0.25 g of an organic compound "A" containing carbon, hydrogen and oxygen was analysed using the combustion method. There was an increase in mass of $\mathrm{CaCl}_2$ tube and potash tube at the end of the experiment. The amount was found to be 0.15 g and 0.1837 g , respectively. The percentage of oxygen in compound A is
$\_\_\_\_$ %. (Nearest integer)
(Given: molar mass in $\mathrm{g} \mathrm{mol}^{-1} \mathrm{H}: 1, \mathrm{C}: 12, \mathrm{O}: 16$ )
Explanation:
From combustion:
Increase in mass of CaCl₂ tube = mass of H₂O formed
$ m(\text{H}_2\text{O})=0.15\text{ g},\quad n(\text{H}_2\text{O})=\frac{0.15}{18}=0.008333\text{ mol} $
Moles of H atoms:
$ n(\text{H})=2n(\text{H}_2\text{O})=0.016667\text{ mol} $
Mass of H:
$ m(\text{H})=0.016667\times 1=0.016667\text{ g} $
Increase in mass of potash tube = mass of CO₂ formed
$ m(\text{CO}_2)=0.1837\text{ g},\quad n(\text{CO}_2)=\frac{0.1837}{44}=0.004175\text{ mol} $
Moles of C atoms = moles of CO₂:
$ n(\text{C})=0.004175\text{ mol} $
Mass of C:
$ m(\text{C})=0.004175\times 12=0.05010\text{ g} $
Sample mass = 0.25 g, so mass of oxygen in the compound:
$ m(\text{O}) = 0.25 - (0.016667+0.05010)=0.18323\text{ g} $
Percentage of oxygen:
$ \% \text{O}=\frac{0.18323}{0.25}\times 100=73.29\%\approx \boxed{73\%} $
$x $ $\mathrm{mg}$ of pure HCl was used to make an aqueous solution. 25.0 mL of $0.1 \mathrm{M} \mathrm{Ba}(\mathrm{OH})_2$ solution is used when the HCl solution was titrated against it. The numerical value of $x$ is $\_\_\_\_$ $\times 10^{-1}$. (Nearest integer)
Given : Molar mass of HCl and $\mathrm{Ba}(\mathrm{OH})_2$ are 36.5 and $171.0 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$ respectively.
Explanation:
Balanced equation:
$\mathrm{Ba(OH)_2 + 2HCl \rightarrow BaCl_2 + 2H_2O}$
Moles of $\mathrm{Ba(OH)_2}$ used:
$n_{\mathrm{Ba(OH)_2}}=MV=0.1\times 25.0\times 10^{-3}=2.5\times 10^{-3}\ \text{mol}$
From the equation, $1$ mol $\mathrm{Ba(OH)_2}$ reacts with $2$ mol $\mathrm{HCl}$, so
$n_{\mathrm{HCl}}=2\times 2.5\times 10^{-3}=5.0\times 10^{-3}\ \text{mol}$
Mass of $\mathrm{HCl}$:
$m_{\mathrm{HCl}}=n\times M=5.0\times 10^{-3}\times 36.5=0.1825\ \text{g}$
$0.1825\ \text{g}=182.5\ \text{mg}$
So $x=182.5\ \text{mg}=1825\times 10^{-1}\ \text{mg}$.
Nearest integer $= \boxed{1825}$.

$ \mathrm{C}_4 \mathrm{H}_{10}(\mathrm{~g})+\frac{13}{2} \mathrm{O}_2(\mathrm{~g}) \rightarrow 4 \mathrm{CO}_2(\mathrm{~g})+5 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}(\mathrm{l}) $
If 174.0 kg of butane is mixed with 320.0 kg of $\mathrm{O}_2$, the volume of water formed in liters is
_____________. (Nearest integer)
[Given : (a) Molar mass of C, H, O are $12,1,16 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$ respectively, (b) Density of water $\left.=1 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mL}^{-1}\right]$
Explanation:
The chemical reaction between butane ($\mathrm{C}_4\mathrm{H}_{10}$) and oxygen ($\mathrm{O}_2$) to produce carbon dioxide ($\mathrm{CO}_2$) and water ($\mathrm{H}_2\mathrm{O}$) can be represented by the following equation:
$ \mathrm{C}_4\mathrm{H}_{10}(\mathrm{g}) + \frac{13}{2} \mathrm{O}_2(\mathrm{g}) \rightarrow 4 \mathrm{CO}_2(\mathrm{g}) + 5 \mathrm{H}_2\mathrm{O}(\mathrm{l}) $
Given that we have 174.0 kg of butane and 320.0 kg of oxygen, we are tasked with calculating the volume of water produced in liters.
