Answer:
- Quantitative analysis of organic compounds involves methods such as determination of percentage of constituent elements, concentrations of a known compound in the given sample, etc.
- Quantitative analysis of simple inorganic compounds involves methods such as gravimetric analysis (i.e., decomposition, precipitation, etc.) and the titrimetric or volumetric analysis (i.e., progress of reaction between two solutions till its completion).
- The quantitative analytical methods involve measurement of quantities such as mass and volume using some equipment/apparatus such as weighing machine, burette, etc.
Question 12.
Why is accurate measurement crucial in science?
Answer:
- The accuracy of measurement is of a great concern in analytical chemistry. This is because faulty equipment, poor data processing or human error can lead to inaccurate measurements. Also, there can be intrinsic errors in the analytical measurement.
- When measurements are not accurate, this provides incorrect data that can lead to wrong conclusions. For example, if a laboratory experiment requires a specific amount of a chemical, then measuring the wrong amount may result in an unsafe or unexpected outcome.
- Hence, the numerical data obtained experimentally are treated mathematically to reach some quantitative conclusion.
- Also, an analytical chemist has to know how to report the quantitative analytical data, indicating the extent of the accuracy of measurement, perform the mathematical operation and properly express the quantitative error in the result.
Question 13.
Why are scientific notations (exponential notations) used?
Answer:
A chemist has to deal with numbers as large as 602,200,000,000,000,000,000,000 for the molecules of 2 g of hydrogen gas or as small as 0.00000000000000000000000166 g. that is, mass of a H atom. To avoid the writing of so many zeros in mathematical operations, scientific notations i.e. exponential notations are used.
Question 14.
How are numbers expressed in scientific notations (exponential notations)?
Answer:
In scientific notations, numbers are expressed in the form of N × 10n, where ‘n’ is an exponent with positive or negative values and N can have a value between 1 to 10.
e.g. i. The number, 602,200,000,000,000,000,000,000 is expressed as 6.022 × 1023.
ii. The mass of a H atom, 0.00000000000000000000000166 g is expressed as 1.66 × 10-24 g.
iii. The number 123.546 is written as 1.23546 × 102.
iv. The number 0.00015 is written as 1.5 × 10-4.

Question 16.
Define: Accuracy of measurement
Answer:
Nearness of the measured value to the true value is called the accuracy of measurement.
Question 17.
Explain with the help of a diagram how accuracy depends upon the sensitivity or least count of the measuring equipment.
Answer:
A burette reading of 10.2 mL is as shown in the diagram below:
- For all the three situations in the above figure, the reading would be noted is 10.2 mL.
- It means that there is an uncertainty about the digit appearing after the decimal point in the reading 10.2 mL because the least count of the burette is 0.1 mL.
- The meaning of the reading 10.2 mL is that the true value of the reading lies between 10.1 mL and 10.3 mL.
- This is indicated by writing 10.2 ± 0.1 mL.
- Here, the burette reading has an error of ± 0.1 mL.
- Smaller the error, higher is the accuracy.
Question 18.
How is absolute error calculated?
Answer:
Absolute error is calculated by subtracting true value from observed value.
Absolute error = Observed value – Tme value
Question 19.
Explain the term: Relative error
Answer:
- Relative error is the ratio of an absolute error to the true value.
- Relative error is generally a more useful quantity than absolute error.
- Relative error is expressed as a percentage and can be calculated as follows:
Relative error = \(\frac{\text { Absolute error }}{\text { True value }} \times 100 \%\)
Question 20.
Explain the term: Precision in measurement
Answer:
- Multiple readings of the same quantity are noted to minimize the error.
- If the multiple readings of the same quantity match closely, they are said to have high precision.
- High precision implies reproducibility of the readings.
- High precision is a prerequisite for high accuracy.
- Precision is expressed in terms of deviation (i.e. absolute deviation and relative deviation).
Question 21.
Explain the following terms with respect to precise measurement:
i. Absolute deviation
ii. Mean absolute deviation
iii. Relative deviation
Answer:
i. Absolute deviation: An absolute deviation is the modulus of the difference between an observed value and the arithmetic mean for the set of several measurements made in the same way. It is a measure of absolute error in the repeated observation. It is expressed as follows:
Absolute deviation = |Observed value – Mean|
ii. Mean absolute deviation: Arithmetic mean of all the absolute deviations is called the mean absolute deviation in the measurements.
iii. Relative deviation: The ratio of mean absolute deviation to its arithmetic mean is called relative deviation. It is expressed as follows:
Relative deviation = \(\frac{\text { Mean absolute deviation }}{\text { Mean }}\) × 100%
Question 22.
Explain the need of significant figures in measurement.
Answer:
- Uncertainty in measured value leads to uncertainty in calculated result.
- Uncertainty in a value is indicated by mentioning the number of significant figures in that value. e.g. Consider, the column reading 10.2 ± 0.1 mL recorded on a burette having the least count of 0.1 mL. Here, it is said that the last digit ‘2’ in the reading is uncertain, its uncertainty is ±0.1 mL. On the other hand, the figure ‘10’ is certain.
- The significant figures in a measurement or result are the number of digits known with certainty plus one uncertain digit.
- In a scientific experiment, a result is obtained by doing calculation in which values of a number of quantities measured with equipment of different least counts are used.

