In the reaction shown,$5 \ g$ of toluene is converted into benzaldehyde with $92 \%$ yield. The amount of benzaldehyde produced is $.... \times 10^{-2} \ g$. (Nearest integer)
Question diagram
A
$520$
B
$540$
C
$580$
D
$530$

Solution

(D) The molar mass of toluene $(C_7H_8)$ is $7 \times 12 + 8 \times 1 = 92 \ g/mol$.
Number of moles of toluene = $\frac{5 \ g}{92 \ g/mol} = \frac{5}{92} \ mol$.
Since the reaction stoichiometry is $1:1$,the theoretical moles of benzaldehyde produced would be $\frac{5}{92} \ mol$.
Given the yield is $92 \%$,the actual moles of benzaldehyde produced = $\frac{5}{92} \times \frac{92}{100} = 5 \times 10^{-2} \ mol$.
The molar mass of benzaldehyde $(C_7H_6O)$ is $7 \times 12 + 6 \times 1 + 16 = 106 \ g/mol$.
Mass of benzaldehyde produced = $\text{moles} \times \text{molar mass} = (5 \times 10^{-2} \ mol) \times (106 \ g/mol) = 530 \times 10^{-2} \ g$.
Thus,the value is $530$.

Solution

(D) Let the initial moles of benzene be $n$.
For reaction $I$,the yield is $60 \%$,so the moles of benzene sulphonic acid obtained $= 0.6 \times n = 0.6n$.
For reaction $II$,the yield is $50 \%$,so the moles of phenol obtained $= 0.5 \times (0.6n) = 0.3n$.
The overall yield of the complete reaction is calculated as: $\text{Overall yield} = \frac{\text{Final moles of product}}{\text{Initial moles of reactant}} \times 100$.
$\text{Overall yield} = \frac{0.3n}{n} \times 100 = 30 \%$.

$4$. Moles of $Br_2$ used $= \frac{1 \; g}{160 \; g/mol} = 0.00625 \; mol$.
$5$. Theoretical moles of $1,1,2,2-$tetrabromopropane $= \frac{0.00625}{2} = 0.003125 \; mol$.
$6$. Theoretical mass of $1,1,2,2-$tetrabromopropane $= 0.003125 \; mol \times 360 \; g/mol = 1.125 \; g$.
$7$. Actual yield $(27\%)$ $= 1.125 \; g \times 0.27 = 0.30375 \; g$.

DifficultMCQ
Consider the reaction
$4 HNO_{3(\ell)} + 3 KCl_{(s)} \rightarrow Cl_{2(g)} + NOCl_{(g)} + 2 H_{2}O_{(g)} + 3 KNO_{3(s)}$
The amount of $HNO_{3}$ required to produce $110.0 \ g$ of $KNO_{3}$ is $...... \ g$.
(Given: Atomic masses of $H, O, N$ and $K$ are $1, 16, 14$ and $39$ respectively.)
A
$32.2$
B
$69.4$
C
$91.5$
D
$162.5$

Solution

(C) The balanced chemical equation is:
$4 HNO_{3} + 3 KCl \rightarrow Cl_{2} + NOCl + 2 H_{2}O + 3 KNO_{3}$
Calculate the molar masses:
$M(HNO_{3}) = 1 + 14 + (3 \times 16) = 63 \ g/mol$
$M(KNO_{3}) = 39 + 14 + (3 \times 16) = 101 \ g/mol$
From the stoichiometry,$3 \ moles$ of $KNO_{3}$ are produced by $4 \ moles$ of $HNO_{3}$.
Number of moles of $KNO_{3}$ produced = $\frac{110.0 \ g}{101 \ g/mol} \approx 1.089 \ mol$.
Moles of $HNO_{3}$ required = $\frac{4}{3} \times (\text{moles of } KNO_{3}) = \frac{4}{3} \times \frac{110}{101} \approx 1.452 \ mol$.
Mass of $HNO_{3}$ required = $1.452 \ mol \times 63 \ g/mol = 91.5 \ g$.

MediumMCQ
$A$ $1.84 \, mg$ sample of polyhydric alcoholic compound '$X$' of molar mass $92.0 \, g/mol$ gave $1.344 \, mL$ of $H_2$ gas at $STP$. The number of alcoholic hydrogens present in compound '$X$' is $.....$
A
$6$
B
$5$
C
$4$
D
$3$

Solution

(A) The reaction of a polyhydric alcohol with sodium or similar reagents releases $H_2$ gas based on the number of hydroxyl groups $(x)$:
$R(OH)_x + xNa \rightarrow R(ONa)_x + \frac{x}{2} H_2$
Using the Principle of Atom Conservation $(PoAC)$ for hydrogen atoms in the $OH$ groups:
$x \times \text{moles of } X = 2 \times \text{moles of } H_2$
Given:
Mass of $X = 1.84 \, mg = 1.84 \times 10^{-3} \, g$
Molar mass of $X = 92.0 \, g/mol$
Volume of $H_2$ at $STP = 1.344 \, mL = 1.344 \times 10^{-3} \, L$
Moles of $X = \frac{1.84 \times 10^{-3}}{92} = 2 \times 10^{-5} \, mol$
Moles of $H_2 = \frac{1.344 \times 10^{-3}}{22.4} = 6 \times 10^{-5} \, mol$
Substituting into the equation:
$x \times (2 \times 10^{-5}) = 2 \times (6 \times 10^{-5})$
$x = \frac{12 \times 10^{-5}}{2 \times 10^{-5}} = 6$
Thus,the number of alcoholic hydrogens is $6$.

