Basic question of chemistry for 11th and 12th students





1.Question: The most abundant rare gas in the atmosphere is
a.He
b.Ne
c.Ar
d.Xe

Answer:-Argon is the inert gas. It is the most abundant rare gas in the atmosphere because it occurs in the earth crust with 93%.
It is a not reactive element. So for this questions Ar is the correct.

2.Equal masses of oxygen, hydrogen and methane are kept under identical condition.The ratio of the volumes of gasses will be
A. 2 : 16 : 2
B. 2 : 16 : 1
C. 1 : 16 : 2
D. 1 : 1 : 1

Answer ;-C
Convert the mass into moles (use the formula n=m/Mr)
m = mass and Mr = Molecular weights
Molecular weights are 32(Oxygen), 2(Hydrogen), and 16(Methane), respectively.
Since the masses are equal, you can take the mass as x. So, the number of moles would be:
n(O2) = x/32
n(H2) = x/2
n(CH4) = x/16
The ratio of their volumes is (O2) : (H2) : (CH4) = 1 : 16 : 2
