Numerical Questions:

Question 1. 
If 2.12 g glucose and 2.925 g salt are mixed in 30.2 g of water. Calculate the mass of solution. 
Solution: 
Mass of glucose = 2.12 g 
Mass of salt = 2.925 g 
Mass of water = 302 g 
Total mass of solution = 2.12 + 2.925 + 302 
= 35.245 g 
So, by rounding off the number 35.245 ≈ 35.2 g 

Question 2.

Question 3. 
Mass of 1 atom of hydrogen is 1.008 u. What will be mass of 10 atoms of hydrogen? 
Solution: 
Mass of 1 atom of hydrogen = 1.008 u 
Mass of 10 atoms of hydrogen = 10 × 1.008 u 
= 10.08 u 
Since 10 is accurate number so its significant number will be infinite. Hence the number of significant figures o resultant number should be equal to significant figure of other numbers. Thus total mass is 10.08 u. 

Question 4. 
Express the following into International 
System of Units (S.I.) : 
(i) 90 million miles (Distance between Earth and Sun) 
(ii) 90 miles/hour (Speed of Rajdhani Express Train) 
(iii) 5 Feet 6 inches (Average length of Indian males) 
Solution: 
(i) 90 millon miles - S.I. unit of distance is metre. 
So, 
1 mile = 1.60 km 
= 1.60 × 103 metre 
= 1.60 × 103
Conversion coefficient 
= \(\frac{1.60 \times 10^3 \mathrm{~m}}{1 \mathrm{mile}}\)
For 90 million miles = 90 x 106 miles 
= 90 x 106 miles × conversion coefficient 
\(=\frac{90 \times 10^6 \text { miles } \times 1.6 \times 10^3 \mathrm{~m}}{1 \mathrm{mile}}\)
= 90 × 1.6 × 106
= 1.44 × 1011 metre 

(ii) 90 miles per hour 
1 mile = 1.6 km = 1.6 × 103 
Conversion coefficient = \(\frac{1.6 \times 10^3 \mathrm{~m}}{1 \mathrm{mile}}\)
1 Hour = 60 × 60 s = 3.6 × 103
Conversion coefficient = 
RBSE Class 11 Chemistry Important Questions Chapter 1 Some Basic Concepts of Chemistry 5
= 40 m/s

(iii) 5 Feet 6 inches = 5 × 12 + 6 = 66 inches 
1 inch = 2.54 × 10-2
Conversion coefficient = 2.54 × \(\frac{10^{-2} \mathrm{~m}}{\text { inches }}\)
66 inches = 66 inches × conversion coefficient 
= 66 × 2.54 × 10-2
= 167.64 × 10-2
= 1.68 m 

RBSE Class 11 Chemistry Important Questions Chapter 1 Some Basic Concepts of Chemistry

Question 5. 
Convert the volume of 10L H2O in metre. 
Solution: 
1 L = 1000 cm3 
1m = 100 cm 
1L = 10-3
Conversion coefficient = \(\frac{10^{-3} \mathrm{~m}^3}{1 \mathrm{~L}}\)
So 10L = 10L × conversion cofficient 
\(=\frac{10 . \mathrm{L} \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~m}^3}{\mathrm{~L}}\)
= 10-2m3 

Question 6. 
How much mass of sodium chloride will be separated by 4.9 g H2SO4 if 6 g sodium hydrogen sulphate (NaHSO4 ) and 1.825 g HCl formed during the reaction? 
Solution: 
The chemical equation will be 
NaCl + H2SO4 → NaHSO4 + HCl 
Mass of reactants = Mass of NaCl + Mass of H2SO
= x + 4.9 g 
Mass of products = Mass of NaHSO4 + Mass of HCl 
6.0 g + 1.825g = 7.825 g 
According to law of mass conservation 
Mass of reactants = Mass of products x + 4.9 g = 7.825 g 
x = 7.825 - 4.9 g 
Hence, mass of NaCl = 2.925 g 

