Question

Given below are some nitrogen containing compounds:
Each of them is treated with HCl separately. 1.0 g of the most basic compound will consume ...... mg of HCl.
(Given Molar mass in g mol\(^{-1}\): C = 12, H = 1, O = 16, Cl = 35.5.)

Hint:

For basic compounds, the number of moles of HCl consumed is equal to the number of moles of the compound, based on the stoichiometric reaction.

Answer 1

Correct Answer: 1260

- The most basic compound reacts with HCl in a 1:1 molar ratio, indicating that the moles of the compound are equivalent to the moles of HCl consumed.
- The moles of the compound are calculated as follows:
\[ \text{Moles of compound} = \frac{\text{Mass of compound}}{\text{Molar mass of compound}} \] - For the most basic compound, it is assumed to have the highest molar mass. The quantity of HCl consumed is calculated in mg.

Therefore, 1260 mg of HCl was consumed.
