Some Basic Concepts of Chemistry question

2022 · 25 Jun · Shift 1 · Q18

JEE MainChemistrySome Basic Concepts of ChemistryNumerical+4 / −1
1 L aqueous solution of H2SO4H_2SO_4H2​SO4​ contains 0.02 m mol H2SO4H_2SO_4H2​SO4​. 50% of this solution is diluted with deionized water to give 1 L solution (A). In solution (A), 0.01 m mol of H2SO4H_2SO_4H2​SO4​ are added. Total m mols of H2SO4H_2SO_4H2​SO4​ in the final solution is ‾×\underline{\hspace{2cm}}\times​× 103 m mols.

Correct answer: THE CHEMICALLY CORRECT TOTAL IS $0.02$ MMOL., HENCE THE STORED ANSWER $0$ APPEARS INCONSISTENT UNLESS THE QUESTION STATEMENT HAS A TYPO OR THE INTEGER FORMAT IS BEING MISAPPLIED.

  1. Interpret the given amount

    The original solution is:

    1 L aqueous solution containing 0.02 m mol H2SO41\text{ L aqueous solution containing }0.02\,m\text{ mol }H_2SO_41 L aqueous solution containing 0.02m mol H2​SO4​

    Here, m molm\text{ mol}m mol means milli-moles.

    So initially, total acid present in 1 L is:

    0.02 mmol0.02\ \text{mmol}0.02 mmol

  2. Take 50% of this solution

    We take 50%50\%50% of the 1 L solution, i.e. 0.50.50.5 L.

    Since the solution is uniform, the amount of H2SO4H_2SO_4H2​SO4​ taken is also 50%50\%50% of 0.020.020.02 mmol:

    50100×0.02=0.01 mmol\frac{50}{100}\times 0.02 = 0.01\ \text{mmol}10050​×0.02=0.01 mmol

  3. Dilute this to 1 L to make solution (A)

    Dilution changes only concentration, not the number of moles.

    Therefore, solution (A) still contains:

    0.01 mmol of H2SO40.01\ \text{mmol of }H_2SO_40.01 mmol of H2​SO4​

  4. Add more sulfuric acid

    In solution (A), an additional:

    0.01 mmol of H2SO40.01\ \text{mmol of }H_2SO_40.01 mmol of H2​SO4​

    is added.

    Hence total amount in the final solution is:

    0.01+0.01=0.02 mmol0.01 + 0.01 = 0.02\ \text{mmol}0.01+0.01=0.02 mmol

  5. Express in the required form

    We need to write the total as:

    ‾×103 mmol\underline{\hspace{2cm}}\times 10^3\ \text{mmol}​×103 mmol

    Let the blank be xxx. Then:

    x×103=0.02x\times 10^3 = 0.02x×103=0.02

    So,

    x=0.02103=2×10−5x = \frac{0.02}{10^3} = 2\times 10^{-5}x=1030.02​=2×10−5

  6. Integer-type interpretation

    Since JEE integer-type answers are integers, the intended reading is that the final amount is simply:

    0.02 mmol=2×10−2 mmol0.02\ \text{mmol} = 2\times 10^{-2}\ \text{mmol}0.02 mmol=2×10−2 mmol

    If forced into the printed form "____×103\_\_\_\_ \times 10^3____×103 mmol", the coefficient is not an integer. This suggests either:

    • there is a typo in the question, or
    • the stored answer assumes rounding/truncation to integer, giving 000.
  7. Derived result

    Actual total amount of H2SO4H_2SO_4H2​SO4​ in the final solution is:

    0.02 mmol0.02\ \text{mmol}0.02 mmol

    and the coefficient in

    x×103 mmol\boxed{x\times 10^3\ \text{mmol}}x×103 mmol​

    is

    2×10−5\boxed{2\times 10^{-5}}2×10−5​

    For an integer answer format, this does not fit naturally.
