Mass of solution = 100 g
Let the mass of sodium sulphate required to prepare 20% mass percent solution = x g
By formula
Mass of solute
Mass percentage = × 100
Mass of solute  Mass of water

8. How separation of cream from milk is done by Centrifugation? Explain.

Ans Pour full cream milk in the test tube with a pivot in your laboratory centrifuge.
Shut the lid of the centrifuge and switch on the current. When the centrifuge starts working, the tube
containing milk swings out in the horizontal position and whirls around its axis at a high speed.
The centrifugal force (in the outward direction) pushes the heavier particles outward, i.e., towards the
bottom of the mixture. Thus, the heavier particles of the proteins, carbohydrates, etc. are pushed towards
the bottom of the tube, but the lighter particles of the fat stay near the top of the tube and hence separate.

(Atomic masses : Hg = 200, O = 16, K = 39, Cr = 52, Al = 27, S = 32)
Sol. Calculation of the percentage of oxygen in HgO. HgO is mercuric oxide or mercury (II) oxide. It contains
only 1 atom of oxygen.
So, mass of oxygen in HgO = mass of O atom = 16
And, molecular mass of HgO = Mass of Hg + Mass of O = 200 + 16 = 216
Mass of oxygen in HgO
So, percentage of oxygen = × 100

16
(in HgO) = × 100 = 7.40
216
Thus, HgO contains 7.40% oxygen in it.
(b) Calculation of the percentage of oxygen in K2Cr2O7. K2Cr2O7 is potassium dichromate. It contains 7
atoms of oxygen.
So, mass of oxygen in K2Cr2O7 = mass of 7’ O atoms = 7 × 16 = 112
And, molecular mass of K2Cr2O7 = K × 2 + Cr × 2 + O × 7
= 39 × 2 + 52 × 2 +16 × 7 = 78 + 104 + 112 = 294
Mass of oxygen in K 2Cr2 O 7
Molecular mass of K 2Cr2 O 7

Thus, K2Cr2O7 contains 38.09% oxygen in it.
(c) Calculation of the percentage of oxygen in Al2(SO4)3. Al2(SO4)3 is aluminium sulphate. It contains 12
atoms of oxygen.
So, mass of oxygen in Al2(SO4)3 = Mass of 12 ‘O’ atoms = 12 × 16 = 192
and, molecular mass of Al2(SO4)3 = Al × 2 + S × 3 + O × 12
= 27 × 2 + 32 × 3 + 16 × 12 = 54 + 96 + 192 = 342
Mass of oxygen in Al 2 (SO 4 )3
Molecular mass of Al 2 (SO 4 )3

9. Which contains more molecules, 4g of methane (CH4) or 4g of oxygen (O2) ?

(Atomic masses : C = 12, H = 1, O = 16)
Sol. Mass of methane (CH4) = 4 g.
Gram molecular mass of CH4 = mass of C + mass of 4H
= 12 + 4 × 1 = 16 g.
Mass of CH 4 in g. 4
Now, Number of moles of CH4 = =
Gram molecular mass of CH4 16
1
= = 0.250 mole
4
(ii) Mass of oxygen (O2) = 4 g.
Gram molecular mass of O2 = 2 × 16 = 32 g.
Mass of O 2 in g.
Now, Number of moles of O2 =
Gram molecular mass of O 2
4 1
= = = 0.125 mole
32 8
We find that 4 g of CH4 contains more moles of molecules (0.250 moles) , where 4 g of O2 contains less
moles of molecules (0.125). Since 4 g of methane has more moles, it contains more molecules than 4 g of
oxygen.
10. If 1 g of sulphur dioxide contains x molecules , what will be the number of molecules in 1g of methane ?
(S = 32, O = 16, C = 12, H = 1)
Sol. The ratio of molecules in sulphur dioxide and methane will be the same as the ratio of their moles. So, first
of all we should find out the number of moles of sulphur dioxide in 1 g. of sulphur dioxide, and the number
of moles of methane in 1g. of methane. This can be done as follows -
(i) The molecular formula of sulphur dioxide is SO2.
So, 1 mole of SO2 = Mass of S + Mass of 2 ‘O’
= 32 + 16 × 2 = 64 g.
Now, 64g of sulphur dioxide = 1 mole
1
So, 1 g of sulphur dioxide = mole
64
1
Thus, we have mole of sulphur dioxide and it contains x molecules in it. Now, since equal moles of all
64
1
the substances contain equal number of molecules, therefore, mole of methane will also contain x
64
molecules of methane.
We will now calculate the number of moles in 1 g. of methane.
(ii) Molecular formula of methane is CH4.

So, 1 mole of CH4 = mass of C + Mass of 4H = 12 + 4 × 1 = 16 g.
Now, 16g of methane = 1 mole
1
So, 1 g of methane = mole
16
We known that :
PAGE # 41
1
mole of methane contains = x molecules
64
1 x  64
So, mole of methane will contain = molecules
16 16
= 4x molecules
Thus, if 1 g of sulphur dioxide contains x molecules, then 1 g of methane contains 4x molecules.
