Question

(i) A gas of mass 32gms has volume of 20 litres at S.T.P. Calculate the gram molecular weight of the gas.
(ii) How much Calcium oxide is formed when 82g of calcium nitrate is heated? Also find the volume of nitrogendioxide evolved :
2Ca(NO3)22CaO+4NO2+O2
(Ca=40,N=14,O=16)

Solution

(i) The mass of 22.4l of gas at S.T.P. is equal to its gram molecular mass.
20 litres of gas at S.T.P. weighs =32gms
22.4 litres of gas will weigh =3220×22.4
=35.84gms
36gms.
Therefore, Gram molecular weigh of the gas is 36gms.
(ii) 2Ca(NO3)22[40+2(14+48)]=328gmΔ−−−−−−−2CaO112gm+4NO24moles=4×22.4=89.6l+O2
1. If 328g of Ca(NO3)2 releases 112gm of CaO
Then 82g of Ca(NO3)2 will releases =112328×82
=28gms of CaO
2. If 328g of Ca(NO3)2 releases 89.6l of NO2 at STP
Then 82g of Ca(NO3)2 will releases =89.6328×82
=22.4 litres of nitrogendioxide.
