  • 2. 

    If 8.4g of magnesium carbonate on heating gave 4.4g of carbon dioxide and 4.0g of magnesium oxide. These agreement are in agreement with______________

    • A.

      Law of constant proportion

    • B.

      Law of conservation of mass

    • C.

      Law of multiple proportion

    • D.

      Gay lussac's law

    Correct Answer
    B. Law of conservation of mass
    Explanation
    The given question involves the reaction between magnesium carbonate and heat, which results in the formation of carbon dioxide and magnesium oxide. According to the Law of Conservation of Mass, matter cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction, it can only be rearranged. Therefore, the total mass of the reactants should be equal to the total mass of the products. In this case, the mass of magnesium carbonate (8.4g) is equal to the combined mass of carbon dioxide (4.4g) and magnesium oxide (4.0g), confirming the Law of Conservation of Mass.

    Explanation
    The correct answer is atomicity. Atomicity refers to the number of atoms that are present in a molecule of a substance. It indicates how many atoms are chemically bonded together to form a molecule. Molecularity, on the other hand, refers to the number of molecules that participate in a chemical reaction. Valency is a measure of an atom's ability to form chemical bonds, while reactivity refers to how readily a substance undergoes a chemical reaction.

      Albert Einstein

    • B.

      John Dalton

    • C.

      James Chadwick

    • D.

      Neils Bohr

    Correct Answer
    B. John Dalton
    Explanation
    John Dalton is the correct answer because he is the scientist who gave the atomic theory of matter. Dalton's atomic theory, proposed in the early 19th century, stated that all matter is made up of tiny indivisible particles called atoms. He also suggested that atoms of different elements have different properties and combine in specific ratios to form compounds. Dalton's theory laid the foundation for modern atomic theory and revolutionized our understanding of the composition and behavior of matter.

    • D.

      3.011 X 10^23

    Correct Answer
    B. 6.022 X 10^23
    Explanation
    The Avogadro number is a fundamental constant in chemistry and physics that represents the number of atoms or molecules in one mole of a substance. It is approximately equal to 6.022 x 10^23, which means that there are 6.022 x 10^23 atoms or molecules in one mole of any substance. This value is widely used in various calculations and conversions in chemistry, such as determining the number of atoms in a sample or calculating the molar mass of a compound.

    1 mole = ___________ mass of element.

    • A.

      Kilogram

    • B.

      Metre

    • C.

      Gram atomic

    • D.

      None of this these

    Correct Answer
    C. Gram atomic
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Gram atomic." This is because one mole is defined as the amount of substance that contains the same number of particles (atoms, molecules, ions, etc.) as there are atoms in exactly 12 grams of carbon-12. Therefore, one mole is equal to the gram atomic mass of an element, which is the mass of one mole of atoms of that element in grams.

    • C.

      2

    • D.

      1

    Correct Answer
    A. 3
    Explanation
    The valency of nitrogen in ammonia (NH3) is 3. This is because nitrogen has 5 valence electrons, and it needs 3 more electrons to complete its octet. In ammonia, nitrogen forms three covalent bonds with three hydrogen atoms, sharing its 3 valence electrons with them. Therefore, the valency of nitrogen in ammonia is 3.

    • D.

      Li3N

    Correct Answer
    D. Li3N
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Li3N. Lithium nitride is composed of one lithium ion (Li+) and one nitride ion (N3-). Therefore, the formula for lithium nitride is Li3N, indicating that three lithium ions combine with one nitride ion to form the compound.
