Case Based MCQs
1. Read the passage given below and
answer the following questions: The identity of a substance is defined not only by the
types of atoms or ions it contains, but by the quantity of each type of atom or ion. The
experimental approach required the introduction of a new unit for amount of sub-
stances, the mole, which remains indispensable in modern chemical science. The
mole is an amount unit similar to familiar units like pair, dozen, gross, etc. It provides
a specific measure of the number of atoms or molecules in a bulk sample of matter. A
mole is defined as the amount of substance containing the same number of discrete
entities (atoms, molecules, ions, etc.) as the number of atoms in a sample of pure 12C
weighing exactly 12g. One Latin connotation for the word "mole" is "large mass" or
"bulk," which is consistent with its use as the name for this unit. The mole provides a
link between an easily measured macroscopic property, bulk mass, and an extremely
important fundamental property, number of atoms, molecules and so forth.
The number of entities composing a mole has been experimentally determined to be
6.02214179 × 10236.02214179 × 1023, a fundamental constant named Avogadro's
number (N) or the Avogadro constant in honor of Italian scientist Amedeo Avogadro.
This constant is properly reported with an explicit unit of “per mole," a conveniently
rounded version being 6.022×1023/mol 6.022×1023/mol. Consistent with its definition
as an amount unit, 1 mole of any element contains the same number of atoms as 1
mole of any other element. The masses of 1 mole of different elements, however, are
different, since the masses of the individual atoms are drastically different.
The molar mass of an element (or compound) is the mass in grams of 1 mole of that
substance, a property expressed in units of grams per mole (g/mol).

cal reaction is a change in which one or more substance(s) react(s) to form new
substance(s) with entirely different properties.
A chemical equation is a brief representation of a chemical reaction in terms of sym-
bols and formulae of substances involved in it, e.g. the reaction of silver nitrate with
sodium chloride to give silver chloride and sodium nitrate can be represented as
AgNO3 + NaCl -------> AgCl + NaNO3
The substances which react among themselves to bring about the chemical changes
are known as reactants whereas, the substances which are produced the chemical
change, are known as products. as a result of Reactants and products of a chemical
equation are separated by arrow pointing towards the products. Quantitative informa-
tion conveyed by a chemical equation is as follows:
• The relative number of reactant and product species (atoms or molecules) taking
part in the reaction.
• The relative number of moles of the reactants and products.
• The relative masses of the reactants and products.
• The relative volumes of gaseous reactants and products.
The reactant which is present in the lesser amount and gets consumed after some-
time, i.e. which limits the amount of product formed is called the limiting reagent. The
reactant other than the limiting reagent, which is in somewhat excess is called the
excess reagent. The remaining amount of excess reagent is calculated by subtracting
the available amount of limiting reagent from the
amount of the excess reagent.
Remember that in stoichiometric calculations, it is very important to choose the
limiting reagent.