AdvancedMCQ
The amount of $Na_2S_2O_3 \cdot 5H_2O$ required to completely reduce $100 \, mL$ of $0.25 \, N$ iodine solution is $.... \, g$.
A
$6.20$
B
$9.30$
C
$3.10$
D
$7.75$

Solution

(A) The reaction between iodine and sodium thiosulfate is: $I_2 + 2Na_2S_2O_3 \rightarrow Na_2S_4O_6 + 2NaI$.
At the equivalence point,the number of equivalents of $Na_2S_2O_3 \cdot 5H_2O$ must equal the number of equivalents of $I_2$.
Number of equivalents of $I_2 = \text{Normality} \times \text{Volume (in L)} = 0.25 \, N \times 0.1 \, L = 0.025 \, \text{eq}$.
Since the $n$-factor for $Na_2S_2O_3$ in this reaction is $1$ (as $S_2O_3^{2-} \rightarrow S_4O_6^{2-} + 2e^-$ per mole,but $2$ moles of thiosulfate are involved per $I_2$,the equivalent weight equals the molar mass),the number of moles of $Na_2S_2O_3 \cdot 5H_2O$ is equal to the number of equivalents.
Molar mass of $Na_2S_2O_3 \cdot 5H_2O = 23 \times 2 + 32 \times 2 + 16 \times 3 + 5 \times 18 = 248 \, g/mol$.
Mass required $= \text{Equivalents} \times \text{Equivalent weight} = 0.025 \times 248 = 6.20 \, g$.

MediumMCQ
$A$ cylinder of cooking gas in a household contains $11.6 \, kg$ of butane. The thermochemical reaction for the combustion of butane is,
$2 C_4H_{10(g)} + 13 O_{2(g)} \longrightarrow 8 CO_{2(g)} + 10 H_2O_{(l)}$
$\Delta H = -2658 \, kJ/mol$
If the household needs $15000 \, kJ$ of energy per day,the cooking gas cylinder will last for about $...... \, days$.
A
$64$
B
$45$
C
$20$
D
$35$

Solution

(D) The molar mass of butane $(C_4H_{10})$ is $12 \times 4 + 1 \times 10 = 58 \, g/mol$.
The combustion of $2 \, mol$ of butane releases $2658 \, kJ$ of energy,so $1 \, mol$ of butane releases $\frac{2658}{2} = 1329 \, kJ$ of energy.
The total mass of butane in the cylinder is $11.6 \, kg = 11600 \, g$.
The number of moles of butane is $n = \frac{11600 \, g}{58 \, g/mol} = 200 \, mol$.
The total energy available is $200 \, mol \times 1329 \, kJ/mol = 265800 \, kJ$.
Given the daily energy requirement is $15000 \, kJ$,the number of days the cylinder will last is $\frac{265800 \, kJ}{15000 \, kJ/day} = 17.72 \, days$.
Note: Based on the provided options and standard calculation methods,the correct answer is $D$ $(35 \, days)$ if the stoichiometry is interpreted as $2658 \, kJ$ per $2 \, moles$. Recalculating: Total energy $= (11600/58) \times (2658/2) = 265800 \, kJ$. Days $= 265800 / 15000 = 17.72$. If the reaction is per mole,energy $= (11600/58) \times 2658 = 531600 \, kJ$. Days $= 531600 / 15000 = 35.44 \approx 35$.

$A$ solution of $20.2 \, g$ of $1,2$-dibromopropane in $MeOH$ upon heating with excess $Zn$ produces $3.58 \, g$ of an unsaturated compound $X$. The yield $(\%)$ of $X$ is closest to [Atomic weight of $Br$ is $80$].
A
$18$
B
$85$
C
$89$
D
$30$

Solution

(B) The reaction is: $CH_3CH(Br)CH_2Br + Zn \rightarrow CH_3CH=CH_2 + ZnBr_2$.
Molar mass of $1,2$-dibromopropane $(C_3H_6Br_2)$ $= 3 \times 12 + 6 \times 1 + 2 \times 80 = 36 + 6 + 160 = 202 \, g/mol$.
Moles of $1,2$-dibromopropane $= \frac{20.2 \, g}{202 \, g/mol} = 0.1 \, mol$.
Molar mass of prop$-1$-ene $(C_3H_6)$ $= 3 \times 12 + 6 \times 1 = 42 \, g/mol$.
Theoretical yield of $X = 0.1 \, mol \times 42 \, g/mol = 4.2 \, g$.
Actual yield of $X = 3.58 \, g$.
Yield $(\%) = \frac{\text{Actual yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}} \times 100 = \frac{3.58}{4.2} \times 100 \approx 85.23 \%$.
The closest value is $85 \%$.

$A$ solution $(5 \, mL)$ of an acid $X$ is completely neutralized by $y \, mL$ of $1 \, M \, NaOH$. The same volume $(y \, mL)$ of $1 \, M \, NaOH$ is required to neutralize $10 \, mL$ of $0.6 \, M \, H_2SO_4$ completely. The normality $(N)$ of the acid $X$ is $......$
A
$1.2$
B
$2.4$
C
$4.8$
D
$0.6$

Solution

(B) The number of equivalents is given by the formula: $\text{Equivalents} = \text{Molarity} \times \text{Volume} \times \text{n-factor}$.
For $H_2SO_4$,the n-factor (basicity) is $2$. The number of equivalents of $H_2SO_4$ is $0.6 \, M \times 10 \, mL \times 2 = 12 \, \text{meq}$.
Since $y \, mL$ of $1 \, M \, NaOH$ neutralizes $10 \, mL$ of $0.6 \, M \, H_2SO_4$,the number of equivalents of $NaOH$ must be equal to the number of equivalents of $H_2SO_4$.
Equivalents of $NaOH = 1 \, M \times y \, mL \times 1 = y \, \text{meq}$.
Equating the two: $y = 12$.
Now,for acid $X$,$5 \, mL$ is neutralized by $y \, mL$ $(12 \, mL)$ of $1 \, M \, NaOH$.
Using the principle of equivalence: $N_X \times V_X = N_{NaOH} \times V_{NaOH}$.
$N_X \times 5 \, mL = 1 \, N \times 12 \, mL$.
$N_X = \frac{12}{5} = 2.4 \, N$.

