Atoms and Molecules Question Answers: NCERT Class 9 Science

Exercise 1
Q:
A:

Law of conservation of mass: Mass can neither be created nor be destroyed in a chemical reaction.

Given reaction: sodium carbonate + ethanoic acid → sodium ethanoate + carbon dioxide + water

Total mass of reactants = 5.3 + 6 = 11.3 g.

Total mass of products = 8.2 + 2.2 + 0.9 = 11.3 g 

Total mass of reactants = Total mass of products

Hence, these observation are in agreement with the law of conservation of mass.


Q:
A:

Given,

Ratio of hydrogen and oxygen by mass = 1:8 

Mass of oxygen gas that completely reacts with 1g of hydrogen gas is equal to 8 g i.e Mass of oxygen gas that completely reacts with 3 g of hydrogen gas

= 8 x 3 = 24g. 

Hence, 24 g mass of oxygen gas is required to react completely with 3 g of hydrogen gas.


Q:
A:

Postulate of Dalton's atomic theory: Atoms are indivisible particles which cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction. It is the result of the law of conservation of mass.


Q:
A:

The postulate of Dalton's theory, "The relative numbers and finds of atoms are content in a given compound” can explain the law of definite proportion.

Exercise 4
Q:
A:

Atomic mass includes the masses of three subatomic particles which make up an atom i.e. proton, neutron and electron.

Unit of atomic mass is 'u'

‘u’ = unified atomic mass unit & 1/12 th mass of single carbon-12 atom 

‘u’ = 1.66 x 10-24 g

(Just for understanding - Atomic mass approximately equal to twice of atomic no.)

Molecular mass of a substance is the sum of atomic masses of all the atoms in a molecule of a subitance.

Unit of molecular mass = 'u’

Molecular mass of H2 = 2 x 1 = 2u (Atomic mass of H=1)

Molecular mass of O2 = 16 x 2 = 32 u (Atomic mass of O=16)

Molecular Mass of Cl2 = 35.2 x 2 = 71 u (Atomic mass of Cl = 35.5)

Molecular Mass of CO2 = 12 x 1 + 16 x 2

                = 12 + 32 = 44 u ( Atomic Mass of C = 12)

Molecular Mass of CH4 = 12 x 1 + 4 x 1

               = 12 + 4 = 16 u

Molecular Mass of C2H6 = 12 x 2 + 6 x 1

               = 24 + 6 = 30 u 

Molecular Mass of C2H4 = 12 x 2 + 4 x 1

               = 24 + 4 = 28 u

Molecular Mass of  NH3 = 14 X 1 + 3 x 1

               = 14 x 3 = 17 u  (Atomic Mass of N = 14)

Molecular Mass of CH3OH = 12 x 1 + 4 x 1 + 16 x 1

               = 12 + 4 + 16 = 32 u


Q:
A:

Formula unit mass of ZnO

= 1 x Atomic mass of Zn + 1 x Atomic mass of ‘O’ atom 

= 1 x 65 + 1 x 16

= 65 + 16

= 81 u

 

Formula unit mass of Na2

 = 2 x Atomic mass of Na + 1 x Atomic mass of ‘O’ atom

= 2 x 23 + 1 x 16

= 46 + 16

= 62 u

 

Formula unit mass of K2CO3

= 2 x Atomic mass of K + 1 x Atomic mass of C + 3 x Atomic mass of ‘O’

= 2 x 39 + 1 x 12 + 3 x 16

= 78 + 12 + 48

= 138 u


Exercise 5
Q:
A:

1 mole of carbon atoms = 6.022 x 1023

1 mole of carbon atoms weighs = 12 gram

Mass of 6.022 x 1023 atoms of carbon = 12 gram 

1 atom of carbon = 12 / 6.022 x 1023

    = 1.99 x 10-23 gram

Hence, Mass of 1 atom of carbon

   = 1.99 x 10-23 gram


Q:
A:

Atomic mass of sodium = 23 u

Gram atomic mass of sodium = 23 g 

1 mole or 23 g of sodium has = 6.022 x 1023 atom

100 g of sodium has = 6.022x1023 / 23 x 100

       = 2.618 x 1024 atom

Atomic mass of Ison (fe) = 56 u

Gram atomic mass of fe = 56 g

1 mole of fe has = 6.022 x 1023 atom

56 g of fe = 6.022 x 1023 atom

100 g of fe = 6.022 x 1023 / 56 x 100

      = 1.075 x 1024 atom

Hence, 100 gram of Na has more number of atoms than 100 gram of fe.


