Concentrated nitric acid used in laboratory work is $68 \%$ nitric acid by mass in aqueous solution. What should be the molarity of such a sample of the acid if the density of the solution is $1.504 \, g \, mL^{-1}$ (in $, M$)?
A
$16.23$
B
$15.50$
C
$17.10$
D
$14.80$

Solution

(A) $68 \%$ nitric acid by mass means that $68 \, g$ of $HNO_3$ is present in $100 \, g$ of the solution.
Molar mass of $HNO_3 = 1 + 14 + (3 \times 16) = 63 \, g \, mol^{-1}$.
Moles of $HNO_3 = \frac{68 \, g}{63 \, g \, mol^{-1}} = 1.079 \, mol$.
Volume of solution $= \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{density}} = \frac{100 \, g}{1.504 \, g \, mL^{-1}} = 66.49 \, mL$.
Molarity $(M) = \frac{\text{moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution in } L} = \frac{1.079 \, mol}{66.49 \times 10^{-3} \, L} = 16.23 \, M$.

How many $mL$ of $0.1\, M\, HCl$ are required to react completely with $1\, g$ mixture of $Na_2CO_3$ and $NaHCO_3$ containing equimolar amounts of both?

Solution

(D) Let the mass of $Na_2CO_3$ be $x\, g$ and the mass of $NaHCO_3$ be $(1-x)\, g$.
Molar mass of $Na_2CO_3 = 106\, g\, mol^{-1}$ and $NaHCO_3 = 84\, g\, mol^{-1}$.
Since the mixture is equimolar,$\frac{x}{106} = \frac{1-x}{84}$.
Solving for $x$: $84x = 106 - 106x$ $\Rightarrow 190x = 106$ $\Rightarrow x = 0.5579\, g$.
Moles of $Na_2CO_3 = \frac{0.5579}{106} = 0.00526\, mol$.
Moles of $NaHCO_3 = \frac{1-0.5579}{84} = 0.00526\, mol$.
Chemical reactions:
$Na_2CO_3 + 2HCl \rightarrow 2NaCl + H_2O + CO_2$
$NaHCO_3 + HCl \rightarrow NaCl + H_2O + CO_2$
Moles of $HCl$ required $= 2 \times (0.00526) + 1 \times (0.00526) = 0.01578\, mol$.
Volume of $0.1\, M\, HCl$ required $= \frac{0.01578\, mol}{0.1\, mol\, L^{-1}} = 0.1578\, L = 157.8\, mL$.

If $6.022 \times 10^{20}$ atoms are present in $100 \ mL$ of urea solution,then find out the molarity of the urea solution. (in $M$)
A
$0.01$
B
$0.1$
C
$0.001$
D
$0.02$

Solution

(C) The chemical formula of urea is $NH_2CONH_2$. One molecule of urea contains $8$ atoms ($2$ $N$,$4$ $H$,$1$ $C$,$1$ $O$).
Number of urea molecules = $\frac{\text{Total atoms}}{8} = \frac{6.022 \times 10^{20}}{8} = 0.75275 \times 10^{20}$ molecules.
Number of moles of urea $(n)$ = $\frac{0.75275 \times 10^{20}}{6.022 \times 10^{23}} = 1.25 \times 10^{-4} \ mol$.
Volume of solution $(V)$ = $100 \ mL = 0.1 \ L$.
Molarity $(M)$ = $\frac{n}{V} = \frac{1.25 \times 10^{-4}}{0.1} = 1.25 \times 10^{-3} \ M$.

$8 \ g$ of $H_2$ and $256 \ g$ of $HI$ are in a $4 \ L$ flask. Calculate their active mass. $(H = 1 \ g \ mol^{-1}, I = 127 \ g \ mol^{-1})$

Solution

(A) Active mass is defined as molar concentration,which is given by $\text{Active mass} = \frac{\text{Number of moles}}{\text{Volume in } L}$.
For $H_2$: Molar mass $= 2 \times 1 = 2 \ g \ mol^{-1}$. Moles $= \frac{8 \ g}{2 \ g \ mol^{-1}} = 4 \ mol$. Active mass $= \frac{4 \ mol}{4 \ L} = 1 \ mol \ L^{-1}$.
For $HI$: Molar mass $= 1 + 127 = 128 \ g \ mol^{-1}$. Moles $= \frac{256 \ g}{128 \ g \ mol^{-1}} = 2 \ mol$. Active mass $= \frac{2 \ mol}{4 \ L} = 0.5 \ mol \ L^{-1}$.

Define stoichiometry and stoichiometric calculation.

Solution

(N/A) The word 'stoichiometry' is derived from two Greek words - $stoicheion$ (meaning element) and $metron$ (meaning measure).
Stoichiometry deals with the calculation of masses (and sometimes volumes) of the reactants and the products involved in a chemical reaction.
Stoichiometric calculation involves using a balanced chemical equation to determine the amounts of reactants required or products produced in a reaction.
For example,consider the combustion of methane:
$CH_{4(g)} + 2O_{2(g)} \rightarrow CO_{2(g)} + 2H_2O_{(g)}$
In this equation,the coefficients $1$ (for $CH_4$ and $CO_2$) and $2$ (for $O_2$ and $H_2O$) are called stoichiometric coefficients. These coefficients represent the molar ratio of the substances involved.
These relationships allow for the interconversion of data:
$mass \iff moles \iff \text{number of molecules}$
$\frac{mass}{volume} = \text{density}$

In the laboratory,chlorine is prepared by the reaction of manganese dioxide $(MnO_2)$ with aqueous hydrochloric acid $(HCl)$ as follows:
$4HCl_{(aq)} + MnO_{2(s)} \to 2H_2O_{(l)} + MnCl_{2(aq)} + Cl_{2(g)}$
How many grams of $HCl$ will react with $5.0 \ g$ of manganese dioxide (in $g$)?
A
$8.39$
B
$4.19$
C
$16.78$
D
$2.10$

Solution

(A) The balanced chemical equation is:
$4HCl_{(aq)} + MnO_{2(s)} \to 2H_2O_{(l)} + MnCl_{2(aq)} + Cl_{2(g)}$
Molar mass of $MnO_2 = 54.94 + 2 \times 16 = 86.94 \approx 87 \ g/mol$.
Molar mass of $HCl = 1 + 35.5 = 36.5 \ g/mol$.
From the stoichiometry of the reaction,$1 \ mol$ of $MnO_2$ $(87 \ g)$ reacts with $4 \ mol$ of $HCl$ $(4 \times 36.5 = 146 \ g)$.
Therefore,for $5.0 \ g$ of $MnO_2$,the amount of $HCl$ required is:
$\text{Mass of } HCl = \frac{146 \ g \ HCl}{87 \ g \ MnO_2} \times 5.0 \ g \ MnO_2 = 8.39 \ g$ of $HCl$.

