SOME IMPORTANT DEFINITION

Mass and Weight
y It is the quantity of matter present in it while
weight is the force exerted by gravity on an
object.
y The mass of a substance is constant. Weight
varies from one place to another due to
change in gravity.
y SI unit of mass is kg.
Volume
y Volume is often quantified numerically using
the SI derived unit, the cubic meter (m3).
y Volume of liquids or solutions is measured by
using burette, pipette, graduated cylinder, or
volumetric flask.
Density
y The mass occupied per unit volume of a
substance is known as Density. The symbol
most often used for density is r
Definition
y SI unit of density is kg m–3.
y Other units of density include lb ft–3 and g Volume is the quantity of three-
cm–3. dimensional space enclosed
y Density is usually calculated with respect to a by some closed boundary,
standard substance. This is known as relative for example, the space that a
density. substance (solid, liquid, gas, or
Mole Concept

plasma) or shape occupies or

contains.

8.
Temperature
y Temperature is a physical property of matter
which tell us about the degree of heat content.
y There are three common scales for
measurement of temperature — K (kelvin, °F
(degree Fahrenheit) and)°C (degree Celsius).
y The temperature on two scales is related to
each other by the following relationship:
°F = 9/5(°C) + 32
K = °C + 273-15

LAWS OF CHEMICAL COMBINATION

y The combination of elements to form
compounds chemically is the result of the
five basic laws:

the result of absolutely exact measurement
of masses of reactants and products, and
carefully planned experiments done by
Lavoisier.

Q1 Five grams of KClO3 yid 3.04 1 g and 1.36 L of oxygen at standard temperature
and pressure. Show that these figures support the law of conservation of mass

\ Weight of 1.36 L of oxygen at STP   1.943 g

Weight of KCl formed = 3.041 g (given)
\ Total weight of product (KCl + O2) = 3.041 + 1.943 = 4.984 g
Error = 5 – 4.984 = 0.001 g
\ % error  0.016  100  0.32

Hence, the law of conservation of mass is valid within limits of –0.4% error. Thus,
the law is supported.

Law of Definite Proportions

Proust.

y Proust considered two samples of cupric the compounds obtained from

Q2 0.7 g of iron reacts directly with 0.4 g of sulphur to form ferrous sulphide. If
2.8 g of iron is dissolved in dilute HCl and excess of sodium sulphide solution
is added, 4.4 g of iron sulphide is precipitated. Prove the law of constant
composition.

A2 The ration of the weight of iron and sulphur in the first sample of the compound
is Fe : S :: 0.7 : 0.4 or 7 : 4.
According to the second experiment, 2.8 g of iron gives 4.4 g ferrous sulphide, or
2.8 g Fe combines with S = 4.4 – 2.8 = 1.6 g
Therefore, the ratio of the weights of Fe : S :: 2.8 : 1.6 or 7.8.
Mole Concept

Since the ratio of the weights of the two elements is same in both the cases, the
law of constant composition is true.

11.
 Law of Multiple Proportions

Q3 Elements X and Y form two different compounds. In the first compound, 0.324
g X is combined with 0.471 g Y. In the second compounds, 0.117 g X is combined
with 0.509 g Y. Show that these data illustrate the law of multiple proportions.

A3 In the first compound 0.324 g of X combines with 0.471 g of Y. In the second

compound 0.117 g of X combines with 0.509 g of Y.
0.509  0.324
Therefore, 0.324 g of X combines with the weight of Y   1.4095 g
0.117
Now, the weights of Y that combine with the same weight of X, i.e., 0.324 g of it,
are in the ratio of 0.471 : 1.4095 or 1 : 3. The ratio, being simple, illustrates the law
of multiple proportions.

Number of moles left = 0.5.

Remaining volume at STP = 0.5 × 22.4 = 11.2 lit..

Q37 When x gram of a certain metal brunt in 1.5 g oxygen to give 3.0 g of its oxide.
1.20 g of the same metal heated in a steam gave 2.40 g of its oxide. shows the
these result illustrate the law of constant or definite proportion

A37 weight of metal = 3.0 – 1.5 = 1.5 g

So, weight of metal : weight of oxygen = 1.5 : 1.5 = 1 : 1
Similarly, in second case,
weight of oxygen = 2.4 – 1.2 = 1.2 g
so weight of metal : weight of oxygen = 1.2 : 1.2 = 1 : 1

so, them results illustrate law of constant proportion.

 Chapter Summary

Š Atom is the fundamental unit of matter which is further indivisible i.e. atom can
neither be created nor be destroyed.
Š Actual mass of the mass of one atom or one molecule of a substance is called
as actual mass.
1
Š 1 amu = × mass of one C-12 atom = 1.66 × 10–24 g or 1.66 × 10–27 kg
12
Š 1 mole of atoms is also termed as 1 gm-atom, 1 mole of ions is termed as 1 gm-
ion and 1 mole of molecule termed as 1 gm - molecule
Š Relation between the molecular formula and Empirical formula
Š n= Molecular mass
Empirical Formula mass

Š Vapour density =
2
Š Limiting reagent : Calculating amount of anyone product obtained taking each
reactant one by one irrespective of other reactants. The one giving least product
is limiting reagent.
Š For reversible reaction, the actual amount of any limiting reagent consumed in
such incomplete reaction is given by [% yield × given mole of limit reagent]
Š Measuring volume is equivalent to counting number of molecules of gas
