What is the number of moles present in $1 \ m^3$ of any gas at $STP$?
A
$32.4$
B
$54.6$
C
$44.6$
D
$28.2$

Solution

(C) At $STP$ (Standard Temperature and Pressure),the molar volume of an ideal gas is $22.7 \ L \ mol^{-1}$ (using the current $IUPAC$ standard of $1 \ bar$ pressure).
Given volume $V = 1 \ m^3 = 1000 \ L$.
The number of moles $n$ is calculated as:
$n = \frac{V}{V_m} = \frac{1000 \ L}{22.7 \ L \ mol^{-1}} \approx 44.05 \ mol$.
If using the older $STP$ definition ($1 \ atm$ pressure),the molar volume is $22.4 \ L \ mol^{-1}$.
$n = \frac{1000 \ L}{22.4 \ L \ mol^{-1}} \approx 44.64 \ mol$.
Rounding to the nearest value provided in the options,the correct answer is $44.6$.

Find the number of millimoles for $0.160 \ g$ sodium hydroxide.
A
$0.08$
B
$0.20$
C
$4.0$
D
$40.00$

Solution

(C) The molar mass of sodium hydroxide $(NaOH)$ is calculated as:
$M = 23.0 + 16.0 + 1.0 = 40.0 \ g/mol$.
Number of moles $(n)$ = $\frac{\text{mass}}{\text{molar mass}} = \frac{0.160 \ g}{40.0 \ g/mol} = 0.004 \ mol$.
Since $1 \ mol = 1000 \ mmol$,the number of millimoles is:
$0.004 \ mol \times 1000 \ mmol/mol = 4.0 \ mmol$.

D
$3.011 \times 10^{23}$

Solution

(C) The chemical formula of urea is $NH_2CONH_2$ or $CH_4N_2O$.
The molar mass of urea is $(12 + 4 \times 1 + 2 \times 14 + 16) = 60 \ g/mol$.
The number of moles of urea in $5.4 \ g$ is $n = \frac{5.4}{60} = 0.09 \ mol$.
Each molecule of urea contains $4$ hydrogen atoms.
Therefore,the number of hydrogen atoms = $n \times 4 \times N_A$,where $N_A = 6.022 \times 10^{23} \ mol^{-1}$.
Number of hydrogen atoms = $0.09 \times 4 \times 6.022 \times 10^{23} = 0.36 \times 6.022 \times 10^{23} = 2.16792 \times 10^{23} \approx 2.168 \times 10^{23}$.

Solution

(B) The molar mass of water $(H_2O)$ is $18 \,g/mol$.
$1 \,mol$ of water contains $6.022 \times 10^{23}$ molecules.
Mass of $6.022 \times 10^{23}$ molecules of water $= 18 \,g$.
Therefore, the mass of $1$ molecule of water $= \frac{18 \,g}{6.022 \times 10^{23}} = 2.988 \times 10^{-23} \,g$.
Given that $\text{density} = \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{volume}}$, the volume occupied by $1$ molecule is $\text{Volume} = \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{density}}$.
$\text{Volume} = \frac{2.988 \times 10^{-23} \,g}{1 \,g \,cm^{-3}} = 2.988 \times 10^{-23} \,cm^3 \approx 2.98 \times 10^{-23} \,cm^3$.

A
$0.1$
B
$0.2$
C
$0.4$
D
$0.8$

Solution

(B) The chemical formula of ammonium nitrate is $NH_4NO_3$.
The molar mass of $NH_4NO_3 = (14 + 4 \times 1 + 14 + 3 \times 16) \ g/mol = 80 \ g/mol$.
Number of moles of $NH_4NO_3 = \frac{8 \ g}{80 \ g/mol} = 0.1 \ mol$.
Since $1 \ mol$ of $NH_4NO_3$ contains $2 \ mol$ of nitrogen atoms,
$0.1 \ mol$ of $NH_4NO_3$ contains $0.1 \times 2 = 0.2 \ mol$ of nitrogen atoms.

For $1.8 \ g$ of $H_2O$: Moles of $H_2O = \frac{1.8 \ g}{18 \ g/mol} = 0.1 \ mol$. Total atoms $= 0.1 \ mol \times (2 + 1) = 0.3 \ mol$ of atoms.
For $2.8 \ g$ of $N_2$: Moles of $N_2 = \frac{2.8 \ g}{28 \ g/mol} = 0.1 \ mol$. Total atoms $= 0.1 \ mol \times 2 = 0.2 \ mol$ of atoms.
For $4.4 \ g$ of $CO_2$: Moles of $CO_2 = \frac{4.4 \ g}{44 \ g/mol} = 0.1 \ mol$. Total atoms $= 0.1 \ mol \times (1 + 2) = 0.3 \ mol$ of atoms.
Thus,$4.25 \ g$ of $NH_3$ contains $1 \ mol$ of atoms.

