Q2 of 27 Page 47

Examine the samples given:

a. 20 g of He


b. 44.8 L of NH3 at STP


c. 67.2 L of N2 at STP


d. 1 mol of H2SO4


e. 180 g of water


What will be the masses of samples b, c and d?

Calculation of mass:

For 44.8 L of NH3 at STP (b)


Number of moles = 2 (calculated in part (i)-b)


Now, we can calculate the mass of NH3 by applying the formula given:



We can write,


Mass of NH3 = Number of moles × GMM of NH3


Mass of NH3 = 2 × 17g


Mass of NH3 = 34g


Thus, mass of 44.8L of NH3 at STP is 34g


For 67.2 L of N2 at STP (c)


Number of moles = 3 (calculated in part (i)-c)


Now, we can calculate the mass of N2 by applying the formula given:



We can write,


Mass of N2 = Number of moles × GMM of N2


Mass of N2 = 3 × 28g


Mass of N2 = 84g


Thus, mass of 67.2 L of N2 at STP is 84g


1 mol of H2SO4


Number of moles = 1


Now, we can calculate the mass of H2SO4 by applying the formula given:



We can write,


Mass of H2SO4 = Number of moles × GMM of H2SO4


Mass of H2SO4 = 1 × 98g


Mass of H2SO4 = 98g


Thus, mass of 1 mol of H2SO4 is 98g
