Question. Why does the atomic mass of an element not represent the actual mass of its atom?
Answer : Atomic mass of an element is the mass of its atom on the atomic scale, on the other hand, the actual mass of an atom is obtained by dividing the atomic mass by Avogadro’s number.
Question. 8.4 g of sodium bicarbonate on reaction with 20 g of acetic acid liberated 4.4 g of carbon dioxide gas into the atmosphere. What is the mass of the residue left?
Answer : Total mass of reactants = 8.4 g + 20 g = 28.4 g
Total mass of reactants = Total mass of products
28.4 = 4.4 + x (mass of residue left)
28.4 – 4.4 = x ⇒ x = 24 g

MgO Mg2+ + O2–
From the equation, we can see that 1 mol of MgO contains 1 mol of Mg2+ ions and 1 mol of O2– ions. 2.0 mol of MgO will contain 2.0 mol of Mg2+ ions and 2.0 mol of O2– ions.
Hence, 2.0 mol of MgO contains 4.0 mol of ions.Number of ions = 4 × 6.022 × 1023 = 2.4088 × 1024

Question. When 3.0 g of magnesium is burnt in 2.00 g of oxygen, 5.00 g of magnesium oxide is produced. What mass of magnesium oxide will be formed when 3.00 g magnesium is burnt in 5.00 g of oxygen? Which law of chemical combination will govern your answer? State the law.
Ans : When 3.0 g of magnesium is burnt in 2.00 g of oxygen, 5.00 g of magnesium oxide is produced. It means magnesium and oxygen are combined in the ratio of 3 : 2 to form magnesium oxide.
Thus, when 3.00 g of magnesium is burnt in 5.00 g of oxygen, 5.00 g of magnesium oxide will be formed and the remaining oxygen will be left unused. It is governed by law of definite proportions.
It states that in a chemical substance, the elements are always present in definite proportions by mass.