B
$16.0 \ g$ of $CH_{4}$
C
$13.3 \ g$ of $Ar$
D
$11 \ g$ of $CO_{2}$

Solution

(B) The number of molecules is directly proportional to the number of moles $(n = \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{molar mass}})$.
$I. \ n_{Ar} = \frac{13.3 \ g}{39.9 \ g \ mol^{-1}} = 0.33 \ mol$
$II. \ n_{O_{2}} = \frac{24.0 \ g}{32 \ g \ mol^{-1}} = 0.75 \ mol$
$III. \ n_{CO_{2}} = \frac{11 \ g}{44 \ g \ mol^{-1}} = 0.25 \ mol$
$IV. \ n_{CH_{4}} = \frac{16.0 \ g}{16 \ g \ mol^{-1}} = 1.0 \ mol$
Since $CH_{4}$ has the maximum number of moles $(1.0 \ mol)$,it contains the maximum number of molecules.

What is the number of moles and total number of atoms respectively present in $5.6 \ cm^{3}$ of ammonia gas at $STP$?
A
$2.50 \times 10^{-3} \ mol$ and $1.5 \times 10^{20}$ atoms
B
$1.505 \ mol$ and $6.022 \times 10^{20}$ atoms
C
$2.05 \ mol$ and $1.50 \times 10^{20}$ atoms
D
$2.50 \times 10^{-4} \ mol$ and $6.022 \times 10^{20}$ atoms

Solution

(D) Volume of $NH_{3}$ gas at $STP = 5.6 \ cm^{3} = 5.6 \times 10^{-3} \ L$ (or $dm^{3}$).
Since $22.4 \ L$ of any gas at $STP$ contains $1 \ mole$.
Number of moles of $NH_{3} = \frac{5.6 \times 10^{-3} \ L}{22.4 \ L/mol} = 2.5 \times 10^{-4} \ mol$.
One molecule of $NH_{3}$ contains $4$ atoms ($1$ Nitrogen and $3$ Hydrogen).
Total number of atoms = (Number of moles) $\times$ (Avogadro's number) $\times$ (Atomicity).
Total number of atoms = $2.5 \times 10^{-4} \times 6.022 \times 10^{23} \times 4 = 6.022 \times 10^{20}$ atoms.

MediumMCQ
Which among the following elements has the highest number of atoms in $1 \ g$ each? (Atomic masses: $Au=197, Na=23, Cu=63.5, Fe=56$)
A
$Cu_{(s)}$
B
$Na_{(s)}$
C
$Au_{(s)}$
D
$Fe_{(s)}$

Solution

(B) The number of atoms is calculated by the formula: $\text{Number of atoms} = \frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}} \times N_A$.
Since the mass is $1 \ g$ for all,the number of atoms is inversely proportional to the molar mass.
$I$. $1 \ g \ Fe = \frac{1}{56} \times N_A \approx 0.0178 \times N_A$ atoms.
$II$. $1 \ g \ Au = \frac{1}{197} \times N_A \approx 0.0051 \times N_A$ atoms.
$III$. $1 \ g \ Na = \frac{1}{23} \times N_A \approx 0.0435 \times N_A$ atoms.
$IV$. $1 \ g \ Cu = \frac{1}{63.5} \times N_A \approx 0.0157 \times N_A$ atoms.
Comparing the values,$Na$ has the smallest molar mass,therefore it has the highest number of atoms.

$0.5 \times 10^{-3} \ mol$
C
$1.66 \times 10^{-3} \ mol$
D
$9.95 \times 10^{-2} \ mol$

Solution

(B) The molar mass of $H_2SO_4$ is $98 \ g/mol$.
Initial amount of $H_2SO_4 = 98 \ mg = 98 \times 10^{-3} \ g = 0.1 \times 10^{-2} \ mol = 1 \times 10^{-3} \ mol$.
Number of molecules in $1 \times 10^{-3} \ mol = 1 \times 10^{-3} \times 6.022 \times 10^{23} = 6.022 \times 10^{20}$ molecules.
Number of molecules removed $= 3.01 \times 10^{20}$.
Number of molecules left $= 6.022 \times 10^{20} - 3.01 \times 10^{20} = 3.012 \times 10^{20}$ molecules.
Number of moles left $= \frac{3.012 \times 10^{20}}{6.022 \times 10^{23}} \approx 0.5 \times 10^{-3} \ mol$.