Mole Calculation for Water:
The stoichiometry of the reaction shows that 5 moles of water are produced per 13/2 moles of oxygen.
Using the moles of oxygen available from input, calculate the moles of water produced:
$ \text{Moles of } \mathrm{H}_2\mathrm{O} = 5 \times \frac{2}{13} \times (10 \times 10^3) $
Mass of Water Produced:
Calculate the mass of water using the molar mass of water (18 g/mol):
$ \text{Mass of } \mathrm{H}_2\mathrm{O} = \left(\frac{10^5}{13}\right) \times 18 $
The result will be:
$ = 1.3846 \times 10^5 \ \text{g} $
Volume of Water:
Convert the mass of water to volume, considering the density of water is $1 \ \text{g/mL}$ (or $1 \ \text{g/L}$):
$ \text{Volume of } \mathrm{H}_2\mathrm{O} = 138.46 \ \text{liters} $
Therefore, the volume of water formed is approximately 138 liters when rounded to the nearest integer.
An organic compound weighing 500 mg , produced 220 mg of $\mathrm{CO}_2$, on complete combustion. The percentage composition of carbon in the compound is _________ $\%$. (nearest integer)
(Given molar mass in $\mathrm{g} \mathrm{mol}^{-1}$ of $\mathrm{C}: 12, \mathrm{O}: 16$ )
Explanation:
Convert the mass of $\mathrm{CO}_2$ to moles:
The molar mass of $\mathrm{CO}_2$ is 44 g/mol. Thus, the number of moles of $\mathrm{CO}_2$ produced is calculated as follows:
$ \mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{CO}_2} = \frac{220 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{g}}{44 \, \text{g/mol}} = 5 \times 10^{-3} \text{ moles} $
Calculate the mass of carbon in $\mathrm{CO}_2$:
Since each mole of $\mathrm{CO}_2$ contains one mole of carbon, the moles of carbon are the same: $5 \times 10^{-3}$ moles. The molar mass of carbon is 12 g/mol, so the mass of carbon is:
$ \mathrm{m}_{\mathrm{C}} = 5 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{moles} \times 12 \, \text{g/mol} = 60 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{g} = 60 \, \text{mg} $
Calculate the percentage composition of carbon:
To find the percentage by mass of carbon in the compound, use the formula:
$ \% \, \text{Carbon} = \left( \frac{60 \, \text{mg}}{500 \, \text{mg}} \right) \times 100 = 12\% $
Thus, the percentage composition of carbon in the compound is approximately 12%.

