Class 9 Science - Chapter Atoms and Molecules NCERT Solutions | Calculate the formula unit masses of ZnO

Welcome to the NCERT Solutions for Class 9th Science - Chapter Atoms and Molecules. This page offers a step-by-step solution to the specific question from Exercise 4, Question 2: calculate the formula unit masses of zno na2o k2....
Question 2

Calculate the formula unit masses of ZnO, Na2O, K2CO3, given atomic masses of Zn=65 u, Na=23 u, K=39 U, C=12 u and O=16 u.

Answer

Formula unit mass of ZnO

= 1 x Atomic mass of Zn + 1 x Atomic mass of ‘O’ atom 

= 1 x 65 + 1 x 16

= 65 + 16

= 81 u

 

Formula unit mass of Na2

 = 2 x Atomic mass of Na + 1 x Atomic mass of ‘O’ atom

= 2 x 23 + 1 x 16

= 46 + 16

= 62 u

 

Formula unit mass of K2CO3

= 2 x Atomic mass of K + 1 x Atomic mass of C + 3 x Atomic mass of ‘O’

= 2 x 39 + 1 x 12 + 3 x 16

= 78 + 12 + 48

= 138 u