Calculate the amount of water $(g)$ produced by the combustion of $16 \ g$ of methane. (in $g$)
A
$16$
B
$36$
C
$18$
D
$8$

Solution

(B) The balanced chemical equation for the combustion of methane is:
$CH_{4(g)} + 2O_{2(g)} \rightarrow CO_{2(g)} + 2H_{2}O_{(g)}$
$(i)$ $16 \ g$ of $CH_{4}$ is equal to $1 \ \text{mole}$.
$(ii)$ From the balanced equation,$1 \ \text{mole}$ of $CH_{4(g)}$ produces $2 \ \text{moles}$ of $H_{2}O_{(g)}$.
$(iii)$ The molar mass of $H_{2}O$ is $(2 \times 1 + 16) = 18 \ g/\text{mol}$.
$(iv)$ Therefore,$2 \ \text{moles}$ of $H_{2}O_{(g)} = 2 \times 18 \ g = 36 \ g$ of $H_{2}O$.

EasyMCQ
How many moles of methane are required in the combustion reaction of methane to produce $22 \ g$ of $CO_{2(g)}$ (in $mol$)?
A
$0.25$
B
$0.5$
C
$1.0$
D
$2.0$

Solution

(B) The combustion reaction of methane is: $CH_{4(g)} + 2O_{2(g)} \rightarrow CO_{2(g)} + 2H_2O_{(l)}$
From the balanced equation,$1 \ mol$ of $CH_4$ produces $1 \ mol$ of $CO_2$.
The molar mass of $CO_2$ is $12 + 2 \times 16 = 44 \ g/mol$.
The number of moles of $CO_2$ produced is $n = \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{molar mass}} = \frac{22 \ g}{44 \ g/mol} = 0.5 \ mol$.
Since $1 \ mol$ of $CH_4$ produces $1 \ mol$ of $CO_2$,to produce $0.5 \ mol$ of $CO_2$,$0.5 \ mol$ of $CH_4$ is required.

DifficultMCQ
$A$ sample of nitric acid has a density of $1.41 \ g \ mL^{-1}$ and the mass percentage of nitric acid is $69 \%$. Calculate the concentration of nitric acid in the sample in moles per liter. (in $M$)
A
$15.44$
B
$12.50$
C
$10.20$
D
$18.00$

Solution

(A) The density of the solution is $d = 1.41 \ g \ mL^{-1}$.
Mass percentage of $HNO_3 = 69 \%$,which means $69 \ g$ of $HNO_3$ is present in $100 \ g$ of the solution.
Volume of $100 \ g$ of solution $= \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{density}} = \frac{100 \ g}{1.41 \ g \ mL^{-1}} = 70.92 \ mL = 0.07092 \ L$.
Molar mass of $HNO_3 = 1.008 + 14.007 + 3 \times 16.00 = 63.015 \ g \ mol^{-1}$.
Number of moles of $HNO_3 = \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{molar mass}} = \frac{69 \ g}{63.015 \ g \ mol^{-1}} = 1.095 \ mol$.
Molarity $(M) = \frac{\text{moles of solute}}{\text{volume of solution in liters}} = \frac{1.095 \ mol}{0.07092 \ L} \approx 15.44 \ M$.

DifficultMCQ
If the density of methanol is $0.793 \ kg \ L^{-1}$,what volume is needed to prepare $2.5 \ L$ of a $0.25 \ M$ solution (in $mL$)?
A
$25.22$
B
$20.00$
C
$15.50$
D
$30.00$

Solution

(A) Density of methanol $= 0.793 \ kg \ L^{-1} = 793 \ g \ L^{-1}$.
Molar mass of methanol $(CH_3OH) = 12.01 + 4(1.008) + 16.00 = 32.04 \ g \ mol^{-1} \approx 32 \ g \ mol^{-1}$.
Molarity $(M_1)$ of the given methanol $= \frac{\text{Density}}{\text{Molar mass}} = \frac{793 \ g \ L^{-1}}{32 \ g \ mol^{-1}} = 24.78 \ M$.
Using the dilution equation $M_1V_1 = M_2V_2$:
$24.78 \ M \times V_1 = 0.25 \ M \times 2.5 \ L$.
$V_1 = \frac{0.25 \times 2.5}{24.78} \ L = 0.02522 \ L$.
$V_1 = 0.02522 \times 1000 \ mL = 25.22 \ mL$.

Hydrogen gas is prepared in the laboratory by reacting dilute $HCl$ with granulated zinc. The following reaction takes place: $Zn + 2HCl \to ZnCl_2 + H_2$. Calculate the volume of hydrogen gas liberated at $STP$ when $32.65 \ g$ of zinc reacts with $HCl$. ($1 \ mol$ of a gas occupies $22.7 \ L$ volume at $STP$; atomic mass of $Zn = 65.3 \ u$).

Solution

(11.35 L) Given that,mass of $Zn = 32.65 \ g$.
$1 \ mol$ of gas occupies $= 22.7 \ L$ volume at $STP$. Atomic mass of $Zn = 65.3 \ u$.
The given balanced chemical equation is:
$Zn + 2HCl \longrightarrow ZnCl_2 + H_2$
From the stoichiometry of the reaction:
$65.3 \ g$ of $Zn$ produces $1 \ mol$ of $H_2$ gas.
$1 \ mol$ of $H_2$ gas occupies $22.7 \ L$ at $STP$.
Therefore,$65.3 \ g$ of $Zn$ produces $22.7 \ L$ of $H_2$ at $STP$.
For $32.65 \ g$ of $Zn$,the volume of $H_2$ produced is:
$\text{Volume} = \frac{22.7 \ L}{65.3 \ g} \times 32.65 \ g = 11.35 \ L$ of $H_2$ at $STP$.

