(ii) The mass of 11..2 litres of a certain gas at s.t.p. is 24g. Find the gram molecular mass of the gas.

Answer:5 (a)
(i)
ICSE Chemistry Question Paper 2017 Solved for Class 10 - 9
If air is 100, then oxygen is 20%
If air is 100cm3, then oxygen is \frac{20}{100} \times 1000= 200 cm3
If 5 vol. of oxygen is used, then propane is 1 vol.
1 vol. of oxygen is used, then propane is \frac{1}{5} vol.
If 200 cm3 of oxygen is used, then propane is \frac{1}{5}

(ii) 11.2 litres of a certain gas at s.t.p. is 24
1 litre of a certain gas at s.t.p. is \frac{24}{11.2}
22.4 litres of a certain gas at s.t.p. is \frac{24}{11.2} \times 22.4 \mathrm{L}=48 \mathrm{g}

(iii) If the number of molecules of hydrogen in the cylinder is X, calculate the number of COmolecules in the cylinder under the same conditions of temperature and pressure.
(iv) State the law that helped you to arrive at the above result.

Answer:(b)
(i) Weight of hydrogen = 2 × 1 g = 2 g
2 g of hydrogen corresponds to 1 mole of hydrogen
1 g of hydrogen corresponds to \frac{1}{2} mole of hydrogen
1000 g of hydrogen corresponds to \frac{1}{2} × 1000 g mole of H2 = 500 moles
(ii) 1 mole of H2 occupy 22.4 L
500 mole of H2 occupy = 22.4 x 500
By Avogadro’s law the volume occupied by CO2 will be same
Weight of CO2 = 12 + 2 x 16 = 44 g
22.4 L will weigh 44
1L will weigh \frac{44}{22.4}
22.4 x 500L will weigh \frac{44}{22.4} \times 22.4 \times 500=22000 \mathrm{g}=22 \mathrm{kg}
