Q1.
0.5 mol N2 = 0.5 × 6.022 × 1023 molecules = 3.01 × 1023 molecules; each has 2 atoms = 6.02 × 1023 atoms.
Q2.
Molecular mass = 2(1) + 32 + 4(16) = 2 + 32 + 64 = 98u.
Q3.
Moles = mass/molar mass; H2 has lowest molar mass (2g), hence maximum moles and molecules.
Q4.
Formula mass = 3(40) + 2(31) + 8(16) = 120 + 62 + 128 = 310u.
Q5.
Conservation of mass states atoms can neither be created nor destroyed in chemical reactions.
Q6.
Molar mass of CO2 = 44g; moles = 88/44 = 2 moles.
Q7.
Phosphorus exists as P4 molecules, so atomicity = 4.

1 mole of any substance contains Avogadro's number of particles = 6.022 × 1023.
Q12.
Mass = 6.022 × 1023 × 9.1 × 10-31 = 5.48 × 10-7 kg.
Q13.
Simplest ratio: C:H:O = 6:12:6 = 1:2:1; empirical formula = CH2O.
Q14.
Law of definite proportions states elements combine in fixed mass ratios.
Q15.

Q16.
Moles = 10/100 = 0.1; atoms in CaCO3 = 5; total = 0.1 × 5 × 6.022 × 1023 = 3.01 × 1023.
Q17.
Moles = 1.8/18 = 0.1 mole.
Q18.
Molecular mass = 2 × vapor density = 2 × 16 = 32u.

18g CH4 = 18/16 = 1.125 mol; each has 5 atoms; maximum total atoms.
Q20.
All pairs show same elements combining in different ratios by mass.
Q21.
Molar mass = mass of 1 mole = 6.022 × 1023 particles.
Q22.
Ozone = O3; contains 3 oxygen atoms, atomicity = 3.
Q23.
Molecular mass = 14 + 3(1) = 17u.
Q24.
Equal moles contain equal number of molecules (Avogadro's law).
Q25.
Oxygen atoms: 3 (from CO3) + 10 (from 10H2O) = 13; total = 0.1 × 13 × 6.022 × 1023 = 1.3 × 6.022 × 1023.