The percentage of iodine in thyroxine is __________ %. (nearest integer)
(Given molar mass in $\mathrm{g} \mathrm{mol}^{-1} \mathrm{C}: 12, \mathrm{H}: 1, \mathrm{O}: 16, \mathrm{~N}: 14, \mathrm{I}: 127$ )
Explanation:

$\rightarrow$ Molecular mass of Thyroxine $\Rightarrow 777$

Explanation:
$\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{CaCO}_3 \rightarrow \mathrm{CaO}+\mathrm{CO}_2 \\ & \text { mass of } \mathrm{CaCO}_3=\frac{150 \times 75}{100}=112.5 \mathrm{~kg} \\ & =112500 \mathrm{~g} \\ & \mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{CaCO}_3}=1125 \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} & \text { So moles of } \mathrm{CaO}=1125 \\ & \qquad \text { mass of } \mathrm{CaO}=\frac{1125 \times 56}{1000}=63 \mathrm{~kg} \\ & \text { Correct answer } \Rightarrow 63 \end{aligned}$

[Given: Molar mass of $\mathrm{Fe}, \mathrm{S}$ and and O respectively are 56, 32 and $16 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$ ]
Explanation:
Let mass of iron $=\mathrm{w} g$
$\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{w}}{150 \times 10^3} \times 10^6=12 \\ & \Rightarrow \mathrm{w}=150 \times 12 \times 10^{-3}=1.8 \mathrm{gm} \end{aligned}$
Let mass of $\mathrm{FeSO}_4 \cdot 7 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}=\mathrm{w}_1 \mathrm{gm}$
$\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow \text { Moles of } \mathrm{Fe}=\frac{1.8}{56}=\left(\frac{\mathrm{w}_1}{56+96+7 \times 18}\right) \\ & \Rightarrow \mathrm{w}_1=8.935 \mathrm{gm} \end{aligned}$

0.5 g of an organic compound on combustion gave 1.46 g of $\mathrm{CO}_2$ and 0.9 g of $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$. The percentage of carbon in the compound is _______________. (Nearest integer)
[Given : Molar mass (in $\left.\mathrm{g} \mathrm{mol}^{-1}\right) \mathrm{C}: 12, \mathrm{H}: 1, \mathrm{O}: 16$ ]
Explanation:
To determine the percentage of carbon in the organic compound, follow these steps:
Calculate Moles of CO₂:
Given: 1.46 g of CO₂ is produced.
Molar mass of CO₂ = 44 g/mol.
Moles of CO₂ = $\frac{1.46 \text{ g}}{44 \text{ g/mol}}$.
Determine Moles of Carbon Atoms:
Each molecule of CO₂ contains one atom of carbon.
Thus, moles of carbon = moles of CO₂.
Calculate Mass of Carbon:
Molar mass of carbon (C) = 12 g/mol.
Mass of carbon = Moles of carbon × 12 g/mol.
Mass of carbon = $\frac{1.46}{44} \times 12$.
Calculate Percentage of Carbon:
Total mass of the organic compound = 0.5 g.
Percentage of carbon = $\left(\frac{\text{Mass of carbon}}{0.5 \text{ g}}\right) \times 100\%$.
Hence, Percentage of carbon = $\frac{1.46}{44} \times \frac{12}{0.5} \times 100$.
Percentage of carbon = 79.63%.
Therefore, the percentage of carbon in the compound is approximately 80%.
The molarity of a $70 \%$ (mass/mass) aqueous solution of a monobasic acid (X) is _________ $\times 10^{-1}$ M (Nearest integer)
[Given: Density of aqueous solution of (X) is $1.25 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mL}^{-1}$
Molar mass of the acid is $70 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$ ]
Explanation:
Assuming 100 gm solution contain 70 gm solute.
Volume of 100 gm solution will be $\frac{100}{1.25} \mathrm{ml}$.
Molarity $=\frac{70 / 70}{100 / 1.25} \times 1000=12.5$ or $125 \times 10^{-1}$
Quantitative analysis of an organic compound (X) shows following % composition.