Question 25.
State the rules used to round off a number to the required number of significant figures.
Answer:
The following rules are used to round off a number to the required number of significant figures:
- If the digit following the last digit to be kept is less than five, the last digit is left unchanged, e.g. 46.32 rounded off to two significant figures is 46.
- If the digit following the last digit to be kept is five or more, the last digit to be kept is increased by one. e.g. 52.87 rounded to three significant figures is 52.9.
Question 26.

i. 1.223 to two digits
ii. 12.56 to three digits
iii. 122.17 to four digits
iv. 231.5 to three digits
Answer:
i. 1.223 to two digits = 1.2
This is because the third digit is less than 5, so we drop it and all the other digits to its right.
ii. 12.56 to three digits = 12.6
This is because the fourth digit is greater than 5, so we drop it and add 1 to the third digit.
iii. 122.17 to four digits = 122.2
This is because the fifth digit is greater than 5, so we drop it and add 1 to the fourth digit.
iv. 231.5 to three digits = 232
This is because the fourth digit is 5, so we drop it and add 1 to the third digit.

Solution:
Given: Percentage of H, C and Cl = 4.07% , 24.27% and 71.65% by mass respectively.
To find: Empirical formula and molecular formula
Calculation: Step I:
Check whether the sum of all the percentages is 100.
4.07 + 24.27 + 71.65 = 99.99 ≈ 100
Therefore, no need to consider presence of oxygen atom in the molecule.

A compound with molar mass 159 was found to contain 39.62% copper and 20.13% sulphur. Suggest molecular formula for the compound (Atomic masses: Cu = 63, S = 32 and O = 16).
Solution:
Given: Atomic mass of Cu = 63, S = 32, and O = 16
Percentage of copper and sulphur = 39.62% and 20.13% respectively.
To find: The molecular formula of the compound
Calculation: % copper + % sulphur = 39.62 + 20.13 = 59.75
This is less than 100 %. Hence, compound contains adequate oxygen so that the total percentage of elements is 100%.
Hence, % of oxygen = 100 – 59.75 = 40.25%
Hence, empirical formula is CuSO4.
Empirical formula mass = 63 + 32 +16 × 4 = 159 g mol-1

Given: Atomic mass of K = 39 u, Mn = 59 u, and O = 16 u.
Percentage of potassium and manganese = 24.75 % and 34.75% respectively
To find: The empirical formula of the given inorganic compound
Calculation: Percentage of potassium = 24.75%
Percentage of manganese = 34.75%
Total percentage = 59.50%

Mass of methane consumed in reaction = 24 g
Atomic mass: C = 12 u, H = 1 u, O = 16 u
To find: Mass of carbon dioxide and water formed
Calculation: The balanced chemical equation is,
Hence, 16 g of CH4 on complete combustion will produce 44 g of CO2.
∴ 24 g of CH4 = \(\frac {24}{16}\) × 44 = 66 g of CO2
Similarly, 16 g of CH4 will produce 36 g of water.
∴ 24 g of CH4 = \(\frac {24}{16}\) × 36 = 54 g of water
Ans: Mass of carbon dioxide and water formed respectively are 66 g and 54 g.
Question 49.
How much CaO will be produced by decomposition of 5 g CaCO3?
Solution:
Given: Mass of CaCO3 consumed in reaction = 5 g

