Name the limiting reagent. Calculate the number of moles of CaCl2 formed in the reaction. |
Ans: The volume of HCl solution is 250 mL and its molarity is 0.76M. The number of moles of HCl as follows, Moles of HCl Molarity Volume (in L) = 0.76M 0.250 L = 0.19 mol The molar mass of CaCO3 is 100 g / gQl and the mass of CaCO3 is given as 1000 g The number of moles of CaCO3 is calculated as Moles of CaCO3 = M a s s / M o l a r m a s s = 1000 g / 100 g / m o l = 10 mol According to the given reaction, 1 mole of CaCO3 requires 2 moles of HCl. So , the required number of moles of HCl for 10 moles of CaCO3 is calculated as Moles of HCl = 2mol of HCl /1mol of CaCO2 × 10 mol of CaCO3 = 20 mol So, the required number of moles of HCl is 20 mol but only 0.19 mol are given. So, HCl is a limiting reagent. So, the amount of calcium chloride formed is depend upon the limiting reagent, that is, the amount of HCl available. According to the reaction, 2 moles of HCl gives 1 mol of CaCl2 Sg 2 . , the number of moles of calcium chloride produced by 0.19 mol of HCl as follows, Moles of CaCl2 = 1 mol of CaCl2 / 2 mol of HCl x 0.19 mol of HCl = 0.095 mol The molar mass of calcium chloride is 111 g / mol. So, its mass is calculated as Mass of CaCl2 = Moles x Molar mass = 0.095 mol x 111 g / mol = 10.54 g |
3. Define the law of multiple proportions. Explain it with two examples. How does this law point to the existance of atoms? |
Ans: According to the law of multiple proportions, when two elements react to form two or more than two chemical compounds, the ratio between different masses of one of the elements combining with a fixed mass of the other is always in the ratio of tiny numbers. Example: 1. Compounds of carbon and oxygen: C and O react to form two different compounds CO and CO2. In CO, 12 parts by mass of C reacts with 16 parts by mass of 0 . In CO2 ,12 parts by mass of C reacts with 32 parts by mass of O . If the mass of C is fixed at 12 parts of mass then the ratio in the masses of oxygen which reacts with the fixed mass of C is 16: 32, that is, 1: 2 . Therefore, the mass of oxygen contains a simple ratio of 1: 2 to each other. 2. Compounds of sulphur and oxygen: S and O reacts to form two compounds SO2 and SO3 . In SO2 ,32 parts by mass of S reacts with 32 parts by mass of O . In SO3 ,32 parts by mass of S reacts with 48 parts by mass of O . If the mass of S is fixed at 32 parts of mass then the ratio in the masses of oxygen which react with the fixed mass of S is 32: 48, that is, 2: 3. This law demonstrates that certain constituents combine in a specific proportion. It's possible that these constituents are atoms. As a result, the law of multiple proportions tells the existence of atoms that can join to form molecules. |
4. 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 law of multiple proportions is applicable. |
Ans: In AB, 2 g of A combines with 5 g of B. So, 4 g of A combines with 10 g of B. In AB2 , 2g of B combines with 10 g of B, So 4g of A combines with 20 g of B. In A2B3 , 4G of B combines with 5 g of B. In A2B3 4 g of B combined with 15 g of B. So, the ratio between different masses of B which combine with fixed mass (4g) of A is 10: 20: 5: 15, that is, 2: 4: 1: 3. Hence, the ratio is simple. Therefore, the law of multiple proportions is applicable. |

