Stoichiometry is a section of chemistry that involves calculation based on chemical equations. Chemical equations are governed by laws of chemical combination. Mass of reactants is equal to mass of products. Compound obtained from different methods contain the same elements in the fixed ratio by mass. Mole is a counting unit, equal to 6.022 x 1023 particles.
One mole is also equal to molar mass expressed in grams. One mole of every gas at STP has volume equal to 22.4 L. The reacting species which are consumed in the reaction completely is called limiting reagent which decides amount of products formed. Concentration of solution is expressed in terms of molarity, molality and mole fraction.
(a) Calculate number of moles of NH3 formed by reaction of 2 moles of N2 and 2 moles of H2.
\(\mathbf{N}_{2}(g)+3 \mathbf{H}_{2}(g) \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{NH}_{3}(g)\)
(b) Calculate number of electrons in 18 g of H2 O. [Atomic number of H = 1 ,O = 8]
(c) Calculate the molality of 1 M NaCI solution having density 1.10 g cm-3. (Molar mass = 58.5 g mol-1)
(d) Define mole fraction.
(e) In aqueous solution of glucose Xglucose = 0.1, what is XH2O = ?
1.
(i) ‘hexane’ indicates the presence of 6 carbon atoms in the chain. The functional group chloro is present at carbon 2. Hence, the structure of the compound is CH3CH2CH2CH2CH(Cl)CH3.
(ii) ‘pent’ indicates that parent hydrocarbon contains 5 carbon atoms in the chain. ‘en’ and ‘ol’ correspond to the functional groups C=C and -OH at carbon atoms 4 and 2 respectively. Thus, the structure is CH2 = CHCH2CH (OH)CH3
(iii) Six membered ring containing a carbon-carbon double bond is implied by cyclohexene, which is numbered as shown in (I). The prefix 3-nitro means that a nitro group is present on C-3. Thus, complete structural formula of the compound is (II). Double bond is suffixed functional group whereas NO2 is prefixed functional group therefore double bond gets preference over –NO2 group:
(iv) ‘1-ol’ means that a -OH group is present at C-1. OH is suffixed functional group and gets preference over C=C bond. Thus the structure is as shown in (II):
(v) ‘heptanal’ indicates the compound to be an aldehyde containing 7 carbon atoms in the parent chain. The ‘6-hydroxy’ indicates that -OH group is present at carbon 6. Thus, the structural formula of the compound is:CH3CH(OH)CH2CH2CH2CH2CHO. Carbon atom of –CHO group is included while numbering the carbon chain.
2.
Factors affecting Ionization enthalpy.
(i) Atomic size. With the increase in atomic size, the number of electron shells increases and thus the force of attraction between the electrons and the nucleus decreases. Therefore the ionization enthalpy decreases.
(ii) Nuclear charge. As the nuclear charge increases the attraction for the electron also increases that's why ionization enthalpy increases.
(iii) Screening or shielding effect. In a multi-electron atom, the electron present in the inner shells shield the electrons in the valence shell as a result these electrons experience less attraction from the nucleus. This leads to lesser ionization enthalpy.
Variation along a period. On moving from left to right in a period the nuclear charge increases and the atomic size decreases as a result ionization enthalpies are expected to increase.
Variation within a group. On moving down the group as the atomic size of the elements increases that's why ionization enthalpy decreases down the group
3.
A limiting reagent determines the extent of a reaction. It is the reactant which is the first to get consumed during a reaction, thereby causing the reaction to stop and limiting the amount of products formed.
(i) According to the given reaction, 1 atom of A reacts with 1 molecule of B. Thus, 200 molecules of B will react with 200 atoms of A, thereby leaving 100 atoms of A unused. Hence, B is the limiting reagent.
(ii) According to the reaction, 1 mol of A reacts with 1 mol of B. Thus, 2 mol of A will react with only 2 mol of B. As a result, 1 mol of B will not be consumed. Hence, A is the limiting reagent.
(iii) According to the given reaction, 1 atom of A combines with 1 molecule of B. Thus, all 100 atoms of A will combine with all 100 molecules of B. Hence, the mixture is stoichiometric where no limiting reagent is present.
(iv) 1 mol of atom A combines with 1 mol of molecule B. Thus, 2.5 mol of B will combine with only 2.5 mol of A. As a result, 2.5 mol of A will be left as such. Hence, B is the limiting reagent.
(v) According to the reaction, 1 mol of atom A combines with 1 mol of molecule B. Thus, 2.5 mol of A will combine with only 2.5 mol of B and the remaining 2.5 mol of B will be left as such. Hence, A is the limiting reagent.

