The following questions are case-based questions. Each question has an internal choiceandcarries4(2+1+1)
marks each. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.

Q29. Read the passage given below and answer the following questions.
The identity of a substance is defined not only by the types of atoms or ions it contains but by the quantity
of each type of atom or ion. The experimental approach required the introduction of a new unit for the
number of substances, the mole, which remains indispensable in modern chemical science. A mole is an
amount unit similar to familiar units like pair, dozen, gross, etc. It provides a specific measure of the
number of atoms or molecules in a bulk sample of matter. A mole is defined as the amount of substance

4
 containing the same number of discrete entities (atoms, molecules, ions, etc.) as the number of atoms in a
sample of pure 12C weighing exactly 12g. One Latin connotation for the word “mole” is “large mass” or
“bulk,” which is consistent with its use as the name for this unit. The mole provides a link between an
easily measured macroscopic property, bulk mass, and an extremely important fundamental property, the
number of atoms, molecules, and so forth. The number of entities composing a mole has been
experimentally determined to be 6.02214179 × 10 23. 6.02214179 × 1023, a fundamental constant named
Avogadro’s number (NA) or the Avogadro constant in honour of an Italian scientist Amedeo Avogadro.
This constant is properly reported with an explicit unit of “per mole,” a conveniently rounded version
being 6.022×1023/mol.

(a) A sample of copper sulfate pentahydrate contains 8.64 g of oxygen. How many grams of Cu is present

(b) The mass of oxygen gas which occupies 5.6 liters at STP could be________.
(c) The number of moles of oxygen in 1L of air containing 21% oxygen by volume, in standard conditions

OR

[Link] the passage given below and answer the following questions:
Redox reactions: Reactions which involve change in oxidation number of the interacting species.
Types of Redox Reactions

1.) Combination reactions -A combination reaction may be denoted in the manner:

A+B→C
Either A and B or both A and B must be in the elemental form for such a reaction to be a redox reaction.
All combustion reactions, which make use of elemental dioxygen, as well as other reactions involving
elements other than dioxygen, are redox reactions.

2.) Decomposition reactions- Decomposition reactions are the opposite of combination reactions. Precisely,
a decomposition reaction leads to the breakdown of a compound into two or more components at least
one of which must be in the elemental state.
It may carefully be noted that there is no change in the oxidation number of hydrogen in methane under
combination reactions and that of potassium in potassium chlorate in reaction. This may also be noted
here that all decomposition reactions are not redox reactions. For example, decomposition of calcium
carbonate is not a redox reaction.

3.) Displacement reactions- In a displacement reaction, an ion (or an atom) in a compound is replaced by an
ion (or an atom) of another element. It may be denoted as:
X + YZ → XZ + Y
Displacement reactions fit into two categories: metal displacement and non-metal displacement.
(a) Metal displacement: A metal in a compound can be displaced by another metal in the uncombine
state. Metal displacement reactions find many applications in metallurgical processes in which pure
metals are obtained from their compounds in ores.
(b) Non-metal displacement: The non-metal displacement redox reactions include hydrogen
displacement and a rarely occurring reaction involving oxygen displacement. All alkali metals and
some alkaline earth metals (Ca, Sr, and Ba) which are very good reductants, will displace hydrogen
from cold water. Many metals, including those which do not react with cold water, are capable of
displacing hydrogen from acids. Dihydrogen from acids may even be produced by such metals which
do not react with steam. Cadmium and tin are the examples of such metals.

4.) Disproportionation reactions – Disproportionation reactions are a special type of redox reactions. In a
disproportionation reaction an element in one oxidation state is simultaneously oxidised and reduced. One of
the reacting substances in a disproportionation reaction always contains an element that can exist in at least
three oxidation states. The element in the form of reacting substance is in the intermediate oxidation state;
and both higher and lower oxidation states of that element are formed in the reaction. The decomposition of
hydrogen peroxide is a familiar example of the reaction, where oxygen experiences disproportionation.

Answer the following questions-

(a) In ………….. reaction an ion (or an atom) in a compound is replaced by an ion (or an atom) of
another element.

(i) Mercury(II) chloride
