Exercise 1

A box contains some identical red coloured balls, labelled as A, each weighing 2 grams. Another box contains identical blue coloured balls, labelled as B, each weighing 5 grams. Consider the combinations AB, AB2, A2B and A2B3 and show that the law of multiple proportions is applicable.

AB ab2 A,B A2B3 Mass of A (in g) 2 2 4 415 Mass of B (in g) 5 10 5   According to the law of multiple proportions, Masses of B combines with a constant mass of A are 10g, 20g, 5g, 15g Simple...

Assertion (A): Significant figures for 0.200 is 3 whereas for 200 it is 1. Reason (R): Zero at the end or right of a number are significantly provided they are not on the right side of the decimal point. (i) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A. (ii) Both A and R are true but R is not a correct explanation of A. (iii) A is true but R is false. (iv) Both A and R are false.

Correct Answer: (iii) A is true but R is false Explanation: Zero at the end of a number without the decimal point is not significantly based on the rate of accuracy.

The reactant which is entirely consumed in the reaction is known as limiting reagent. In the reaction 2A + 4B → 3C + 4D, when 5 moles of A react with 6 moles of B, then (i) which is the limiting reagent? (ii) calculate the amount of C formed?

(i) The reactant B is the the limiting reagent. (ii) Calculation: Let us consider that the reactant B got completely consumed as it is the limiting reagent. 4 mol of B gives 3 mol of C 6 mol of B...
