The correct Answer is:
To solve the question of selecting the correct statement, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step 1: Analyze the first statement **Statement A:** "2 moles of HCl contain more hydrogen than 1 mole of ammonia." - **Calculation for HCl:** - HCl has 1 hydrogen atom per molecule. - Therefore, 2 moles of HCl contain \(2 \times 1 = 2\) hydrogen atoms. - **Calculation for NH3:** - NH3 has 3 hydrogen atoms per molecule. - Therefore, 1 mole of NH3 contains \(1 \times 3 = 3\) hydrogen atoms. - **Conclusion:** - 2 moles of HCl contain 2 hydrogen atoms, while 1 mole of NH3 contains 3 hydrogen atoms. - Thus, this statement is **incorrect**. ### Step 2: Analyze the second statement **Statement B:** "0.1 mole of water contains the same number of molecules as 2.8 grams of nitrogen gas." - **Calculation for water:** - 1 mole of water (H2O) contains Avogadro's number of molecules (\(N_A\)). - Therefore, 0.1 mole of water contains \(0.1 \times N_A\) molecules. - **Calculation for nitrogen gas:** - Molar mass of nitrogen gas (N2) = 28 g/mol. - Moles of nitrogen gas in 2.8 grams = \(\frac{2.8 \text{ g}}{28 \text{ g/mol}} = 0.1 \text{ moles}\). - Therefore, 0.1 mole of nitrogen gas also contains \(0.1 \times N_A\) molecules. - **Conclusion:** - Both 0.1 mole of water and 2.8 grams of nitrogen gas contain the same number of molecules. - Thus, this statement is **correct**. ### Step 3: Analyze the third statement **Statement C:** "The ratio of number of moles in 4.4 grams of CO2 to 1.6 grams of SO2 is 1:4." - **Calculation for CO2:** - Molar mass of CO2 = 44 g/mol. - Moles of CO2 in 4.4 grams = \(\frac{4.4 \text{ g}}{44 \text{ g/mol}} = 0.1 \text{ moles}\). - **Calculation for SO2:** - Molar mass of SO2 = 64 g/mol. - Moles of SO2 in 1.6 grams = \(\frac{1.6 \text{ g}}{64 \text{ g/mol}} = 0.025 \text{ moles}\). - **Ratio Calculation:** - The ratio of moles of CO2 to SO2 = \(\frac{0.1}{0.025} = 4:1\). - **Conclusion:** - The statement claims the ratio is 1:4, which is incorrect. The correct ratio is 4:1. - Thus, this statement is **incorrect**. ### Step 4: Analyze the fourth statement **Statement D:** "1 mole of aluminum sulfate contains 4 moles of oxygen atoms." - **Formula for aluminum sulfate:** \(Al_2(SO_4)_3\) - **Atoms present:** - Aluminum (Al): 2 atoms - Sulfur (S): 3 atoms - Oxygen (O): \(3 \times 4 = 12\) atoms - **Moles of oxygen atoms:** - 1 mole of aluminum sulfate contains 12 moles of oxygen atoms. - **Conclusion:** - The statement claims it contains 4 moles of oxygen atoms, which is incorrect. - Thus, this statement is **incorrect**. ### Final Conclusion The only correct statement is **Statement B**: "0.1 mole of water contains the same number of molecules as 2.8 grams of nitrogen gas." ---