So, 100 g of CaCO3 produce 56 g of CaO.
Ans: Mass of CaO produced = 2.8 g
Question 50.
How many litres of oxygen at STP are required to burn completely 2.2 g of propane, C3H8 ?
Solution:
Given: Mass of propane used up in reaction = 2.2 g
To find: Volume of oxygen required at STP
Calculation:
The balanced chemical equation for the combustion of propane is,
(∵ 1 mol of ideal gas occupies 22.4 L of volume at STP)
Thus, 44 g of propane require 112 litres of oxygen at STP for complete combustion.
∴ 2.2 g of propane will require
\(\frac {112}{44}\) × 2.2 = 5.6 litres of O2 at STP for complete combustion.
Ans: Volume of O2 (at STP) required to bum 2.2 g propane = 5.6 litres
Question 51.
A piece of zinc weighing 0.635 g when treated with excess of dilute H2SO4 liberated 200 cm3 hydrogen at STP. Calculate the percentage purity of the zinc sample.
Solution:
Given: Mass of zinc = 0.635 g, volume of H2 liberated = 200 cm3
To find: % purity of zinc sample
Calculation: The relevant balanced chemical equation is,
Zn + H2SO4 → ZnSO4 + H2
It indicates that 22.4 L of hydrogen at STP = 65 g of Zn.
(where, atomic mass of Zn = 65 u)
∴ 0.200 L of hydrogen at STP
= \(\frac{65 \mathrm{~g}}{22.4 \mathrm{~L}}\) × 200 L
= 0.5803 g of Zn
∴ Percentage purity of Zn = \(\frac{0.5803}{0.635}\) × 100
= 91.37 % (by using log tables)
Ans: Percentage purity of Zn sample = 91.37%
[Calculation using log table:
\(\frac{65 \times 0.200}{22.4}\)
= Antilog10 [log10 (65) + log10 (0.200) – log10 (22.4)]
= Antilog10 [1.8129 + \(\overline{1} .3010\) – 1.3502]
= Antilog10 [latex]\overline{1} .7637[/latex] = 0.5803
\(\frac{0.5803}{0.635} \times 100=\frac{58.03}{0.635}\)
= Antilog10 [log10 (58.03) – log10 (0.635)]
= Antilog10 [1.7636 – \(\overline{1} .8028\)]
= Antilog10 [1.9608] = 91.37]
Question 52.
Explain with the help of a chemical reaction how limiting reagent works.
Answer:
- Consider the formation of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) from nitric oxide (NO) and oxygen.
2NO(g) + O2(g) → 2NO2(g) - Suppose initially, we take 8 moles of NO and 7 moles of O2.
- To determine the limiting reagent, calculate the number of moles NO2 produced from the given initial quantities of NO and O2. The limiting reagent will yield the smaller amount of the product.
- Starting with 8 moles of NO, the number of NO2 produced is,
8 mol NO × \(\frac{2 \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{NO}_{2}}{2 \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{NO}}\) = 8 mol NO2 - Starting with 7 moles of O2, the number of moles NO2 produced is,
7 mol O2 × \(\frac{2 \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{NO}_{2}}{1 \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{NO}}\) = 14 mol NO2 - Since, 8 moles NO result in a smaller amount of NO2, NO is the limiting reagent, and O2 is the excess reagent, before reaction has started.
Question 53.
Urea [(NH2)2CO] is prepared by reacting ammonia with carbon dioxide.
2NH3(g) + CO2(g) → (NH2)2CO(aq) + H2O(l)
In one process, 637.2 g of NH3 are treated with 1142 g of CO2.
i. Which of the two reactants is the limiting reagent?
ii. Calculate the mass of (NH2)2CO formed.
iii. How much excess reagent (in grams) is left at the end of the reaction?
Solution:
i. If 637.2 g of NH3 react completely, calculate the number of moles of (NH2)2CO, that could be produced, by the following relation.
Mass of NH3 → Moles of NH3 → Moles of (NH2)2CO
If 1142 g of CO2 react completely, calculate the number of moles of (NH2)2CO, that could be produced, by the following relation.
Mass of CO2 → Moles of CO2 → Moles of (NH2)2CO
Since NH3 produces smaller amount of (NH2)2CO, the limiting reagent is NH3.
iii. Starting with 18.71 moles of (NH2)2CO, we can determine the mass of CO2 that reacted using the mole ratio from the balanced equation and the molar mass of CO2 by the following relation.
Moles of (NH2)2CO → Moles of CO2 → Grams of CO2
The amount of CO2 remaining = 1142 g – 823.4 g = 318.6 g ≈ 319 g CO2 remaining
Ans: i. Limiting reagent = NH3
ii. Mass of (NH2)2CO produced = 1124 g
iii. Mass of CO2 remaining = 319 g
Question 54.
6 g of H2 reacts with 32 g of O2 to yield water. Which is the limiting reactant? Find the mass of water produced and the amount of excess reagent left.
Solution:
i. The reaction is: 2H2(g) + O2(g) → 2H2O(l)
If 6 g of H2 react completely, calculate the number of moles of H2O, that could be produced, by the following relation.
Mass of H2 → Moles of H2 → Moles of H2O
If 32 g of O2 react completely, calculate the number of moles of H2O, that could be produced, by the following relation.
Mass of O2 → Moles of O2 → Moles of H2O
Since O2 produces smaller amount of H2O, the limiting reagent is O2.
iii. Starting with 2 moles of H2O, we can determine the mass of H2 that reacted using the mole ratio from the balanced equation and the molar mass of H2 by the following relation.
Moles of H2O → Moles of H2 → Grams of H2
The amount of H2 remaining = 6g – 4g = 2g H2 remaining
Ans: i. Limiting reagent = O2
ii. Mass of H2O produced = 36 g
iii. Mass of H2 remaining = 2 g

