Among 10^-9text g (each) of the following elements, which one will have the highest number of atoms ? Element: Pb, Po, Pr and Pt

Solution & Explanation

### Related Formula The number of atoms in a given mass of an element is calculated using: textNumber of atoms = fractextMass (g)textMolar Mass (g/mol) times N_A ### Core Logic Since the mass (10^-9text g) is identical for all samples, the number of atoms is inversely proportional to the molar mass of the element: textNumber of atoms propto frac1textMolar Mass ### Step 1: Molar Mass Values Comparison Let us check the molar masses of the listed elements: * textMolar Mass of Po approx 209text g/mol * textMolar Mass of Pr approx 141text g/mol * textMolar Mass of Pb approx 207text g/mol * textMolar Mass of Pt approx 195text g/mol ### Step 2: Conclusion Praseodymium (Pr) has the least molar mass (141text g/mol), meaning it will yield the maximum total number of atoms for the specified mass sample. ### Pattern Recognition Shortcut: Equal mass given ightarrow Lighter atoms mean more atoms per gram. Find the element with the lowest atomic mass value from the choices. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Chemistry: Some Basic Concepts of Chemistry

(Given: Molar mass of Ca, C, O, H and Cl are 40, 12, 16, 1 and 35.5mathrm~g cdot mol^-1, respectively)
  • A. (1)\ 3.908mathrm~g
  • B. (2)\ 2.636mathrm~g
  • C. (3)\ 10.545mathrm~g
  • D. (4)\ 5.272mathrm~g

Solution

### Related Formula Molarity conversion relation matrix: textMoles = textMolarity (M) times textVolume (L) textMass = textMoles times textMolar Mass ### Core Logic Let's perform molar quantities verification row-by-row: * Molar mass properties: mathrmCaCO_3 = 100mathrm~g/mol, mathrmCaCl_2 = 40 + (35.5 times 2) = 111mathrm~g/mol. * Initial chemical moles calculated: textMoles of mathrmCaCO_3 = frac1000100 = 10mathrm~mol textMoles of mathrmHCl = 0.76 times frac2501000 = 0.19mathrm~mol * Determine the limiting reactant via stoichiometric ratios: mathrmHCl acts as the Limiting Reagent (L.R.) because its proportional structural requirement is much smaller. * Moles of product mathrmCaCl_2 formed based on L.R. configuration: textMoles of mathrmCaCl_2 = frac0.192 = 0.095mathrm~mol textMass of mathrmCaCl_2 = 0.095 times 111 = 10.545mathrm~g ### Pattern Recognition Always compare the available moles divided by the respective stoichiometric coefficients to quickly find the Limiting Reagent: 10/1 gg 0.19/2. This trick saves execution seconds during complex numeric problems. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Chemistry: Some Basic Concepts of Chemistry
Q27 2025 Molarity and Stoichiometry of Neutralization
10mathrm~mL of 2mathrm~M~NaOH solution is added to 20mathrm~mL of 1mathrm~M~HCl solution kept in a beaker. Now, 10mathrm~mL of this mixture is poured into a volumetric flask of 100mathrm~mL containing 2 moles of mathrmHCl and made the volume upto the mark with distilled water. The solution in this flask is :
  • A. 0.2mathrm~M~NaCl solution
  • B. 20mathrm~M~HCl solution
  • C. 10mathrm~M~HCl solution
  • D. Neutral solution

