Answer: The chemical equation for the combustion of carbon in dioxygen present in air is :
NCERT Solutions for Class 11 Chemistry Chapter 1 Some Basic Concepts of Chemistry 3
(i) When 1 mole of carbon is burnt in air
1 mole of carbon will form C02 = 1 mol = 44 g
(ii) When 1 mole of carbon is burnt in 16 g of dioxygen
For 1 mole of carbon, dioxygen required = 32 g = 1 mol
But the mass of dioxygen available = 16 g = 1/2 mol .
This means that dioxygen is in limited amount or-it is the limiting reactant.
Since dioxygen and carbon react in the same ratio, therefore mass of CO2 formed = 1/2 mol = 22 g
(iii) When 2 moles of carbon are burnt in 16 g of dioxygen
For 2 moles of carbon, dioxygen required = 64 g = 2 mol
But the mass of dioxygen available = 16 g =  1/2 mol
This means that dioxygen is in limited amount or it is the limiting reactant.
∴ Mass of C02 formed = 1/2 mol = 22 g

= 63.5 + 32 + 4 × 16
= 159.5 u
Gram molecular mass of CuSO4 = 159.5 g
Now, 159-5 g of CuSO4 have Cu = 63.5 g
∴ 100 g of CuSO4 have Cu = (63.5 g) × 100 g / 159.5 g = 39.81 g

Question 8. Determine the molecular formula of an oxide of iron in which the mass percent of iron and oxygen are 69.9 and 30.1 respectively.

Question 16. What do you understand by significant figures?
Answer: We have seen that every measurement done in the laboratory involves the same error or uncertainty depending upon the limitation of the measuring instrument. In order to report scientific data, the term ‘significant figures’ has been used. According to this, all digits repotted in a given data are certain except the last one which is uncertain or doubtful. For example, let us suppose that the reading as reported by a measuring scale is 11-64. It has four digits in all. Out of the 1, 1, and 6 are certain digits while the last digit ‘4’ is uncertain. Thus, the number may be reported as follows :
NCERT Solutions for Class 11 Chemistry Chapter 1 Some Basic Concepts of Chemistry 14
Thus, the significant figures in any number are all certain digits plus one doubtful digit.
It may be noted all digits reported in a number are significant. However, only the last digit is uncertain while the rest are certain. Thus, the number 11-64 has all four digits as significant figures. Out of the 1, 1 and 6 are certain while 4 has some uncertainty about it.

(iii) 5 moles of A + 2.5 moles of B2
(iv) 2.5 moles of A + 5 moles of B2
(v) 2 moles of A + 3 moles of B2.
Answer:
NCERT Solutions for Class 11 Chemistry Chapter 1 Some Basic Concepts of Chemistry 21

In the light of the above information, let us find the limiting reactant if any in all the cases
(i) 1 atom of A will react with molecules of B2 =1
300 atoms of A will react with molecules of B2 = 300
But the molecules of B2 actually available = 200
∴B2 is the limiting reactant.

(ii) 1 atom of A will react with molecules of B2 = 1
100 atoms of A will react with molecules of B2 = 100
The molecules of B2 actually available = 100
∴There is no limiting reactant in this case.

(iii) 1 mole of A will react with moles of B2 =1
5 moles of A will react with moles of B2 =5
But the moles of B2 actually available = 2.5
∴B2 is the limiting reactant.

(iv) 1 mole of A will react with moles of B2 =1
2.5 moles of A will react with moles of B2 = 2.5
But moles of B2 actually available = 5
This shows that 5 moles of A can react whereas only 2.5 moles of A are actually available.
∴A is the limiting reactant.

(v) 1 mole of A will react with moles of B2 = 1
2 moles of A will react with moles of B = 2
But the moles of B2 actually available = 3
This shows that 3 moles of A can react whereas only 2 moles of A are actually available.
∴ A is the limiting reactant.

Question 24. Nitrogen and hydrogen react to form ammonia according to the reaction
N2 (g) + 3H2 (g) →2NH3(g)
If 1000 g of H2 react with 2000 g of N2,
(i) will any of the two reactants remain unreacted ? If yes, which one and what would be its mass ?
(ii) Calculate the mass of ammonia (NH3) which will be formed.
Answer:
NCERT Solutions for Class 11 Chemistry Chapter 1 Some Basic Concepts of Chemistry 22

According to available data,
28 g of N2 require H2 = 6 g
2000 g of N2 require H2 = (6g) x \(\frac { 2000 g }{ 28 g }\)=428.6 g
But H2 actually available = 1000 g
This means that H2 is in excess and will remain unreacted.
(i) Mass of H2 that remains unreacted = 1000 – 428.6 = 571.4 g
(ii) Mass of NH3 formed may be calculated as follows :
6 g of H2 will form NH3 = 34 g
428.6 g H2 will form NH3 = (34g) x \(\frac { 428.6 g }{ 6.0 g }\) = 2428.8 g

(i) 1 g of Au
(ii) lg of Na
(iii) 1 g of Li
(iv) lg of Cl2

Answer:
(i) 197 g of Au have atoms = 6.022 x 1023
∴ l g of Au has atoms = 6.022 × 1023 × 1 g / 197g = 3.06 x 1021
(ii) 23 g of Na have atoms = 6.022 × 1023
1 g of Na has atoms = 6 -022 × 1023 × 1 g / 23g = 2.62 x 1022 atoms
(iii) 71 g of Cl2 have molecules = 6.022 × 1023
71 g of Cl2 have atoms = 2 × 6.022 x 1023
1 g of Cl2 has atoms = 2 × 6.022 × 1023 x 1 g / 71g = 1.67 × 1022 atoms
Thus, 1 g of lithium (Li) has the largest number of atoms.

Question 29. Calculate the molarity of a solution of ethanol in water in which mole fraction of ethanol is 0.04.

NCERT Solutions for Class 11 Chemistry Chapter 1 Some Basic Concepts of Chemistry 30

Step II. Determination of empirical formula of fuel gas.NCERT Solutions for Class 11 Chemistry Chapter 1 Some Basic Concepts of Chemistry 31
Empirical formula of the fuel gas = CH.

Step III. Calculation of molecular mass of fuel gas.
10.0 L of the fuel gas at N.T.P. weigh = 11.6 g
22.4 L of the fuel gas at N.T.P. weigh = 11.6 / 10.0 × 24.4 =25.98 g
Molecular mass of the fuel gas = 25.98 g (approx.) 26.0 g = 26 u

Step IV. Calculation of molecular formula of the gas.
Empirical formula mass = 12 + 1 = 13 u
Molecular mass = 26 u
n = Molecular mass / Empirical formula mass × 126 / 13 = 2
∴ Molecular formula = n × Empirical formula = 2 × CH = C2H2
The molecular formula of fuel gas is C2H2 and it is acetylene.
