  1. For the reaction 3Fe + 4H2O ⟶ Fe3O4 + 4H2, how many moles of iron oxide are produced from 500 g of iron?

Solution : Balancing is making the number of atoms of each element same on both the sides (reactant and product side).

To find the number of atoms of each element we multiply coefficient * subscript

For example contains

5 ,Ca atoms and 5*2=10, Cl atoms

If there is a bracket in the chemical formula

For example we multiply coefficient * subscript * number outside the bracket.......... to find the number of atoms (Please note: 3 is the coefficient, and if there is no number given then 1 will be the coefficient )

So 3*3 =9 , Ca atoms

3*1*2=6, P atoms

3*4*2= 24, O atoms are present.

So

The balanced chemical equation is

  1. Two physical change in which the identitiy of a substance stays the same

Solution :Physical change is a change in which we see no change in the composition of the substance.

For example

On heating solid Ice, changes into liquid water. On further heating liquid water changes into water vapour(steam).

liquid water changes into water vapour

Ice, water, steam all have the chemical formula H2O.

There is no change in the chemicla formula of the substance and no new substance gets formed.

A chemical change is the change in which a new substance gets formed. For example

3Fe + 4H20 > 1 Fe3 O4 + 4H2

here you see

Cutting and mixing are the two physical changes in which we see the identity of the substance remains same.(Answer)

Identity in the sense no change in the appearance or color of the material.

  1. What are the 2 atomic particles given off as a result of nuclear fission are _____ and _____. alpha beta gamma omega

Solution : alpha and beta particles .

Gamma is a ray. There is no particle like omega.

An alpha particles is identical to a Helium nucleus containing 2 protons and 2 neutrons.

A beta particle is identical to an electron. Beta decay,which the emission of an electron or a positron (a particle identical to an electron except that it has a positive electrical charge).

Many heavy nuclei emit an energetic alpha particle when they decay. For instance uranium-238 decays into thorium-234 with a half-life of almost 4.5 billion years by emitting an alpha particle.

Thorium-234,which is the decay product of uranium-238, in turn beta-decays into protactinium-234 by emitting an electron.

Heavy atoms such as uranium or plutonium can be split by bombarding them with neutrons. The resultant fragments, called fission products, are of intermediate atomic weight, and have a combined mass that is slightly smaller than the original nucleus. The difference appears as energy.

  1. A balloon inflated in a room at 293 K has a volume of 4.0 L. The balloon then increases to 5.0 L. What is the new temperature if the pressure remains constant?

Solution :

According to Charle’s law,

For a given amount of gas at constant Pressure (P)

Volume is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas.

It is given by the expression

V α T ( at constant V and n)

V/T=k (k is a constant )

When there is a change in the volume or temperature

The expression is V1/T1 =V2/T2

The expression is

Where V1 and V2 are initial Volume and final Volume respectively
T1 and T2 are initial and final temperatures respectivley

Please Note: Directly proportional means when one increases the other one too will increase that is when volume increases temperature too will increases if Pressure is constant.

V1=4.0L
T1=293K
V2=5.0L
T2=?
rearranging the formula
T2=(V2 T1)/V1
Plugging in the values T2=(5.0L×293K)/4.0L=366.25K=366K or 93℃ (Answer)

Here we see as volume increases from 4.0 L to 5.0L temperature too increases from 293K to 366K.

  1. The formula of a compound is M(OH)2. Given that the Mr of the compound is 98, calculate the Ar of M.
    A)64
    B)16
    C)8
    D)32

Solution :

Mr stands for the molecular mass of the compound which is =98

Ar stands for the atomic mass of the atom = ? we are asked to find.

Molecular mass of the compound =sum of the atomic mass of the atoms present in the molecular formula.

For example

{`
CO2 is the molecular formula of Carbon dioxide
Molecular mass calculations:
1,C atom =12.01 amu
2,O atoms =15.999amu time 2=31.999amu
So molecular mass of CO_2=(12.01+31.999)amu=44.01 amu
H2 SO4  is the molecular formula of sulphuric acid
Molecular mass calculations:
2,H atoms =1.008amu  times 2 =2.016 amu
1,S atom =32 amu
4,O atoms =4 times 15.999 =63.996 amu
So molecular mass of H2 SO4=(2.016+32+63.996)amu=98.01 amu
`}

Now let us work on the problem now,

{`
M(OH)2 contains 1,M atom 2,O atoms and 2,H atoms
Molecular mass  =atomic mass of M +(2×atomic mass of O )+ (2×atomic mass of H)
So, 98=atomic massof M+(2×15.999)+(2×1.008)
98=atomic mass of M +31.999+2.016
Atomic mass of M =98-(31.999+2.016)
=63.985 amu
=64amu Option A (Answer)

12.Sodium hydroxide and magnesium chloride react as shown by this equation:
2NaOH + MgCl2 + Mg(OH)2 + 2Naci.
Suppose the reaction begins with 637 mililiters of 1.35 M sodium hydroxide solution and excess magnesium hydroxide.
What is the theoretical yield of magnesium hydroxide if the resulting solution has a volume of 2.82 liters? Use the periodic table and the
polyatomic ion resource.
The mass of magnesium hydroxide formed is
grams.

Solution :

The balanced chemical equation is

{`
2NaOH + MgCl2  > Mg(OH)2  + 2NaCl.
The conversions are
Molarity of NaOH and volume gives us moles NaOH
Moles NaOH to moles Mg(OH)_2 (using mole ratio 2:1)
Moles Mg(OH)2 to Mass Mg(OH)2 (by multiplying with molarmass )
Molarity  NaOH =(moles solute NaOH)/(volume of solution in L)
Rearranging the formula
We get moles NaOH=Molarity×volume=1.35M×637mL=1.35 mol/L×0.637L=0.85995 mol NaOH
moles Mg(OH)_2=1/2×moles NaOH=1/2×0.85995 moles=0.429975moles Mg(OH)_2
mass Mg(OH)_2=moles ×molarmass=0.429975 moles×58.3  g/mol  =25.1 g (Answer)
`}

Theoretical yield is the yield which we get through calculations.

So 25.1g is the theoretical yield .

  1. 13. A 2.50 mole quantity of NOCl was initially in a 1.50 L reaction chamber at 400°C. After equilibrium was established, it was found that 28.0 percent of the NOCl had dissociated. 2 NOCl(g) equilibrium reaction arrow 2 NO(g) + Cl2(g) Calculate the equilibrium constant Kc for the reaction.
{`
Molarity of NOCl  initially =moles/(volume )=2.50mol/(1.50 L)=1.67M

2NOCl                <=>2NO+              Cl2
Initial            1.67M               0                      0
Change             -2x                 +2x                    +x
Equilibrium       1.67M-2x             +2x                    +x
28% of 2.50mol =28% ×2.50mol/(100%)=0.7 mol dissociated
2.50mol  -0.7 mol  = 1.8 mol left undissociated
So at equilibrium  M of NOCl =(1.8mol )/(1.50L )=1.2M =1.67M-2x
Simplifying for x we have,
1.2M -1.67M = -2x
0.47M =2x
So, x=0.235M
At equilibrium,
[NOCl] =1.2M
[NO] =2x =0.47M
[Cl2] =x =0.235M
Kc=([NO]2  [Cl2])/[NOCl]2 =((0.47)2 (0.235))/(1.2)2 =0.0360 or 3.60×10(-2) (Answer)
