Hydrogen combines with oxygen to form $H _2O$ in which 16 g of oxygen combine with 2 g of hydrogen. Hydrogen also combines with carbon to form $CH _4$ in which 2 g of hydrogen combine with 6 g of carbon.If carbon and oxygen combine together then they will do show in the ratio of 

  1. 13 : 32

  2. 6 : 16

  3. 1 : 2

  4. 12 : 24

B Correct answer
Explanation

From H2O: 2g H reacts with 16g O. From CH4: 2g H reacts with 6g C. Therefore, 6g C reacts with 16g O. The ratio of C:O is 6:16.

In Haber's process, the volume of ammonia relative to the total volume of reactants at STP is:

  1. one fourth

  2. one half

  3. same

  4. three fourth

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

This reaction occurs in Haber's process-


$N _2$ + $3H _2$ $\rightarrow$ $2NH _3$

The total volume of reactants at STP is 4x

The volume of ammonia is 2x.

Hence, Volume of ammonia = $\dfrac{1}{2}$(Volume of reactant)

$2.16$ grams of Cu, on reaction with $HNO _{3}$, followed by ignition of the nitrate, gave $2.7$ g of copper oxide. In another experiment $1.15$ g of copper oxide, upon reaction with hydrogen, gave $0.92$ g of copper. This data illustrate the law of:

  1. multiple proportions

  2. definite proportions

  3. reciprocal proportions

  4. conservation of mass

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

In the first sample of copper oxide (obtained by the action of nitric acid on Cu), the mass of Cu is 2.16 g and the mass of oxygen is $\displaystyle 2.7 - 2.16  =  0.54$ g. 

The ratio of the mass of Cu to the mass of oxygen is $\displaystyle \dfrac {2.16}{0.54} = 4 :1$

In the second sample of copper oxide (which reacts with hydrogen) , the mass of Cu is 0.92 g and the mass of oxygen is $\displaystyle 1.15 - 0.92  =  0.23$ g. 
The ratio of the mass of Cu to the mass of oxygen is $\displaystyle \dfrac {0.92}{0.23} = 4 :1$
Hence, this illustrates the law of definite Proportions.

An experiment showed that a lead chloride solution is formed when 6.21 g of lead combines with 4.26 g of chlorine. What is the empirical formula of this chloride? 

[Pb = 207; Cl = 35.5]

  1. $PbCl _3$
  2. $PbCl _2$
  3. $PbCl _4$
  4. $PbCl$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation
  Mass        Atomic weight    Relative no. of moles    Simplest ratio
Lead           6.21 g        207     6.21/207 = 0.03    0.03/0.03 = 1
Chlorine 4.26 g        35.5     4.26/35.5 = 0.12    0.12/0.03 = 4


Hence, empirical formula is $PbCl _4$

Common salt obtained from Clifton beach contained $60.75\%$ chlorine while $6.40$ g of a sample of common salt from Khewra mine contained $3.888$ g of chlorine. State the law illustrated by these chemical combinations.

  1. Law of reciprocal proportion

  2. Law of multiple proportion

  3. Law of constant composition

  4. None of the above

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

First case :


Common salt from Clifton beach contains $=$ $60.75\%$ $Cl _2$

$100$ g of salt $=60.75$ g of $Cl _2$

$1$ g of salt $=\dfrac {60.75}{100}=0.6075$ g of $Cl _2$

Second case :


$6.40$ g of $NaCl$ from Khewra mine $=3.888$ g of $Cl _2$

$1$ g of $NaCl$ from Khewra mine $=\dfrac {3.888}{6.40}=0.6075$ g of $Cl _2$

Thus, the weight of $Cl _2$ in $1$ g of salt in both the cases is same. Hence, the law of constant composition is verified.


Hence the correct option is C.

A sample of calcium carbonate $\displaystyle \left ( CaCO _{3} \right )$ has the percentage composition as given: $Ca = 40\%,\ C = 12\%,\ O = 48\%$. 


If the law of constant proportions is true, then the weight of calcium in $4$ g of a sample of calcium carbonate obtained from another source will be :

  1. $0.016$ g
  2. $0.16$ g
  3. $1.6$ g
  4. $16$ g
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

In $100 $ g $\displaystyle CaCO _{3}$, weight of $Ca$ is $40 $ g.

In $4$ g $\displaystyle CaCO _{3}$, weight of $Ca$ is $=\displaystyle \frac{40}{100}\times 4=1.6$ g

Hence, the correct option is $C$
