🔎💥 XI MCQs Chapter 1 ………… Stoichiometry

1.   If the volume occupied by oxygen gas (O2) at STP is 44.8dm3, the number molecules of Oin the vessels are:

(a) 3.01 x 1023                    

(b) 6.02 x 1023                                    

(c) 12.04 x 1023                  

(d) 24.08 x 1023

Explanation; (Answer, c)

22.4 dm3 (1 mole) of any gas at STP contains 6.02 x 1023 molecules. Hence 44.8 dm(2 mole) of any gas at STP would contain twice of 6.02 x 1023 molecules i.e. 12.04 x 1023 molecules.

No. of molecules = Vg/Vm x NA = 44.8/22.4 x 6.02 x 1023 = 12.04 x 1023 or 1.204 x 1024 molecules.

2.  The number of carbon atoms in 1 mole of sugar (C12H22O11) are approximately:

(a) 6 x 1023                          

(b) 24 x 1023                                       

(c) 60 x 1023                                        

(d) 72 x 1023

Explanation; (Answer, d)

1 mole of sugar (C12H22O11) = 12 moles of carbon atoms

12 moles of carbon atoms = n x NA = 12 x 6.02 x 1023 = 72 x 1023 or 7.2 x 1024 carbon atoms.

3. In the reaction 2Na + 2H2O → 2NaOH + H2, if 23g of Na reacts with excess of water, the volume of hydrogen gas (H2) liberated at STP should be

(a) 11.2dm3                        

(b) 22.4dm                                       

(c) 33.6dm3                                         

(d) 44.8dm3

Explanation; (Answer, a)

From stoichiometric ratio in the given equation:

46g (2 mole) Na liberates 22.4 dm3 of hydrogen gas at STP

23g (1 mole) Na liberates 22.4/46 x 23 dm3 of hydrogen gas at STP = 11.2 dm3 of hydrogen gas

4.  Which of the following sample of substances contains the same number of atoms as that of 20g calcium:

(a) 16g S                              

(b) 20g C                                              

(c) 19 g K                                             

(d) 24g Mg

Explanation; (Answer, a)

Species containing same number of moles will have same number of particles (atoms, molecules or formula units). 20 g Ca and 16 g S constitute same number of moles (0.5 moles), hence they have same number of atoms.

No. of moles in 20 g Ca = mass/molar mass = 20/40 = 0.5 mol

No. of moles in 16 g S = mass/molar mass = 16/32 = 0.5 mol

5.  The minimum number of moles are present in:

(a) 1 dm3 methane gas at STP              

(b) 5 dm3 of helium gas at STP

(c) 10 dm3 of hydrogen gas at STP                      

(d) 22.4 dm3 of chlorine gas at STP

Explanation; (Answer, a)

For gases at STP, minimum number of moles are present in that gas which has least volume. Here 1 dm3 methane gas at STP has least number of moles as it has least volume.

6.  Number of atoms in 60g carbon are:

(a) 3.01x 1023                     

(b) 3.01 x 1024                    

(c) 6.02 x 1023                                    

(d) 6.02 x 1024

Explanation; (Answer, b)

No. of atoms = (Mass/molar mass) x NA = 60/12 x 6.02 x 1023 = 3.01 x 1024

7. Maximum number of molecules present in the following sample of gas:

(a) 100g O2                         

(b) 100g CH4                      

(c) 100g CO2                                       

(d) 100g Cl2

Explanation; (Answer, b)

The species containing greatest moles will have greatest number of molecules.

For species having same mass, the specie having least molar mass would have greatest number of moles. Here CH4 has least molar mass of 16, so its 100 g would contain maximum number of moles and also maximum number of molecules.

8.  Which of the following statement is incorrect?

(a) The mass of 1 mole Cl2 gas is 35.   

(b) One mole of H2 gas contains 6.02 x 1023 molecules  of H2

(c) Number of atoms in 23g Na and 24 g Mg are equal           

(d) One moles of O2 at S.T.P occupy 22.4 dmvolume

Explanation; (Answer, a)

The statement a is incorrect as the mass of 1 mole of Cl2 is 71 g (not 35).