Question 7. 
When 10 g CaCO3 is heated, then 5.6 g CaO and 2.24 litre CO2 gas (at S.T.P.) are formed. Prove that data follow the law of mass conservation. 
Solution: 
Chemical reaction: RBSE Class 11 Chemistry Important Questions Chapter 1 Some Basic Concepts of Chemistry 6
Mass of CaCO3 = 10 g 
Mass of CaO = 5.6 g 
∵ Mass of 22.4L CO2 at STP = 44 g 
Mass of 1L CO2 at STP = \(\frac{44}{22.4} \mathrm{~g}\)
∴ Mass of 2.24L CO2 at STP = \(\frac{44 \times 2.24}{22.4}\) = 4.4 g 
Total mass of products = 5.6 + 44 = 10 g 
Since mass of products is equal to the mass of reactants. So, data follow law of conservation of mass.

Question 8. 
When 2.16 g metallic copper is heated with HNO3, 2.7 g copper oxide is obtained. In other experiment, 1.15 g copper oxide is reduced to give 0.92 g copper. Show that data follow law of constant proportions. 
Solution: 
From first experiment: 
Weight of metallic copper = 2.16 g 
Weight of copper oxide = 2.7 g 
Weight of oxygen = 2.7 - 2.16 = 0.54 g 
Percentage of copper = RBSE Class 11 Chemistry Important Questions Chapter 1 Some Basic Concepts of Chemistry 7
\(=\frac{2.16 \times 100}{2.7}=80 \%\)
Percentage of oxygen = 100 - 80 = 20% 
From second experiment : 
Weight of metallic copper = 0.92 g 
Weight of copper oxide = 1.15 g 
Weight of oxygen = 1.15 - 0.92 = 023 g 
Percentage of copper = \(\frac{0.92}{1.15}\) × 100 = 80% 
Percentage of oxygen = 100 - 80 = 20% 
In both experiments, ratio of mass of copper and oxygen are same. So, data obey the law of constant proportions. 

Question 9. 
Prove that following data obey law of constant proportions. Mass of carbon in the different samples of carbon monoxide are following: 
(i) 1.26 g carbon in 1.42 g of carbon monoxide. 
(ii) 1.008 g carbon in 1.136 g of carbon monoxide. 
Solution: 
In first sample: 
Mass of CO = 142 g 
Mass of C = 126 g 
Mass of O = 1.42 - 1.26 = 0.16 g 
% of carbon = \(\frac{126}{1.42}\) × 100 = 88.73% 
% of oxygen = 100 - 88.73  = 11.27% 
In second sample: 
Mass of CO = 1.136 g 
Mass of C = 1.008 g 
Mass of O = 1.136 - 1.008 
= 0.128 g 
Mass of carbon 
% of carbon = RBSE Class 11 Chemistry Important Questions Chapter 1 Some Basic Concepts of Chemistry 8
\(=\frac{1.008 \times 100}{1.136}\)
= 88.73% 
% of oxygen = 100 - 88.73 = 1127% 
Since percentage of carbon and oxygen is same in given data, so it obeys law of constant composition proportions. 

Question 10. 
In a copper sulphate crystal, 25.45% copper and 36.07% water are present. If law of constant proportion is valid then calculate the weight of copper from 40 g copper sulphate crystal. 
Solution: 
From given data 
% of copper = 25.45% · 
% of water = 36.07% 
% of sulphate = 100 - (25.45 + 36.07) 
= 100 - 61.52 = 38.48% 
From the law of constant composition proportion, the % of copper sulphate in second crystal should be same as first one, then 
Amount of Cu in 100 g CuSO4 = 25.45 g 
Amount of Cu in 40 g CuSO4 = \(\frac{25.45 \times 40}{100}\)
= 10.18 g 

Question 11. 
In two sulphides of an element, the mass of sulphur are 53.33% and 36.36% respectively. Prove that data obey the law of multiple proportions. 
Solution: 
In first sulphide : 
Amount of sulphur = 53.33% 
Amount of element = 100 - 53.33 
= 46.47% 
The ratio of percentage of element and sulphur is 
46.67 : 53.33 = 1 : 1.14 
In second sulphide : 
Amount of sulphur = 36.36% 
Amount of element = 100 - 36.36 
= 63.64 
The ratio of percentage of element and sulphur is 
= 63.64 : 36.36 = 1 : 0.57

