NCERT Solution, MCQs, Study Notes, Q & A By JSUNIL

Q.1: The average atomic mass of a sample of  an element X is 16.2 u. What is the % of isotopes 168X   and  18 8X in the sample?

Ans: Let % of isotopes 168X   is y then  18 8X in the sample is 100-y
16.2 = y% of 16 + (100-y)%of18
Þ 16.2 x100 = 16y+1800-18y
Þ1620-1800 =-2y
Þ 180=2y
Þy = 90%
% of isotopes 168X   is y =  90%  then 18 8X in the sample is 100-y =100-90=10%

Q2: Why is it not possible to see an atom with naked eyes?

Answer: The size of an atom is so small that it cannot be seen by naked eye or by simple optical instruments. e.g. Considering an atom a sphere, the radius of Hydrogen atom is approximately 10nano-metres (1 nm = 10-9m).
To see atoms of different elements, a special type of microscope called scanning tunnelling microscope  (STM) is used.

Q3: Name the element having following Latin names
(i)   Stibium          (ii)  Cuprum        (iii) Argentum      (iv) Natrium
(v)  Stannum       (vi) Wolfram      (vii) plumbum    (viii) Kalium
Answer:
(i)   Stibium - Antimony (Sb)          (ii)  Cuprum - Copper (Cu)
(iii) Argentum - Silver(Ag)              (iv) Natrium - Sodium (Na)
(v)  Stannum - Tin (Sn)              (vi) Wolfram - Tungeston (W)
(vii) plumbum - Lead (Pb)              (viii) Kalium - Potassium (K)

Q4: What is the significance of a chemical symbol?
Ans: The symbol of an element has the following significance:
  1. Symbol stands for the name of the element in while representing chemical formula and chemical equations.
  2. it stands for one atom of the element.
  3. it represents quantity of the element in terms of mass, moles or gram-atomic mass etc. while computing chemical reactions.
Q5: Why do atoms of the most of the elements not exist independently?

Answer: Atoms of the most of the elements are reactive by nature. They are not able to exist independently and form molecules and ions.

Q6: What is the atomic mass unit?

Answer: The mass equal to 1/12th of the mass of  126C atom is called the one atomic mass unit. It is 1.66 × 10-27 kg.  It is represented by symbol 'u' (older symbol 'amu').
            1 u  = 1/12th of the mass of carbon-12 atom.

Q7: Magnesium is two times heavier than C-12 atom, what shall be the mass of Mg atom in terms of atomic mass units? (Given mass of C-12 atom = 12u)
Answer:  1 u = 1/12th of C-12 atom mass of C-12 atom = 12u

Mass of Mg is twice of C-12 atom = 2 ×12u  = 24u

Q8. What is relative atomic mass  of an element? How it is related to atomic mass unit?

Ans: The relative atomic mass (Ar) of an element is the average relative mass of an element of the element with respect to an atom of Carbon-12 taken as 12u.

Average mass of 1 atom of an element
Relative Atomic mass of an element=  1/12th of Mass of one C-12 atom
The relative atomic mass is a pure number and has no units. It indicates number of times one atom of an element is heavier than 1/12th of C-12 atom.
Relative atomic mass is also called average atomic mass
Atomic mass is expressed in amu or u while relative atomic mass is a number.

Q.9. Give the names of the elements present in the following compounds.
(a) Quick lime (b) Hydrogen bromide  (c) Baking powder 
(d) Potassium sulphate.
Answer:
(a) Quick lime: Calcium Oxide (CaO), Elements Present: Calcium(Ca), Oxygen(O)
(b) Hydrogen bromide: HBr, Elements Present: Hydrogen (H), Bromine(Br)
(c) Baking powder: Sodium Bicarbonate (NaHCO3Elements Present: Sodium(Na), Hydrogen(H), Carbon(C) and Oxygen(O).
(d) Potassium sulphate: K2SO4Elements Present:Potassium(K), Sulphur(S), Oxygen(O)

Q.10. What are the postulates of Dalton's atomic theory?

AnsThe postulates of Dalton's atomic theory are:
  1. All matter is made of very tiny particles called atoms.
  2. Atoms are indivisible particles i.e. can neither be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction. (Law of Conservation of mass)
  3. Atoms of a give element have same mass and identical chemical properties.
  4. Atoms of different elements have different masses and chemical properties.
  5. Atoms combine in the ratio of small whole numbers to form compounds. A chemical reaction is a re-arrangement of atoms. (Law of Multiple Proportions)
  6. The relative number and kinds of atoms are constant in a given compound. (Law of Definite Proportions)

X Class 10 NCERT Activity Explanation Class 10 Metals and Non Metals Activity 3.1 Page No. 37 Take samples of iron, copper, aluminium and magnesium. Note the appearance of each sample. They have a shining surface. Clean the surface of each sample by rubbing them with sand paper and note their appearance again. They become more shiny. => Freshly cut Metal have shiny surface Activity 3.2 Page No. 37 Take small pieces of iron, copper, aluminium, and magnesium. Try to cut these metals with a sharp knife and note your observations. They are very hard to cut. Hold a piece of sodium metal with a pair of tongs and try to cut it with a knife. Sodium can be cut easily with knife. Hence K and Na are soft metal cut with knife Activity 3.3 Page No. 38 Take pieces of iron, zinc, lead and copper try to strike it four or five times with a hammer. These metals are beaten into thin sheet on hammering. This property of metal is called malleability and metals are called malleable. Activity 3.4 Page

CBSE I NCERT 10th Numerical Problem solved Reflection and reflection of light

Q. 1. A concave mirror of focal length 20cm is placed 50 cm from a wall. How far from the wall an object be placed to form its real image on the wall?  Solution: V= -50 cm F= -20cm From mirror formula 1/u = 1/f – 1/v = -1/20+ 1/50 = - 3/100  U = - 33.3 cm Therefore, the distance of the object from the wall x =  50 – u X = 50 – 33.3 = 16.7 cm. Q.2. An object is placed at a distance of 40cm from a concave mirror of focal length 15cm. If the object is displaced through a distance of 20 cm towards the mirror, By how much distance is the image displaced? Answer: Here f = - 15 cm, u = - 40 cm Now 1/f = 1/u + 1/v Then 1/v = 1/f – 1/u Or V= uf/u-f =( - 40 x -15)/25 = -24 cm Then object is displaced towards the mirror let u1 be the distance object from the Mirror in its new position. Then u1 = -(40-20) = -20cm If the image is formed at a distance u1 from the mirror then v1 = u1f/u1-f = -20X-15/-20+15 = -60 cm. = - 20 x-15/-20+15 = -60 cm. Therefor