C : $14.5 \%$
Cl : 64.46%
H: 1.8 %
(Empirical formula mass of the compound $(\mathrm{X})$ is _________ $\times 10^{-1}$
(Given molar mass in $\mathrm{g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$ of $\mathrm{C}: 12, \mathrm{H}: 1, \mathrm{O}: 16, \mathrm{Cl}: 35.5$)
Explanation:
Identify the given weight percentages from a 100 g sample:
Carbon (C): 14.5 g
Chlorine (Cl): 64.46 g
Hydrogen (H): 1.8 g
Since the sample must sum to 100 g, the remaining mass is from oxygen (O):
$\text{O: } 100 - (14.5 + 64.46 + 1.8) = 100 - 80.76 = 19.24\text{ g}.$
Next, convert these masses to moles using the given atomic masses:
Moles of C:
$\frac{14.5\text{ g}}{12\text{ g/mol}} \approx 1.2083\text{ mol}.$
Moles of Cl:
$\frac{64.46\text{ g}}{35.5\text{ g/mol}} \approx 1.8171\text{ mol}.$
Moles of H:
$\frac{1.8\text{ g}}{1\text{ g/mol}} = 1.8\text{ mol}.$
Moles of O:
$\frac{19.24\text{ g}}{16\text{ g/mol}} \approx 1.2025\text{ mol}.$
Now, find the simplest whole-number ratio by dividing each by the smallest number of moles (approximately 1.2025 mol):
Ratio for C:
$1.2083 / 1.2025 \approx 1.00$
Ratio for O:
$1.2025 / 1.2025 = 1.00$
Ratio for H:
$1.8 / 1.2025 \approx 1.50$
Ratio for Cl:
$1.8171 / 1.2025 \approx 1.51 \approx 1.50$
Since the ratios for H and Cl are about 1.5, multiplying all ratios by 2 will give whole numbers:
C: 1 × 2 = 2
O: 1 × 2 = 2
H: 1.5 × 2 = 3
Cl: 1.5 × 2 = 3
Thus, the empirical formula of the compound is:
$\mathrm{C_2H_3O_2Cl_3}.$
Calculate the empirical formula mass by summing the contributions:
C: $2 \times 12 = 24\text{ g/mol}$
H: $3 \times 1 = 3\text{ g/mol}$
O: $2 \times 16 = 32\text{ g/mol}$
Cl: $3 \times 35.5 = 106.5\text{ g/mol}$
Total mass:
$24 + 3 + 32 + 106.5 = 165.5\text{ g/mol}.$
The problem asks for the empirical formula mass in the form “__ × 10⁻¹”. We can express 165.5 g/mol as:
$165.5 = 1655 \times 10^{-1}\text{ g/mol}.$
Thus, the answer is: $1655 \times 10^{-1}\text{ g/mol}.$

When 81.0 g of aluminium is allowed to react with 128.0 g of oxygen gas, the mass of aluminium oxide produced in grams is ________ . (Nearest integer)
Given :
Molar mass of Al is $27.0 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$
Molar mass of O is $16.0 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$
Explanation:
To determine the mass of aluminum oxide produced, we first consider the chemical reaction between aluminum and oxygen:
$ 4 \text{Al} + 3 \text{O}_2 \rightarrow 2 \text{Al}_2\text{O}_3 $
Given:
Molar mass of Al = 27.0 g/mol
Molar mass of O = 16.0 g/mol
81.0 g of Al and 128.0 g of O$_2$
Calculating moles of reactants:
For aluminum (Al), using its molar mass:
$ \frac{81 \text{ g}}{27 \text{ g/mol}} = 3 \text{ moles of Al} $
For oxygen (O$_2$), using its molar mass (O$_2$ is composed of two oxygen atoms):
$ \frac{128 \text{ g}}{32 \text{ g/mol}} = 4 \text{ moles of O}_2 $
Identifying the limiting reagent:
From the stoichiometry of the reaction:
4 moles of Al react with 3 moles of O$_2$
3 moles of Al require $ \frac{3}{4} \times 3 $ moles of O$_2$ = 2.25 moles of O$_2$
Since only 2.25 moles of O$_2$ are needed by 3 moles of Al, and we have 4 moles of O$_2$, aluminum is the limiting reagent.
Calculating moles of $\text{Al}_2\text{O}_3$ formed:
From the reaction, 4 moles of Al yield 2 moles of $\text{Al}_2\text{O}_3$. Thus:
$ \frac{3}{4} \times 2 = \frac{3}{2} \text{ moles of } \text{Al}_2\text{O}_3 $
Calculating mass of $\text{Al}_2\text{O}_3$:
The molar mass of $\text{Al}_2\text{O}_3$ is:
$ (2 \times 27) + (3 \times 16) = 102 \text{ g/mol} $
So, the mass of $\frac{3}{2}$ moles of $\text{Al}_2\text{O}_3$ is:
$ \frac{3}{2} \times 102 = 153 \text{ grams} $
Thus, the mass of aluminum oxide produced is 153 grams.