MediumMCQ
$X \ g$ of $Ca$ [atomic mass $= 40$] dissolves completely in concentrated $HCl$ solution to produce $5.04 \ L$ of $H_2$ gas at $STP$. The value of $X$ is closest to
A
$4.5$
B
$8.1$
C
$9.0$
D
$16.2$

Solution

(C) The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is:
$Ca + 2HCl \rightarrow CaCl_2 + H_2$
At $STP$,$1 \ mole$ of any gas occupies $22.4 \ L$.
Therefore,the number of moles of $H_2$ produced is:
$n(H_2) = \frac{5.04 \ L}{22.4 \ L/mol} = 0.225 \ mol$
From the stoichiometry of the reaction,$1 \ mole$ of $Ca$ produces $1 \ mole$ of $H_2$.
Thus,the moles of $Ca$ required is $0.225 \ mol$.
Given the atomic mass of $Ca = 40 \ g/mol$,the mass $X$ is:
$X = n(Ca) \times \text{molar mass}(Ca)$
$X = 0.225 \ mol \times 40 \ g/mol = 9.0 \ g$
Therefore,the value of $X$ is $9.0$.

$LiOH$ reacts with $CO_2$ to form $Li_2CO_3$ (atomic mass of $Li = 7$). The amount of $CO_2$ (in $g$) consumed by $1\, g$ of $LiOH$ is closest to $....\, g$
A
$0.916$
B
$1.832$
C
$0.544$
D
$1.088$

Solution

(A) The balanced chemical equation is: $2LiOH + CO_2 \longrightarrow Li_2CO_3 + H_2O$
Molar mass of $LiOH = 7 + 16 + 1 = 24\, g/mol$.
Number of moles of $LiOH = \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{molar mass}} = \frac{1\, g}{24\, g/mol} = \frac{1}{24}\, mol$.
According to the stoichiometry,$2\, mol$ of $LiOH$ reacts with $1\, mol$ of $CO_2$.
Therefore,moles of $CO_2$ required $= \frac{1}{2} \times \text{moles of } LiOH = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{24} = \frac{1}{48}\, mol$.
Molar mass of $CO_2 = 12 + (2 \times 16) = 44\, g/mol$.
Mass of $CO_2 = \text{moles} \times \text{molar mass} = \frac{1}{48} \times 44 = 0.9166...\, g \approx 0.916\, g$.

$A$ $1.85 \ g$ sample of an arsenic containing pesticide was chemically converted to $AsO_4^{3-}$ (atomic mass of $As = 74.9$) and titrated with $Pb^{2+}$ to form $Pb_3(AsO_4)_2$. If $20 \ mL$ of $0.1 \ M \ Pb^{2+}$ is required to reach the equivalence point,the mass percentage of arsenic in the pesticide sample is closest to
A
$8.1$
B
$2.3$
C
$5.4$
D
$3.6$

Solution

(C) The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is: $3 Pb^{2+} + 2 AsO_4^{3-} \longrightarrow Pb_3(AsO_4)_2$.
From the stoichiometry,$3 \ mol$ of $Pb^{2+}$ reacts with $2 \ mol$ of $AsO_4^{3-}$.
Therefore,$1 \ mol$ of $Pb^{2+}$ reacts with $\frac{2}{3} \ mol$ of $AsO_4^{3-}$.
Number of moles of $Pb^{2+}$ used: $n_{Pb^{2+}} = Molarity \times Volume (L) = 0.1 \times 0.020 = 2 \times 10^{-3} \ mol$.
Number of moles of $As$ present: $n_{As} = \frac{2}{3} \times 2 \times 10^{-3} = 0.001333 \ mol$.
Mass of $As$ in the sample: $W_{As} = n_{As} \times \text{atomic mass of } As = 0.001333 \times 74.9 = 0.0998 \ g$.
Mass percentage of $As$: $\% \text{ of } As = \frac{0.0998}{1.85} \times 100 \approx 5.395 \%$.
Rounding to the nearest value,we get $5.4 \%$.

If Avogadro's number is $A_0$,the number of sulphur atoms present in $200 \, mL$ of $1 \, N \, H_2SO_4$ is
A
$\frac{A_0}{5}$
B
$\frac{A_0}{2}$
C
$\frac{A_0}{10}$
D
$A_0$

Solution

(C)
Given,
Normality of $H_2SO_4 = 1 \, N$
Avogadro's number $= A_0$
Volume of $H_2SO_4 = 200 \, mL = 0.2 \, L$
Normality $=$ Basicity $\times$ Molarity
For $H_2SO_4$,basicity $= 2$
$\therefore 1 = 2 \times M \implies M = 0.5 \, mol/L$
Number of moles of $H_2SO_4 = M \times V(L) = 0.5 \times 0.2 = 0.1 \, mol$
Since each molecule of $H_2SO_4$ contains $1$ atom of $S$,the number of moles of $S$ atoms $= 0.1 \, mol$
Number of $S$ atoms $= 0.1 \times A_0 = \frac{A_0}{10}$

