उत्तर

Importance of symbols and Formulae:
Symbols and formulae of substance gives a lot of information like. 
1. Types of elements present in the compound. E.g. (H20 is made of two elements hydrogen and oxygen).
2. Number of each kind of atoms in one molecule. E.g. (water has 2 atoms of hydrogen combined with 1 atom of oxygen.)
3. Mass of one molecule of the compound. E.g. [H2O has mass (1 × 2) + 16 = 18 g].

One of the forms of a naturally occurring solid compound P is usually used for making the floors of houses. On adding a few drops of dilute hydrochloric acid to P, brisk effervescence are produced. When 50 g of reactant P was heated strongly, than 22 g of a gas Q and 28 g of a solid R were produced as products. Gas Q is the same which produced brisk effervescence on adding dilute HCl to P. Gas Q is said to cause global warming whereas solid R is used for white-washing.

  1. What is (i) solid P (ii) gas Q, and (iii) solid R.
  2. What is the total mass of Q and R obtained from 50 g of P ?
  3. How does the total mass of Q and R formed compare with the mass of P taken ?
