  1. Question 1 · NEET 2026 · Q61 · +4 / −1

    The number of hydrogen atoms present in 5.4 g of urea is: (Given: Molar mass of urea = 60 g mol−160\ \text{g mol}^{-1}; NA=6.022×1023 particles mol−1N_A = 6.022 \times 10^{23}\ \text{particles mol}^{-1})

    Answer and explanation

    Answer: (4)

    Moles of urea = 5.4/60 = 0.09 mol. Urea, NH2CONH2\mathrm{NH}_{2}\mathrm{CONH}_{2}, contains 4 hydrogen atoms per molecule. So number of H atoms = 0.09×4×6.022×1023≈2.168×10230.09 \times 4 \times 6.022 \times 10^{23} \approx 2.168 \times 10^{23}. The distractors arise from using the wrong number of H atoms per molecule or a wrong power of ten.

  2. Question 2 · NEET 2026 · Q84 · +4 / −1

    When 1 dm3^3 of CO2\mathrm{CO}_{2} gas is passed over hot coke, the volume of gaseous mixture after complete reaction at STP becomes 1.4 dm3^3. The composition of the gaseous mixture at STP is:

    Answer and explanation

    Answer: (2)

    The reaction CO2+C(s)→2CO\mathrm{CO}_{2} + \mathrm{C}(\text{s}) \rightarrow 2\mathrm{CO} converts x dm3^3 of CO2\mathrm{CO}_{2} into 2x dm3^3 of CO. Total final volume =(1−x)+2x=1+x=1.4=(1-x)+2x = 1+x = 1.4, so x = 0.4 dm3^3. Therefore CO2\mathrm{CO}_{2} remaining =1−0.4=0.6=1-0.4=0.6 dm3^3 and CO formed =2×0.4=0.8=2\times0.4=0.8 dm3^3, which is option (2).

  3. Question 3 · Re-NEET 2026 · Q51 · +4 / −1

    The numbers 17.0145 and 21.0235 were rounded to three figures after the decimal point. The resulting numbers, respectively, are

    Answer and explanation

    Answer: (3)

    Both numbers end in an exact 5 with nothing after it, which is the tie case, so the round-half-to-EVEN convention applies rather than always rounding up. In 17.0145 the digit to be retained is 4, already even, so it stays: 17.014. In 21.0235 the retained digit is 3, which is odd, so it is raised to the even value 4: 21.024.

  4. Question 4 · Re-NEET 2026 · Q63 · +4 / −1

    The amount of carbon dioxide evolved upon complete combustion of 116 g of n-butane is (Given: atomic mass in amu H = 1, C = 12 and O = 16)

    Answer and explanation

    Answer: (1)

    n-Butane is C4H10\mathrm{C}_{4}\mathrm{H}_{10} with molar mass 58 g/mol, so 116 g is exactly 2 mol. The balanced combustion C4H10+13/2O2→4CO2+5H2O\mathrm{C}_{4}\mathrm{H}_{10} + 13/2 \mathrm{O}_{2} \rightarrow 4\mathrm{CO}_{2} + 5\mathrm{H}_{2}\mathrm{O} yields 4 mol of CO2\mathrm{CO}_{2} per mole of butane, hence 8 mol here. Mass of CO2=8×44=352 g\mathrm{CO}_{2} = 8 \times 44 = 352\ \text{g}. NCERT Class 11, Some Basic Concepts of Chemistry (stoichiometry).

  5. Question 5 · NEET 2020 · Q117 · +4 / −1

    Which one of the followings has maximum number of atoms ?

    Answer and explanation

    Answer: (3)

    To find the number of atoms, use n=mM×NAn = \frac{m}{M} \times N_A, where m is mass, M is molar mass, and NAN_A is Avogadro's number. For 1 g of each: - Ag: 1108×NA\frac{1}{108} \times N_A - Mg: 124×NA\frac{1}{24} \times N_A - O2\mathrm{O}_{2}: 132×2×NA=116×NA\frac{1}{32} \times 2 \times N_A = \frac{1}{16} \times N_A (since O2\mathrm{O}_{2} has a molar mass of 32 g/mol and two atoms per molecule) - Li: 17×NA\frac{1}{7} \times N_A Li has the highest number of atoms.