\(_{ 16 }S^{ 2- }=16+2=18{ e }^{ - }, \ _{ 18 }Ar=18{ e }^{ - }\)

10.
Since 69.9% and 30.1% of iron and oxygen are present in 100 grams of iron oxide.
Step I - Calculation of number of moles
Number of moles of iron present in 100 gram of iron oxide\( =\frac{\text{ weight in grams (iron)}}{\text{molecular weight of iron}} =\frac{69.9}{55.8}\)=1.25mole
Number of moles of oxygen present in 100 gram of iron oxide \(= \frac{\text{weight in grams (oxygen) }}{ \text{molecular weight of oxygen}}=\frac{30.1}{16}\)=1.88moles
Step II - Calculation of ratio of number of moles of iron to number of moles of oxygen
Ratio of iron to oxygen \(=\frac{ 1.25}{1.88} = \frac{1}{1.5}\)
On multiplying the given ration with 2 we get 2/3
Hence the empirical formula of iron oxide is Fe2O3
Step III - Calculation of n
Emphirical formula = Fe2O3 = (2 x 55.85) + (3 x 16.00) = 159.7 g mol-1
Molar mass of Fe2O3=159.69
n = \(\frac{molar mass}{ emphirical formula mass } \) = \(\frac{159.8}{159.7}\) = 1
11.
Step 1. Conversion of mass per cent to grams : Since we are having mass per cent, it is convenient to use 100 g of the compound as the starting material. Thus, in the 100 g sample of the above compound, 4.07g hydrogen, 24.27g carbon and 71.65g chlorine are present.
Step 2. Convert into number moles of each element : Divide the masses obtained above by respective atomic masses of various elements. This gives the number of moles of constituent elements in the compound
Moles of hydrogen = \(\frac{4.07 \mathrm{~g}}{1.008 \mathrm{~g}}=4.04\)
Moles of carbon = \(\frac{24.27 \mathrm{~g}}{12.01 \mathrm{~g}}=2.021\)
Moles of chlorine = \(\frac{71.65 \mathrm{~g}}{35.453 \mathrm{~g}}=2.021\)
Step 3. Divide each of the mole values obtained above by the smallest number amongst them : Since 2.021 is smallest value, division by it gives a ratio of 2:1:1 for H:C:Cl. In case the ratios are not whole numbers, then they may be converted into whole number by multiplying by the suitable coefficient.
Step 4. Write down the empirical formula by mentioning the numbers after writing the symbols of respective elements : CH2Cl is, thus, the empirical formula of the above compound.
Step 5. Writing molecular formula : (a) Determine empirical formula mass by adding the atomic masses of various atoms present in the empirical formula.
For CH2Cl, empirical formula mass is
12.01 + (2 x 1.008) + 35.453
= 49.48 g
(b) Divide Molar mass by empirical formula mass
\(\frac{\text { Molar mass }}{\text { Empirical formula mass }}=\frac{98.96 \mathrm{~g}}{49.48 \mathrm{~g}}\)
= 2 = (n)
(c) Multiply empirical formula by n obtained above to get the molecular formula
Empirical formula = CH2Cl, n = 2. Hence molecular formula is C2H4Cl2.

Isoelectronic species are those which have same number of electrons.
(i) Na has 10 electrons.Therefore, the species
N3-, O2-, F-, Mg2+, Al3+ etc., each of which has also 10 electrons and hence, isoelectronic with it
(ii) Cl- has 18 electrons. Therefore, the species P3-, S2-, Ar, K+ and Ca2+, each one of which contains 18 electrons and hence , isoelectronic with it.
(iii) Ca2+ has 18 electrons. Therefore, the species P3-, S2-, Ar and K+, each of which also contains 18 electrons and hence, isoelectronic with it.
(iv) Rb+ has 36 electrons. Therefore, the species Br-, Kr or Sr2+ each of which also has 36 electrons and hence, isoelectronic with it.
16.
Mendeleev's periodic law : It states that the properties of the elements are a periodic function of their atomic weights
Modern periodic law : It states that the properties of the elements are a periodic function of their atomic numbers. Thus, change in the base of classification of elements from atomic weight to atomic number is the basic difference between Mendeleev's periodic law and the modern periodic law.
17.
Mass number is a whole number because it is the sum of the number of protons and number of neutrons whereas atomic mass is fractional because it is the average relative mass.
18.
In a period, the non-metallic character increases from left to right. Thus, among B, C, Nand F, non-metallic character decreases in the order: F > N> C> B. However, within a group, non-metallic character decreases from top to bottom. Thus, C is more non-metallic than Si. Therefore, the correct sequence of decreasing non-metallic character is: F> N> C> B > Si, i.e., option (c) is correct.

(d) It is because 'N' has half filled orbital which is more stable and more energy is needed to remove electron in 'N' than O.
35.
(a) 1 mole of N2 needs 3 moles of H2 ,
Therefore, 2 moles of N2 needs 6 moles of H2 .
But we have only 2 moles of H2 , so H2 is limiting reagent.
3 moles of H2 gives 2 moles of NH2.
2 moles of H2 gives \(\frac{2}{3} \times 2=1.33\) moles of NH3 .
(b) 18 g of water (1 mole) containing 10 x 6.022 x 1023 electrons = 6.022 x 1024 electrons.
