Answer - 11 : -


Question - 12 : - Calculate the formula unit masses of ZnO, Na2O, K2C03.Given atomic masses of Zn = 65 u, Na = 23 u, K = 39 u,C = 12 u and,0= 16 u.

Answer - 12 : - Formula unit mass of ZnO = atomic mass of Zn + atomicmass of O

Question - 13 : - If one mole of carbon atoms weighs 12 gram, what isthe mass (in gram) of 1 atom of carbon?

Answer - 13 : -


Question - 14 : - Which has more number of atoms, 100 grams of sodium or100 grams of iron (given atomic mass of Na = 23 u, Fe = 56 u)?

Answer - 14 : -

Question - 15 : - A 0.24 g sample of compound of oxygen and boron wasfound by analysis to contain 0.096 g of boron and 0.144 g of oxygen. Calculatethe percentage composition of the compound by weight.

Answer - 15 : - We know that, % of any element in a

Question - 16 : - When 3.0 g of carbon is burnt in 8.00 g oxygen, 11.0 gof carbon dioxide is produced. What mass of carbon dioxide will be formed when3.0 g of carbon is burnt in 50.00 g of oxygen? Which law of chemicalcombination will govern your answer?


Answer - 16 : -


Total mass of reactants = total mass of products Hence, the lawof conservation of mass is proved.
Further, it also shows carbon dioxide contains carbon and oxygen in a fixedratio by mass, which is 3 : 8. Thus, it also proves the law of constantproportions. 3 g of carbon must also combine with 8 g of oxygen only. Thismeans that (50 – 8) = 42 g of oxygen will remain un reacted.
