a - 2, b - 1, c - 3

  3. a - 3, b - 1, c - 2

  4. a - 2, b - 3, c - 1

  5. a - 3, b - 2, c - 1


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

This is the correct answer as the correct matching is: Ag is the symbol for silver. Fe is the symbol for iron. Pb is the symbol for lead.

What is the correct number of hydrogen atoms in 0.25 moles of water?

  1. 2

  2. 12.05 x 1023

  3. 0.18 x 1023

  4. 3.01 x 1023

  5. 0.75 x 1023


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

1 mole of H2O atoms contains 2 moles of H atoms. = 2 X 6.023 X 1023 hydrogen atoms So, 0.25 moles of H2O contains 2 x 6.023 X 1023 X 0.25 H atoms. = 3.01 X 1023 H atoms. Thus, this is the correct answer.

Which of the following statements is/are incorrect?

(a). Atoms of most elements are able to exist independently. (b). Atoms form molecules and ions. (c). An atom is a group of molecules tightly held together by attractive forces.

  1. (a) only

  2. (b) only

  3. (c) only

  4. (a) and (b)

  5. (a) and (c)


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

This is the correct answer as both these statements are incorrect. Atoms of most elements are not able to exist independently. A molecule is, in general, a group of two or more atoms that are chemically bonded together, i.e. tightly held together by attractive forces.

What is the mass of one molecule of water?

  1. 0.33 X 10-23

  2. 2.66 X 10 -23

  3. 6.02 X 1023

  4. 1.99 X 10 -23

  5. 2.99 X 10 -23


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

 Molecular mass of water = 2 + 16 = 18 g 1 mole of water (6.023 X 1023 molecules) weighs 18 g. Weight of 1 molecule of water = 18 / 6.023 X 1023 = 2.99 X 10 -23

Thus, this is correct.

What is the number of grams of Cr in 85 grams of Cr2S3?

  1. 200 grams

  2. 104 grams

  3. 244.7 grams

  4. 163.4 grams

  5. 44.2 grams


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

Molecular mass of Cr2S3 = 52 x 2 + 32 x 3 = 200 200 g Cr2S3 has Cr = 104 g 85 g of Cr = 104 / 200 x 85 = 44.2 g

Thus, this is the correct answer.

 

Directions: In the question given below, there are two statements labelled as Assertion (A) and Reason (R). Mark your answer as per the codes provided below:

A. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A. B. Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A. C. A is true but R is false. D. A is false but R is true. E. Both A and R are false.

Assertion (A): Graphite and diamond though made from carbon, show different properties. Reason (R): This supports Dalton's atomic theory of matter.

  1. A

  2. B

  3. C

  4. D

  5. E


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

This is the correct answer. Daltons atomic theory of matter states that when two elements combine to form two or more compounds, then the weight of one of these elements which combines with the fixed weight of the other element, bears a simple ratio to one another.  Though the assertion statement is correct, yet Dalton's theory fails to explain why substances like charcoal, graphite and diamond have different properties when all of these are formed from carbon atoms.

Directions: In the questions given below, there are two statements labelled as Assertion (A) and Reason (R). Mark your answer as per the codes provided below:

A. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A. B. Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A. C. A is true but R is false. D. A is false but R is true. E. Both A and R are false.

Assertion: In water, 1 gram of hydrogen combines with 16 grams of oxygen. In hydrogen peroxide, 1 gram of hydrogen combines with 8 grams of peroxide.

Reason: The ratio of oxygen in water and hydrogen peroxide combining with the same amount of hydrogen is the law of multiple proportions.

  1. A

  2. B

  3. C

  4. D

  5. E


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A is incorrect and R is correct. A: In water, 1 gram of hydrogen combines with 8 grams of oxygen and in hydrogen peroxide, 1 gram of hydrogen combines with 16 grams of peroxide. R: The law of multiple proportions defines that when two elements combine to form more than one compound, the mass of one element that combines with the given mass of the other element in different compounds is in the ratio of small whole numbers.
