Case based questions with answers

1.The mass of one mole of a substance in grams is called its molar mass. the molar mass in grams is
numerically equal to atomic molecular/formula mass in u. An empirical formula represents the simplest
whole number ratio of various atoms present in a compound, whereas, the molecular formula shows the
exact number of different types of atoms present in a molecule of a compound. If the mass per cent of
various elements present in a compound is known, its empirical formula can be determined. Molecular
formula can further be obtained if the molar mass is known. Many a time, reactions are carried out with the
Amounts of reactants that are different than The amounts as required by a balanced chemical reaction. In
such situations, one Reactant is in more amount than the amount required by balanced chemical reaction.
The reactant which is present in the least amount Many a time, reactions are carried out with the amounts
of reactants that are different than the amounts as required by a balanced chemical reaction. In such
situations, one reactant is in more amount than the amount required by balanced chemical reaction. The

 3.A welding fuel gas contains carbon and hydrogen only. Burning a small sample of it in oxygen
gives 3.38 g carbon dioxide, 0.690 g of water and no other products. A volume of 10.0 L
(measured at STP) of this welding gas is found to weigh 11.6 g. Calculate (i) empirical formula,
(ii) molar mass of the gas, and (iii) molecular formula.
We know that
44g of CO2 contains 12 g of carbon.
3.38 g of CO2 will contain carbon

18 g of water contains 2 g of hydrogen.

0.690 g of water will contain hydrogen =

Since carbon and hydrogen are the only constituents of the compound, the total mass of

the compound is:= 0.9217 g + 0.0767 g= 0.9984 g

Percent of C in the compound =

Percent of H in the compound =

Moles of carbon in the compound =

Moles of hydrogen in the compound =

Ratio of carbon to hydrogen in the compound = 7.69: 7.68= 1: 1 Hence, the
empirical formula of the gas is CH.
(ii) Given,
Weight of 10.0L of the gas (at S.T.P) = 11.6 g
Weight of 22.4 L of gas at STP = = 25.984 g=26g

Hence, the molar mass of the gas is 26 g.

Empirical formula mass of CH = 12 + 1 = 13 g
n= =2
Molecular formula of gas = (CH)n= C2H2