Exercise 6
Q:
A:

Mass of Boron  =  0.096 g

Маss of Oxygen = 0.144 g

Mass of sample of compound of oxygen and Boron = 0.24 g 

% of Boron by weight in the compound = 0.096 x 100 / 0.24 = 40%

% of Oxygen by weight in the compound = 0.144 x 100 / 0.24 = 60%


Q:
A:

Molar mass of S8 = 8 x 32 = 256 g

           256 g = 6.022 x 1023 no. of molecules of S8

No. of molecules present in 16 g of solid sulphur = 6.022x1023 / 256 x 16 = 0.376 x 1023

          = 3.76x1022


Q:
A:

Molar Mass of Al2O3 = 2 x Atomic mass of Al + 3 x Atomic mass of O
    = 2 x 27 + 3 x 16
    = 54 + 48 = 102 g 

102 g of Al2O3 contain = 2 x 6.022 x 1023 aluminium ion
   = 0.051 g of Al2O3 = 2 x 6.022 x 1023 / 102 x 0.051
   = 6.022 x 1023 x 10-3 = 6.022 x 1020


Q:
A:

1 mole of C = 12 g

1 mole of O2 = 32 g

C + O2 → CO2

12 g  +  32  44 g
 4           4            4

[3g + 8g - 11g]  constant

8 g of O2 will be consumed from 50g of O2 and 42 g of O2 will be unreactive. It shows that 12 g of carbon burns in 32 g oxygеn from 44 g of CO2 bесоuse 3 g of carbon reacts with 8 g of oxygen to form 11 g of CO2. The same is given to us. Consequently 11.0 g of CO2 will be formed when 3.0 g of carbon is burnt in 50 g of oxygen consuming 8 g of O2, leaving behind 42 g of O2. The answer governs the Law of constant Proportion.

Molar mass: The mass of the mole of substance is known as molar mass.

Unit = gm/mol.

(a) C2H2 = H - C = C - H

     = 2 x Atomic mass of C + 2 x Atomic mass of H
     = 2 x 12 + 2 x 1
     = 24 + 2 = 26 g


(b) S8 =  8 x atomic mass of sulphur.
      = 8 x 32 = 256 g
 

(c) P4 = 4 x atomic mass of phosphorus

     = 4 x 31 = 124 g

(d) HCl = 1 x atomic mass of H + 1 x atomic mass of Cl

      = 1 x 1 + 1 x 35.5
      = 1 + 35.5 = 36.5 g

(e) HNO3 = 1 x atomic mass of H + 1 x atomic mass of N + 3 x atomic mass of O

      = 1 x 1 + 1 x 14 + 3 x 16
      = 1 + 14 + 48 = 63 g


Q:
A:

1 mole of any particle = Relative mass of that particle in grams

1 mole of any molecule = molecular mass in grams

(a) 1 mole of nitrogen atom = 14 grams
(b) 1 mole of aluminium atom = 27 grams

     4 mole of aluminium atom = 27 x 4 = 108 grams
(c) Na2SO3 = 2 x atomic mass of Na + 1 x atomic mass of sulphur 3 x atomic mass of O

     = 2 x 23 + 1 x 32 + 3 x 16
     = 46 + 32 + 48 = 126 g

1 mole of Na2SO3 = 126 g 

10 moles of Na2SO3 = 126 x 10 = 1260 grams


Q:
A:

Mass (in grams) = no. of moles x molecular mass (g/mol)

(a) Molar mass of O2 = 2 x 16 = 32 g/mol
      
Mass = no. of mole x molar mass
      12 = n x 32
      n = 12/3 = 3/8
      n = 0.375 mole 

(b) Given mass = 20 g
      Molar mass of H2O = 2 x 1 + 1 x 16
                                      = 2 + 16 = 18 g/mol
      Mass = no. of mole x molar mass
      20 = n x 18
      n = 20/18 = 10/9
      n = 1.11 mole

(c) Given mass = 22g
      Molar mass of CO2 = 1 x 12 + 2 X 16
                                      = 12 + 32 = 44 g/mol
      Mass = no. of moles x molar mass
      22 = n x 44
      n = 22/44 = ½
      n = 0.5. mole


Q:
A:

(a) No. of moles = 0.2
     Molar mass of oxygen = 16 g/mol
     Mass = no. of moles of molar mass
     Mass = 0.2 x 16 = 3.2 g

(b) No. of moles = 0.5
     Molar mass of H2O = 2 x 1 + 16
                                     = 2 x 16 = 18 g/mole
     Mast = no. of moles x molar mass
     Mass = 0.5 x 18 = 9.0 g