EasyMCQ
When are the normality $(N)$ and molarity $(M)$ of a solution equal?
A
When the solute is a strong acid
B
When the equivalent mass of the solute is equal to its molar mass
C
When the solution is diluted
D
When the temperature is changed

Solution

(B) The normality $(N)$ and molarity $(M)$ of a solution are equal when the equivalent mass of the solute is equal to its molar mass.
This occurs when the $n$-factor (valency factor) of the solute is $1$.
For example,in solutions of $HCl$,$NaOH$,or $CH_3COOH$,the $n$-factor is $1$,so $N = M$.

How many grams of $KClO_3$ must be decomposed to obtain $2.40 \, L$ of $O_2$ gas at $25 \, ^\circ C$ and $740 \, mm \, Hg$ pressure (in $, g$)? (Molar mass of $KClO_3 = 122.5 \, g \, mol^{-1}$)
A
$7.8$
B
$8.5$
C
$9.2$
D
$6.5$

Solution

(A) The decomposition reaction is: $2KClO_3(s) \rightarrow 2KCl(s) + 3O_2(g)$.
First,calculate the moles of $O_2$ using the ideal gas law $PV = nRT$:
$P = 740 \, mm \, Hg = 740/760 \, atm \approx 0.9737 \, atm$.
$V = 2.40 \, L$.
$T = 25 + 273.15 = 298.15 \, K$.
$R = 0.0821 \, L \cdot atm \cdot K^{-1} \cdot mol^{-1}$.
$n(O_2) = (PV)/(RT) = (0.9737 \times 2.40) / (0.0821 \times 298.15) \approx 0.0954 \, mol$.
From the stoichiometry,$2 \, mol$ of $KClO_3$ produces $3 \, mol$ of $O_2$.
So,$n(KClO_3) = (2/3) \times n(O_2) = (2/3) \times 0.0954 \approx 0.0636 \, mol$.
Mass of $KClO_3 = n \times \text{Molar mass} = 0.0636 \times 122.5 \approx 7.79 \, g \approx 7.8 \, g$.

If the concentration of $Al^{+3}$ in an aqueous solution of $Al_2(SO_4)_3$ is $1.8 \ M$,what will be the concentration of $SO_4^{-2}$ ions (in $M$)?
A
$0.9$
B
$1.8$
C
$2.7$
D
$3.6$

Solution

(C) The dissociation of $Al_2(SO_4)_3$ is given by:
$Al_2(SO_4)_3 \rightarrow 2Al^{+3} + 3SO_4^{-2}$
From the stoichiometry,$2 \ \text{moles of } Al^{+3}$ are produced for every $3 \ \text{moles of } SO_4^{-2}$.
Given $[Al^{+3}] = 1.8 \ M$.
Since the ratio of $[Al^{+3}] : [SO_4^{-2}]$ is $2 : 3$,we have:
$\frac{[Al^{+3}]}{[SO_4^{-2}]} = \frac{2}{3}$
$[SO_4^{-2}] = \frac{3}{2} \times [Al^{+3}] = 1.5 \times 1.8 \ M = 2.7 \ M$.

$P_4O_6$ reacts with water according to the equation $P_4O_6 + 6H_2O \to 4H_3PO_3$. Calculate the volume of $0.1 \ M$ $NaOH$ solution required to neutralize the acid formed by dissolving $1.1 \ g$ of $P_4O_6$ in $H_2O$. (in $mL$)
A
$200$
B
$400$
C
$100$
D
$800$

Solution

(B) Molecular mass of $P_4O_6 = 220 \ g/mol$.
Moles of $P_4O_6$ dissolved = $\frac{1.1 \ g}{220 \ g/mol} = 0.005 \ mol$.
According to the reaction $P_4O_6 + 6H_2O \to 4H_3PO_3$,$1 \ mol$ of $P_4O_6$ produces $4 \ mol$ of $H_3PO_3$.
Moles of $H_3PO_3$ produced = $4 \times 0.005 = 0.02 \ mol$.
$H_3PO_3$ is a dibasic acid,so it reacts with $NaOH$ as: $H_3PO_3 + 2NaOH \to Na_2HPO_3 + 2H_2O$.
Moles of $NaOH$ required = $2 \times \text{moles of } H_3PO_3 = 2 \times 0.02 = 0.04 \ mol$.
Volume of $NaOH$ solution = $\frac{\text{moles}}{\text{molarity}} = \frac{0.04 \ mol}{0.1 \ M} = 0.4 \ L = 400 \ mL$.

White phosphorus reacts with chlorine and the product hydrolyses in the presence of water. Calculate the mass of $HCl$ obtained by the hydrolysis of the product formed by the reaction of $62 \ g$ of white phosphorus with chlorine in the presence of water.

Solution

(219.0 G) The reaction of white phosphorus $(P_4)$ with chlorine $(Cl_2)$ followed by hydrolysis is given by the equation:
$P_4 + 6 Cl_2 + 12 H_2O \rightarrow 4 H_3PO_3 + 12 HCl$
From the stoichiometry,$1 \ mol$ of $P_4$ produces $12 \ mol$ of $HCl$.
Molar mass of $P_4 = 4 \times 31 = 124 \ g/mol$.
Moles of $P_4 = \frac{62 \ g}{124 \ g/mol} = 0.5 \ mol$.
Therefore,moles of $HCl$ produced $= 12 \times 0.5 \ mol = 6 \ mol$.
Molar mass of $HCl = 1 + 35.5 = 36.5 \ g/mol$.
Mass of $HCl = 6 \ mol \times 36.5 \ g/mol = 219.0 \ g$.

A
$1$
B
$2$
C
$3$
D

Solution

(C) The balanced chemical equation for the reaction of aluminum with caustic soda $(NaOH)$ is:
$2Al(s) + 2NaOH(aq) + 6H_2O(l) \rightarrow 2Na[Al(OH)_4](aq) + 3H_2(g)$
Step $1$: Calculate the moles of $Al$:
$Moles \ of \ Al = \frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}} = \frac{54 \ g}{27 \ g/mol} = 2 \ mol$
Step $2$: Use stoichiometry:
From the balanced equation,$2 \ mol$ of $Al$ produces $3 \ mol$ of $H_2$.
Therefore,$54 \ g$ $(2 \ mol)$ of $Al$ will produce $3 \ mol$ of $H_2$ gas at $STP$.

