1. The equivalent mass of a metal is 12.

The oxide of the metal contains

A. 12% metal
B. 60% oxygen
C. 40% oxygen
D. 8% metal

Detailed Answer::
12 g of the metal combines with 8 g of oxygen to form the oxide.
Hence mass of the oxide = 12 + 8 = 20
12 100
\ % age of the metal of the oxide = = 60
20
\ % age of oxygen = 40

9. Assertion (A) I mol of H2 SO4

is neutralised by 2 mol of NaOH but 1 equivalent of H2 SO4 is neutralised by I equivalent of
NaOH.
Reason (R) Equivalent amount of H2 SO4 is the quantity that is equal to 1 g H and hence, every mol of H2 SO4 is equal to 2
equivalents of H2 SO4 .

A. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
B. Both (A) and (R) are frue but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)
C. (A) is true but (R) is false.

12. 20 ml of 0.25 N strong acid and 30 ml of 0.2 N of strong base are mixed. The Resulting solution is
A. 0.025 N basic
B. 0.02 N acidic
C. 0.025 N acidic
D. 0.02N basic

Detailed Answer::
20 0.25
No. of equivalent s of acid taken = = 0.005
1000
30 0.25
No. of equivalent s of base taken = = 0.006
1000
Since the amount of base added is more than ther n amount of acid taken,
the solution is basic. The equivalent s of unused base present in 50ml of
the mixture = 0.006 - 0.005 = 0.001
0.001 1000
Equivalent s of base per litre = Strength of the base = = 0.02 N

13. Five grams each of CH4 ,SO2 , H2

and N2 are taken under the same conditions of Temperature and pressure. Which among them
contains maximum and minimum Number of molecules?

A. H2 , N2
B. CH4 , SO2
C. H2 , SO2
D. SO2 , H2

Detailed Answer::
Mol. mass of CH 4 , SO 2 , H 2 , N 2 are 16, 64, 2 and 28 respective ly. So the number moles
in 5 g each of the gases is maximum in the case of SO 2 Hence H 2 contains maximum
number of molecules and SO 2 contains minimum number of molecules