The number of oxygen atoms in $4.4 \ g$ of $CO_2$ is,
A
$1.2 \times 10^{23}$
B
$6 \times 10^{22}$
C
$6 \times 10^{23}$
D
$12 \times 10^{23}$

Solution

(A) Molar mass of $CO_2 = 12 + (2 \times 16) = 44 \ g/mol$.
Number of moles of $CO_2 = \frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}} = \frac{4.4 \ g}{44 \ g/mol} = 0.1 \ mol$.
$1$ molecule of $CO_2$ contains $2$ oxygen atoms.
Therefore,$1$ mole of $CO_2$ contains $2 \times 6.022 \times 10^{23}$ oxygen atoms.
Number of oxygen atoms in $0.1 \ mol$ of $CO_2 = 0.1 \times 2 \times 6.022 \times 10^{23} = 1.2044 \times 10^{23}$ oxygen atoms.
Thus,the number of oxygen atoms is approximately $1.2 \times 10^{23}$.

What amount of dioxygen (in gram) contains $1.8 \times 10^{22}$ molecules?
A
$0.0960$
B
$0.960$
C
$9.60$
D
$96.0$

Solution

(B) $1$ mole of $O_2 = 6.022 \times 10^{23}$ molecules $= 32 \ g$ of $O_2$.
$1$ molecule of $O_2 = \frac{32}{6.022 \times 10^{23}} \ g$ of $O_2$.
Therefore,$1.8 \times 10^{22}$ molecules of $O_2 = \frac{32}{6.022 \times 10^{23}} \times 1.8 \times 10^{22} \ g$.
$= 0.960 \ g$ of $O_2$.

B
$6.022 \times 10^{23}$
C
$6.022 \times 10^{19}$
D
$6.022 \times 10^{20}$

Solution

(D) The molar mass of $H_{2}O$ is $18 \ g/mol$.
$18 \ g$ of $H_{2}O$ contains $6.022 \times 10^{23}$ molecules.
Therefore,$0.018 \ g$ of $H_{2}O$ contains:
$\text{Number of molecules} = \frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}} \times N_{A}$
$= \frac{0.018 \ g}{18 \ g/mol} \times 6.022 \times 10^{23} \text{ molecules/mol}$
$= 0.001 \times 6.022 \times 10^{23}$
$= 6.022 \times 10^{20} \text{ molecules}$.

The mass of $112 \ cm^3$ of $NH_3$ gas at $STP$ is (in $g$)
A
$0.085$
B
$0.850$
C
$8.500$
D
$80.500$

Solution

(A) $1 \ mol$ of $NH_3 = 17 \ g = 22400 \ cm^3$ at $STP$.
Since $22400 \ cm^3$ of $NH_3$ at $STP$ has a mass of $17 \ g$.
Therefore,the mass of $112 \ cm^3$ of $NH_3$ at $STP$ is calculated as:
$\text{Mass} = \frac{17 \ g}{22400 \ cm^3} \times 112 \ cm^3 = 0.085 \ g$.

The total number of electrons in $18 \ mL$ of water (density $= 1 \ g \ mL^{-1}$) is
A
$6.02 \times 10^{25}$
B
$6.02 \times 10^{24}$
C
$6.02 \times 18 \times 10^{23}$
D
$6.02 \times 10^{23}$

Solution

(B) Given volume of water $= 18 \ mL$ and density $= 1 \ g \ mL^{-1}$.
Mass of water $= \text{density} \times \text{volume} = 1 \ g \ mL^{-1} \times 18 \ mL = 18 \ g$.
Molar mass of $H_2O = (2 \times 1) + 16 = 18 \ g \ mol^{-1}$.
Number of moles of $H_2O = \frac{18 \ g}{18 \ g \ mol^{-1}} = 1 \ mol$.
One molecule of $H_2O$ contains $2 \times 1 (\text{from } H) + 8 (\text{from } O) = 10$ electrons.
Total number of electrons in $1 \ mol$ of $H_2O = 1 \ mol \times 6.022 \times 10^{23} \text{ molecules/mol} \times 10 \text{ electrons/molecule}$.
Total number of electrons $= 6.022 \times 10^{24}$.

