NCERT Solutions for Class 11 Chemistry Chapter 1 Some Basic Concepts of Chemistry 8

Question 7.
How much copper can be obtained from 100 g of copper sulphate (CuS04) ?
Solution:
Molar mass of CuSO4 = 63.5 + 32 + 4 × 16 =63.5 +  32 + 64 = 159.5 amu or u
159.5 g of CuSO4 contains copper = 63.5 g
100 g of CuSO4 contains copper = \(\frac { 63.5 }{ 159.5 } \times 100 \) = 39.81 g

Question 8.
Determine the molecular formula of an oxide of iron in which the mass per cent of iron and oxygen are 69.9 and 30.1 respectively.
Solution.
For empirical formula, Fe2O3.
Molecular mass of Fe2O3 x 1 =  2 x 56 + 3 x 16 = 112 + 48 = 160
Molecular formula = u (Empirical formula)
∴ \(n=\frac { Molecular\quad mass }{ Empirical\quad formula\quad mass } =\frac { 160 }{ 160 } \Rightarrow n=1\)
∴ Molecular formula = (Fe2O3) x 1 = (Fe2O3)
