Very Short Answer Type Questions
Question: How many H atoms are in 0.80 moles of hexane, C6H14?
Answer: Number of hexane molecules
= Number of moles × 6.022 × 1023
= 0.8 × 6.022 × 1023 = 4.81 × 1023 One
hexane molecule contains 14 H atoms Hence, total number of H atoms in 0.8 moles = 4.8 × 1023 × 14
= 67.2 × 1023 = 6.72 × 1024 atoms
Question: Define law of conservation of mass.
Answer: Law of conservation of mass states that mass can neither
be created nor be destroyed in a chemical reaction.

Case Based MCQs
The knowledge of valencies of various radicals helps us to write the formulae of chemical compounds. The total positive charge on positive ions (cations) is equal to the total negative charge on negative ions (anions) in a molecule.
Therefore, in writing the formula of a compound,the positive and negative ions are adjusted in such a way that the total number of positive charges of positive ions (cations) becomes equal to the total number of negative charges of negative ions (anions).
There is another simple method for writing the formulae of ionic compounds. In this method, the valencies (or positive or negative charges) of the ions can be ‘crossed over’ to give subscripts. The purpose of crossing over of charges is to find the number of ions required to equalise the number of positive and negative charges.

Answer
A
A mole of an atom is a collection of atoms whose total mass is the number of grams equal to the atomic mass. Since equal number of moles of different elements contain an equal number of atoms it becomes convenient to express the amounts of the elements in terms of moles. A mole represents a definite number of particles viz, atoms, molecules, ions or electrons. This
definite number is called Avogadro number or Avogadro constant which is equal to 6.022 × 1023. Hence a mole represents 6.022 × 1023particles of the substance. One mole of substance represents one gram-formula of the substance.
One mole of a gas at standard temperature and pressure occupies 22.4 litres.
