Equal number of atoms are contained in one gram atomic weight of each element, and that the same number
of molecules is found in one gram molecular weight of any compound. The terms gram atomic weight and
gram molecular weight are used to refer to a fixed number (Avogadro's number 6.023 x 1023) of particle. The
term mole stands for the amount of material which contains these number of particles.

Passage :
Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions. (Q.13 to Q.17)
The number of carbon atoms in exactly 12 gm of C12 is called Avogadro’s number, NA (6.02 × 1023). One mole
is the amount of material which contains Avogadro’s number of particles.
These definitions emphasize that the mole refers to a fixed number of any type of particles. Thus it is correct
to refer to a mole of helium, a mole of electrons, or a mole of Na+, meaning respectively Avogadro’s number
of atoms, electrons or ions. On the other hand, phrases like “one mole of hydrogen” can be ambiguous, and
should be restated as “one mole of hydrogen atoms” or “one mole of hydrogen molecules.” But it is a matter
of common practice among chemists, however, to let the name of the element stand for its most common
form. Thus one mole of O2 is frequently referred to as one mole of oxygen, whereas one mole of O is called
one mole of oxygen atoms.Suppose if we take one mole molecules of H2SO4 then it contain 2 moles of ‘H’
atom 1 mole of ‘S’ atom and 4 moles of ‘O’ atom. It can be said also that moles of oxygen molecule is
4 2 = 2 mole

Passage :
Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions. (Q.1 to Q.5)
The concentrations of solutions can be expressed in number of ways; viz : mass fraction of solute (or mass
percent), Molar concentration (Molarity) and Molal concentration (molality). These terms are known as
concentration terms and also they are related with each other i.e.knowing one concentration term for the
solution, we can find other concentration terms also. The definition of different concentration terms are given
below :
Molarity : It is number of moles of solute present in one litre of the solution.
Molality : It is the number of moles of solute present in one kg of the solvent
moles of solute
Mole Fraction = moles of solute  moles of solvent

If molality of the solution is given as 'a' then mole fraction of the solute can be calculated by
a a  Msolvent
Mole Fraction = ; = where a = molality and Msolvent = Molar mass of
1000 (a  M solvent  1000 )

Passage :
Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions. (Q.1 to Q.5)
The number of carbon atoms in exactly 12 gm of C12 is called Avogadro’s number, NA (6.02 × 1023). One mole
is the amount of material which contains Avogadro’s number of particles.
These definitions emphasize that the mole refers to a fixed number of any type of particles. Thus it is correct
to refer to a mole of helium, a mole of electrons, or a mole of Na+, meaning respectively Avogadro’s number
of atoms, electrons or ions. On the other hand, phrases like “one mole of hydrogen” can be ambiguous, and
should be restated as “one mole of hydrogen atoms” or “one mole of hydrogen molecules.” But it is a matter
of common practice among chemists, however, to let the name of the element stand for its most common
form. Thus one mole of O2 is frequently referred to as one mole of oxygen, whereas one mole of O is called
one mole of oxygen atoms.Suppose if we take one mole molecules of H2SO4 then it contain 2 moles of ‘H’
atom 1 mole of ‘S’ atom and 4 moles of ‘O’ atom. It can be said also that moles of oxygen molecule is 4 2
= 2 mole