Solution

(C) The molar mass of methane $(CH_{4})$ is calculated as: $12 + (4 \times 1) = 16 \ g/mol$.
Mass of $0.1 \ mol$ of methane $= \text{Number of moles} \times \text{Molar mass}$.
Mass $= 0.1 \ mol \times 16 \ g/mol = 1.6 \ g$.

EasyMCQ
$80 \ g$ of oxygen contains as many atoms as in
A
$80 \ g$ of hydrogen
B
$1 \ g$ of hydrogen
C
$10 \ g$ of hydrogen
D
$5 \ g$ of hydrogen

Solution

(D) The molar mass of oxygen atoms $(O)$ is $16 \ g/mol$. However,oxygen gas exists as $O_2$.
Number of moles of $O_2 = \frac{80 \ g}{32 \ g/mol} = 2.5 \ mol$.
Number of oxygen atoms $= 2.5 \ mol \times 2 \times N_A = 5 \times N_A$.
For hydrogen gas $(H_2)$,the molar mass is $2 \ g/mol$.
Number of atoms in $5 \ g$ of $H_2$:
Moles of $H_2 = \frac{5 \ g}{2 \ g/mol} = 2.5 \ mol$.
Number of hydrogen atoms $= 2.5 \ mol \times 2 \times N_A = 5 \times N_A$.
Thus,$80 \ g$ of oxygen contains the same number of atoms as $5 \ g$ of hydrogen.

The number of gram molecules of chlorine in $6.02 \times 10^{25}$ hydrogen chloride molecules is
A
$10$
B
$100$
C
$50$
D
$5$

Solution

(B) The chemical formula for hydrogen chloride is $HCl$.
One molecule of $HCl$ contains one atom of chlorine.
Therefore,$6.02 \times 10^{25}$ molecules of $HCl$ contain $6.02 \times 10^{25}$ atoms of chlorine.
The number of moles (gram molecules) of chlorine atoms is calculated as:
$\text{Number of moles} = \frac{\text{Total number of atoms}}{\text{Avogadro's number}} = \frac{6.02 \times 10^{25}}{6.02 \times 10^{23}} = 100$.

A
$2 \ g$ of carbon monoxide
B
$2 \ g$ of carbon dioxide
C
$2 \ g$ of sulphur dioxide
D
$2 \ g$ of water

Solution

(D) The number of oxygen atoms is calculated as: $\text{Number of atoms} = \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{molar mass}} \times N_A \times \text{number of oxygen atoms in one molecule}$.
For $2 \ g$ of $CO$ $(M = 28 \ g/mol)$: $\frac{2}{28} \times 1 = 0.071 \ N_A$.
For $2 \ g$ of $CO_2$ $(M = 44 \ g/mol)$: $\frac{2}{44} \times 2 = 0.091 \ N_A$.
For $2 \ g$ of $SO_2$ $(M = 64 \ g/mol)$: $\frac{2}{64} \times 2 = 0.0625 \ N_A$.
For $2 \ g$ of $H_2O$ $(M = 18 \ g/mol)$: $\frac{2}{18} \times 1 = 0.111 \ N_A$.
Comparing the values,$2 \ g$ of $H_2O$ contains the maximum number of oxygen atoms.

$A$ flask contains $98 \ mg$ of $H_2SO_4$. If $3.01 \times 10^{20}$ molecules of $H_2SO_4$ are removed from the flask,the number of moles of $H_2SO_4$ remaining in the flask is $\left(N_A = 6.02 \times 10^{23}\right)$
A
$1 \times 10^{-4}$
B
$5 \times 10^{-4}$
C
$1.66 \times 10^{-4}$
D
$9.95 \times 10^{-3}$

Solution

(B) Initial weight of $H_2SO_4$ $(W)$ = $98 \ mg = 98 \times 10^{-3} \ g$.
Initial number of moles $(n_1)$ = $\frac{98 \times 10^{-3} \ g}{98 \ g/mol} = 10^{-3} \ mol$.
Number of moles removed $(n_2)$ = $\frac{\text{Number of molecules}}{N_A} = \frac{3.01 \times 10^{20}}{6.02 \times 10^{23}} = 0.5 \times 10^{-3} \ mol$.
Remaining moles = $n_1 - n_2 = 10^{-3} - 0.5 \times 10^{-3} = 0.5 \times 10^{-3} \ mol = 5 \times 10^{-4} \ mol$.