9. For Avogadro's number, this statement is incorrect?

(a) It is the no. of particles in one mole of any substance      

(b) Its numerical value is 6.02x 1023

(c) Its value change if temperature increases                                           

(d) Its value change if number of moles increases.

Explanation; (Answer, c)

Avogadro’s number is independent of temperature and pressure. Its value only depends upon the number of moles and volume of gas at STP.

🔎💥 XI MCQs Chapter 2 …… Atomic Structure

1. Bohr's theory is not applicable to which of the following

(a) H                                     

(b) H+                                                    

(c) He1+                                

(d) Li2+

Explanation; (Answer, b)

One of the limitations of Bohr's atomic model is that it does not explain the spectra of multi-electron atoms. Bohr's theory is applicable to hydrogen like atoms or hydrogenic ions (single electron system). 

All the given species like H, He+ and Li2+ are isoelectronic and have only one electron. Their electronic configurations are same and so their spectra is explained by Bohr's atomic model. But H+ has no electron at all and hence cannot form spectrum.

2. Nitrogen has the electronic configuration 1s2 2s2 2px1 2py1 2pz1 and  1s2s2 2px2 2py1.This is determined by

(a) Aufbau principle         

(b) Pauli’s rule                                  

(c) Hund's rule                   

(d) n+l rule

Explanation; (Answer, c)

The filling of electrons in degenerate orbitals like p, d and f is governed by Hund’s rule of maximum electron multiplicity accordingly electrons in degenerate orbitals tend to remain singly with same spin until all of the degenerate orbitals become half filled then pairing of electrons are allowed in them.

3. Quantum number values for 3s orbital are

(a) n=0, l=1                         

(b) n=1, l=0                                         

(c) n=3, l=1                         

(d) n=3, l=0  

Explanation; (Answer, d)

In the notation 3s (nl), 3 stands for n while s represent l.

For 3s orbital, n =3 and l=0.

4.  The radius of first orbit of hydrogen atom is .....

(a) 529Å                               

(b) 52.9 Å                                            

(c) 5.29 Å                             

(d) 0.529 Å

Explanation; (Answer, d)


Where ao is known as Bohr’s constant or Bohr radius and it the radius of first orbital of hydrogen atom. and its value is 0.529 x 10−10 m or 0.529 x 10−8 cm or 0.529Å or 0.0529 nm or 52.9 pm. This is the radius of the first orbit of H. This equation is used for the determination of nth orbit of hydrogen atom and hydrogen like ions like He+, Li2+ etc.

5. Line spectrum is used as a tool for the identification of ....

(a) Colors                            

(c) Elements                                       

(b) Electrons                                      

(d) Molecules

Explanation; (Answer, c)

Samples of same element always produces same characteristic line spectrum. Each element emit of light of specific wavelength therefore the number of lines and the distance between them depends upon the nature of element, so line spectra is used as “Finger Print” for the identification of elements. For example, line spectrum of sodium contains two yellow coloured lines separated by a definite distance.

6. The shape of orbital for which l = 0 is

(a) Spherical                       

(b) Dumbbell                                      

(c) Double dumbbell                        

(d) Complicated

Explanation; (Answer, a)

Its values show shape of orbitals. It has values l = 0 to (n – 1). e.g.

l = 0, used for s-orbital, spherical in shape

l = 1, used for p-orbital, dumb-bell in shape

l = 2, used for d-orbital, double dumb-bell in shape 

l = 3, used for f-orbital, complicated shape

7. When 4d orbital is filled, the next electron enter into

(a) 5s                                    

(b) 5p                                                   

(c) 5d                                                    

(d) 6s

Explanation; (Answer, b)

According to n+ l rule, electrons are filled in various orbitals in the increasing order of (n+l) value. Those orbitals which have lower value of (n+l) value filled first. In case, if two orbitals which have same (n+l) value, then orbital having lower ‘n’ value will be filled first.