Explanation:
$\begin{aligned} & \text { Millimoles of } \mathrm{BaSO}_4=\frac{466}{233}=2 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{~mol} \\ & \% \mathrm{~S}=\frac{\frac{466}{233} \times 32}{160} \times 100=40 \% \end{aligned}$
20 mL of 2 M NaOH solution is added to 400 mL of 0.5 M NaOH solution. The final concentration of the solution is _________ $\times 10^{-2} \mathrm{M}$. (Nearest integer)
Explanation:
To determine the final concentration of the NaOH solution, we use the formula for mixing solutions :
$ M_F = \frac{M_1 \times V_1 + M_2 \times V_2}{V_1 + V_2} $
Where :
$ M_1 = 2 \, \text{M} $ and $ V_1 = 20 \, \text{mL} $: Concentration and volume of the first solution.
$ M_2 = 0.5 \, \text{M} $ and $ V_2 = 400 \, \text{mL} $: Concentration and volume of the second solution.
Substitute the values into the equation:
$ M_F = \frac{2 \times 20 + 0.5 \times 400}{420} $
Calculating each term:
$ 2 \times 20 = 40 $
$ 0.5 \times 400 = 200 $
Add these results:
$ M_F = \frac{40 + 200}{420} = \frac{240}{420} \approx 0.571 \, \text{M} $
Convert this to scientific notation as the problem specifies the answer should be in $ \times 10^{-2} $ form:
$ M_F = 57.1 \times 10^{-2} \, \text{M} $
Rounded to the nearest integer, the final concentration is:
$ 57 $

Its molality will be _________ $\times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~m}$. (nearest integer). [Given density of the solution $=1.25 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{mL}$]
Explanation:
To find the molality of the solution, we need to follow these steps:
1. Determine the number of moles of anhydrous $\mathrm{CuSO}_4$ in the solution.
The molarity (M) is given as $2 \times 10^{-1}$ M in a 500 mL solution. Hence, the number of moles of $\mathrm{CuSO}_4$ is:
$ \text{Moles of } \mathrm{CuSO}_4 = \text{Molarity} \times \text{Volume in liters} = 2 \times 10^{-1} \times 0.5 = 0.1 \text{ moles} $
2. Calculate the mass of the solution using the given density.
The density of the solution is given as $1.25 \mathrm{~g/mL}$. The volume of the solution is 500 mL. Therefore, the mass of the solution is:
$ \text{Mass of solution} = \text{Density} \times \text{Volume} = 1.25 \times 500 = 625 \text{ grams} $
3. Find the mass of the solvent (water) in the solution by subtracting the mass of the solute (anhydrous $\mathrm{CuSO}_4$) from the total mass of the solution.
We know the number of moles of $\mathrm{CuSO}_4$, and we can find its molar mass.
$ \text{Molar mass of } \mathrm{CuSO}_4 = 63.5 + 32 + 4 \times 16 = 159.5 \text{ g/mol} $
Therefore, the mass of $\mathrm{CuSO}_4$ is:
$ \text{Mass of } \mathrm{CuSO}_4 = \text{Number of moles} \times \text{Molar mass} = 0.1 \times 159.5 = 15.95 \text{ grams} $
4. Calculate the mass of the solvent (water):
$ \text{Mass of water} = \text{Mass of solution} - \text{Mass of } \mathrm{CuSO}_4 = 625 - 15.95 = 609.05 \text{ grams} $
Convert the mass of water to kilograms:
$ \text{Mass of water} = 609.05 \text{ grams} = 0.60905 \text{ kilograms} $
5. Calculate the molality using the formula:
$ \text{Molality} (\text{m}) = \frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Mass of solvent in kg}} = \frac{0.1}{0.60905} = 0.164 \text{ mol/kg} $
Converting to the desired unit:
$ \text{Molality} (\text{m}) = 0.164 \times 10^3 = 164 \times 10^{-3} $
Therefore, the molality of the solution is approximately 164 $\times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~m}$.
