2Al + Fe2O3 → Al2O3 + 2Fe

Samacheer Kalvi 11th Chemistry Guide Chapter 1 Basic Concepts of Chemistry and Chemical Calculations 27
Molar mass of Al2O3 formed = 6mol × 102 g mol-1 = 612 g
[Al2O3 = (2 × 27) + (3 × 16) = 54 + 48 = 102]
Excess reagent = Fe2O3.
Amount of excess reagent left at the end of the reaction = 1 mol × 160 g mol-1 = 160 g
[Fe2O3 = (2 × 56) + (3 × 16) = 112 + 48 = 160 g] = 160 g

Question 40.
How many moles of ethane is requircd to produce 44 g of CO2 (g) after combustion. Balanced equation for the combustion of ethane.
Answer:
C2H6 + \(\frac{7}{2}\)O2 → 2CO2 + 3H2O
⇒ 2C2H6 + 7O2 → 4CO2 + 6H2O
∴ To produce 4 moles of CO2, 2 moles of ethane is required
To produce 1 mole (44g) of CO2 required number of moles of ethane
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) mole of ethane
= 0.5 mole of ethane

III. Short Question and Answers (3 Marks):

Question 1.
Describe the chemical classification of matter.
Answer:
Matter can be classified into mixtures and pure substances based on chemical compositions. Mixtures consists of more than one chemical entity present without any chemical interactions. They can be further classified as homogeneous or heterogeneous mixtures based on their physical appearance. Pure substances are composed of simple atoms or molecules. They are further classified as elements and compounds.

Question 2.
Distinguish between element and compound.
Answer:
An element consists of only one type of atom. Element can exists as monoatomic or polyatomic units. The polyatomic elements are called molecules.
Example: Monoatomic unit – Gold (Au), Copper (Cu);
Polyatomic unit: Hydrogen (H2), Phosphorous (P4).

Compounds are made up of molecules which contain two or more atoms of different elements.
Example: Carbon dioxide (CO2), Glucose (C6 H12 O6)

Properties of compounds are different from those of their constituent elements. For example, sodium is a shiny metal, and chlorine is an irritating gas. But the compound formed from these two elements, sodium chloride shows different characteristics as it is crystalline solid, vital for biological functions.

Question 3.
What is average atomic mass? How is average atomic mass of chlorine calculated?
Answer:
Average atomic mass is defined as the average of the atomic masses of all atoms in their naturally occurring isotopes. Chlorine consists of two naturally occurring isotopes 17Cl37 and 17Cl35 in the ratio 77 : 23, the average relative atomic mass of chlorine is

Gastric acid is a digestive fluid formed in the stomach and it contains hydrochloric acid. The typical concentration of the acid in gastric acid is 0.082 M. When the concentration exceeds 0.1M it causes heartburn and acidity. Antacids used to treat acidity contain mostly magnesium hydroxide or aluminium hydroxide that neutralizes the excess acid. The chemical reactions are as follows.

3 HCl + Al(OH)3 → AlCl3 + 3H2O
2HCl + Mg(OH)2 → MgCl2 + 2H2O.

From the above reactions, we know that 1 mole of aluminium hydroxide neutralizes 3 moles of HCl while 1 mole of magnesium hydroxide neutralizes 2 moles of HCl.

Question 6.
Explain gram equivalent mass.
Answer:
Gram equivalent mass of an element, compound, or ion is the mass that combines or displaces 1.008 g hydrogen or 8 g oxygen or 35.5 g chlorine.
Consider the following reaction:
Zn + H2 SO4 → ZnSO4 + H2
In this reaction, 1 mole of zinc (65.38 g) displaces one mole of hydrogen molecule (2.016 g). Mass of zinc required to displace 1.008 g hydrogen is
= \(\frac{65.38}{2.016}\) × 1.008
= \(\frac{65.38}{2}\)
= 32.69
The equivalent mass of zinc = 32.69
The gram equivalent mass of zinc = 32.69 g eq-1.
The expression used to calculate gram equivalent mass is
Gram equivalent mass = Molar mass(g mol-1) / Equivalence factor (eq mol-1)

Question 7.

IV. Long Question and Answers:

Question 1.
What is a matter? Explain its classification.
Answer:
Matter is defined as anything that has mass and occupies space. All matter is composed of atoms.

Physical Classification:
Matter can be classified as solids, liquids and gases based on their physical state. The physical state of matter can be converted into one another by modifying the temperature and pressure suitably.

Chemical Classification:
Samacheer Kalvi 11th Chemistry Guide Chapter 1 Basic Concepts of Chemistry and Chemical Calculations 19
Classification of Matter

Matter can be classified into mixtures and pure substances based on chemical compositions. Mixtures consists of more than one chemical entity present without any chemical interactions. They can be further classified as homogeneous or heterogeneous mixtures based on their physical appearance. Pure substances are composed of simple atoms or molecules. They are further classified as elements and compounds.

An element consists of only one type of atom. Element can exists as monoatomic or polyatomic units. The polyatomic elements are called molecules.
Example: Monoatomic unit – Gold (Au), Copper (Cu);
Polyatomic unit: Hydrogen (H2), Phosphorous (P4).

