Which of the following statements are wrongs?

A

`1.6 g` of a hydrocarbon on combustion in excess of oxygen produces 1.2 of `CO_(2)` and 0.4 of `H_(2) O`. The data illustrates the law of conservation of mass.

B

The product of atomic mass and specific heat of any element is a constant and is approximately 6.4. Thus is known as Dulong Petit's law.

C

The atomic masses of any elements is fractional because they are mixtures of allotropes.

D

The best standard of atomic mass is hydrogen - 1.008`

The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding which statements are wrong, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement 1**: "1.6 gram of hydrocarbon combustion in excess of oxygen produces 1.2 L of CO2 and 0.4 L of H2O." - **Analysis**: According to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of reactants must equal the mass of products. Here, we have: - Mass of hydrocarbon = 1.6 g - Mass of CO2 produced = 1.2 g (assuming the density of CO2 is 1 g/L) - Mass of H2O produced = 0.4 g (assuming the density of H2O is 1 g/L) - Total mass of products = 1.2 g + 0.4 g = 1.6 g - **Conclusion**: This statement is true. 2. **Statement 2**: "The product of atomic mass and specific heat of any element is a constant and approximately 6.4." - **Analysis**: This statement refers to Dulong-Petit law, which states that the product of the atomic mass of an element and its specific heat is approximately constant (around 6.4). - **Conclusion**: This statement is true. 3. **Statement 3**: "The atomic masses of any element are fractional because they are a mixture of allotropes." - **Analysis**: This statement is incorrect. Atomic masses are fractional because they are a mixture of isotopes, not allotropes. Allotropes are different forms of the same element in the same physical state. - **Conclusion**: This statement is false. 4. **Statement 4**: "The best standard of atomic mass is hydrogen." - **Analysis**: This statement is also incorrect. The standard for atomic mass is based on the carbon-12 isotope, specifically 1/12 of the mass of a carbon-12 atom, not hydrogen. - **Conclusion**: This statement is false. ### Final Conclusion: - The wrong statements are: - Statement 3: "The atomic masses of any element are fractional because they are a mixture of allotropes." (False) - Statement 4: "The best standard of atomic mass is hydrogen." (False)