When $262 \ g$ of xenon (atomic mass $= 131$) reacted completely with $152 \ g$ of fluorine (atomic mass $= 19$),a mixture of $XeF_2$ and $XeF_6$ was produced. The molar ratio $XeF_2 : XeF_6$ is
A
$1 : 2$
B
$1 : 4$
C
$1 : 1$
D
$1 : 3$

Solution

(C) The chemical reaction is: $2Xe + 4F_2 \longrightarrow XeF_2 + XeF_6$
Initial moles of $Xe = \frac{262}{131} = 2 \ mol$.
Initial moles of $F_2 = \frac{152}{38} = 4 \ mol$.
Let $x$ be the moles of $XeF_2$ and $y$ be the moles of $XeF_6$ formed.
According to the law of conservation of mass (atoms):
For $Xe$: $x + y = 2$
For $F$: $2x + 6y = 2 \times 4 = 8$
Solving the equations: $x + y = 2$ and $x + 3y = 4$.
Subtracting the first from the second: $2y = 2$,so $y = 1$.
Substituting $y = 1$ into $x + y = 2$,we get $x = 1$.
Thus,the molar ratio $XeF_2 : XeF_6$ is $1 : 1$.

When $22.4 \, L$ of $C_4H_8$ at $STP$ is burnt completely,$89.6 \, L$ of $CO_2$ gas at $STP$ and $72 \, g$ of water are produced. The volume of the oxygen gas at $STP$ consumed in the reaction is closest to $.... \, L$
A
$89.6$
B
$112$
C
$134.4$
D
$22.4$

Solution

(C) The balanced chemical equation for the combustion of $C_4H_8$ is:
$C_4H_{8(g)} + 6O_{2(g)} \longrightarrow 4CO_{2(g)} + 4H_2O_{(l)}$
According to the stoichiometry of the reaction,$1 \, mole$ of $C_4H_8$ reacts with $6 \, moles$ of $O_2$.
At $STP$,$1 \, mole$ of any gas occupies $22.4 \, L$.
Given $22.4 \, L$ of $C_4H_8$ corresponds to $1 \, mole$.
Therefore,the volume of $O_2$ required is $6 \times 22.4 \, L = 134.4 \, L$.

The volume of oxygen at $STP$ required to burn $2.4 \,g$ of carbon completely is $.... \,L$
A
$1.12$

$8.96$
C
$2.24$
D
$4.48$

Solution

(D)
The combustion reaction of carbon is:
$C_{(s)} + O_{2(g)} \longrightarrow CO_{2(g)}$
From the stoichiometry,$1 \,mole$ of carbon $(12 \,g)$ reacts with $1 \,mole$ of oxygen ($22.4 \,L$ at $STP$).
Therefore,$2.4 \,g$ of carbon reacts with:
$\text{Moles of } C = \frac{2.4 \,g}{12 \,g/mol} = 0.2 \,mol$
Since $1 \,mol$ of $C$ requires $1 \,mol$ of $O_2$,$0.2 \,mol$ of $C$ requires $0.2 \,mol$ of $O_2$.
Volume of $O_2$ at $STP = 0.2 \,mol \times 22.4 \,L/mol = 4.48 \,L$.

$10 \ mol$ of a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen gases at a pressure of $1 \ atm$ at constant volume and temperature,react to form $3.6 \ g$ of liquid water. The pressure of the resulting mixture will be closest to $..... \ atm$
A
$1.07$
B
$0.97$
C
$1.02$
D
$0.92$

Solution

(B) $2H_{2(g)} + O_{2(g)} \longrightarrow 2H_2O_{(l)}$
$18 \ g$ of $H_2O = 1 \ mol$,so $3.6 \ g$ of $H_2O = \frac{3.6}{18} = 0.2 \ mol$.
According to the stoichiometry,$0.2 \ mol$ of $H_2O$ is produced from $0.2 \ mol$ of $H_2$ and $0.1 \ mol$ of $O_2$.
Total moles of gases consumed $= 0.2 + 0.1 = 0.3 \ mol$.
Initial moles of gas mixture $= 10 \ mol$.
Remaining moles of gas mixture $= 10 - 0.3 = 9.7 \ mol$.
Since $V$ and $T$ are constant,$P \propto n$.
$\frac{P_1}{n_1} = \frac{P_2}{n_2} \Rightarrow \frac{1 \ atm}{10 \ mol} = \frac{P_2}{9.7 \ mol}$.
$P_2 = \frac{9.7}{10} = 0.97 \ atm$.

The amount of metallic $Zn$ (atomic weight $= 65.4$) required to react with aqueous sodium hydroxide to produce $1 \ g$ of $H_2$ is $.... \ g$.
A
$32.7$
B
$98.1$
C
$65.4$
D
$16.3$

Solution

(A) The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is:
$Zn + 2NaOH_{(aq)} \longrightarrow Na_2ZnO_2 + H_2 \uparrow$
From the stoichiometry of the reaction,$1 \ mol$ of $Zn$ $(65.4 \ g)$ produces $1 \ mol$ of $H_2$ $(2 \ g)$.
Therefore,$2 \ g$ of $H_2$ is produced by $65.4 \ g$ of $Zn$.
To produce $1 \ g$ of $H_2$,the amount of $Zn$ required is:
$\frac{65.4 \ g \ Zn}{2 \ g \ H_2} \times 1 \ g \ H_2 = 32.7 \ g$ of $Zn$.

