Which of the following statements illustrates the law of multiple proportions ?
A
An element forms two oxides, $$XO$$ and $$X{O_2}$$ containing $$50\% $$ and $$60\% $$ oxygen respectively. The ratio of masses of oxygen which combines with $$1\,g$$ of element is 2 : 3.
B
One volume of nitrogen always combines with three volumes of oxygen to form two volumes of ammonia.
C
$$3.47\,g$$ of $$BaC{l_2}$$ reacts with $$2.36\,g$$ of $$N{a_2}S{O_4}$$ to give $$3.88\,g$$ of $$BaS{O_4}$$ and $$1.95\,g$$ of $$NaCl.$$
D
$$20\,mL$$ of ammonia gives 10 volumes of $${N_2}$$ and 30 volumes of $${H_2}$$ at constant temperature and pressure.
Answer :
An element forms two oxides, $$XO$$ and $$X{O_2}$$ containing $$50\% $$ and $$60\% $$ oxygen respectively. The ratio of masses of oxygen which combines with $$1\,g$$ of element is 2 : 3.
In $$XO,50\,g$$ of element combines with $$50\,g$$ of oxygen.
∴ $$1\,g$$ of element combines with $$1\,g$$ of oxygen.
In $$X{O_2},40\,g$$ of element combines with $$60\,g$$ of oxygen.
∴ $$1\,g$$ of element combines with $$1.5\,g$$ of oxygen.
Thus, ratio of masses of oxygen which combines with $$1\,g$$ of element is 1 : 1.5 or 2 : 3. This is in accordance with the law of multiple proportions. In (B) Gay Lussac's law of gaseous volume is followed. In (C) law of conservation of mass is followed while in (D) Avogadro's law is followed.

174.
$$0.24 g$$ of a volatile gas, upon vaporisation, gives $$45 mL$$ vapour at $$NTP.$$ What will be the vapour density of the substance?
$$\left( {{\text{Density of}}\,{H_2} = 0.089} \right)$$
A
95.93
B
59.93
C
95.39
D
5.993
Answer :
59.93
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{Weight of gas}} = 0.24\,g \cr
& {\text{Volume of gas}}\left( V \right) = 45\,mL = 0.045\,L \cr
& {\text{Density of}}\,{H_2}\left( d \right) = 0.089 \cr
& {\text{Weight of }}45{\text{ }}mL{\text{ of }}{H_2} = V \times d \cr
& = 0.045 \times 0.089 \cr
& = 4.005 \times {10^{ - 3}}g \cr
& {\text{Therefore, vapour density}} \cr
& = \frac{{{\text{Weight of certain volume of substance}}}}{{{\text{Weight of same volume of hydrogen}}}} \cr
& = \frac{{0.24}}{{4.005 \times {{10}^{ - 3}}}} \cr
& = 59.93 \cr} $$

Which of the following statements about a compound is incorrect ?
A
A molecule of a compound has atoms of different elements.
B
A compound cannot be separated into its constituent elements by physical methods of separation.
C
A compound retains the physical properties of its constituent elements.
D
The ratio of atoms of different elements in a compound is fixed.
Answer :
A compound retains the physical properties of its constituent elements.
Physical and chemical properties of a compound are different from those of its constituent elements.

Number of moles of $$KMn{O_4}$$ required to oxidize one mole of $$Fe\left( {{C_2}{O_4}} \right)$$ in acidic medium is
A
0.167
B
0.6
C
0.2
D
0.4
Answer :
0.6
The required equation is
$$\eqalign{
& 2KMn{O_4} + 3{H_2}S{O_4} \to \cr
& {K_2}S{O_4} + 2MnS{O_4} + 3{H_2}O + \mathop {5\left[ O \right]}\limits_{{\text{nascent oxygen}}} \cr
& 2Fe\left( {{C_2}{O_4}} \right) + 3{H_2}S{O_4} + 3\left[ O \right] \to \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,F{e_2}{\left( {S{O_4}} \right)_3} + 2C{O_2} + 3{H_2}O \cr} $$
$$O$$ required for $$1\,mol.$$ of $$Fe\left( {{C_2}{O_4}} \right)$$ is 1.5, $$5$$ $$O$$ are obtained from $$2\,moles$$ of $$KMn{O_4}$$
$$\therefore \,\,1.5\,\left[ O \right]$$ will be obtained from
$$ = \frac{2}{5} \times 1.5 = 0.6\,moles$$ of $$KMn{O_4}.$$

How many moles of magnesium phosphate, $$M{g_3}{\left( {P{O_4}} \right)_2}$$ will contain 0.25 mole of oxygen atoms?
A
$$1.25 \times {10^{ - 2}}$$
B
$$2.5 \times {10^{ - 2}}$$
C
$$0.02$$
D
$$3.125 \times {10^{ - 2}}$$
Answer :
$$3.125 \times {10^{ - 2}}$$
$${\text{1}}\,Mole$$ of $$M{g_3}{\left( {P{O_4}} \right)_2}$$ contains $${\text{8}}\,\,mole$$ of oxygen atoms
$$\therefore \,\,8\,mole$$ of oxygen atoms $$ \equiv \,1\,mole$$ of $$M{g_3}{\left( {P{O_4}} \right)_{2\,}}mole$$ of $$M{g_3}{\left( {P{O_4}} \right)_2}$$
$$0.25\,mole$$ of oxygen atom $$ \equiv \frac{1}{8} \times 0.25\,mole$$ of $$M{g_3}{\left( {P{O_4}} \right)_2}$$
$$ = 3.125 \times {10^{ - 2}}\,mole$$ of $$M{g_3}{\left( {P{O_4}} \right)_2}$$

In an experiment, $$2.4\,g$$ ofiron oxide on reduction with hydrogen gave $$1.68\,g$$ of iron. In another experiment, $$2.7\,g$$ of iron oxide gave $$1.89\,g$$ of iron on reduction. Which law is illustrated from the above data ?
A
Law of constant proportions
B
Law of multiple proportions
C
Law of conservation of mass
D
None of these
Answer :
Law of constant proportions
In first experiment,
Mass of iron oxide $$ = 2.4\,g$$
Mass of iron $$ = 1.68\,g$$
Mass of oxygen $$ = 2.4 - 1.68 = 0.72$$
Ratio of masses 0f Iiron and oxygen $$ = \frac{{1.68}}{{0.72}} = 7:3$$
In second experiment,
Mass of iron oxide $$ = 2.7\,g$$
Mass of iron $$ = 1.89\,g$$
Mass of oxygen $$ = 2.7 - 1.89 = 0.81$$
Ratio of masses of iron and oxygen $$ = \frac{{1.89}}{{0.81}} = 7:3$$
The same ratio confirms that these experiments clarify Law of constant proportions.