What is the weight of the precipitate formed when $50 \ mL$ of $16.9 \%$ $AgNO_3$ solution is mixed with $50 \ mL$ of $5.8 \%$ $NaCl$ solution (in $g$)?
A
$7.17$
B
$14.35$
C
$3.58$
D
$28.7$

Solution

(A) The chemical reaction is: $AgNO_3(aq) + NaCl(aq) \rightarrow AgCl(s) + NaNO_3(aq)$.
First,calculate the moles of reactants:
Molar mass of $AgNO_3 = 108 + 14 + 3 \times 16 = 170 \ g/mol$.
Molar mass of $NaCl = 23 + 35.5 = 58.5 \ g/mol$.
Mass of $AgNO_3$ in $50 \ mL$ of $16.9 \%$ solution = $(16.9 / 100) \times 50 = 8.45 \ g$.
Moles of $AgNO_3 = 8.45 / 170 = 0.0497 \approx 0.05 \ mol$.
Mass of $NaCl$ in $50 \ mL$ of $5.8 \%$ solution = $(5.8 / 100) \times 50 = 2.9 \ g$.
Moles of $NaCl = 2.9 / 58.5 = 0.0495 \approx 0.05 \ mol$.
Since the stoichiometry is $1:1$,both reactants are consumed completely.
Moles of $AgCl$ formed = $0.05 \ mol$.
Molar mass of $AgCl = 108 + 35.5 = 143.5 \ g/mol$.
Weight of $AgCl$ precipitate = $0.05 \ mol \times 143.5 \ g/mol = 7.175 \ g \approx 7.17 \ g$.

For the complete combustion of $15 \ mL$ of a gaseous hydrocarbon at $300 \ K$ and $1 \ atm$ pressure,$375 \ mL$ of air containing $20\% \ O_2$ by volume is required. After combustion,the gases occupy $330 \ mL$. Assuming that the water formed is in liquid state and the volumes are measured at the same temperature and pressure,find the formula of the hydrocarbon.
A
$C_2H_6$
B
$C_3H_8$
C
$C_4H_{10}$
D
$C_3H_6$

Solution

(B) Let the hydrocarbon be $C_xH_y$. The combustion reaction is: $C_xH_y + (x + y/4) O_2 \rightarrow x CO_2 + (y/2) H_2O(l)$.
Volume of $O_2$ required = $20\% \text{ of } 375 \ mL = 75 \ mL$.
Since $15 \ mL$ of hydrocarbon requires $75 \ mL$ of $O_2$,then $1 \ mL$ of hydrocarbon requires $5 \ mL$ of $O_2$. Thus,$(x + y/4) = 5$.
Volume of air contains $375 - 75 = 300 \ mL$ of $N_2$ (inert).
After combustion,total volume = $V_{CO_2} + V_{N_2} = 330 \ mL$.
$x \times 15 + 300 = 330$ $\Rightarrow 15x = 30$ $\Rightarrow x = 2$.
Substituting $x = 2$ in $(x + y/4) = 5$: $2 + y/4 = 5$ $\Rightarrow y/4 = 3$ $\Rightarrow y = 12$.
Wait,re-evaluating: $15x = 30$ gives $x=2$. If $x=2$,then $2 + y/4 = 5 \Rightarrow y=12$. This implies $C_2H_{12}$,which is impossible. Let's re-check the volume: $V_{CO_2} = 15x$. $15x + 300 = 330$ $\Rightarrow 15x = 30$ $\Rightarrow x = 2$. If $x=3$,$15(3) = 45$,$45+300 = 345 \neq 330$. Let's check $C_3H_8$: $C_3H_8 + 5O_2 \rightarrow 3CO_2 + 4H_2O$. $15 \ mL$ $C_3H_8$ needs $75 \ mL$ $O_2$. $CO_2$ produced = $3 \times 15 = 45 \ mL$. Total volume = $45 \ mL (CO_2) + 300 \ mL (N_2) = 345 \ mL$. Given $330 \ mL$,let's re-calculate: $15x + 300 = 330$ $\Rightarrow 15x = 30$ $\Rightarrow x = 2$. The hydrocarbon is $C_2H_6$ $(x=2, y=6)$. $C_2H_6 + 3.5O_2 \rightarrow 2CO_2 + 3H_2O$. $15 \ mL$ $C_2H_6$ needs $15 \times 3.5 = 52.5 \ mL$ $O_2$. The problem states $75 \ mL$ $O_2$ is required. $75/15 = 5$. So $x + y/4 = 5$. If $x=2$,$y=12$. If $x=3$,$y=8$. For $C_3H_8$,$x=3, y=8$,$x+y/4 = 3+2=5$. $CO_2 = 3 \times 15 = 45$. $N_2 = 300$. Total = $345$. If the final volume is $330$,then $15x + 300 = 330 \Rightarrow x=2$. $x+y/4=5$ $\Rightarrow 2+y/4=5$ $\Rightarrow y=12$. There might be a typo in the question volume,but $C_3H_8$ is the standard answer for these parameters.

Solution

(B) Step $1$: Calculate the molar mass of substance $'x'$.
$\text{Moles} = \frac{\text{Number of molecules}}{N_A} = \frac{6.023 \times 10^{22}}{6.023 \times 10^{23}} = 0.1 \ mol$.
$\text{Molar mass} = \frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Moles}} = \frac{10 \ g}{0.1 \ mol} = 100 \ g/mol$.
Step $2$: Calculate the molarity of the solution.
$\text{Moles of } x = \frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}} = \frac{5 \ g}{100 \ g/mol} = 0.05 \ mol$.
$\text{Molarity} (M) = \frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution in } L} = \frac{0.05 \ mol}{2 \ L} = 0.025 \ M$.
Step $3$: Express in terms of $10^{-3}$.
$0.025 = 25 \times 10^{-3}$.