The weight of calcium oxide formed by burning $20 \ g$ of calcium in excess oxygen is $.... \ g$
A
$36$
B
$56$
C
$28$
D
$72$

Solution

(C) The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is:
$2Ca + O_2 \rightarrow 2CaO$
Step $1$: Calculate the moles of $Ca$ used.
$Moles \ of \ Ca = \frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}} = \frac{20 \ g}{40 \ g/mol} = 0.5 \ mol$
Step $2$: Use stoichiometry to find the moles of $CaO$ produced.
From the equation,$2 \ mol$ of $Ca$ produces $2 \ mol$ of $CaO$,which means $1 \ mol$ of $Ca$ produces $1 \ mol$ of $CaO$.
Therefore,$0.5 \ mol$ of $Ca$ will produce $0.5 \ mol$ of $CaO$.
Step $3$: Calculate the mass of $CaO$.
$Mass \ of \ CaO = \text{Moles} \times \text{Molar mass} = 0.5 \ mol \times 56 \ g/mol = 28 \ g$
Thus,the weight of calcium oxide formed is $28 \ g$.

(B) The correct option is $B$.
Let the volume of both $HCl$ and $H_2SO_4$ solutions be $V$.
Number of moles of $H^{+}$ ions from $HCl = \text{Molarity} \times \text{Basicity} \times \text{Volume} = 0.1 \times 1 \times V = 0.1 \, V$.
Number of moles of $H^{+}$ ions from $H_2SO_4 = 0.2 \times 2 \times V = 0.4 \, V$.
Total moles of $H^{+}$ ions in the mixture $= 0.1 \, V + 0.4 \, V = 0.5 \, V$.
Total volume of the resulting solution $= V + V = 2 \, V$.
Concentration of $H^{+}$ ions $[H^{+}] = \frac{\text{Total moles of } H^{+}}{\text{Total volume}} = \frac{0.5 \, V}{2 \, V} = 0.25 \, mol / L$.

A
$11$
B
$5.5$
C
$22$
D
$2.2$

Solution

(A) The balanced chemical equation for the thermal decomposition of $CaCO_{3}$ is:
$CaCO_{3}(s) \stackrel{\Delta}{\longrightarrow} CaO(s) + CO_{2}(g)$
From the stoichiometry of the reaction,$1 \ mol$ of $CaCO_{3}$ produces $1 \ mol$ of $CO_{2}$.
The molar mass of $CaCO_{3} = 100 \ g/mol$.
The number of moles of $CaCO_{3}$ in $25 \ g$ is:
$n(CaCO_{3}) = \frac{25 \ g}{100 \ g/mol} = 0.25 \ mol$.
Since $1 \ mol$ of $CaCO_{3}$ yields $1 \ mol$ of $CO_{2}$,$0.25 \ mol$ of $CaCO_{3}$ will yield $0.25 \ mol$ of $CO_{2}$.
The molar mass of $CO_{2} = 12 + (2 \times 16) = 44 \ g/mol$.
The mass of $CO_{2}$ produced is:
$Mass = n \times M = 0.25 \ mol \times 44 \ g/mol = 11 \ g$.

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is:
$4 Al + 3 MnO_2 \longrightarrow 3 Mn + 2 Al_2O_3$
From the stoichiometry of the reaction,$3 \ moles$ of $MnO_2$ require $4 \ moles$ of $Al$ for complete reduction.
Therefore,$1 \ mole$ of $MnO_2$ requires $4/3 \ moles$ of $Al$.
Thus,the amount of $Al$ required to reduce $1 \ g \ mol$ of $MnO_2$ is $4/3 \ g \ mol$.

Given: Molar Mass of $Na$,$O$,and $H$ is $23$,$16$,and $1 \ g \ mol^{-1}$ respectively.
A
$181$
B
$182$
C
$180$
D
$183$

Solution

(C) Step $1$: Calculate the molar mass of $NaOH$.
$Molar \ mass = 23 + 16 + 1 = 40 \ g \ mol^{-1}$.
Step $2$: Calculate the molarity $(M_1)$ of the stock solution.
$M_1 = \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{molar mass}} \times \frac{1000}{\text{volume in mL}} = \frac{5}{40} \times \frac{1000}{450} = 0.125 \times 2.222 = 0.2778 \ M$.
Step $3$: Use the dilution formula $M_1 V_1 = M_2 V_2$ to find $V_1$.
$0.2778 \times V_1 = 0.1 \times 500$.
$V_1 = \frac{50}{0.2778} = 180 \ mL$.

The density of a monobasic strong acid (Molar mass $24.2 \ g \ mol^{-1}$) is $1.21 \ kg \ L^{-1}$. The volume of its solution required for the complete neutralization of $25 \ mL$ of $0.24 \ M \ NaOH$ is $.............. \times 10^{-2} \ mL$ (Nearest integer).
A
$6$
B
$12$
C
$3$
D
$24$

Solution

(B) For a monobasic acid,the reaction with $NaOH$ is: $HA + NaOH \rightarrow NaA + H_2O$.
Since the acid is monobasic,$1 \ mol$ of acid reacts with $1 \ mol$ of $NaOH$.
Millimoles of $NaOH = M \times V(mL) = 0.24 \times 25 = 6 \ mmol$.
Therefore,millimoles of acid required $= 6 \ mmol$.
Mass of acid $= \text{moles} \times \text{molar mass} = 6 \times 10^{-3} \ mol \times 24.2 \ g \ mol^{-1} = 0.1452 \ g$.
Given density $d = 1.21 \ kg \ L^{-1} = 1.21 \ g \ mL^{-1}$.
Volume of acid solution $V = \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{density}} = \frac{0.1452 \ g}{1.21 \ g \ mL^{-1}} = 0.12 \ mL$.
Converting to the required format: $0.12 \ mL = 12 \times 10^{-2} \ mL$.