The mass of hydrogen (in grams) present in $1.0 \text{ L}$ of pure water of density $1.0 \text{ g cm}^{-3}$ is
A
$1.11 \times 10^2$
B
$5.55 \times 10^2$
C
$2.22 \times 10^2$
D
$3.33 \times 10^2$

Solution

(A) Density of water = $1.0 \text{ g cm}^{-3}$.
Volume of water = $1.0 \text{ L} = 1000 \text{ mL}$.
Mass of $1.0 \text{ L}$ of water = $1000 \text{ mL} \times 1.0 \text{ g mL}^{-1} = 1000 \text{ g}$.
Molar mass of $H_2O = (2 \times 1.008) + 16.00 = 18.016 \text{ g mol}^{-1} \approx 18 \text{ g mol}^{-1}$.
In $18 \text{ g}$ of $H_2O$,the mass of hydrogen is $2 \text{ g}$.
Therefore,the mass of hydrogen in $1000 \text{ g}$ of $H_2O = (2 \text{ g} / 18 \text{ g}) \times 1000 \text{ g} = 111.11 \text{ g}$.
This is equal to $1.11 \times 10^2 \text{ g}$.

If one atom of an element $X$ weighs $6.643 \times 10^{-23} \ g$,then find the number of moles of atoms in $50 \ kg$ of element $X$. (in $moles$)
A
$500$
B
$125$
C
$1250$
D
$50$

Solution

(C) Step $1$: Calculate the mass of one mole of element $X$ (molar mass).
Mass of one atom = $6.643 \times 10^{-23} \ g$.
Molar mass = Mass of one atom $\times$ Avogadro's number $(N_A)$.
Molar mass = $(6.643 \times 10^{-23} \ g) \times (6.022 \times 10^{23} \ mol^{-1}) \approx 40 \ g/mol$.
Step $2$: Calculate the number of moles in $50 \ kg$ $(50,000 \ g)$.
Number of moles = $\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}} = \frac{50,000 \ g}{40 \ g/mol} = 1250 \ moles$.

One mole of oxygen gas at $STP$ is equal to
A
$6.022 \times 10^{23}$ molecules of oxygen
B
$6.022 \times 10^{23}$ atoms of oxygen
C
$16 \ g$ of oxygen
D
$3.2 \ g$ of oxygen

Solution

(A) $1$ mole of $O_{2(g)}$ at $STP$ contains Avogadro number $(N_A = 6.022 \times 10^{23} \ mol^{-1})$ of $O_2$ molecules.
Since $1$ mole of $O_2$ has a molar mass of $32 \ g/mol$,it corresponds to $32 \ g$ of oxygen gas.
Therefore,the correct statement is that it contains $6.022 \times 10^{23}$ molecules of oxygen.

Which one of the following has the same number of atoms as are in $6 \,g$ of $H_2O$?
A
$0.4 \,g$ $He$
B
$22 \,g$ $CO_2$
C
$1 \,g$ $H_2$
D
$12 \,g$ $CO$

Solution

(C) $1$. Calculate the number of atoms in $6 \,g$ of $H_2O$:
$n(H_2O) = \frac{6 \,g}{18 \,g/mol} = \frac{1}{3} \,mol$.
Since each $H_2O$ molecule has $3$ atoms ($2$ $H$ and $1$ $O$),total atoms $= 3 \times \frac{1}{3} \,N_A = N_A$.
$2$. Evaluate options:
$A$: $n(He) = \frac{0.4}{4} = 0.1 \,mol$. Atoms $= 0.1 \,N_A$.
$B$: $n(CO_2) = \frac{22}{44} = 0.5 \,mol$. Atoms $= 3 \times 0.5 \,N_A = 1.5 \,N_A$.
$C$: $n(H_2) = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5 \,mol$. Atoms $= 2 \times 0.5 \,N_A = N_A$.
$D$: $n(CO) = \frac{12}{28} \approx 0.43 \,mol$. Atoms $= 2 \times 0.43 \,N_A = 0.86 \,N_A$.
Thus,$1 \,g$ of $H_2$ has the same number of atoms.

