01 Chemical Arithmetic Quiz - Chemistry Quiz
Chemical Arithmetic
In this Chemistry quiz section, we are going to share Chemistry study materials as well as some most important multiple choice quiz from the following section i.e. Significant figures, Units for measurement, Matter, and Separation of mixture; Atomic, Molecular and Equivalent masses; The mole concept; Percentage composition & Molecular formula; Chemical stoichiometry and Critical Thinking Questions.Chemistry is basically an experimental science. In it we study physical and chemical properties of the substance and measure it up to possibility. The results of measurement can we reported in two steps,
(a) Arithmetic number, (b) Unit of measurement.
Every experimental measurement varies slightly from one another and involves some error or uncertainty depending upon the skill of the person making the measurements and measuring instrument. The closeness of the set of values obtained from identical measurement called precision and a related term refers to the closeness of a single measurement to its true value called accuracy.
Laws of chemical combination
Various chemical reactions take place according to certain laws, known as the Laws of chemical combination.
(1) Law of conservation of mass: It was proposed by Lavoisier and verified by Landolt. According to this law, Matter is neither created nor destroyed in the course of chemical reaction though it may change from one form to another. The total mass of materials after a chemical reaction is the same as the total mass before the reaction.
(2) Law of constant or definite proportion: It was proposed by Proust. According to this law, A pure chemical compound always contains the same elements combined together in the fixed ratio of their weights whatever its methods of preparation may be.
(3) Law of multiple proportions: It was proposed by Dalton and verified by Berzelius. According to this law, When two elements A and B combine to form more than one chemical compound then different weights of A, which combine with a fixed weight of B, are in the proportion of simple whole numbers.
(4) Law of equivalent proportion or law of reciprocal proportion: It was proposed by Ritcher. According to this law, The weights of the two or more elements which separately react with same weight of a third element are also the weights of these elements which react with each other or in simple multiple of them.
(5) Gay-Lussac’s law : It was proposed by Gay–Lussac and is applicable only for gases. According to this law, When gases combine, they do so in volumes, which bear a simple ratio to each other and also to the product formed provided all gases are measured under similar conditions. Gay-Lussac’s law was based on experimental observation.