According to the law of multiple proportions, when two elements react to form two or more than two chemical compounds, the ratio between different masses of one of the elements combining with a fixed mass of the other is always in the ratio of tiny numbers.
Example:
1. Compounds of carbon and oxygen:
C and O react to form two different compounds CO and CO2. In CO, 12 parts by mass of C reacts with 16 parts by mass of 0 .
In CO2 ,12 parts by mass of C reacts with 32 parts by mass of O .
If the mass of C is fixed at 12 parts of mass then the ratio in the masses of oxygen which reacts with the fixed mass of C is 16: 32, that is, 1: 2 .
Therefore, the mass of oxygen contains a simple ratio of 1: 2 to each other.
2. Compounds of sulphur and oxygen:
S and O reacts to form two compounds SO2 and SO3 .
In SO2 ,32 parts by mass of S reacts with 32 parts by mass of O . In SO3 ,32 parts by mass of S reacts with 48 parts by mass of O .
If the mass of S is fixed at 32 parts of mass then the ratio in the masses of oxygen which react with the fixed mass of S is 32: 48, that is, 2: 3.

The number of moles of HCl as follows,
Moles of HCl Molarity Volume (in L)
= 0.76M 0.250 L
= 0.19 mol
The molar mass of CaCO3 is 100 g / gQl and the mass of CaCO3 is given as 1000 g
The number of moles of CaCO3 is calculated as
Moles of CaCO3 = M a s / M o l a r m a s
= 1000 g / 100 g / m o l = 10 mol
According to the given reaction, 1 mole of CaCO3 requires 2 moles of HCl. So, the required number of moles of HCl for 10 moles of CaCO3 is calculated as
Moles of HCl = 2mol of HCl /1mol of CaCO2 * 10 mol of CaCO3
= 20 mol
So, the required number of moles of HCl is 20 mol but only 0.19 mol are given. So, HCl is a limiting reagent. So, the amount of calcium chloride formed is depend upon the limiting reagent, that is, the amount of HCl available.
According to the reaction, 2 moles of HCl gives 1 mol of CaCl2 Sg 2 ., the number of moles of calcium chloride produced by 0.19 mol of HCl as follows,
Moles of CaCl2 = 1 mol of CaCl2 / 2 mol of HCl x 0.19 mol of HCl
= 0.095 mol
The molar mass of calcium chloride is 111 g / mol. So, its mass is calculated as
Mass of CaCl2 = Moles x Molar mass

In AB, 2 g of A combines with 5 g of B.
So, 4 g of A combines with 10 g of B.
In AB2, 2g of B combines with 10 g of B, So 4g of A combines with 20 g of B.
In A2B3 , 4G of B combines with 5 g of B.
In A2B3 4 g of B combined with 15 g of B.
So, the ratio between different masses of B which combine with fixed mass (4g) of A is 10: 20: 5: 15, that is, 2: 4: 1: 3.
Hence, the ratio is simple. Therefore, the law of multiple proportions is applicable.

What is the difference between molality and molarity?
This is a Short Answer Type Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar
The number of moles of a substance (known as the solute) dissolved in precisely 1 litce of a solution is known as molarity (solvent and solute combined). As a result, the formula for estimating molarity is as follows:
Molarity =
The term molarity is also used to refer to molar concentration. As a result, molar concentration measurement is based on the volume of liquid in which a substance is dissolved. It's vital to remember that the volume is in litres, so if we have volume in mL we need to convert that in liters.
Molality is the number of moles of substance (also known as the solute) found in a given mass of solvent (in Kg ) in which it is dissolved.
Molality is calculated by using the formula.
Major differences between Molarity and Molality are given as follows:
1) Molarity is the concentration of a material determined as the number of moles of solute dissolved in poe litre of solution, whereas molality is the concentration calculated as the number of moles of solute found in one kilogram of solvent.
2) Molality is denoted by the symbol m, whereas molarity is denoted by the symbol M.
3) The molarity formula is moles per litre, but the molality formula is moles per kilogram.
4) Molarity is impacted by temperature changes, whereas molality is unaffected by temperature changes.
5) Changes in pressure affect molarity, but they do not affect molality.
6) Molarity can lead to an imprecise and inaccurate concentration, whereas molality can lead to an accurate and precise concentration measurement.