Solution

### Related Formula Number of millimoles (n) is given by: n = M times V_mathrmmL Molarity (M) of a diluted mixture: M = fractextTotal molestextTotal Volume in Liters ### Core Logic Evaluate the first mixing step to determine the net acid-base state: - Millimoles of mathrmNaOH = 10mathrm~mL times 2mathrm~M = 20mathrm~mmol - Millimoles of mathrmHCl = 20mathrm~mL times 1mathrm~M = 20mathrm~mmol Since millimoles are equal, mathrmHCl and mathrmNaOH completely neutralize each other, producing a neutral aqueous salt solution. ### Step 1: Analyze transfer to volumetric flask Taking 10mathrm~mL of this neutralized solution provides no excess mathrmH^+ or mathrmOH^- ions. It is added to a volumetric flask containing 2mathrm~mol of pure mathrmHCl. ### Step 2: Calculate final molarity of mathrmHCl The volume of the flask is made up to 100mathrm~mL = 0.1mathrm~L: M = frac2mathrm~mol0.1mathrm~L = 20mathrm~M Hence, the resulting solution is 20mathrm~M~HCl. ### Pattern Recognition Stoichiometric neutralizations are evaluated by setting up mole/millimole balance charts. Once stoichiometric equivalence (MV_textacid = MV_textbase) is reached, any sub-aliquot of that solution remains completely neutral. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Chemistry: Some Basic Concepts of Chemistry Class 11 Chemistry: Ionic Equilibrium
Q37 2025 Stoichiometry of Gas Evolution
Mass of magnesium required to produce 220mathrm~mL of hydrogen gas at STP on reaction with excess of dil. HCl is : Given: Molar mass of Mg is 24mathrm~g~mol^-1 .
  • A. 235.7 g
  • B. 0.24 mg
  • C. 236 mg
  • D. 2.444 g

Solution

### Related Formula The balanced chemical equation for the displacement reaction is: mathrmMg(s) + 2mathrmHCl(aq) rightarrow mathrmMgCl_2mathrm(aq) + mathrmH_2mathrm(g) At STP, 1 mole of any ideal gas occupies a volume of 22.4mathrm~L = 22400mathrm~mL. ### Core Logic From the stoichiometry of the reaction: - 1 mole of mathrmMg (24mathrm~g) produces 1 mole of mathrmH_2 (22400mathrm~mL at STP). ### Step 1: Calculate moles of mathrmH_2 gas produced n_mathrmH_2 = frac220mathrm~mL22400mathrm~mL/mol approx 9.8214 times 10^-3mathrm~mol ### Step 2: Calculate mass of Magnesium required Since the molar ratio of \mathrm{Mg} to \mathrm{H}_2 is 1:1: n_mathrmMg = 9.8214 times 10^-3mathrm~mol textMass of Mg = 9.8214 times 10^-3mathrm~mol times 24mathrm~g/mol textMass of Mg approx 0.2357mathrm~g = 235.7mathrm~mg approx 236mathrm~mg This matches Option (3). ### Pattern Recognition Always keep a close eye on unit prefixes in options. A mass of 0.2357\mathrm{~g} corresponds to 235.7\mathrm{~mg}, which rounds directly to 236\mathrm{~mg}, whereas 235.7\mathrm{~g}$ is off by a factor of 1000. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Chemistry: Some Basic Concepts of Chemistry

  • B. 2.59, 11.85
  • C. 5.46, 17.8
  • D. 2.96, 11.2

Solution

### Related Formula P_i = X_i cdot P_texttotal = fracn_in_texttotal cdot P_texttotal Ratio of partial pressures: fracP_AP_B = fracn_An_B ### Core Logic Assume a sample of dry air with total mass = 100 text g: - Mass of mathrmN_2 = 70.0 text g - Mass of mathrmO_2 = 27.0 text g - Mass of mathrmAr = 3.0 text g Now, convert masses to moles: n_mathrmN_2 = frac70.028 = 2.5 text moles n_mathrmO_2 = frac27.032 = 0.84375 text moles n_mathrmAr = frac3.040 = 0.075 text moles Calculate ratios: (i) Ratio of partial pressure of nitrogen to oxygen: fracP_mathrmN_2P_mathrmO_2 = fracn_mathrmN_2n_mathrmO_2 = frac2.50.84375 approx 2.96 (ii) Ratio of partial pressure of oxygen to argon: fracP_mathrmO_2P_mathrmAr = fracn_mathrmO_2n_mathrmAr = frac0.843750.075 approx 11.25 approx 11.2 ### Pattern Recognition Since total pressure cancels out in a ratio of partial pressures, we only need to calculate the mole ratio directly from the given mass percentages divided by their respective molar masses. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Chemistry: Some Basic Concepts of Chemistry Class 11 Physics: Kinetic Theory of Gases