When a hydrocarbon $A$ undergoes combustion in the presence of air,it requires $9.5$ equivalents of oxygen and produces $3$ equivalents of water. What is the molecular formula of $A$?
A
$C_8H_6$
B
$C_9H_9$
C
$C_6H_6$
D
$C_9H_6$

Solution

(A) The general combustion reaction for a hydrocarbon $C_xH_y$ is given by:
$C_xH_y + (x + \frac{y}{4}) O_2 \rightarrow xCO_2 + \frac{y}{2} H_2O$
Given that the reaction produces $3$ equivalents of water,we have:
$\frac{y}{2} = 3 \Rightarrow y = 6$
Given that the reaction requires $9.5$ equivalents of oxygen,we have:
$x + \frac{y}{4} = 9.5$
Substituting $y = 6$:
$x + \frac{6}{4} = 9.5$
$x + 1.5 = 9.5$
$x = 8$
Therefore,the molecular formula of the hydrocarbon $A$ is $C_8H_6$.

$n = Molarity \times Volume(L) = 0.2 \ mol \ L^{-1} \times 0.3 \ L = 0.06 \ mol$.
Step $2$: Calculate the volume of $0.06 \ mol$ of $CO_2$ at $STP$ using the given molar volume.
$Volume = n \times \text{Molar Volume at } STP = 0.06 \ mol \times 22.7 \ L \ mol^{-1} = 1.362 \ L$.

Moles of $Zn$ used $= \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{molar mass}} = \frac{11.5 \ g}{65.4 \ g \ mol^{-1}} \approx 0.1758 \ mol$.
According to the stoichiometry of the reaction,$1 \ mol$ of $Zn$ produces $1 \ mol$ of $H_2$.
Therefore,moles of $H_2$ produced $= 0.1758 \ mol$.
Volume of $H_2$ at $STP = \text{moles} \times \text{molar volume at } STP = 0.1758 \ mol \times 22.7 \ L \ mol^{-1} \approx 3.99 \ L$.

A
$58$
B
$57$
C
$59$
D
$56$

Solution

(C) Let the number of $M^{2+}$ ions be $x$. Then the number of $M^{3+}$ ions is $(0.83 - x)$.
Since the compound is electrically neutral,the total positive charge must equal the total negative charge:
$2x + 3(0.83 - x) = 2$
$2x + 2.49 - 3x = 2$
$-x = -0.49$
$x = 0.49$
Thus,the number of $M^{2+}$ ions is $0.49$.
The percentage of $M^{2+}$ ions is given by:
$\% M^{2+} = \frac{0.49}{0.83} \times 100 \approx 59.036\%$
Rounding to the nearest integer,we get $59\%$.

$\frac{1}{12}$
B
$0.08$
C
$\frac{1}{16}$
D
$\frac{1}{20}$

Solution

(A) In the compound $Fe_{0.96}O$,the total charge must be zero.
Let the number of $Fe^{2+}$ ions be $x$.
Then the number of $Fe^{3+}$ ions is $(0.96 - x)$.
The charge balance equation is: $(x)(+2) + (0.96 - x)(+3) + 1(-2) = 0$.
$2x + 2.88 - 3x - 2 = 0$.
$-x + 0.88 = 0$,so $x = 0.88$.
The number of $Fe^{3+}$ ions is $0.96 - 0.88 = 0.08$.
The fraction of $Fe$ existing as $Fe(III)$ is $\frac{0.08}{0.96} = \frac{1}{12}$.

(C) The neutralization reaction is: $Ba(OH)_2 + 2HBr \rightarrow BaBr_2 + 2H_2O$.
Using the law of equivalence,$n_{eq}(HBr) = n_{eq}(Ba(OH)_2)$.
Since $n_{eq} = M \times V \times n_{factor}$,where $n_{factor}$ for $HBr$ is $1$ and for $Ba(OH)_2$ is $2$:
$0.02 \times V_1 \times 1 = 0.01 \times 10 \times 2$.
$0.02 \times V_1 = 0.2$.
$V_1 = \frac{0.2}{0.02} = 10 \, mL$.

Reason $R:$ Molar mass of hydrated oxalic acid is $126 \ g \ mol^{-1}$.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:
A
Both $A$ and $R$ are true but $R$ is $NOT$ the correct explanation of $A$.
B
$A$ is false but $R$ is true.
C
$A$ is true but $R$ is false.
D
Both $A$ and $R$ are true and $R$ is the correct explanation of $A$.

Solution

(D) The molar mass of hydrated oxalic acid $(H_2C_2O_4 \cdot 2H_2O)$ is calculated as: $(2 \times 1) + (2 \times 12) + (4 \times 16) + 2 \times (2 \times 1 + 16) = 2 + 24 + 64 + 36 = 126 \ g \ mol^{-1}$. Thus,Reason $R$ is true.
To calculate the molarity $(M)$ of the solution:
$M = \frac{\text{mass of solute (g)}}{\text{molar mass (g mol}^{-1})} \times \frac{1000}{\text{volume of solution (mL)}}$
$M = \frac{3.1500}{126} \times \frac{1000}{250.0}$
$M = 0.025 \times 4 = 0.1 \ M$.
Since the calculated molarity is $0.1 \ M$,Assertion $A$ is true.
The molar mass is used to calculate the number of moles,which is essential for determining the molarity. Therefore,$R$ is the correct explanation of $A$.