The number of sodium ions present in $0.5 \ mol$ of sodium ferrocyanide is?
A
$2 \times 10^{23}$
B
$0.5 \times 10^{23}$
C
$12 \times 10^{23}$
D
$4 \times 10^{23}$

Solution

(C) The chemical formula for sodium ferrocyanide is $Na_4[Fe(CN)_6]$.
Each molecule of $Na_4[Fe(CN)_6]$ contains $4$ sodium ions $(Na^+)$.
Therefore,$1 \ mol$ of $Na_4[Fe(CN)_6]$ contains $4 \ mol$ of $Na^+$ ions.
For $0.5 \ mol$ of $Na_4[Fe(CN)_6]$,the number of moles of $Na^+$ ions is $0.5 \times 4 = 2 \ mol$.
The number of $Na^+$ ions is calculated as $2 \times N_A$,where $N_A \approx 6.022 \times 10^{23} \ mol^{-1}$.
Number of ions $= 2 \times 6.022 \times 10^{23} = 12.044 \times 10^{23} \approx 12 \times 10^{23}$.

What is the total number of electrons present in one mole of ethane?
A
$6.022 \times 10^{23}$
B
$10.022 \times 10^{25}$
C
$108.4 \times 10^{23}$
D
$1.084 \times 10^{23}$

Solution

(C) The chemical formula of ethane is $C_2H_6$ $(CH_3-CH_3)$.
Each carbon atom has $6$ electrons and each hydrogen atom has $1$ electron.
Total electrons in one molecule of ethane $= (2 \times 6) + (6 \times 1) = 12 + 6 = 18$ electrons.
One mole of ethane contains $N_A$ molecules,where $N_A = 6.022 \times 10^{23} \ mol^{-1}$.
Total electrons in one mole of ethane $= 18 \times 6.022 \times 10^{23} = 108.396 \times 10^{23} \approx 108.4 \times 10^{23}$.
Therefore,the correct option is $(C)$.

Assertion $(A)$: Equal moles of different substances contain the same number of constituent particles.
Reason $(R)$: Equal weights of different substances contain the same number of constituent particles.
The correct answer is
A
Both $(A)$ and $(R)$ are true and $(R)$ is the correct explanation of $(A)$
B
Both $(A)$ and $(R)$ are true but $(R)$ is not the correct explanation of $(A)$
C
$(A)$ is true,but $(R)$ is false
D
$(A)$ is false but $(R)$ is true

Solution

(C) The number of particles in a substance is given by $N = n \times N_A$,where $n$ is the number of moles and $N_A$ is Avogadro's constant $(6.022 \times 10^{23} \ mol^{-1})$.
Since $N_A$ is constant,equal moles $(n)$ of different substances contain the same number of constituent particles. Thus,Assertion $(A)$ is true.
However,the number of moles is given by $n = \frac{w}{M}$,where $w$ is the weight and $M$ is the molar mass.
Since different substances have different molar masses $(M)$,equal weights $(w)$ of different substances will result in different number of moles $(n)$,and consequently,a different number of constituent particles.
Therefore,Reason $(R)$ is false.

$138 \ g$ of ethyl alcohol is mixed with $72 \ g$ of water. The ratio of mole fraction of alcohol to water is
A
$3: 4$
B
$1: 2$
C
$1: 4$
D
$1: 1$

Solution

(A) Number of moles of ethyl alcohol $(C_2H_5OH)$ = $\frac{138}{46} = 3 \ mol$.
Number of moles of water $(H_2O)$ = $\frac{72}{18} = 4 \ mol$.
Mole fraction of alcohol $(X_{C_2H_5OH})$ = $\frac{3}{3+4} = \frac{3}{7}$.
Mole fraction of water $(X_{H_2O})$ = $\frac{4}{3+4} = \frac{4}{7}$.
The ratio of mole fraction of alcohol to water is $\frac{X_{C_2H_5OH}}{X_{H_2O}} = \frac{3/7}{4/7} = \frac{3}{4}$.

How many oxygen atoms are present in $0.36 \ g$ of a drop of water?
A
$6.023 \times 10^{22}$
B
$1.205 \times 10^{22}$
C
$6.023 \times 10^{23}$
D
$1.205 \times 10^{23}$

Solution

(B) The molar mass of water $(H_2O)$ is $18 \ g/mol$.
Number of moles of water $= \frac{0.36 \ g}{18 \ g/mol} = 0.02 \ mol$.
Number of water molecules $= 0.02 \times 6.023 \times 10^{23} = 1.205 \times 10^{22}$ molecules.
Since each molecule of water $(H_2O)$ contains $1$ oxygen atom,the number of oxygen atoms is equal to the number of water molecules.
Therefore,the number of oxygen atoms $= 1.205 \times 10^{22}$.
