  2. Precision represents the agreement between two or more measured values.
  3. Precision is expressed in terms of absolute deviation and relative deviation.
  4. Precision does not take into account the true or accepted value.
  5. Several measurements are required to determine precision.
  6. High precision implies reproducibility of the readings.

Question D.
Explain the terms percentage composition, empirical formula and molecular formula.
Answer:

Percentage Composition:

  • The percentage composition of a compound is the percentage by weight of each element present in the compound.
  • Quantitative determination of the constituent elements by suitable methods provides the percent elemental composition of a compound.
  • If the percent total is not 100, the difference is considered as percent oxygen.
  • From the percentage composition, the ratio of the atoms of the constituent elements in the molecule is calculated.

Empirical Formula:
The simplest ratio of atoms of the constituent elements in a molecule is called the empirical formula of that compound.
e.g. The empirical formula of benzene is CH.

Molecular Formula:
1. Molecular formula of a compound is the formula which indicates the actual number of atoms of the constituent elements in a molecule.
e.g. The molecular formula of benzene is C6H6.
2. It can be obtained from the experimentally determined values of percent elemental composition and molar mass of that compound.
3. Molecular formula can be obtained from the empirical formula if the molar mass is known.
Molecular formula = r × Empirical formula

Question E.
What is a limiting reagent ? Explain.
Answer:

Limiting reagent:

  • The reactant which gets consumed and limits the amount of product formed is called the limiting reagent.
  • When a chemist carries out a reaction, the reactants are not usually present in exact stoichiometric amounts, that is, in the proportions indicated by the balanced equation.
  • This is because the goal of a reaction is to produce the maximum quantity of a useful compound from the starting materials. Frequently, a large excess of one reactant is supplied to ensure that the more expensive reactant is completely converted into the desired product.
  • The reactant which is present in lesser amount gets consumed after some time and subsequently, no further reaction takes place, whatever be the amount left of the other reactant present.

Hence, limiting reagent is the reactant that gets consumed entirely and limits the reaction.

Question F.
What do you mean by SI units ? What is the SI unit of mass ?
Answer:

i. In 1960, the general conference of weights and measures proposed revised metric system, called International system of Units i.e. SI units, abbreviated from its French name.
ii. The SI unit of mass is kilogram (kg).

Question G.
Explain the following terms

(a) Mole fraction
(b) Molarity
(c) Molality
Answer:
(a) Mole fraction: Mole fraction is the ratio of number of moles of a particular component of a solution to the total number of moles of the solution.

If a substance ‘A’ dissolves in substance ‘B’ and their number of moles are nA and nB, respectively, then the mole fraction of A and B are given as:

Maharashtra Board Solutions Class 11-Chemistry: Chapter 2- Introduction to Analytical Chemistry G
Maharashtra Board Solutions Class 11-Chemistry: Chapter 2- Introduction to Analytical Chemistry

Question J.
Why does molarity of a solution depend upon temperature ?
Answer:

  • Molarity is the number of moles of the solute present in 1 litre of the solution. Therefore, molarity depends on the volume of the solution.
  • Volume of the solution varies with the change in temperature.

Hence, molarity of a solution depends upon temperature.

Question M.
Define Analytical chemistry. Why is accurate measurement crucial in science?
Answer:

The branch of chemistry which deals with the study of separation, identification, qualitative and quantitative determination of the compositions of different substances, is called analytical chemistry.

1. The accuracy of measurement is of great concern in analytical chemistry. This is because faulty equipment, poor data processing, or human error can lead to inaccurate measurements. Also, there can be intrinsic errors in analytical measurement.
2. When measurements are not accurate, this provides incorrect data that can lead to wrong conclusions. For example, if a laboratory experiment requires a specific amount of a chemical, then measuring the wrong amount may result in an unsafe or unexpected outcome.
3. Hence, the numerical data obtained experimentally are treated mathematically to reach some quantitative conclusion.
4. Also, an analytical chemist has to know how to report the quantitative analytical data, indicating the extent of the accuracy of measurement, perform the mathematical operation, and properly express the quantitative error in the result.

Question S.
A 1.000 mL sample of acetone, a common solvent used as a paint remover, was placed in a small bottle whose mass was known to be 38.0015 g. The following values were obtained when the acetone – filled bottle was weighed : 38.7798 g, 38.7795 g and 38.7801 g. How would you characterise the precision and accuracy of these measurements if the actual mass of the acetone was 0.7791 g ?
Answer:

Precision:

MeasurementMass of acetone observed (g)
138.7798 – 38.0015 = 0.7783
238.7795 – 38.0015 = 0.7780
338.7801 – 38.0015 = 0.7786

Mean = 0.7783+0.7780+0.77863 = 0.7783 g

MeasurementMass of acetone observed (g)Absolute deviation (g) =
| Observed value – Mean |
10.77830
20.77800.0003
30.77860.0003

Mean absolute deviation = 0+0.0003+0.00033 = 0.0002
∴ Mean absolute deviation = ±0.0002 g

Maharashtra Board Solutions Class 11-Chemistry: Chapter 2- Introduction to Analytical Chemistry Q

ii. Accuracy:
Actual mass of acetone = 0.7791 g
Observed value (average) = 0.7783 g
a. Absolute error = Observed value – True value
= 0.7783 – 0.7791
= – 0.0008 g

Maharashtra Board Solutions Class 11-Chemistry: Chapter 2- Introduction to Analytical Chemistry Q

Ans: These observed values are close to each other and are also close to the actual mass. Therefore, the results are precise and as well accurate.

a. The metre stick is graduated in millimetres i.e. 1 mm to 1000 mm, and 1 mm = 0.1 cm. Therefore, if the length is measured in centimetres, the least count of metre stick is 0.1 cm. The results 12.6 cm has the least count of 0.1 cm and is an acceptable result.

b. Since, the least count of metre stick is 0.1 cm or 1mm, the results such as 12.65 cm, 12.655 cm, 126.55 mm cannot be measured using this stick, and hence, these results are rejected. The result, 12 cm doesn’t include the least count and is rejected.

Question U.
What weight of calcium oxide will be formed on heating 19.3 g of calcium carbonate?
(At. wt. : Ca = 40; C = 12; O = 16)
Answer:

Given: Mass of CaCO3 consumed in reaction = 19.3 g
To find: Mass of CaO formed
Calculation: Calcium carbonate decomposes according to the balanced equation,

Ans: Mass of CaO formed = 10.81 g

[Calculation using log table:
56 × 0.193
= Antilog10 [log10 (56) + log10 (0.193)]
= Antilog10 [1.7482 + 1¯¯¯.2856]
= Antilog10 [1.0338] = 10.81]

Question V.
The hourly energy requirements of an astronaut can be satisfied by the energy released when 34 grams of sucrose are “burnt” in his body. How many grams of oxygen would be needed to be carried in a space capsule to meet his requirement for one day?
Answer:

34 g of sucrose provides energy for an hour.
Hence, for a day, the mass of sucrose needed = 34 × 24 = 816g
The balanced equation is,