C
$222$
D

Solution

(A) The balanced chemical equation is: $Mg(s) + 2HCl(aq) \rightarrow MgCl_2(aq) + H_2(g) \uparrow$
Calculate the moles of magnesium $(Mg)$:
$n(Mg) = \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{molar mass}} = \frac{2.4 \ g}{24 \ g \ mol^{-1}} = 0.1 \ mol$
From the stoichiometry of the reaction,$1 \ mol$ of $Mg$ produces $1 \ mol$ of $H_2$ gas.
Therefore,$0.1 \ mol$ of $Mg$ produces $0.1 \ mol$ of $H_2$ gas.
Calculate the volume of $H_2$ at $STP$:
$V = n \times \text{molar volume} = 0.1 \ mol \times 22.4 \ L \ mol^{-1} = 2.24 \ L$
Convert $2.24 \ L$ to the form $x \times 10^{-2} \ L$:
$2.24 \ L = 224 \times 10^{-2} \ L$
Thus,the value of $x$ is $224$.

Solution

(A) $1$. Calculate the molar mass of the metal chloride using the ideal gas law at $STP$ ($22400 \ mL$ per mole):
$Molar \ mass = \frac{Mass \times 22400}{Volume} = \frac{0.57 \ g \times 22400 \ mL/mol}{100 \ mL} = 127.68 \ g/mol$.

B

C

D

Solution

(D) The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is:
$M_2CO_3 + 2HCl \rightarrow 2MCl + H_2O + CO_2$
From the stoichiometry of the reaction,$1 \ mol$ of $M_2CO_3$ produces $1 \ mol$ of $CO_2$.
Given that $0.01 \ mol$ of $CO_2$ is produced,the moles of $M_2CO_3$ reacted must be $0.01 \ mol$.
We know that $\text{moles} = \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{molar mass}}$.
Therefore,$0.01 \ mol = \frac{1 \ g}{\text{molar mass of } M_2CO_3}$.
$\text{Molar mass of } M_2CO_3 = \frac{1 \ g}{0.01 \ mol} = 100 \ g \ mol^{-1}$.

A
$1.32$
B
$1.12$
C
$1.76$
D
$2.64$

Solution

(C) The weight of impure limestone is $20 \ g$.
Since the limestone is $20 \%$ pure,the weight of pure $CaCO_3$ is $\frac{20}{100} \times 20 \ g = 4 \ g$.
The molar mass of $CaCO_3$ is $40 + 12 + (3 \times 16) = 100 \ g/mol$.
The number of moles of $CaCO_3$ is $n = \frac{4 \ g}{100 \ g/mol} = 0.04 \ mol$.
According to the reaction $CaCO_3 \rightarrow CaO + CO_2$,$1 \ mol$ of $CaCO_3$ produces $1 \ mol$ of $CO_2$.
Therefore,$0.04 \ mol$ of $CaCO_3$ produces $0.04 \ mol$ of $CO_2$.
The molar mass of $CO_2$ is $12 + (2 \times 16) = 44 \ g/mol$.

Solution

(C) The balanced chemical equation for the combustion of methane is:
$CH_4 + 2O_2 \rightarrow CO_2 + 2H_2O$
Calculate the molar mass of $CO_2$:
$M(CO_2) = 12.0 + 2 \times 16.0 = 44.0 \ g \ mol^{-1}$
Moles of $CO_2$ produced = $\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}} = \frac{22 \ g}{44 \ g \ mol^{-1}} = 0.5 \ mol$
From the stoichiometry of the reaction,$1 \ mol$ of $CH_4$ produces $1 \ mol$ of $CO_2$.
Therefore,$0.5 \ mol$ of $CO_2$ requires $0.5 \ mol$ of $CH_4$.
Calculate the molar mass of $CH_4$:
$M(CH_4) = 12.0 + 4 \times 1.0 = 16.0 \ g \ mol^{-1}$
Mass of $CH_4$ required = $\text{Moles} \times \text{Molar mass} = 0.5 \ mol \times 16.0 \ g \ mol^{-1} = 8 \ g$.

Solution

(B) The molarity $M$ is defined as the number of moles of solute per liter of solution.
$M = \frac{n_{NaOH}}{V_{sol} \text{ (in } L)}$
First,calculate the number of moles of $NaOH$:
$n_{NaOH} = \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{molar mass}} = \frac{84 \ g}{40 \ g \ mol^{-1}} = 2.1 \ mol$
Now,use the molarity formula to find the volume $V$:
$3 \ M = \frac{2.1 \ mol}{V \text{ (in } L)}$
$V = \frac{2.1}{3} \ L = 0.7 \ L$
Since $1 \ L = 1 \ dm^3$,$V = 0.7 \ dm^3 = 7 \times 10^{-1} \ dm^3$.
Thus,the value is $7$.

Molar mass of aniline $(C_6H_5NH_2)$ = $(6 \times 12) + (7 \times 1) + 14 = 93 \ g \ mol^{-1}$.
Molar mass of acetanilide $(C_6H_5NHCOCH_3)$ = $(8 \times 12) + (9 \times 1) + 14 + 16 = 135 \ g \ mol^{-1}$.
Number of moles of aniline = $\frac{9.3 \ g}{93 \ g \ mol^{-1}} = 0.1 \ mol$.
Since the reaction is $100 \%$ complete,$0.1 \ mol$ of aniline will produce $0.1 \ mol$ of acetanilide.
Mass of acetanilide = $0.1 \ mol \times 135 \ g \ mol^{-1} = 13.5 \ g$.
Given that the mass is $x \times 10^{-1} \ g$,we have $13.5 = x \times 10^{-1}$,which implies $x = 135$.

The volume of $100 \ g$ of the solution is calculated using density $(d = 1.25 \ g \ mL^{-1})$:
$V = \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{density}} = \frac{100 \ g}{1.25 \ g \ mL^{-1}} = 80 \ mL$.
The number of moles of $H_2SO_4$ is:
$n = \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{molar mass}} = \frac{31.4 \ g}{98 \ g \ mol^{-1}} \approx 0.3204 \ mol$.
Molarity $(M)$ is defined as moles of solute per liter of solution:
$M = \frac{n}{V(L)} = \frac{0.3204 \ mol}{0.080 \ L} = 4.005 \ M$.

