(1) In a reaction, 5.3g of sodium carbonate reacted with 6 g of acetic acid. The products were 2.2 g of carbonate dioxide, 0.9g water and 8.2 g of sodium acetate. Show that these observations are in agreement with the law of conservation of mass.

Sodium carbonate + acetic acid   →  sodium acetate + carbon dioxide + water

Ans-

Chemical reaction is –

Sodium carbonate + acetic acid  →  sodium acetate + carbon dioxide + water

Atoms and molecules, Q 1 ,page 32, NCERT, class 9Atoms and molecules, Q 2,page 32, NCERT, class 9(3) Which postulate of Dalton’s atomic theory is the result of the law of conservation of mass?

Ans- The postulate of Dalton’s atomic theory is the result of the law of conservation of mass is “Atoms are indivisible particles, which cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.“

(4) Which postulate of Dalton’s atomic theory can explain the law of definite proportions?

Ans- “The relative number and kinds of atoms are constant in a given compound “is the postulate of Dalton’s atomic theory can explain the law of definite proportions.

(1) Define the atomic mass unit.

Ans-

Atomic mass unit is used to measure atomic mass of a substance. Its symbol is “amu” used earlier. But after recommendations of the IUPAC, it is written as “u”.

(2) Why is not possible to see an atom with naked eyes?

Ans- Atoms can not exist alone. Atoms are very small particle in size. They form molecules and ions. These molecules and ions combines and form matter that we can feel. Therefore, we can not see an atom with naked eyes.

What mass of carbon dioxide will be formed when 3.00 g of carbon is burnt in 50.00 g of oxygen? Which law of chemical combination will govern your answer?

Ans-Mass of the reactant carbon = 3.0 g

Mass of the reactant oxygen = 50.0 g

Total mass of the reactants

= Mass of the reactant carbon + Mass of the reactant oxygen

= 3.0 + 50.0

= 53.0 g

Total mass of the product =Total mass of the reactants

= 53.0 g

Law of conservation of mass will govern our answer.

(3)What are polyatomic ions? Give examples.

Ans-  When two or more ions considered as single unit, are called polyatomic ion.

Eg:- Hydroxide ion consists one ion of oxygen and one ion of hydrogen.

(4) Write the chemical formula of the following.

Atoms and molecules, Q 4, exercise, NCERT, class9Atoms and molecules, Q 4, exercise, NCERT, class 9(5) Give the name of the elements present in the following compounds.

(a) Quick lime

(b) Hydrogen bromide

(c) Baking powder

(d) Potassium sulphate

Ans-

(a) Quick lime –Calcium and oxygen

(b) Hydrogen bromide – Hydrogen and bromine

(c) Baking powder – Sodium, hydrogen, carbon, oxygen

(d) Potassium sulphate – Potassium, sulphur and oxygen

(6) Calculate the molar mass of the following substances.

(a) Ethyne, C2H2

(b) Sulphur molecule, S8

(c)Phosphorus molecule, P4 (Atomic mass of phosphorus = 31)

(d) Hydrochloric acid, HCl

(e) Nitric acid, HNO3

Ans-

(a) Ethyne, C2H2

Molecular mass of the C2H2

= 2(atomic mass of the carbon) + 2(atomic mass of the hydrogen)

= 2(12) + 2(1)

=24 + 2

= 26 u

Molar mass = Molecular mass

Molar mass of Ethyne = Molecular mass of Ethyne

= 26 g

Hence, molar mass of the C2H2 is 26 g.

 (b) Sulphur molecule, S8
