Class 9 Science - Chapter Atoms and Molecules NCERT Solutions | What are polyatomic ions? Give examples.

Convert into mole.

(a) 12 g of oxygen gas
(b) 20 g of water
(c) 22 g of carbon dioxide.

In a reaction, 5.3 g of sodium carbonate reacted with 6 g of ethanoic acid. The products were 2.2 g of carbon dioxide, 0.9 g water and 8.2 g of sodium observations are in agreement with the law of conservation of mass.

sodium carbonate + ethanoic acid → sodium ethanoate + carbon dioxide + water

Write down the formulae of
(i) sodium oxide
(ii) aluminium chloride
(iii) sodium suphide
(iv) magnesium hydroxide

Which has more number of atoms, 100 grams of sodium or 100 grams of iron (given, atomic mass of Na = 23 u, Fe = 56 u)?

Hydrogen and oxygen combine in the ratio of 1:8 by mass to form water. What mass of oxygen gas would be required to react completely with 3 g of hydrogen gas?

How many atoms are present in a

(i) H₂S molecule and
(ii) PO₄^3- ion?

Calculate the molecular masses of H₂, O₂, Cl₂, CO₂, CH₄, C₂H₆, C₂H₄, NH₃, CH₃OH.

A 0.24 g sample of compound of oxygen and boron was found by analysis to contain 0.096 g of boron and 0.144 g of oxygen. Calculate the percentage composition of the compound by weight.

Calculate the number of aluminium ions present in 0.051 g of aluminium oxide.
(Hint: The mass of an ion is the same as that of an atom of the same element. Atomic mass of Al = 27 u)

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.

Which of the following has more inertia: (a) a rubber ball and a stone of the same size? (b) a bicycle and a train? (c) a five-rupees coin and a one-rupee coin?

State the universal law of gravitation.

Which of the following are matter?

Chair, air, love, smell, hate, almonds, thought, cold, cold-drink, smell of perfume.

A force of 7 N acts on an object. The displacement is, say 8 m, in the direction of the force (Fig. 11.3). Let us take it that the force acts on the object through the displacement. What is the work done in this case?

What is meant by a pure substance?

How does the sound produced by a vibrating object in a medium reach your ear?

What are canal rays?

State any two conditions essential for good health.

How is our atmosphere different from the atmospheres on Venus and Mars?

Who discovered cells, and how?

A 8000 kg engine pulls a train of 5 wagons, each of 2000 kg, along a horizontal track. If the engine exerts a force of 40000 N and the track offers a friction force of 5000 N, then calculate:

(a) the net accelerating force;
(b) the acceleration of the train; and
(c) the force of wagon 1 on wagon 2.

What is the audible range of the average human ear?

Does sound follow the same laws of reflection as light does? Explain.

Give two practical applications of reflection of sound waves.

An echo returned in 3 s. What is the distance of the reflecting surface from the source, given that the speed of sound is 342 m s^-1?

Fig 8.11 shows the distance-time graph of three objects A,B and C. Study the graph and answer the following questions:

          Fig. 8.11

(a) Which of the three is travelling the fastest?
(b) Are all three ever at the same point on the road?
(c) How far has C travelled when B passes A?
(d) How far has B travelled by the time it passes C?

Why are we normally advised to take bland and nourishing food when we are sick?

Give three examples of the range of variations that you see in life-forms around you.

Can there be displacement of an object in the absence of any force acting on it? Think. Discuss this question with your friends and teacher.

Look at the activities listed below. Reason out whether or not work is done in the light of your understanding of the term ‘work’.
  • Suma is swimming in a pond.
  •  A donkey is carrying a load on its back.
  •  A wind-mill is lifting water from a well.
  •  A green plant is carrying out photosynthesis.
  •  An engine is pulling a train.
  •  Food grains are getting dried in the sun.
  •  A sailboat is moving due to wind energy.
