Hello everyone! Okay, one quick question before we start. On one side, sixteen grams of oxygen gas. On the other side, just two grams of hydrogen gas. Which one has more molecules? Sixteen grams looks so much bigger, right? Hold on to your answer. Today is a special lesson. You have finished all nine chapters of this unit, and now it is time to test yourself with the unit problem bank. I will show you how to use it like a real JEE paper, and we will solve this exact question together. So, let's begin.

0:34How to use this chapter

So, first of all, when should you open this chapter? The rule is simple. Attempt these problems after Chapters one to nine, as a test, okay? Now why only after all nine chapters? Why not try a few of them while you are still studying, say, the mole concept? Yes, exactly! Because here, the problems mix ideas from the whole unit. In the exam, no question tells you which chapter it comes from. Spotting the idea is your job, and for that you need all nine chapters in your head. The chapter has three parts. Part A is at JEE Main level: sixteen solved problems on moles, formulae, stoichiometry, gases, solutions and titrations, all mixed together. Clear? Part B is at JEE Advanced level, with eleven problems. And look at what makes them advanced: not scary numbers, but several ideas in one problem. Mixtures, oleum, the volume strength of hydrogen peroxide: two or three chapters joined inside one question. And Part C checks your exact understanding of definitions and conventions, with nine problems: things like true or false, assertion and reason, and correcting a wrong statement. Small questions, but every word matters. Alright, now the trap. Many students see Part C and think, oh, this is only theory, no calculation, I will skip it, right? No, no, careful! One small word in a definition, and a true statement becomes false. For example, does one mole of any gas always occupy twenty two point four litres? Think about it, and check your answer in Part C, okay? So please, don't skip it. And at the very end, there is the unit test. You can time it: thirty minutes. So sit with a clock, exactly as if it is the real paper. Got it?

2:28Topper's trick: three minutes a problem

Now let me share a small trick that toppers use. Before you start the unit test, count the problems. There are ten problems, and thirty minutes on the clock. So how much time can you give each problem? Thirty divided by ten: three minutes, that's it. Read it, spot the idea, write the answer. Fully focused. Now, suppose one problem takes you eight minutes, but you get it right. You feel happy, right answer, so all good? No, no! Those extra five minutes were stolen from the other questions. So for every problem, check two things: was it right, and was it inside the time? So the rule is this. If you are still stuck at three minutes, mark that problem, move on, and come back to it at the end. Collect the easy marks first. With me?

3:17Example 1: which sample has the most molecules

So, remember our question from the start? It is the very first problem in Part A, okay? Which has the maximum number of molecules: option a, sixteen grams of O two; option b, sixteen grams of N O two; option c, seven grams of N two; or option d, two grams of H two? Pause the video, and try it first. Done? Okay, let's check. Many students go straight for sixteen grams. Biggest mass, so the most molecules, right? No, no, careful! That is the trap. Grams do not count molecules. Moles do. Every mole has the same Avogadro number of molecules, right? So more moles means more molecules. And the moles, small n, equal the mass, small m, divided by the molar mass, capital M, okay? Option a: sixteen over thirty two, zero point five mole. Option b: N O two has a molar mass of forty six, so sixteen over forty six, about zero point three four eight mole. Option c: seven over twenty eight, zero point two five mole. And option d: two over two, one full mole! So the answer is option d, two grams of hydrogen. See that? The lightest sample wins! Hydrogen molecules are so light that just two grams already make one whole mole. So, was your answer from the start correct? If you said sixteen grams of oxygen, no problem, now you know the trap. One line of moles for each option, well inside three minutes. Clear?

4:58Example 2: ethane and propane mixture combustion

Now a hard one from Part B, JEE Advanced level. Ten millilitres of a mixture of ethane and propane gives twenty five millilitres of carbon dioxide on complete combustion, at the same temperature and pressure. Find the composition, and the volume of oxygen used. Pause the video, and try it first. Done? Okay, let's check. First idea: same temperature and pressure. So by Avogadro's law, equal volumes hold equal numbers of molecules, and volumes behave just like moles. We can work directly in millilitres, okay? Second idea: two unknowns. Let ethane be small a millilitres, and propane be small b millilitres. Together they make ten, so a plus b equals ten. Now the carbon dioxide. How much does each millilitre of gas give? Yes, just count the carbons! Ethane, C two H six, has two carbons, so each millilitre gives two millilitres of C O two. Propane, C three H eight, has three carbons, so it gives three. So two a plus three b equals twenty five. Now solve. Subtract two times the first equation from the second. b comes out as five, so a is five too. Five millilitres of each, half and half! Alright, now the oxygen. Each C O two takes one O two, and we got twenty five millilitres of C O two. So the oxygen used is twenty five millilitres, right? No, no, careful! The hydrogen burns too, into water, and that water also needs oxygen. So count both, for each millilitre of gas. Ethane: two carbons need two volumes of oxygen, and six hydrogens make three waters, which need one and a half more. Total, three and a half. Propane: three carbons need three, and eight hydrogens make four waters, which need two more. Total, five. Now multiply. Three and a half times five is seventeen and a half. Five times five is twenty five. Total: forty two point five millilitres of oxygen. Just count the ideas: Avogadro's law, two equations in two unknowns, and combustion, all in one question. That is exactly what Part B means by several ideas in one problem. Got it?

7:23Quick revision: Parts A, B, C and the 30-minute unit test

So, quick revision. Attempt this chapter after Chapters one to nine, as a test: Part A at JEE Main level, Part B at JEE Advanced level, and Part C on concepts. Part B joins several ideas in one problem, and Part C checks exact definitions, so don't skip it. And the unit test: thirty minutes for ten problems, about three minutes each. Now open Part A, start your clock, and begin. You did the hard work in nine chapters, and this is where it pays off. All the best!
