Class 11 Chemistry Chapter 1: Some Basic Concepts of Chemistry
Questions with Detailed Solutions and Relevant Formulas
1. Calculate the molecular mass of the following:
(i) H₂O (ii) CO₂ (iii) CH₄
Solution:
Molecular mass = sum of atomic masses of atoms in the molecule
$ H_2O = 2 \times 1.008 + 16.00 = 18.016 $ amu
$ CO_2 = 12.01 + 2 \times 16.00 = 44.01 $ amu
$ CH_4 = 12.01 + 4 \times 1.008 = 16.04 $ amu
2. Define mole and Avogadro's number.
Solution:
Mole is the amount of substance containing elementary entities (atoms,
molecules, ions).
Avogadro's number $N_A = 6.022 \times 10^{23} $ particles/mol
3. Calculate the number of atoms in 12 g of carbon-12.
Solution:
Molar mass of C-12 = 12 g/mol
Number of atoms = atoms (since 12 g = 1 mole)
4. Calculate the empirical formula of a compound containing 40% C, 6.7% H, and
53.3% O by mass.
Solution:
Assume 100 g sample:
Divide by smallest mole number:
Empirical formula = CH₂O
5. What is molarity? Calculate the molarity of a solution with 40 g NaOH dissolved
in 500 mL solution. (Molar mass NaOH = 40 g/mol)
Solution:
6. Define molality and write its unit.
Solution:
Molality (m) = moles of solute per kilogram of solvent, unit = mol/kg
7. Calculate molality for 34 g NH₃ dissolved in 500 g water. (Molar mass NH₃ = 17
g/mol)
Solution:
8. State and explain the law of conservation of mass.
Answer:
Mass is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction; total mass of reactants equals total
mass of products.
9. Define atomic mass unit (amu).
Answer:
1 amu = $ \frac{1}{12} $th the mass of one atom of C-12 isotope.
10. Calculate the number of molecules in 4 g of methane (CH₄). (Molar mass = 16
g/mol)
Solution:
11. Define percentage composition and calculate it for H₂O.
Solution:
Percentage by mass of element =
For H₂O:
12. Difference between molecular mass and formula mass.
Answer:
Molecular mass is the sum of atomic masses in a molecule.
Formula mass is the sum for ionic compounds which don't exist as molecules.
13. How many moles are there in 22.4 L of oxygen gas at STP?
Answer:
At STP, 1 mole of any gas occupies 22.4 L, so
14. What is the significance of the mole concept?
Answer:
It connects atomic scale to macroscopic scale by allowing quantities of substances to be
counted as moles rather than individual atoms or molecules.
15. What is the relationship between molarity (M), molality (m), and density (d) of a
solution?
Answer:
Where = molar mass of solute
16. Calculate the volume occupied by 0.5 moles of CO₂ at STP.
Answer:
17. Explain Dalton's atomic theory in brief.
Answer:
Atoms are indivisible particles; atoms of an element are identical; atoms combine in simple ratios
to form compounds.
18. Calculate the molecular formula if empirical formula is CH₂ and molar mass is
56 g/mol.
Solution:
Empirical formula mass = 12 + 2(1) = 14 g/mol
Number of empirical units =
Molecular formula = C₄H₈
19. What is the limiting reagent in a chemical reaction?
Answer:
The reactant that is completely consumed first, limiting the amount of products formed.
20. State Gay-Lussac’s law of gaseous volumes.
Answer:
When gases react at constant temperature and pressure, volumes of reacting gases and
products bear a simple ratio to each other.
21. Calculate the mass of 3 moles of water.
Solution:
Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol
Mass =
22. What is the molar mass of ? (Ca=40, C=12, O=16)
Solution:
23. Explain the concept of significant figures with an example.
Answer:
Significant figures convey precision of measurement. In 0.00450, significant figures are 3
(4,5,0).
24. Calculate mole fraction of water in 18 g of water and 46 g of ethanol (C₂H₅OH).
(Molar masses: H₂O=18 g/mol, ethanol=46 g/mol)
Solution:
25. What is dimensional analysis? Give its importance.
Answer:
A method to convert units using the dimensions of physical quantities, essential for correctness
in calculations and unit conversion.
These 25 questions cover conceptual understanding, numerical problems, formulas, and key
definitions from the first chapter, useful for practice and exam preparation.
If a specific detailed solution for any question is required or more numerical examples, that can
be provided too. Would a PDF or formatted document be helpful? Please confirm.