The n+l value of 4d orbital is 4+2 =6. The next orbital to be filled must have n+l value either equal to 6 or greater than 6. The n+l value of 5d orbital is 5+2 =7, for 5s it is 5+0=5, for 5p it is 5+1=6 and for 6s it is 6+0=6. Since 5p and 6s orbitals have same n + l value, hence the electron first go to that orbital which has least n value i.e. 5p.

8.  Which of the following is not an iso electronic pair?

(a) Na+ and Ne                   

(b) Na+ and F                                    

(c) Na and Ca                                      

(d) Na+ and Mg2+

Explanation; (Answer, b)

The species having same number of total electrons and hence have same electronic configuration are called isoelectronic pair. Na+ and F are isoelectronic pair as both of them contains 10 electrons.

9. Balmer series appears in the hydrogen spectrum if electron jumps from any appropriate higher energy orbit to

(a) Second orbit                

(b) Third orbit                                   

(c) Fourth orbit                                

(d) Fifth orbit

Explanation; (Answer, a)

Balmer noted first that the Hydrogen spectrum consisted of some well defined discrete lines in the visible region (i.e. having l between 4000 to 7000Å) of spectrum. This series is obtained by the transition of electrons from any higher orbit (n2 = 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 …. µ) to 2nd orbit (n= 2).

(a) Amounts of liquids                     

(b) Intermolecular forces               

(c) Surface area                  

(d) Viscosities

2. Explanation (Answer; b)

The boiling points of liquids depend upon the strength of intermolecular forces. Greater the strength of IMF, greater is the boiling point. Since different liquids have different strength of IMF, therefore, different liquids have different boiling points at the same external pressure.

3. Which of the following possesses weakest London dispersion forces:

(a) Cl2                                                    

(b) F2                                                     

(c) Br2                                   

(d) I2

3. Explanation (Answer; b)

The strength of London dispersion forces depends upon the size of atom or molecules. Large size atom or molecules have greater number of electrons therefore more distortion of electrons is possible, which increases the strength of London forces. In this questions given options belongs to halogens of group VIIA in which atomic size increases down the group. Hence iodine has the largest size and has the strongest dispersion forces while fluorine has the smallest size and hence has the weakest dispersion forces.

4. A non-polar molecule with bigger size will experience:

(a) London forces                              

(b) dipole-dipole interaction          

(c) Hydrogen bonding     

(d) All of these

4. Explanation (Answer; a)

Non-polar molecules have only London dispersion forces. The strength of London dispersion forces depends upon the Size of atom or molecules. Large size atom or molecules have greater number of electrons therefore more distortion of electrons is possible, which increases the strength of London forces.

5. Which of the following liquids show maximum surface tension?

(a) Water                                               

(b) Mercury                                        

(c) Ethyl alcohol                

(d) Gasoline

Surface tension of liquids depends upon the strength of IMF. Greater is the strength of IMF, greater is the surface tension. Mercury has strong interatomic forces in the form strong metallic bond. Hence mercury has the highest surface tension among all liquids.

6.The boiling point of water (H2O) is 100oC where as that of hydrogen sulphide (H2S) is 42oC, This can be attributed to: 

(a) Smaller bond angle of H2S than H2O            

(b) Smaller radii of oxygen than sulphur

(c) High I.P of oxygen than sulphur                           

(d) Tendency of water to form hydrogen bond

6. Explanation (Answer; d)

The boiling points of liquids depend upon the strength of intermolecular forces. Greater the strength of IMF, greater is the boiling point. Water being a polar liquid forms strong hydrogen bonds with neighbouring water molecules while hydrogen sulphide being non-polar cannot do so. Hence due to hydrogen bonding water shows high boiling point than hydrogen sulphide.

