Question 1:

What is the total number of carbon atoms in 34.2g of sucrose (C12H22O11) with molecular weight (Mr) = 342?





Topic: Molar Mass and Molecular Weight

Correct Answer: C) 7.2 × 1023

Detailed Hint:
  • The question tests the understanding of molar mass and its use in calculating the number of atoms in a given mass of a compound.
  • Given, molecular weight of sucrose is 342. The number of carbon atoms in one molecule is 12 (C12H22O11).
  • The total weight of sucrose in the question is 34.2g. To find the total number of sucrose molecules in this mass, we would divide the total weight by the molecular weight of sucrose (number of moles = mass/Mr).
  • Thus, the number of sucrose molecules in 34.2g = 34.2/342 moles.
  • Avogadro's number (6 × 1023) is the number of molecules in one mole. Therefore, the total number of sucrose molecules in 34.2g = (34.2/342) × (6 ×1023).
  • Each molecule of sucrose has 12 carbon atoms. Therefore, the total number of carbon atoms = Number of sucrose molecules × 12.
  • Calculating this gives the total number of carbon atoms as 7.2 × 1023, hence the correct option is C.

Question 2:

How many isotopes of elements exhibit both even mass numbers and even atomic numbers?





Topic: Atomic Structure and Isotopes

  • Isotopes are variants of a particular element that share the same atomic number but have different mass numbers.
  • The atomic number of an element is determined by the number of protons, while the mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons in an atom.
  • In this question, we're looking for isotopes that have both even atomic and mass numbers. The correct answer, as given, is 154, hence option C.

Question 3:

  • The molecular mass of water (H2O) is 18g/mol.
  • To find the number of moles in a given mass of a substance, we divide the mass of the substance by its molecular mass.
  • Therefore, the number of moles in 720g of water = 720/18.
  • This calculation gives us 40 moles, hence the correct answer is B.

Question 5:

  • Atomic mass of silver is given as 108u.
  • 1 mole of silver, which is equivalent to 6.023×1023 atoms, weighs 108g.
  • Therefore, the weight of 6.023×1020 atoms of silver can be calculated by proportion: (108g / 6.023x1023 atoms) * 6.022x1020 atoms.
  • This calculation yields a result of 0.108g, thus the correct answer is C.

Question 6:

What is the definition of a limiting reactant in a chemical reaction?





Topic: Chemical Reactions and Stoichiometry

Correct Answer: C) The reactant that is consumed first

Detailed Hint:
  • This question tests your understanding of chemical reactions, specifically the concept of a limiting reactant.
  • A limiting reactant in a chemical reaction is the substance that gets used up first, therefore determining the maximum amount of product that can be formed.
  • Regardless of the number of moles present, the reactant which gets fully consumed first is termed the 'limiting reactant'.
  • Hence, the correct answer is C.

Question 10:

What is the number of electrons present in 1.8 ml of water?





Topic: Molecular Structure and Mole Concept

Detailed Hint:
  • Each H2O molecule, which consists of 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom, has a total of 10 electrons.
  • 1 mole of water weighs 18 grams, so 1.8 grams of water is 0.1 mole.
  • Applying Avogadro's number, 0.1 moles of water contains 0.1 * 6.02 x 1023 = 0.6022 x 1023 molecules of water.