Solution:
Given: Molarity of the solution = 3 M, density of the solution = 1.25 g mL-1
To find: Molality of the solution
Formula:

∴ Mass of NaCl in 1 L solution = 3 × 58.5 = 175.5 g
Mass of 1 L solution = 1000 × 1.25 = 1250 g (∵ Density = 1.25 g mL-1)
Mass of water in solution = 1250 – 175.5 = 1074.5 g = 1.0745 kg
Ans: Molality of the NaCl solution = 2.790 m
[Calculation using log table:
\(\frac{3}{1.0745}\)
= Antilog10 [log10 (3) – log10 (1.0745)]
= Antilog10 [0.4771 – 0.0315]

Question 65.
Explain in brief: Use of graphs in analytical chemistry.
Answer:
i. Analytical chemistry often involves deducing some relation between two or more properties of matter under study.
ii. For example, the relation between temperature and volume of a given amount of gas.
iii. A set of experimentally measured values of volume and temperature of a definite mass of a gas upon plotting on a graph paper appears as in the figure below:
iv. When the points are directly connected, a zig zag pattern results as shown below:
From the above pattern, no meaningful result can be deduced.
v. A smooth curve (or average curve) passing through these points can be drawn as shown below. This straight line is consistent with the V ∝ T .
vi. While fitting the points into a smooth curve, all the plotted points should be evenly distributed. This can be verified mathematically, by drawing a perpendicular from each point to the curve. The perpendicular represents deviation of each point from the curve. Take sum of all the perpendiculars on side of the line and sum of all the perpendiculars on another side of the line separately. If the two sums are equal (or nearly equal), the curve drawn shows the experimental points in the best possible representation
Question 66.
1.5 g of an impure sample of sodium sulphate dissolved in water was treated with excess of barium chloride solution when 1.74 g of BaSO4 was obtained as dry precipitate. Calculate the percentage purity of the sample.
Solution:
The chemical equation representing the reaction is:
To calculate the mass of Na2SO4 from which 1.74 g of BaSO4 is obtained:
233 g of BaSO4 is produced from 142 g of Na2SO4.
∴ Mass of Na2SO4 from which 1.74 g of BaSO4 would be obtained = \(\frac {142}{233}\) × 1.74 = 1.06 g
∴ The mass of pure Na2SO4 present in 1.5 g of impure sample = 1.06 g
To calculate the percentage purity of the impure sample:
1.5 g of impure sample contains 1.06 g of pure Na2SO4
∴ 100 g of the impure sample will contain = \(\frac{1.06}{1.5}\) × 100 = 70.67 g of pure Na2SO4
Ans: Percentage purity of the sample is 70.67 %.
Question 67.

Solution:
Calculation of total Ca(HCO3)2 present:
10 L of water contains 1.62 g of Ca(HCO3)
∴ 50,000 L of water will contain \(\frac{1.62}{10}\) × 50,000 = 8100 g of Ca(HCO3)
Calculation of lime required:
The balanced equation for the reaction:
∴ 162 g of Ca(HCO3) requires 74 g of lime.
Mass of lime required by 8100 g of Ca(HCO3) = \(\frac {74}{162}\) × 8100 g = 3700 g = 3.7 kg
Ans: The amount of lime required to remove hardness of 50,000 L of well water, with 1.62 g of calcium bicarbonate per 10 L, is 3.7 kg.