7. Liquids can form convex meniscus in a narrow glass tube when:

(a) Cohesive forces are stronger than adhesive forces           

(b) Adhesive forces are stronger than cohesive forces

(c) Cohesive and adhesive forces are equal in strength

1. Quantity of energy released when 1 mole of the ionic crystal is formed from gaseous ions is called:
(a) Bond energy 
(b) Potential energy 
(c) Ionization energy 
(d) Lattice energy
1. Explanation (Answer; d)
In the formation of ionic solids, oppositely charged gaseous ions brought closer to each other and arranged three dimensionally in certain pattern releasing a high amount of energy known as lattice energy which is the energy associated with electrostatic interaction between the ions in a crystal.
Lattice Energy is defined as the amount of energy released when gaseous ions of opposite charges combine to give one mole of a crystalline ionic compound. The energy liberated in this case will have a negative sign. It is expressed in kJ/mol.

2. Graphite can conduct electricity in one direction only. With this behavior, it is said
(a) Amorphous 
(b) Symmetrical 
(c) anisotropic 
(d) Polymorphous
2. Explanation (Answer; c)
Graphite has layers of hexagonal carbon atoms with delocalized π-electrons. These delocalized electrons are free to move within the layers (along the plane) but not between layers. Graphite can conduct electricity parallel to its plane of layers but not perpendicular to plane because of electron movement is not allowed on perpendicular of the layer. So, its electrical conductivity depends on direction. Due to variation in its physical properties in different directions, graphite is said to be anisotropic. A substance whose physical properties vary with direction is called anisotropic.
The property of a crystalline substance in which its crystal shows variable intensity of physical properties (such as coefficient of thermal expansion, electrical and thermal conductivity, refractive index etc.) in different directions (molecular axes) in the crystal lattice of the substance is called Anisotropy and the substance possessing this property is called Anisotrope.
Crystalline solids are usually anisotropic and exhibit the property of anisotropy i.e. they have certain physical properties that vary with direction. Crystalline solids show variable intensity of physical properties in different directions. Their physical properties like electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, thermal expansion, refractive index, mechanical strength etc. are different in different directions.
Reason of Anisotropic Behaviour
The reason of anisotropic attitude is attributed to the fact that arrangement of particles is different in the different directions.

4. The temperature at which two allotropic forms co-exist in equilibrium is called as
(a) Melting temperature 
(b) fusion temperature 
 (c) Transition temperature 
 (d) critical temperature
4. Explanation (Answer; c)
The allotropic forms of element have different stabilities and unstable variety changes into the stable allotropic form at a certain temperature called transition temperature which has fixed value for each pair of allotropes. Thus transition temperature is the temperature at which two crystalline forms of the same element co-exist in equilibrium with each other. (It exists both for allotropes and polymorphs).
It has been noticed that the transition temperature of two different crystalline forms of a substance is always less than its melting point.

(b) Liquid water at 25°C                  

(c) Liquid water at 4°C

Explanation (Answer; d)

Entropy, S, is a thermodynamic quantity and it is defined as the measure of the disorder or randomness in a system. The more “messed up” or “disorderly” or “messy” a system becomes, we say the entropy of the system increases.

The entropy of substances with different states are different since the arrangement of the molecules are different. Solids have the lowest entropy value among the other states of matter since the molecules in solids are stationary. These molecules only vibrate but do not move due to the strong interactions. Their molecules are therefore more ordered than those in other states of matter. Thus among three states of matter, the randomness and also entropy follows the order:

Gas > liquid > solid

Sgas > Sliquid > Ssolid

4. Heat transfer cannot be feasible across the  boundary of a

(a) Open system                

(b) Thermo permeable system     

(c) Isolated system                           

(d) Close system

Explanation (Answer; c)

Isolated system is an ideal thermodynamic system that does not allow either matter or heat transfer across the boundary.

5. In a thermochemical process, no work is done if the system is kept at:

(a) Constant pressure      

(b) Constant temperature                

(c) Constant volume                         

(d) Constant mass

Explanation (Answer; c)

When a reaction is carried out at constant volume (ΔV = 0), no work is done on or by the system.

