Some Basic Concepts of Chemistry question

2020 · 7 Jan · Shift 1 · Q11

JEE MainChemistrySome Basic Concepts of ChemistryMCQ+4 / −1
Amongst the following statements, that which was not proposed by Dalton was :
  1. A
    Matter consists of indivisible atoms all the atoms of a given element have.
  2. B
    Chemical reactions involve reorganization of atoms. These are neither created not destroyed in a chemical reaction.
  3. C
    When gases combine or reproduced in a chemical reactionn they do so in a simple ratio by volume provided all gases are the same T & P.
  4. D
    Identical properties including identical mass. Atoms of differemt element differ in mass.

Correct answer: C

  1. Recall Dalton’s atomic theory

    Dalton proposed that:

    • Matter is made of indivisible atoms.
    • Atoms of the same element are identical in mass and properties.
    • Atoms of different elements differ in mass and properties.
    • Chemical reactions involve only the rearrangement of atoms.
    • Atoms are neither created nor destroyed in chemical reactions.
    • Compounds are formed when atoms combine in simple whole-number ratios.
  2. Check each option

    Option A: "Matter consists of indivisible atoms..."

    • This is a direct part of Dalton’s theory.
    • So, A was proposed by Dalton.

    Option B: "Chemical reactions involve reorganization of atoms. These are neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction."

    • This is also a direct part of Dalton’s theory.
    • So, B was proposed by Dalton.

    Option C: "When gases combine or are produced in a chemical reaction they do so in a simple ratio by volume provided all gases are at the same TTT and PPP."

    • This is Gay-Lussac’s law of combining volumes, not Dalton’s atomic theory.
    • So, C was not proposed by Dalton.

    Option D: "Atoms of a given element have identical properties including identical mass. Atoms of different elements differ in mass."

    • This is again a statement from Dalton’s atomic theory.
    • So, D was proposed by Dalton.
  3. Conclusion

    The statement not proposed by Dalton is: C\boxed{\text{C}}C​

  4. Comparison with stored correct answer

    Stored correct answer = C.

    My derived answer also = C. Hence, they agree.