A solution is prepared by adding 1 mole ethyl alcohol in 9 mole water. The mass percent of solute in the solution is ________ (Integer answer) (Given : Molar mass in $\mathrm{g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$ Ethyl alcohol : 46 water : 18)
Explanation:
To determine the mass percent of the solute (ethyl alcohol) in the solution, we start by calculating the masses of ethyl alcohol and water using their respective molar masses.
The molar mass of ethyl alcohol (C2H5OH) is given as 46 g/mol and the molar mass of water (H2O) is given as 18 g/mol.
First, we calculate the mass of ethyl alcohol:
$\text{Mass of ethyl alcohol} = \text{Number of moles} \times \text{Molar mass}$
$\text{Mass of ethyl alcohol} = 1 \, \text{mol} \times 46 \, \text{g/mol} = 46 \, \text{g}$
Next, we calculate the mass of water:
$\text{Mass of water} = \text{Number of moles} \times \text{Molar mass}$
$\text{Mass of water} = 9 \, \text{mol} \times 18 \, \text{g/mol} = 162 \, \text{g}$
Now, we have the masses of both components of the solution. The total mass of the solution is the sum of the masses of ethyl alcohol and water:
$\text{Total mass of solution} = 46 \, \text{g} + 162 \, \text{g} = 208 \, \text{g}$
Then we calculate the mass percent of the solute (ethyl alcohol) using the formula:
$\text{Mass percent of solute} = \left( \frac{\text{Mass of solute}}{\text{Total mass of solution}} \right) \times 100\%$
$\text{Mass percent of solute} = \left( \frac{46 \, \text{g}}{208 \, \text{g}} \right) \times 100\%$
$\text{Mass percent of solute} = \left( \frac{46}{208} \right) \times 100\% \approx 22.12\%$
Since the integer answer is requested, we round 22.12% to the nearest whole number. Therefore, the mass percent of the solute (ethyl alcohol) in the solution is 22%.
Molality of an aqueous solution of urea is $4.44 \mathrm{~m}$. Mole fraction of urea in solution is $x \times 10^{-3}$, Value of $x$ is ________. (Integer answer)
Explanation:
To determine the mole fraction of urea in a solution where the molality is $4.44 \ \mathrm{m}$, we first need to understand the definitions and relationships involved.
Molality ($\mathrm{m}$) is given by:
$ \mathrm{m} = \frac{\text{moles of solute}}{\text{mass of solvent in kg}} $
Here, the molality is $4.44 \ \mathrm{m}$, which means there are $4.44$ moles of urea (solute) per kilogram of water (solvent).
The next step involves calculating the mole fraction. Mole fraction ($X$) of urea is given by:
$ X_{\text{urea}} = \frac{\text{moles of urea}}{\text{moles of urea} + \text{moles of water}} $
Since we have $4.44$ moles of urea, let's determine the moles of water. The molar mass of water ($\mathrm{H_2O}$) is approximately $18 \ \mathrm{g/mol}$. Therefore, the moles of water in $1 \ \mathrm{kg}$ (or $1000 \ \mathrm{g}$) of water are:
$ \text{Moles of water} = \frac{1000 \ \mathrm{g}}{18 \ \mathrm{g/mol}} \approx 55.56 \ \text{moles} $
We then substitute these values into the mole fraction formula:
$ X_{\text{urea}} = \frac{4.44}{4.44 + 55.56} $
Simplifying the expression inside the denominator first:
$ 4.44 + 55.56 = 60 $
So, the mole fraction of urea becomes:
$ X_{\text{urea}} = \frac{4.44}{60} $
Dividing the values gives us:
$ X_{\text{urea}} \approx 0.074 $
The problem asks for the mole fraction in the form $x \times 10^{-3}$, so we convert our result to this form:
$ X_{\text{urea}} = 74 \times 10^{-3} $
Therefore, the value of $x$ is:
$ \boxed{74} $