Compounds are made up of molecules which contain two or more atoms of different elements.
Example: Carbon dioxide (CO2), Glucose (C6H12O6)
Properties of compounds are different from those of their constituent elements. For example, sodium is a shiny metal, and chlorine is an irritating gas. But the compound formed from these two elements, sodium chloride shows different characteristics as it is a crystalline solid, vital for biological function.

Question 2.
How is empirical formula of a compound determined from the elemental analysis?
Answer:
The empirical formula of a compound determined from the elemental analysis by the following steps.
(i) Since the composition is expressed in percentage, we can consider the total mass of the compound as 100 g and the percentage values of individual elements as a mass in grams.
(ii) Divide the mass of each element by its atomic mass. This gives the relative number of moles of various elements in the compound.
(iii) Divide the value of a relative number of moles obtained in the step – (ii) by the smallest number of them to get the simplest ratio.
(iv) In case the simplest ratios obtained in step – (iii) are not whole numbers then they may be converted into the whole numbers by multiplying a suitable smallest number.

What is an oxidation number? State the rules to find the oxidation number.
Answer:
Oxidation number is defined as the imaginary charge left on the atom when all other atoms of the compound have been removed in their usual oxidation states that are assigned according to set of rules. A term that is often used interchangeably with oxidation number is oxidation state.

  1. The oxidation state of a free element (i.e., uncombined state) is zero.
    Example: H2 Cl2, Na, and S8 have the oxidation number of zero.
  2. For a monoatomic ion, the oxidation state is equal to the net charge on the ion.
    Example: The oxidation number of sodium in Na+ is +1.
    The oxidation number of chlorine in Cl is -1.
  3. The algebraic sum of oxidation states of all atoms in a molecule is equal to zero, while in ions, it is equal to the net charge on the ion.
    Example: In H2SO4, 2 × (oxidation number of hydrogen) + 1 × (oxidation number of sulphur) + 4 × (oxidation number of oxygen) = 0.
  4. Hydrogen has an oxidation number of +1 in all its compounds except in metal hydrides where it has -1 value.
    Example: Oxidation number of hydrogen in hydrogen chloride (HCl) is + 1.
    Oxidation number of hydrogen in sodium hydride (NaH) is -1.
  5. Fluorine has an oxidation state of -1 in all its compounds.
  6. The oxidation state of oxygen in most compounds is -2. Exceptions are peroxides, superoxides, and compounds with fluorine.

Samacheer Kalvi 11th Chemistry Guide Chapter 1 Basic Concepts of Chemistry and Chemical Calculations 23

The oxidation number of Mn in KMnO4 changes from +7 to +2 by gaining five electrons and the oxidation number of Fe FeSO4 changes from +2 to +3 by loosing one electron.
Since the total number of electrons lost is equal to the total number of electrons gained, the number of electrons, by cross multiplication of the respective formula with suitable integers on reactant side.

Samacheer Kalvi 11th Chemistry Guide Chapter 1 Basic Concepts of Chemistry and Chemical Calculations 24

Based on the reactant side, the products are balanced.

2KMnO4 + 10 FeSO4 + H2SO4 → K2SO4 + MnSO4 + Fe( SO4)3 + H2O

Balance the other elements except H and O atoms. K and S are balanced as follows

2KMnO4 + 10 FeSO4 + H2SO4 → K2SO4 + MnSO4 + Fe( SO4)3 + H2O
The difference of 8 – S atoms in reactant side, has to be balanced by multiplying H2SO4 by ‘8’. The equation now becomes,

2KMnO4 + 10 FeSO4 + 8 H2SO4 → K2SO4 + MnSO4 + Fe( SO4)3 + H2O

‘H’ and ‘O’ atoms are balanced by multiplying H2O molecules in the product side by ‘8’.

2KMnO4 + 10 FeSO4 + 8 H2SO4 → K2SO4 + 2 MnSO4 + 5 Fe( SO4)3 + 8 H2O
The above equation is a balanced equation.

Question 8.
How is the following equation ¡s balanced by Ion electron method?
MnO4 + Fe2+ + H+ → Mn2+ + Fe3+ + H2O.
Answer:
Using the oxidation number concept, the reactants which undergoes oxidation and reduction are as follows;
Samacheer Kalvi 11th Chemistry Guide Chapter 1 Basic Concepts of Chemistry and Chemical Calculations 25
The two half reactions are,
Fe2+ → Fe3+ + 1e ……….(1)
MnO4 + 5e + 8H+ → Mn2+ + 4H2O ……….(2)
Balancing the atoms and charges on both sides of the half reactions.
There is no change in the equation (1) whereas in equation (2), there are four ‘O’ atoms on the reractant side .
Therefore, four H2 is added on the product side, to balance ‘H’ – add, 8 H+ in the reactant side.
MnO4 + 5e + 8H+ → Mn2+ + 4H2O ………..(3)
The two half reactions are equated in such a way that the number of electrons lost is equal to number of electrons gained.
Adding the two half reactions as follows:
(1) × 5 5 Fe2+ → 5 Fe3+ + 5e ……………(4)
(3) × 1 MnO4 + 5e + 8H+ → Mn2+ + 4H2O ………(5)

(4) + (5)
MnO4 + 5Fe2+ + 8H+ → Mn2+ + 5 Fe3+ + 4H2O ………..(6)
The equation (6) is a balanced equation.
