Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
Mass concentration is the only quantity that is not a molar quantity; it's a measure of mass per unit volume.
Mass Concentration:This refers to the mass of a substance (solute) present in a given volume of solution (or mixture), often expressed in units like grams per liter (g/L) or milligrams per liter (mg/L).

Atomic Structure and Periodic Table
Solution
Calcium chloride is an ionic compound. Which of the following statements account for its ionic character?
I. Calcium has high ionization energy. II. Calcium has low ionization energy. III. Chlorine has high electron affinity. IV. Chlorine has high Ionization energy.
A
I and Il only
B
I, II and IV only
C
II, IIl and IV only
D
I, II, III and IV
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
- CaCl2 is an ionic compound owing to the large electronegative difference between the calcium atom and chlorine atom, which is greater than 2.0. In calcium chloride, the calcium atom donates its two electrons and become cation whereas each chlorine atom gain one electron, donated by Calcium, and get a negative charge.
- Ionization energies are always positive numbers, because energy must be supplied (an endothermic energy change) to separate electrons from atoms.
- Chlorine has a high ionization energy
- Chlorine has high electron affinity among the elements. Its high affinity can be attributed to its large atomic radius, or size. Because chlorine's outermost orbital is 3p, its electrons have a large amount of space to share with an incoming electron.

Stoichiometry & Mole Concept
Solution
All your burette readings (initial and final), as well as the size of your pipette, must be recorded but no account of the experimental procedure is required. All calculations must be done in your answer booklet.
A is a solution containing 5.00 g of HNO\(_3\) in 500 cm\(^3) of solution. B is a solution of NaOH of unknown concentration.
(a) Put A into the burette and titrate it with 20.0 cm\(^3\) or 25.0 cm\(^3\) portions of B using methyl orange as an indicator. Repeat the titration to obtain concordant titre values. Tabulate your results and calculate the average volume of acid used. Equation of the reaction is HNO\(_{3(aq)}\) + NaOH\(_{(aq)}\) \(\to\) NaNO\(_{3(aq)}\) + H\(_2\)O\(_{(l)}\)
(b) From your results and the information provided. calculate the: (i) concentration ot A In mol dm\(^{-3}\)
(ii) concentration of B in mol dm\(^{-3}\).
(iii) concentration of B in gdm\(^{-3}\)
(iv) mass of NaNO\(_3\) formed. If 250 cm\(^3\) of NaOH were neutralised. [Molar mass of NaOH = 40g mol\(^{-1}\), NaNO\(_3\) = 85 gmol\(^{-1}\). Credit will be given for strict adherence to the instructions. for observations precisely recorded and for accurate inferences.

= \(\frac{16.10 + 16.10cm^3}{2}\)
= \(\frac{32.20cm^3}{2}\)
= 16.10cm\(^3\)
(b)(i) Concentration of A in mol/dm\(^3\)
500cm\(^3\) of solution contains 5.00g of HNO\(_3\)
100cm\(^3\) of solution will contain
\(\frac{5.00}{500} \times \frac{100}{1}\) = 10.00 gdm\(^{-3}\)
Molar mass of HNO\(_3\) = (1 x 1) + (14 x 1) + (16 x 3)
= 1 + 14 + 48 = 63gmol\(^{-1}\)
Using the relation:
Concentration g/dm\(^3\)
= molar conc.moldm\(^{-3}\) x molar mass
10.00 = molar conc. moldm\(^{-3}\) x 63
Concentration of A = \(\frac{10.00}{63}\)
= 0.15873015873 moldm\(^{-3}\)
= 0.158 moldm\(^{-3}\)
(ii) Concentration of B in moldm\(^{-3}\)
Using the formula
\(\frac{C_AV_A}{C_BV_B} = \frac{N_A}{N_B}\)
\(\frac{0.159 \times 16.10}{C_B \times 25.0} = \frac{1}{1}\)
\(C_B = \frac{0.159 \times 16.10 \times 1}{25.0 \times 1}\)
= 0.0102396 moldm\(^{-3}\)
\(C_B\) = 0.102 moldm\(^{-3}\)
(iii) Concentration of B in gdm\(^{-3}\)
concentration g/dm\(^{-3}\) = molar concentration of moldm\(^{-3}\) x molar mass
Molar mass NaOH = 40g/mol
Concentration of B = 0.102 x 40
= 4.08g/dm\(^3\)
(iv) Mass of NaOH
No. of moles of NaOH = \(\frac{\text{molar conc.moldm}^{-3} \times volume}{1000}\)
= \(\frac{0.102 \times 250}{1000}\) = 0.0255 mole
from the equation
1 mole of NaOH = 0.055mole of NaNO\(_3\)
0.0255 mole of NaOH = 0.0255 mole of NaNO\(_3\)
molar mass of NaNO\(_3\) = 85 gmol\(^{-1}\)
mass of NaNO\(_3\) = 0.0255 x 85
= 2.1675g
