Topic : Basic concepts of Chemistry Subject : Chemistry Worksheet 01
Reason: - The empirical formula represents the simplest whole number ratio of various atoms present in a
compound.
2) Assertion: - One atomic mass unit is defined as one twelfth of the mass of one carbon -12 atom.
Reason: - Carbon- 12 isotope is the most abundant isotope of carbon and has been chosen as standard.
3) Assertion: - Significant figure for 0.200 is 3 whereas for 200 it is 1.
Reason: - Zero at the end or right of a number are significant provided they are not on the right side of the decimal
point.
5) Assertion: - Gay Lussac’s law is used for stoichiometric calculations in liquid state reactions.
Reason: - Under similar conditions of temperature and pressure, equal volumes of all gases contain equal number of
molecules .
6) Assertion: - In a gaseous reaction, the ratio by volumes of reactants and gaseous products is in agreement with their
molar ratio.
Reason: - Volume of gas is inversely proportional to its number of moles at particular temperature and pressure
7) Assertion: - Both 106 grams of sodium carbonate and 12 grams of carbon have the same number of carbon atoms.
Reason: - Both contain one gram atom of carbon which has 6.023 X 1023 carbon atoms.
8) Assertion: - A molecule is the smallest particle of an element or compound that can have a stable and independent
existence.
Reason:- The molecule is the smallest particle which can take part in a chemical reaction.
9) Assertion: - The theoretical yield of a reaction is the amount of the product produced by the balanced equation
when whole of the limiting reagent has reacted.
Reason: - In practice actual yield is always less than the theoretical yield.
10) Assertion: - Empirical formula represents the simplest relative whole number ratio of the atoms of each element
present in a molecule of the substance.
Reason: - Empirical formula can be equal to molecular formula when molecular formula mass becomes equal to
empirical formula mass.
22) A pure sample of limestone was found to contain 40% calcium, 12% Carbon and 48% oxygen. Following the law of
Definite proportions ,find out the weight of calcium ,carbon and oxygen in 5 g of another sample of pure limestone.
23) Elements X and Y combine to form three different compounds: 0.3 g of X combines with 0.4 g of Y to form 0.7 g of
compound A. 18 g of X combines with 48 g of Y to form 66 g of compound B. 40 g of X combines with 159.99 g of Y
to form 199.99 g of compound C. Show that the data illustrates the law of multiple proportions.
24) An organic compound contains 4 % sulphur. Calculate its minimum molecular mass.
25) What is the mole fraction of the solute in 2.5 m aqueous solution?
26) Concentrated HNO3 is 69% by mass. What is the volume of the solution which contains 23 g concentrated HNO3?
Density of conc HNO3 is 1.41 g/cc.
27) Fe2 (SO4)3 is used in sewage water treatment. Calculate the mass % of iron, sulphur and oxygen in this compound.
28) 1.615 g of an anhydrous inorganic salt is kept in moist air. The salt gets completely hydrated and its mass becomes
2.875 g. The mass % of anhydrous salt is Zn = 40.6, S = 19.8 and O = 39.6. What is the empirical formula of hydrated
salt ?
29) 80 g H2 and 80 g O2 are made to react to form water. Which is limiting reactant? Calculate the moles of water
formed.
30) 1.5g of impure sodium sulphate on treating with excess of barium chloride solution gives 1.74 g BaSO4. What is the
% purity of sodium sulphate in the sample?
