SECTION -C

14) Read the passage and answer any four questions:

Atom can be described as in building houses the building blocks of all matter are atoms. A molecule is
in general a group of two or more atoms that are chemically bonded together, that is, tightly held
together by attractive forces. A molecule can be defined as the smallest particle of an element or a
compound that is capable of independent existence and shows all the properties of that substance.
Atoms of the same element or of different elements can join together to form a molecule. The number
of atoms constituting a molecule is known as its atomicity. Metals and some other elements, such as
carbon, do not have a simple structure but consist of a very large and indefinite number of atoms
bonded together.

Read the passage and answer any four question
The chemical reaction equation indicates directly the number of atoms or molecules taking part in the
reaction. Avogadro constant, NA, when expressed in the unit mol-1 and is called the Avogadro number.
The amount of substance, symbol n, of a system is a measure of the number of specified elementary
entities. An elementary entity may be an atom, a molecule, an ion, an electron, any other particle or a
specified group of particles. The mass of 1 mole of a substance is equal to its relative atomic or
molecular mass in grams. The atomic mass of an element gives us the mass of one atom of that element
in atomic mass units (u).

i)The word “mole” was introduced around 1896 by

a)Wilhelm Ostwald
b)John Dalton
c)Ernest Rutherford
d)J.J Thompson
ii)What is the number of moles of 52 g of He
a)16
b)13
c)15
d)19
iii)Mass of 0.5 mole of N2 gas
a)16g
b)17g
c)14g
d)15g
 iv)1 g hydrogen has
a)6.022 × 1024 atoms of hydrogen
b)6.022 × 1023 atoms of hydrogen
c)6.022 × 1026 atoms of hydrogen
d)7.022 × 1024 atoms of hydrogen
v)The number of moles in 12.044 × 1023 number of He atoms is
a) 6
b)5
c)2
d)5
15) Potential energy is stored energy that depends upon the relative position of various parts of a system.
Spring has more potential energy when it is compressed or stretched. A steel ball has more potential
energy raised above the ground than it has after falling to Earth.

If a body falls from a height bounces from the ground and again goes upwards with loss of a part of its
energy.
i)How will its potential energy change?
ii)What are various energy conversions taking place?
iii)What will be its ultimate energy?

(OR) 4

Work is closely related to energy. The work-energy principle states that an increase in the kinetic
energy of a rigid body is caused by an equal amount of positive work done on the body by the resultant
force acting on that body.
i. Define potential energy.
ii. Give an example where potential energy is acquired by a body due to change in its shape.

iii. A skier of mass 50 kg stands at A, at the top of a ski jump. He takes off from A for his
jump to B. Calculate the change in his gravitational potential energy between A and B.