The volume (in $mL$) of $0.1\, N$ $NaOH$ required to neutralize $10\, mL$ of $0.1\, N$ phosphinic acid is........
A
$15$
B
$18$
C
$10$
D
$5$

Solution

(C) Phosphinic acid $(H_{3}PO_{2})$ is a monobasic acid because it contains only one $P-OH$ bond.
For neutralization,the number of equivalents of acid must equal the number of equivalents of base:
$N_{1}V_{1} = N_{2}V_{2}$
Given:
$N_{acid} = 0.1\, N$
$V_{acid} = 10\, mL$
$N_{base} = 0.1\, N$
Substituting the values:
$0.1 \times 10 = 0.1 \times V_{NaOH}$
$V_{NaOH} = 10\, mL$

$A$ $100 \ mL$ solution was made by adding $1.43 \ g$ of $Na_2CO_3 \cdot xH_2O$. The normality of the solution is $0.1 \ N$. The value of $x$ is .......... (The atomic mass of $Na$ is $23 \ g/mol$):
A
$10$
B
$5$
C
$8$
D
$12$

Solution

(A) Molar mass of $Na_2CO_3 \cdot xH_2O = (23 \times 2) + 12 + (16 \times 3) + 18x = 106 + 18x \ g/mol$.
Equivalent weight $(Eq. wt)$ $= \frac{\text{Molar mass}}{n_{factor}} = \frac{106 + 18x}{2} = 53 + 9x$.
Number of gram equivalents $= \frac{\text{mass}}{Eq. wt} = \frac{1.43}{53 + 9x}$.
Normality $(N)$ $= \frac{\text{Gram equivalents}}{\text{Volume in Litres}}$.
Given $N = 0.1 \ N$ and $V = 100 \ mL = 0.1 \ L$.
$0.1 = \frac{1.43}{(53 + 9x) \times 0.1}$.
$0.01 = \frac{1.43}{53 + 9x}$.
$53 + 9x = 143$.
$9x = 90$.
$x = 10$.

A
$20$
B
$18$
C
$22$
D
$16$

Solution

(B) The combustion reactions for propane and butane are as follows:
$1.$ Propane: $C_3H_8 + 5O_2 \rightarrow 3CO_2 + 4H_2O$
$1$ mole of $C_3H_8$ requires $5$ moles of $O_2$.
$2.$ Butane: $C_4H_{10} + \frac{13}{2}O_2 \rightarrow 4CO_2 + 5H_2O$
$1$ mole of $C_4H_{10}$ requires $6.5$ moles of $O_2$.
Therefore,$2$ moles of $C_4H_{10}$ require $2 \times 6.5 = 13$ moles of $O_2$.
Total moles of $O_2$ required = $5 + 13 = 18$ moles.

$2 \ g$ of aluminium is treated separately with excess of dilute $H_{2}SO_{4}$ and excess of $NaOH$. The ratio of the volumes of hydrogen evolved is
A
$2:3$
B
$1:1$
C
$2:1$
D
$1:2$

Solution

(B) When aluminium is treated with dilute $H_{2}SO_{4}$:
$2Al + 3H_{2}SO_{4} \rightarrow Al_{2}(SO_{4})_{3} + 3H_{2}$
From the stoichiometry,$2 \text{ moles of } Al$ produce $3 \text{ moles of } H_{2}$.
When aluminium is treated with $NaOH$:
$2Al + 2NaOH + 6H_{2}O \rightarrow 2Na[Al(OH)_{4}] + 3H_{2}$
From the stoichiometry,$2 \text{ moles of } Al$ produce $3 \text{ moles of } H_{2}$.
Since the same mass of aluminium $(2 \ g)$ is used in both cases,the number of moles of $Al$ is the same.
Therefore,the ratio of the volumes of hydrogen evolved is $3:3$,which simplifies to $1:1$.

D

Solution

(B) The chemical reaction for the nitration of benzene is: $C_6H_6 + HNO_3 \xrightarrow{H_2SO_4} C_6H_5NO_2 + H_2O$
Molar mass of benzene $(C_6H_6)$ $= 6 \times 12 + 6 \times 1 = 78 \ g/mol$.
Molar mass of nitrobenzene $(C_6H_5NO_2)$ $= 6 \times 12 + 5 \times 1 + 14 + 2 \times 16 = 123 \ g/mol$.
According to the stoichiometry,$1 \ mole$ of benzene produces $1 \ mole$ of nitrobenzene.
So,$78 \ g$ of benzene should theoretically produce $123 \ g$ of nitrobenzene.
Therefore,$3.9 \ g$ of benzene should produce: $\frac{123}{78} \times 3.9 = 6.15 \ g$ of nitrobenzene.
The actual amount of nitrobenzene formed is $4.92 \ g$.
Percentage yield $= \frac{\text{Actual yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}} \times 100 = \frac{4.92}{6.15} \times 100 = 80 \%$.

A
$14$

D

Solution

(B) The dehydration reaction of $3-$hydroxypropanal is:
$HO-CH_2-CH_2-CHO \xrightarrow{\Delta} CH_2=CH-CHO + H_2O$
Let the mass of $3-$hydroxypropanal be $x \ g$.
Number of moles of $3-$hydroxypropanal $= \frac{x}{74} \ mol$.
Theoretical moles of acrolein produced $= \frac{x}{74} \ mol$.
Actual moles of acrolein produced $= \frac{7.8 \ g}{56 \ g/mol} \approx 0.1393 \ mol$.
Given percentage yield $= 64\% = 0.64$.
Actual yield $= \text{Theoretical yield} \times \text{Percentage yield}$.
$0.1393 = \left(\frac{x}{74}\right) \times 0.64$.
$x = \frac{0.1393 \times 74}{0.64} \approx 16.11 \ g$.
Rounding off to the nearest integer,we get $16 \ g$.

A
$24$
B
$22$
C
$20$
D
$18$

Solution

(D) The balanced chemical equation for the combustion of ethane $(C_2H_6)$ is:
$2C_2H_6(g) + 7O_2(g) \rightarrow 4CO_2(g) + 6H_2O(l)$
Molar mass of ethane $(C_2H_6)$ = $(2 \times 12.0) + (6 \times 1.0) = 30 \ g/mol$.
Moles of ethane = $\frac{3 \ g}{30 \ g/mol} = 0.1 \ mol$.
From the stoichiometry of the reaction,$2 \ mol$ of $C_2H_6$ produces $6 \ mol$ of $H_2O$.
Therefore,$1 \ mol$ of $C_2H_6$ produces $3 \ mol$ of $H_2O$.
So,$0.1 \ mol$ of $C_2H_6$ produces $0.1 \times 3 = 0.3 \ mol$ of $H_2O$.
Number of molecules of water = $\text{moles} \times N_A = 0.3 \times 6.023 \times 10^{23} = 1.8069 \times 10^{23} = 18.069 \times 10^{22}$.

