Q36 2025 Empirical and Molecular Formulae
The elemental composition of a compound is 54.2\%text C, 9.2\%text H and 36.6\%text O. If the molar mass of the compound is 132text g mol^-1, the molecular formula of the compound is: [Given : The relative atomic mass of mathrmC : mathrmH : mathrmO = 12 : 1 : 16]

  • B. mathrmC_6mathrmH_12mathrmO_6
  • C. mathrmC_6mathrmH_12mathrmO_3
  • D. mathrmC_4mathrmH_8mathrmO_2

Solution

### Core Logic Let's find the empirical formula by calculating the relative molar ratios of each element: * Carbon (C): textMoles = frac54.212 = 4.516 * Hydrogen (H): textMoles = frac9.21 = 9.200 * Oxygen (O): textMoles = frac36.616 = 2.287 Next, divide each value by the smallest number of moles (2.287) to get the simplest whole-number ratio: * C: frac4.5162.287 approx 1.97 approx 2 * H: frac9.2002.287 approx 4.02 approx 4 * O: frac2.2872.287 = 1 Thus, the Empirical Formula is mathrmC_2mathrmH_4mathrmO. ### Step 2: Molecular Formula Determination 1. Calculate the empirical formula mass: textEmpirical Mass = (2 cdot 12) + (4 cdot 1) + 16 = 24 + 4 + 16 = 44text g/mol 2. Find the multiplier (n): n = fractextMolar MasstextEmpirical Mass = frac13244 = 3 3. Determine the molecular formula: textMolecular Formula = (mathrmC_2mathrmH_4mathrmO)_3 = mathrmC_6mathrmH_12mathrmO_3 This matches Option (3). ### Pattern Recognition Always determine the empirical formula ratio first. Then, compare the empirical mass with the given molar mass to find the whole-number multiplier (n). Multiplication gives the definitive molecular formula. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Chemistry: Some Basic Concepts of Chemistry

Numerical Answer. Answer: 420 to 420

Solution

### Related Formula textMoles (n) = fractextMass in gramstextMolar Mass ### Core Logic First, calculate the input moles for each reactant: - Moles of Fe_3O_4 = frac2.32 times 10^3 times 10^3text g232text g mol^-1 = 10,000text moles - Moles of CO = frac2.8 times 10^2 times 10^3text g28text g mol^-1 = 10,000text moles Next, identify the limiting reagent by comparing the available moles to the stoichiometric coefficients: - For Fe_3O_4: frac100001 = 10000 - For CO: frac100004 = 2500 Since 2500 < 10000, **carbon monoxide (CO) is the limiting reagent**. Now, determine the production yield of iron based on the limiting reagent (CO): textMoles of Fe text produced = frac34 times n(CO) = frac34 times 10000 = 7500text moles Convert these moles into kilograms to find the final mass (x): textMass of Fe = frac7500 times 56text g/mol1000text g/kg = 420text kg ### Pattern Recognition Always identify the limiting reagent first by normalizing the mole quantities with their respective stoichiometric coefficients before calculating product yields. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Chemistry: Some Basic Concepts of Chemistry

  • A. 45
  • B. 55
  • C. 32
  • D. 40

Solution

### Related Formula Mass percentage definition: \%text w/w = fractextMass of solutetextMass of solution times 100 Density conversion equation: textVolume of solution = fractextMass of solutiontextDensity of solution ### Core Logic A value of 75\%text w/w HNO_3 implies that 75mathrm\ g of pure textHNO_3 is present in 100mathrm\ g of solution. We need to find the volume that provides exactly 30mathrm\ g of pure acid solute. ### Step 1: Calculate Solution Mass and Volume Mass of solution needed for 30mathrm\ g solute: textMass = frac10075 times 30 = 40mathrm\ g Converting mass to volume using solution density (1.25mathrm\ g/mL): textVolume = frac40mathrm\ g1.25mathrm\ g/mL = 32mathrm\ mL ### Pattern Recognition Break concentration steps down clearly: textMass of solute rightarrow textMass of solution rightarrow textVolume of solution. Combining operations: textVolume = fractextMass solute\% times frac100textdensity = frac3075 times frac1001.25 = 0.4 times 80 = 32. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Chemistry: Some Basic Concepts of Chemistry
Q31 2025 Properties of Matter and Their Measurement
Choose the correct statements. (A) Weight of a substance is the amount of matter present in it. (B) Mass is the force exerted by gravity on an object. (C) Volume is the amount of space occupied by a substance. (D) Temperatures below 0^circmathrmC are possible in Celsius scale, but in Kelvin scale negative temperature is not possible. (E) Precision refers to the closeness of various measurements for the same quantity.
  • A. (B), (C) and (D) Only
  • B. (A), (B) and (C) Only
  • C. (A), (D) and (E) Only
  • D. (C), (D) and (E) Only

Solution

### Related Formula T_mathrmK = T_^circmathrmC + 273.15 Absolute zero (0text K) represents the lowest theoretical temperature limit. ### Core Logic Analyzing each statement based on foundational definitions : * (A) & (B) Incorrect: Mass is the actual matter present; weight is the gravitational force exerted on that mass. These definitions are reversed in the statements. * (C) Correct: Volume correctly defines the space occupied by a substance . * (D) Correct: Celsius values can be negative, whereas Kelvin scale strictly defaults to absolute zero (0text K) as minimum . * (E) Correct: Precision measures how close experimental trials lie relative to each other . Therefore, statements (C), (D), and (E) are correct. ### Pattern Recognition Absolute temperature scale (Kelvin) can never possess real negative values because 0text K represents complete cessation of molecular motion. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Chemistry: Some Basic Concepts of Chemistry
