1.0 g of magnesium is burnt with 0.56 g of O2 in a closed vessel. Which reactant is left in excess and how much?

  • Mg, 0.16 g

  • O2, 0.16 g

  • Mg, 0.44 g

  • O2, 0.28 g

Solution

A.

Mg, 0.16 g

The balanced chemical equation is 
Mg + 1/2O2 --> MgO
24g    16 g        40g
From the above equation, it is clear that,
24 f Mg reacts with 16 g O2
thus, 1.0 g Mg reacts with

10 g of hydrogen and 64 of oxygen were filled in a steel vessel and exploded. Amount of water produced in this reaction will be


  • 2 mol

  • 3 mol

  • 4 mol

  • 1 mol

Solution

C.

4 mol

Question
CBSEENCH11008328

20.0 g of a magnesium carbonate sample decomposes on heating to give carbon dioxide and 8.0 g magnesium oxide. What will be the percentage purity of magnesium carbonate in the sample? (Atomic weight of Mg =24)

  • 75

  • 96

  • 60

  • 84

Solution

D.

84

In the given problem we have a practical yield of MgO. For calculation of percentage yield of MgO. we need a therortical yield of MgO. For this, we shall use mole concept.
MgCO3(s) → MgO (s) + CO2(g)  .. (i)

6.02 x 1020 molecules of urea are present in 100 mL of its solution. The concentration of solution is

  • 0.02 M

  • 0.01 M

  • 0.001 M

  • 0.1 M

Solution

B.

0.01 M

Given, number of molecules of urea =6.02 x 1020
therefore ,Number of moles

Question
CBSEENCH11008433

An element, X has the following isotopic composition;


200X: 90%

199X : 8.0%

202X ; 2.0 %

The weighted average atomic mass of the naturally -occurring element X is closet to:

  • 200 amu

  • 201 amu

  • 202 amu

  • 199 amu

Solution

A.

200 amu

Weight of  200X = 0.90 x 200 = 180.00 amu
Weight of 199X  = 8.08 x 199 = 15.92 amu
Weight 0f  202X =  0.02 x 202 = 4.04 amu
Total weight = 199.06 = 200 amu