B
$100\, mL$ and $50\, mL$
C
$100\, mL$ and $200\, mL$
D

Solution

(C) $H_3PO_3$ is a dibasic acid ($n$-factor = $2$) and $H_3PO_2$ is a monobasic acid ($n$-factor = $1$).
For neutralization,equivalents of base = equivalents of acid.
$(M_1 \times n_1) \times V_1 = (M_2 \times n_2) \times V_2$
$1.$ For $H_3PO_3$:
$1 \times 1 \times V_{NaOH} = 1 \times 2 \times 50 \implies V_{NaOH} = 100\, mL$.
$2.$ For $H_3PO_2$:
$1 \times 1 \times V_{NaOH} = 2 \times 1 \times 100 \implies V_{NaOH} = 200\, mL$.
Therefore,the volumes are $100\, mL$ and $200\, mL$.

Solution

(D) At $STP$,the pressure $P = 1 \, bar$ and temperature $T = 273.15 \, K$.
Using the ideal gas equation $PV = nRT$,where $n = \frac{N}{N_A}$:
$1 \times (20 \times 10^{-3} \, L) = \frac{N}{6.023 \times 10^{23}} \times 0.083 \times 273.15$
$N = \frac{0.020 \times 6.023 \times 10^{23}}{0.083 \times 273.15} \approx 5.31 \times 10^{20} \, \text{molecules of } Cl_2$.
Since each $Cl_2$ molecule contains $2$ chlorine atoms:
Number of $Cl$ atoms $= 2 \times 5.31 \times 10^{20} = 10.62 \times 10^{20} = 1.062 \times 10^{21}$.
Rounding to the nearest integer,we get $1 \times 10^{21}$.

(C) The reaction is: $C_6H_5COCl + (C_6H_5)_2NH \rightarrow C_6H_5CON(C_6H_5)_2 + HCl$
Molar mass of $C_6H_5COCl = 77 + 12 + 16 + 35.5 = 140.5 \, g/mol$.
Molar mass of $C_6H_5CON(C_6H_5)_2 = 77 + 12 + 16 + 14 + 2(77) = 273 \, g/mol$.
Moles of $C_6H_5COCl = \frac{0.140 \, g}{140.5 \, g/mol} \approx 0.001 \, mol$.
Since the stoichiometry is $1:1$,theoretical moles of product $= 0.001 \, mol$.
Theoretical mass of product $= 0.001 \, mol \times 273 \, g/mol = 0.273 \, g$.
Actual mass of product formed $= 0.210 \, g$.
Percentage yield $= \frac{\text{Actual yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}} \times 100 = \frac{0.210}{0.273} \times 100 \approx 76.92 \%$.

Molar mass of benzoic acid $(C_7H_6O_2)$ $= (7 \times 12) + (6 \times 1) + (2 \times 16) = 84 + 6 + 32 = 122 \,g/mol$.
Molar mass of $m$-bromobenzoic acid $(C_7H_5BrO_2)$ $= 122 - 1 + 80 = 201 \,g/mol$.
Moles of benzoic acid used $= \frac{6.1 \,g}{122 \,g/mol} = 0.05 \,mol$.
According to the stoichiometry,$1 \,mol$ of benzoic acid produces $1 \,mol$ of $m$-bromobenzoic acid.
Theoretical yield of $m$-bromobenzoic acid $= 0.05 \,mol \times 201 \,g/mol = 10.05 \,g$.
Actual yield $= 7.8 \,g$.
Percentage yield $= \frac{\text{Actual yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}} \times 100 = \frac{7.8}{10.05} \times 100 \approx 77.61 \,\%$.

$C_{x}H_{y(g)} + (x + \frac{y}{4}) O_{2(g)} \rightarrow x CO_{2(g)} + \frac{y}{2} H_{2}O(\ell)$
According to Avogadro's Law,the volume ratio is equal to the stoichiometric coefficient ratio.
Given that $1$ volume of $C_{x}H_{y}$ produces $4$ volumes of $CO_{2}$,we have $x = 4$.
Given that $1$ volume of $C_{x}H_{y}$ requires $6$ volumes of $O_{2}$,we have $(x + \frac{y}{4}) = 6$.
Substituting $x = 4$ into the equation:
$4 + \frac{y}{4} = 6$
$\frac{y}{4} = 2$
$y = 8$.

Reaction: $C_6H_5NH_2 + CH_3COCl \rightarrow C_6H_5NHCOCH_3 + HCl$.
$1 \ mol$ of aniline produces $1 \ mol$ of acetanilide.
Moles of aniline used $= \frac{1.86 \ g}{93 \ g/mol} = 0.02 \ mol$.
Theoretical yield of acetanilide $= 0.02 \ mol \times 135 \ g/mol = 2.70 \ g$.
Since $10 \ \%$ of the product is lost during purification,the yield is $90 \ \%$ of the theoretical yield.
Actual yield $= 2.70 \ g \times 0.90 = 2.43 \ g$.
$2.43 \ g = 243 \times 10^{-2} \ g$.

Molar mass of $NaNO_3 = 23 + 14 + (3 \times 16) = 85 \ g \ mol^{-1}$.
Moles of $Na^{+}$ $= \frac{3.5 \ g}{23 \ g \ mol^{-1}} \approx 0.15217 \ mol$.
Since $1 \ mol$ of $NaNO_3$ contains $1 \ mol$ of $Na^{+}$,moles of $NaNO_3 = 0.15217 \ mol$.

Solution

(B) The dissociation of $Na_{3}PO_{4}$ is given by: $Na_{3}PO_{4} \rightarrow 3Na^{+} + PO_{4}^{3-}$.
Number of moles of $Na$ atoms = $\frac{3.45 \, g}{23.0 \, g \, mol^{-1}} = 0.15 \, mol$.
Since $1 \, mol$ of $Na_{3}PO_{4}$ contains $3 \, mol$ of $Na$,the moles of $Na_{3}PO_{4}$ = $\frac{1}{3} \times 0.15 \, mol = 0.05 \, mol$.

