Single Correct Answer Type
Q1. Two students performed the same experiment separately and each one of them recorded two readings of mass which are given below. Correct reading of mass is 3.0 g. On the basis of given data, mark the correct option out of the following statements.
Results of both the students are neither accurate nor precise.
(b) Results of student A are both precise and accurate.
(c) Results of student B are neither precise nor accurate.
(d) Results of student B are both precise and accurate.
Sol:
For both the students, average value is close to the correct value. Hence, readings of both are accurate. But readings of student A are also close to each other (differ only by 0.02) and also close to the average value, hence readings of A are also precise.

Q13. Which of the following statements is correct about the reaction given below? 4Fe(s) + 302(g) →2Fe203(s)
(a) Total mass of iron and oxygen in reactants = total mass of iron and oxygen in product, therefore it follows law of conservation of mass.
(b) Total mass of reactants = total mass of product; therefore, law of multiple proportions is followed.
(c) Amount of Fe203 can be increased by taking any one of the reactants (iron or oxygen) in excess.
(d) Amount of Fe203 produced will decrease if the amount of any one of the reactants (iron or oxygen) is taken in excess.
Sol: (a) 4Fe + 302 —> 2Fe203 follows law of conservation of mass since mass of reactants is equal to mass of products.

(c) When magnesium bums in oxygen, the amount of magnesium taken for the reaction is equal to the amount of magnesium in magnesium oxide formed.
(d) At constant temperature and pressure 200 mL of hydrogen will combine with 100 mL oxygen to produce 200 mL of water vapour.
Sol: (b) The element, carbon, combines with oxygen to form two compounds, namely, carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. In C02, 12 parts by mass of carbon combine with 32 parts by mass of oxygen while in CO, 12 parts by mass of carbon combine with 16 parts by mass of oxygen.
Therefore, the masses of oxygen combine with a fixed mass of carbon (12 parts) in C02 and CO are 32 and 16 respectively. These masses of oxygen bear a simple ratio of 32 : 16 or 2 : 1 to each other.
This is an example of law of multiple proportion.

Q16. One mole of oxygen gas at STP is equal to____ .
(a) 6. 022 x 1023 molecules of oxygen
(b) 6.022 x 1023 atoms of oxygen
(c) 16 g of oxygen .
(d) 32 g of oxygen

Q17. Sulphuric acid reacts with sodium hydroxide as follows:
H2S04 + 2NaOH →Na2SO4 + 2H20
When 1 L of 0.1 M sulphuric acid solution is allowed to react with 1 L of 0.1 M sodium hydroxide solution, the amount of sodium sulphate formed and its molarity in the solution obtained is
(a) 0.1 mol L-1
(b) 7.10 g
(c) 0.025 mol L-1
(d) 3.55 g
Sol: (b, c) Moles of H2S04 taken = 0.1 moles
Moles of NaOH taken = 0.1 moles
As H2S04 and NaOH react in ratio 1:2, so 0.1 moles of H2S04 reacts with 0.2 mole of NaOH which we don’t have.
0.1 mole of NaOH reacts with 0.05 mole of H2S04, so NaOH is Limiting reactant. Product is calculated w.r.t limiting reactant so Number of moles of Na2S04 formed will also be equal to 0.05.
Mass of Na2S04 = 0.05 x 142 = 7.1 g

Q43. Define the law of multiple proportions. Explain it with two examples. How does this law point to the existence of atoms?
Sol: Law of multiple proportions: When two elements combine to form two or more chemical compounds, then the masses of one of the elements which combine with a fixed mass of the other, bear a simple ratio to one another, e.g., carbon combines with oxygen to form two compounds, namely, carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide.
The masses of oxygen which combine with a fixed mass of carbon in C02 and CO are 32 and 16 respectively. These masses of oxygen bear a simple ratio of 32 : 16 or 2 : 1 to each other. For example, sulphur combines with oxygen to form two compounds, namely, sulphur trioxide and sulphur dioxide.
The masses of oxygen which combine with a fixed mass of sulphur in S03 and S02 are 48 and 32 respectively. These masses of oxygen bear a simple ratio of 48 : 32 or 3 : 2 to each other. This law shows that there are constituents which combine in a definite proportion. These constituents may be atoms. Thus, the law of multiple proportions shows the existence of atoms which combine to form molecules.
