The Hydrogen and Its Compounds – Numerical Applications section focuses on quantitative problem-solving involving hydrogen and its compounds, integrating stoichiometry, gas laws, redox concepts, and solution chemistry. This module is designed for Class 11–12 students, undergraduate learners, and competitive exam aspirants, where accuracy, unit discipline, and logical calculation steps are critical.
In this section, you will practice numericals based on:
Preparation of hydrogen – mole, mass, and volume relationships
Gas laws applied to hydrogen – STP/NCERT conditions, density calculations, and partial pressure
Stoichiometric calculations involving hydrides, water, and hydrogen peroxide
Redox-based numericals using oxidation numbers and equivalent weights
Concentration calculations for H₂O₂ solutions (volume strength, % purity, molarity)
Hardness of water – ppm calculations and softening efficiency
Electrolysis of water – quantitative relation between charge, gas volume, and time
Thermodynamic numericals involving enthalpy changes and reaction feasibility (introductory level)
Multi-step mixed numericals integrating two or more concepts
Exam-pattern numericals aligned with NEET, JEE, CUET-UG, and UG practical exams
The content is structured to build speed, numerical confidence, and conceptual accuracy, helping students minimize calculation errors in time-bound examinations.
Develop strong quantitative problem-solving skills in Hydrogen and Its Compounds to excel in numerical-heavy sections of Inorganic Chemistry.
Q. Calculate the molar mass of water (H2O).
A.
16 g/mol
B.
18 g/mol
C.
20 g/mol
D.
22 g/mol
Solution
The molar mass of water is calculated as follows: H (1 g/mol) x 2 + O (16 g/mol) = 18 g/mol.
