| List - I | List - II ($\Delta_0$) | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| A. | 16 g of $\mathrm{CH_4~(g)}$ | I. | Weighs 28 g |
| B. | 1 g of $\mathrm{H_2~(g)}$ | II. | $60.2\times10^{23}$ electrons |
| C. | 1 mole of $\mathrm{N_2~(g)}$ | III. | Weighs 32 g |
| D. | 0.5 mol of $\mathrm{SO_2~(g)}$ | IV. | Occupies 11.4 L volume of STP |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Solution
<p>A. 16 g of $\mathrm{CH_4~(g)}$</p>
<p>The molar mass of $\mathrm{CH_4}$ (Methane) is 16 g/mol. Therefore, 16 g of $\mathrm{CH_4}$ is equivalent to 1 mole of $\mathrm{CH_4}$. Furthermore, each molecule of $\mathrm{CH_4}$ has 10 electrons (6 from Carbon and 4 from Hydrogen). As a result, 1 mole of $\mathrm{CH_4}$ (or $6.022 \times 10^{23}$ molecules of $\mathrm{CH_4}$) would have $10 \times 6.022 \times 10^{23} = 60.2 \times 10^{23}$ electrons. This matches with (II).</p>
<p>B. 1 g of $\mathrm{H_2~(g)}$</p>
<p>The molar mass of $\mathrm{H_2}$ (Hydrogen) is 2 g/mol. Therefore, 1 g of $\mathrm{H_2}$ is equivalent to 0.5 moles of $\mathrm{H_2}$. The volume that a given quantity of gas occupies is proportional to the number of moles of gas. At standard temperature and pressure (STP), 1 mole of any ideal gas occupies 22.4 liters. Therefore, 0.5 moles of gas would occupy $0.5 \times 22.4 = 11.2$ liters. The closest match is (IV) with 11.4 liters (the small discrepancy may be due to rounding or slightly different conditions than STP).</p>
<p>C. 1 mole of $\mathrm{N_2~(g)}$</p>
<p>The molar mass of $\mathrm{N_2}$ (Nitrogen) is 28 g/mol. Therefore, 1 mole of $\mathrm{N_2}$ weighs 28 g. This matches with (I).</p>
<p>D. 0.5 mol of $\mathrm{SO_2~(g)}$</p>
<p>The molar mass of $\mathrm{SO_2}$ (Sulfur Dioxide) is 64 g/mol. Therefore, 0.5 moles of $\mathrm{SO_2}$ weigh $0.5 \times 64 = 32$ g. This matches with (III).</p>
<p>Thus, the correct matches are:</p>
<p>A - II</p>
<p>B - IV</p>
<p>C - I</p>
<p>D - III</p>