6. Standard enthalpy of formation of all of the following elements at 25°C and 1 atm pressure are zero except:

(a) C(diamond))                       

(b) C(graphite)                                         

(c) O₂                                                    

(d) N₂

Explanation (Answer; a)

Conventionally ΔHf° of most the elements (H2, O2, N2, Na, graphite, rhombic sulphur etc.) are taken as zero because no further change is needed to bring them to standard state conditions. However, for those elements which exists in more than one allotropic forms, the most stable allotropic form is conventionally assumed to have ΔHf° = 0.

For example

(i) ΔHf° of graphite is taken as zero as it is thermodynamically more stable allotrope of carbon than diamond at 25°C & 1 atm

(ii) O2 is more stable allotropic form than O(ozone) and therefore, ΔHf° of O2 is assumed to be zero.

(iii) Rhombic sulphur has ΔHf° = 0 as it is the most stable allotrope of sulphur.

7. In the equation of First law of thermodynamics (∆E=q + w), the property(s) which depends upon initial and final state is (are):

(a) ΔE                                   

(b) q                                                      

(c) W                                                     

(d) Both q and W

Explanation (Answer; a)

Only ΔE is a state function which depends upon initial and final state. The other two variables of the first law of thermodynamics i.e. q and W both are path functions that  do not depend upon initial and final state.

8. Volume is a:

(a) State function               

(b) Colligative property                   

(c) Intensive properties                   

(d) Path function

Volume is a state function as it depends upon initial and final states.

9. Which statement is incorrect?

(a) For constant pressure process, ∆H = ∆E + P∆V                   

(b) For constant volume process, ∆E = q                    

(c) For exothermic reactions, ∆H > 0                                          

(d) For Hess law Σ∆H°(cycle) = 0

Explanation (Answer; c)

For exothermic changes, ∆H < 0   

10. Which of the following enthalpy change is always negative:

(a) Enthalpy of formation

(b) Enthalpy of decomposition     

(c) Enthalpy of combustion

(d) Enthalpy of reaction

Explanation (Answer; c)

4.The strongest oxidizing agent in the electro chemical series is:

(a) Li                                     

(b) H₂                                                    

(c) Cu                                                    

(d) F

4. Explanation (Answer; d)

The strongest oxidizing must have highest reduction potential. In ECS, F has the highest reduction potential, therefore fluorine is the strongest oxidizing agent.

5. Galvanized rod of iron is coated with:

(a) Nickel                            

(b) Zinc                                                

(c) Chromium

(b)+6                                                     

(c) +8                                                    

(d) +12

6. Explanation (Answer; b)

Oxidation number of Na = +1

Oxidation number of O = −2

In a neutral compound, sum of oxidation numbers of all atoms is equal to zero.

2(Na) + 2Cr + 7(O) = 0

2(+1) + 2Cr + 7(−2) = 0

2 + 2Cr + (−14) = 0

2 + 2Cr −14 = 0

2Cr −12 = 0

2Cr = +12

Cr = +12/2 = +6

7. Which of the following half cell reaction show oxidation?

(a) Fe3+ → Fe2+                    

(b) Cl₂→ 2Cl                                      

(c) SO42− → SO32−                                

(d) Zn → Zn2+

7. Explanation (Answer; d)

Oxidation means increase in oxidation number of atom during a reaction. The conversion of Zn (ON =0) to ion (ON = +2) involves loss of 2 electrons which is manifested by the 2 units increase in oxidation number.

In reaction (a) where ferric ion (ON = +3) changes into ferrous ion (ON = +2) is reduction as oxidation number of Fe has been decreased.

In reaction (b) where chlorine (ON = 0) changes into chloride ion (ON = −1) is reduction as oxidation number of Cl has been decreased.

In reaction (c) where sulphate ion (ON = ++6) changes into sulphite ion (ON = +4) is reduction as oxidation number of S has been decreased.
