NDA General Ability Question (2025) — Solution

Question

Which one of the following statements is NOT correct?

Options

  1. A. Half mole of nitrogen gas is measured 11.2 litre at STP
  2. B. 17 gram of ammonia gas contains 6.022 10^ 23 molecules at STP
  3. C. 22.4 litre of CO_2 gas at STP contains 44 gram of molecules
  4. D. 4 gram of hydrogen gas contains 6.022 10^ 23 molecules

Answer

D. 4 gram of hydrogen gas contains 6.022 10^ 23 molecules

Step-by-step solution

At STP, 1 mole of any ideal gas occupies 22.4 litres. Half mole of nitrogen gas occupies 1 2 22.4 = 11.2 litres. This statement is correct. Molar mass of ammonia (NH_3) is 17 g/mol. 17 g of ammonia corresponds to 1 mole, which contains 6.022 10^ 23 molecules. This statement is correct. 22.4 litres of CO_2 gas at STP corresponds to 1 mole. The molar mass of CO_2 is 44 g/mol, so it weighs 44 grams. This statement is correct. Molar mass of hydrogen gas (H_2) is 2 g/mol. 4 grams of hydrogen gas corresponds to 4 2 = 2 moles. The number of molecules in 2 moles is 2 6.022 10^ 23 = 1.2044 10^ 24 molecules. This statement is incorrect. Answer: 4 gram of hydrogen gas contains 6.022 10^ 23 molecules
