Question 11 Mark
Calculate the formula unit masses of ZnO, Na2O, K2CO3 , given atomic masses of Zn = 65u, Na = 23u, K = 39u, C = 12u, and O = 16u.
Answer
Formula unit mass of $ZnO =($ Atomic mass of $Zn )+($ Atomic mass of $O$ )
\[
=(65+16) u =81 u
\]
Formula unit mass of $Na _2 O =(2 \times 23)+16$
\[
=62 u
\]
Formula unit mass of $K _2 CO _3=(2 \times 39)+12+(3 \times 16)$
\[
=138 u
\]

Question 341 Mark
What is meant by the valency of an element?
Answer
In chemistry, the valence or valency of an element is a measure of its combining power with other atoms when it forms chemical compounds or molecules. The concept of valence was developed in the second half of the 19th century and helped successfully explain the molecular structure of inorganic and organic compounds.

Question 441 Mark
Calculate the number of molecules in 8g of O2.
Answer
Molar mass of oxygen = 32g.
So, 32g of oxygen = 1mole.
1g of oxygen = 1/32mole
8g of oxygen = 1/32 × 8
⇒ 1/4 moles
= 0.25 moles
no. of particles (molecules) = 0.25 × 6.02 × 1023
= 1.5 × 1023
= 1.5 × 1023