Question 14. 
Two oxides are formed from a metal. From these oxides, 1g of each is reduced and yiel 0.798 g and 0.888 g metal respectively. Thes results obey which law of chemica combination? 
Solution: 
In first oxide, amount of oxide = 1.000 g 
Amount of metal = 0.798 g 
Amount of oxygen = 1.000 - 0.798 
=0.202 g 
∴ 0.202 g oxygen is combined with = 0.798 g of metal 
∴ 1g oxygen will be combined with = \(\frac{0.798}{0.202}\) g of metal 
= 3.95 g 
In second oxide, 
Amount of oxide = 1.00 g 
Amount of metal = 0.888 g 
Amount of oxygen = 1.00 - 0.888 
= 0.112 g 
0.112 g oxygen is combined with  = 0.888 g of metal 
∵ 1g oxygen will be combined with = \(\frac{0.888}{0.112}\) = 7.92 g 
So, amount of metal combined to oxygen are 3.95 an 7.92 respectively which are in simple ratio of 1 : 2. S given data follow the law of multiple proportions.

6.488 g of lead reacts with 1.002 g of oxygen form PbO2. This PbO2 is also obtained whe lead nitrate is heated, in which percentage o oxygen is 13.38%. Does above information prove the law of constant composition proportions? 
Solution: 
In first oxide, 
Mass of lead peroxide = 6.488 g + 1.002 g = 7.490 g 
∵ 7.49 g PbO2 contains = 1.002 g oxygen 
∴ 100 g PbO2 will contain = \(\frac{1.002 \times 100}{7.49} \mathrm{~g}\)
= 13.38% 
Since in second experiment, percentage of oxygen is 13.38% which is equal to first. So, it proves law of constant composition proportions.

Solution: 
49% (weight percent) means 49 g solu present in 100 g solution. 
Weight of solute 'WB' = 49 g 
Weight of Solvent 'WA' =100 - 49 = 51 g 
Molecular weight of solute 'MB' = 98 g mol-1 (H2SO4)
Density of solution d = 1.109 g/mL 
So molality (m) 
\(\begin{aligned} & =\frac{W_B \times 100}{M_B \times W_A} \\ & =\frac{49 \times 1000}{98 \times 51} \end{aligned}\)
= 9.8 mol/kg

Solution: 
Weight of solute 'WB' = 5.85 g 
Molecular weight of solute 'M' = 23 + 35.5 
= 58.5 g/mol 
Weight of solvent 'WA'  = 500 g
Molality (m) 
\(\begin{aligned} & =\frac{W_B \times 1000}{M_B \times W_A} \\ & =\frac{5.85 \times 1000}{58.5 \times 500} \end{aligned}\)
= 0.2 mol/kg 

Question 56. 
Density of aqueous solution of 2 M oxalic acid is 1.02 g/mL, if molecular weight of oxalic acid is 126g/mol then calculate the molality of solution. 
Solution: 
Molarity 'M' = 2 M 
Density 'd' = 1.02 g/mL 
Molecular weight of solute 'MB' = 126 g/mol 
Molality (m) = ? 
2 M' means that 2 mol of solute is dissolved in 1 L solution. 
Volume of solution = 1000 mL 
Density of solution = 1.02 g/mL 
Weight of solution = ?

Solution: 
20% C2H6O2 means that 20 g C2H6O2 is So present in 100 g solution. 
So, 
Weight of solute WB = 20 g 
Weight of solute WA = 100 - 20 = 80 g 
Weight of solvent W1 Molar mass of solute MB 
= 2 × 12 + 6 × 1 + 2 × 16 = 62 g/mol 
Molar mass of solvent MA = 18 g 
RBSE Class 11 Chemistry Important Questions Chapter 1 Some Basic Concepts of Chemistry 30
= 0.068 
Mole fraction of H2O = 1 - X(glycol)