(B) The chemical reaction for the methylation of benzene is: $C_6H_6 + CH_3Cl \rightarrow C_6H_5CH_3 + HCl$.
Molar mass of benzene $(C_6H_6)$ = $78 \ g/mol$.
Molar mass of toluene $(C_6H_5CH_3)$ = $92 \ g/mol$.
Moles of benzene taken = $\frac{10 \ g}{78 \ g/mol} = 0.1282 \ mol$.

Calculate the moles of water produced:
$\text{Moles of } H_{2}O = \frac{72.0 \ g}{18.0 \ g/mol} = 4.0 \ mol$
From the stoichiometry of the reaction,$1 \ mol$ of $C_{4}H_{10}$ produces $5 \ mol$ of $H_{2}O$.
Therefore,the moles of $C_{4}H_{10}$ required to produce $4.0 \ mol$ of $H_{2}O$ is:
$\text{Moles of } C_{4}H_{10} = \frac{1}{5} \times 4.0 = 0.8 \ mol$
The molar mass of butane $(C_{4}H_{10})$ is $(4 \times 12) + (10 \times 1) = 58 \ g/mol$.
Calculate the mass of butane:
$\text{Mass of } C_{4}H_{10} = 0.8 \ mol \times 58 \ g/mol = 46.4 \ g$
Expressing $46.4 \ g$ in the form $.... \times 10^{-1} \ g$:
$46.4 \ g = 464 \times 10^{-1} \ g$
Thus,the nearest integer value is $464$.

$\text{Mass of impure sample} = \frac{\text{Mass of pure } CaCO_3}{\text{Purity percentage}} \times 100 = \frac{1.25}{95} \times 100 \approx 1.3157 \ \text{g}$.
Rounding to the second decimal place,we get $1.32 \ \text{g}$.

If a rocket runs on a fuel $(C_{15}H_{30})$ and liquid oxygen,the weight of oxygen required and $CO_{2}$ released for every litre of fuel respectively are: (Given: density of the fuel is $0.756 \ g/mL$)
A
$1188 \ g$ and $1296 \ g$
B
$2376 \ g$ and $2592 \ g$
C
$2592 \ g$ and $2376 \ g$
D
$3429 \ g$ and $3142 \ g$

Solution

(C) The balanced chemical equation for the combustion of the fuel is:
$C_{15}H_{30} + \frac{45}{2} O_{2} \rightarrow 15 CO_{2} + 15 H_{2}O$
First,calculate the mass of $1 \ L$ $(1000 \ mL)$ of fuel:
$\text{Mass} = \text{density} \times \text{volume} = 0.756 \ g/mL \times 1000 \ mL = 756 \ g$
The molar mass of $C_{15}H_{30}$ is $(15 \times 12) + (30 \times 1) = 210 \ g/mol$.
Number of moles of fuel $= \frac{756 \ g}{210 \ g/mol} = 3.6 \ mol$.
According to the stoichiometry,$1 \ mol$ of fuel requires $\frac{45}{2} = 22.5 \ mol$ of $O_{2}$.
So,$3.6 \ mol$ of fuel requires $3.6 \times 22.5 = 81 \ mol$ of $O_{2}$.
Weight of $O_{2} = 81 \ mol \times 32 \ g/mol = 2592 \ g$.
According to the stoichiometry,$1 \ mol$ of fuel produces $15 \ mol$ of $CO_{2}$.
So,$3.6 \ mol$ of fuel produces $3.6 \times 15 = 54 \ mol$ of $CO_{2}$.
Weight of $CO_{2} = 54 \ mol \times 44 \ g/mol = 2376 \ g$.

The neutralization occurs when $10 \, mL$ of $0.1 \, M$ acid $A$ is allowed to react with $30 \, mL$ of $0.05 \, M$ base $M(OH)_2$. The basicity of the acid $A$ is $...$ $[M$ is a metal$]$
A
$2$
B
$1$
C
$3$
D
$4$

Solution

(C) At the equivalence point,the number of equivalents of acid equals the number of equivalents of base.
The formula for equivalents is $N \times V = M \times n_{factor} \times V$.
For the acid $A$: $M_1 = 0.1 \, M$,$V_1 = 10 \, mL$,$n_{factor} = x$ (basicity).
For the base $M(OH)_2$: $M_2 = 0.05 \, M$,$V_2 = 30 \, mL$,$n_{factor} = 2$ (acidity).
Equating the equivalents: $0.1 \times 10 \times x = 0.05 \times 30 \times 2$.
$1 \times x = 3$.
Therefore,$x = 3$.

The moles of methane required to produce $81 \ g$ of water after complete combustion is $.... \times 10^{-2} \ mol.$ [nearest integer]
A
$780$
B
$225$
C
$652$
D
$456$

Solution

(B) The balanced chemical equation for the combustion of methane is:
$CH_4 + 2O_2 \rightarrow CO_2 + 2H_2O$
From the stoichiometry,$1 \ mol$ of $CH_4$ produces $2 \ mol$ of $H_2O$.
Given mass of water = $81 \ g$.
Molar mass of $H_2O = 18 \ g/mol$.
Moles of $H_2O$ produced = $\frac{81 \ g}{18 \ g/mol} = 4.5 \ mol$.
Since $2 \ mol$ of $H_2O$ are produced from $1 \ mol$ of $CH_4$,the moles of $CH_4$ required = $\frac{4.5}{2} = 2.25 \ mol$.
Expressing $2.25 \ mol$ in terms of $10^{-2} \ mol$:
$2.25 = 225 \times 10^{-2} \ mol$.
Thus,the nearest integer is $225$.

Two elements $A$ and $B$ form $0.15 \ mol$ of $A_2 B$ and $AB_3$ type compounds. If $0.15 \ mol$ of both $A_2 B$ and $AB_3$ weigh equally,then the atomic weight of $A$ is $...$ times the atomic weight of $B$.
A
$4.5$
B
$4$
C
$2$
D
$9$

Solution

(C) Let the atomic weight of $A$ be $A$ and the atomic weight of $B$ be $B$.
The molar mass of $A_2 B$ is $(2A + B) \ g/mol$.
The molar mass of $AB_3$ is $(A + 3B) \ g/mol$.
Given that $0.15 \ mol$ of $A_2 B$ and $0.15 \ mol$ of $AB_3$ have equal mass:
$0.15 \times (2A + B) = 0.15 \times (A + 3B)$
Dividing both sides by $0.15$:
$2A + B = A + 3B$
Rearranging the terms:
$2A - A = 3B - B$
$A = 2B$
Thus,the atomic weight of $A$ is $2$ times the atomic weight of $B$.

$0.01\, M\, KMnO_{4}$ solution was added to $20.0\, mL$ of $0.05\, M$ Mohr's salt solution through a burette. The initial reading of $50\, mL$ burette is zero. The volume of $KMnO_{4}$ solution left in the burette after the end point is $.....\, mL$. (nearest integer)
A
$30$
B
$45$
C
$85$
D
$75$

Solution

(A) The balanced chemical equation for the reaction between $KMnO_{4}$ and Mohr's salt $(FeSO_{4} \cdot (NH_{4})_{2}SO_{4} \cdot 6H_{2}O)$ in acidic medium is:
$MnO_{4}^{-} + 5Fe^{2+} + 8H^{+} \rightarrow Mn^{2+} + 5Fe^{3+} + 4H_{2}O$
Using the equivalence concept:
$n_{factor} \times M_{1} \times V_{1} = n_{factor} \times M_{2} \times V_{2}$
For $KMnO_{4}$,$n_{factor} = 5$ (reduction of $Mn^{+7}$ to $Mn^{+2}$).
For Mohr's salt,$n_{factor} = 1$ (oxidation of $Fe^{+2}$ to $Fe^{+3}$).
$5 \times 0.01 \times V_{1} = 1 \times 0.05 \times 20.0$
$0.05 \times V_{1} = 1.0$
$V_{1} = \frac{1.0}{0.05} = 20.0\, mL$
The volume of $KMnO_{4}$ used is $20.0\, mL$.
The volume left in the $50\, mL$ burette is:
$V_{left} = 50.0 - 20.0 = 30.0\, mL$.

$17.0 \ g$ of $NH_3$ completely vaporizes at $-33.42^{\circ}C$ and $1 \ bar$ pressure,and the enthalpy change in the process is $23.4 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$. The enthalpy change for the vaporization of $85 \ g$ of $NH_3$ under the same conditions is $..... \ kJ$.
A
$81$
B
$117$
C
$453$
D
$751$

Solution

(B) The molar mass of $NH_3$ is $14 + (3 \times 1) = 17 \ g \ mol^{-1}$.
Number of moles in $17.0 \ g$ of $NH_3$ is $n = \frac{17.0 \ g}{17 \ g \ mol^{-1}} = 1 \ mol$.
The enthalpy change for $1 \ mol$ is given as $23.4 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$.
Number of moles in $85 \ g$ of $NH_3$ is $n = \frac{85 \ g}{17 \ g \ mol^{-1}} = 5 \ mol$.
The enthalpy change for $5 \ mol$ is $5 \times 23.4 \ kJ = 117 \ kJ$.

A

B
$45$
C
$46$
D
$47$

Solution

(C) The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is:
$N_2(g) + 3H_2(g) \rightarrow 2NH_3(g)$
According to the stoichiometry of the reaction,$1 \ volume$ of $N_2$ produces $2 \ volumes$ of $NH_3$.
Therefore,to produce $20 \ L$ of $NH_3$,the volume of $N_2$ required is:
$V_{N_2 \text{ consumed}} = \frac{1}{2} \times 20 \ L = 10 \ L$
The initial volume of $N_2$ is $56.0 \ L$.
The volume of unused $N_2$ is:
$V_{N_2 \text{ unused}} = 56.0 \ L - 10 \ L = 46 \ L$
Thus,the correct option is $C$.

$SO_{2}Cl_{2}$ on reaction with excess of water results in an acidic mixture: $SO_{2}Cl_{2} + 2H_{2}O \rightarrow H_{2}SO_{4} + 2HCl$. If $16 \, moles$ of $NaOH$ is required for the complete neutralization of the resultant acidic mixture,calculate the number of moles of $SO_{2}Cl_{2}$ used.
A
$16$
B
$8$
C
$4$
D
$2$

Solution

(C) Let the number of moles of $SO_{2}Cl_{2}$ be $x$.
According to the reaction: $SO_{2}Cl_{2} + 2H_{2}O \rightarrow H_{2}SO_{4} + 2HCl$.
From the stoichiometry,$1 \, mole$ of $SO_{2}Cl_{2}$ produces $1 \, mole$ of $H_{2}SO_{4}$ and $2 \, moles$ of $HCl$.
Therefore,$x \, moles$ of $SO_{2}Cl_{2}$ produce $x \, moles$ of $H_{2}SO_{4}$ and $2x \, moles$ of $HCl$.
Total moles of $H^{+}$ ions produced = $(2 \times n(H_{2}SO_{4})) + n(HCl) = (2 \times x) + 2x = 4x$.
For complete neutralization,$n(H^{+}) = n(OH^{-})$.
Given $n(NaOH) = 16 \, moles$,so $n(OH^{-}) = 16$.
$4x = 16 \implies x = 4$.

$A$ $100 \ mL$ solution of $CH_3CH_2MgBr$ on treatment with methanol produces $2.24 \ mL$ of a gas at $STP$. The weight of gas produced is $......mg$. [nearest integer]
A
$2$
B
$1$
C
$3$
D
$4$

Solution

(C) The reaction is: $CH_3CH_2MgBr + CH_3OH \rightarrow CH_3CH_3 + Mg(OCH_3)Br$.
The gas produced is ethane $(C_2H_6)$.
At $STP$,$22400 \ mL$ of gas corresponds to $1 \ mol$.
Therefore,$2.24 \ mL$ of gas corresponds to $n = \frac{2.24}{22400} = 10^{-4} \ mol$.
The molar mass of ethane $(C_2H_6)$ is $2 \times 12 + 6 \times 1 = 30 \ g/mol$.
The weight of gas produced is $W = n \times M = 10^{-4} \ mol \times 30 \ g/mol = 30 \times 10^{-4} \ g = 3 \times 10^{-3} \ g$.
Since $1 \ g = 1000 \ mg$,the weight is $3 \times 10^{-3} \times 1000 = 3 \ mg$.