For oxalic acid, $n_{factor} = 2$. For $NaOH$, $n_{factor} = 1$.
$2 \times 0.5 \times 50 = 1 \times M_{NaOH} \times 25$.
$50 = 25 \times M_{NaOH} \Rightarrow M_{NaOH} = 2 \ M$.
Now, calculate the mass of $NaOH$ in $50 \ mL$ of this solution:
$Mass = Molarity \times Molar \ mass \times Volume (in \ L) = 2 \times 40 \times (50 \times 10^{-3}) = 4 \ g$.

The mass of sodium acetate $(CH_3COONa)$ required to prepare $250 \ mL$ of $0.35 \ M$ aqueous solution is . . . . . . $g$. (Molar mass of $CH_3COONa$ is $82.02 \ g \ mol^{-1}$)
A
$6$
B
$7$
C
$8$
D
$9$

Solution

(B) The number of moles of solute is calculated as: $Moles = Molarity \times Volume \ (L)$.
Given $Molarity = 0.35 \ M$ and $Volume = 250 \ mL = 0.25 \ L$.
$Moles = 0.35 \ mol \ L^{-1} \times 0.25 \ L = 0.0875 \ mol$.
The mass of the solute is calculated as: $Mass = Moles \times Molar \ mass$.
$Mass = 0.0875 \ mol \times 82.02 \ g \ mol^{-1} = 7.17675 \ g \approx 7.18 \ g$.
Rounding to the nearest integer as per the options,the correct value is $7 \ g$.

Number of moles of methane required to produce $22 \ g$ $CO_{2(g)}$ after combustion is $x \times 10^{-2}$ moles. The value of $x$ is
A
$30$
B
$40$
C
$50$
D
$60$

Solution

(C) The combustion reaction of methane is: $CH_{4(g)} + 2O_{2(g)} \rightarrow CO_{2(g)} + 2H_2O_{(l)}$
From the stoichiometry of the reaction,$1 \ mole$ of $CH_4$ produces $1 \ mole$ of $CO_2$.
The molar mass of $CO_2$ is $12 + 2 \times 16 = 44 \ g/mol$.
Number of moles of $CO_2$ produced $= \frac{22 \ g}{44 \ g/mol} = 0.5 \ mol$.
Since $1 \ mole$ of $CH_4$ produces $1 \ mole$ of $CO_2$,the moles of $CH_4$ required $= 0.5 \ mol$.
We are given that the moles of $CH_4$ required is $x \times 10^{-2}$.
$0.5 = x \times 10^{-2} \implies x = 0.5 \times 10^2 = 50$.
Thus,the value of $x$ is $50$.

$A$ sample of $CaCO_3$ and $MgCO_3$ weighing $2.21 \ g$ is ignited to a constant weight of $1.152 \ g$. The composition of the mixture is:
(Given molar mass in $g \ mol^{-1}: CaCO_3 = 100, MgCO_3 = 84$)
A
$1.187 \ g \ CaCO_3 + 1.023 \ g \ MgCO_3$
B
$1.023 \ g \ CaCO_3 + 1.023 \ g \ MgCO_3$
C
$1.187 \ g \ CaCO_3 + 1.187 \ g \ MgCO_3$
D
$1.023 \ g \ CaCO_3 + 1.187 \ g \ MgCO_3$

Solution

(A) $CaCO_{3(s)} \xrightarrow{\Delta} CaO_{(s)} + CO_{2(g)}$
$MgCO_{3(s)} \xrightarrow{\Delta} MgO_{(s)} + CO_{2(g)}$
Let the mass of $CaCO_3$ be $x \ g$.
Then the mass of $MgCO_3 = (2.21 - x) \ g$.
Mass of $CaO$ formed $= \frac{x}{100} \times 56 = 0.56x \ g$.
Mass of $MgO$ formed $= \frac{2.21 - x}{84} \times 40 = 0.4762(2.21 - x) \ g$.
Total mass of residue $= 0.56x + 0.4762(2.21 - x) = 1.152$.
$0.56x + 1.0524 - 0.4762x = 1.152$.
$0.0838x = 0.0996$.
$x \approx 1.188 \ g$ of $CaCO_3$.
Mass of $MgCO_3 = 2.21 - 1.188 = 1.022 \ g$.
Rounding to the nearest option,the composition is $1.187 \ g \ CaCO_3$ and $1.023 \ g \ MgCO_3$.

The molarity of $1 \ L$ orthophosphoric acid $(H_3PO_4)$ having $70 \%$ purity by weight (specific gravity $1.54 \ g \ cm^{-3}$) is $ . . . . . . $ $M$.
(Molar mass of $H_3PO_4 = 98 \ g \ mol^{-1}$)
A
$9$
B
$10$
C
$11$
D
$12$

Solution

(C) Specific gravity (density) $= 1.54 \ g \ cm^{-3}$.
Volume of solution $= 1 \ L = 1000 \ mL$.
Mass of solution $= \text{Density} \times \text{Volume} = 1.54 \ g \ cm^{-3} \times 1000 \ cm^3 = 1540 \ g$.
Since the solution is $70 \%$ pure by weight,the mass of $H_3PO_4 = 0.70 \times 1540 \ g = 1078 \ g$.
Moles of $H_3PO_4 = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Molar mass}} = \frac{1078 \ g}{98 \ g \ mol^{-1}} = 11 \ mol$.
Molarity $= \frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution in } L} = \frac{11 \ mol}{1 \ L} = 11 \ M$.

$10 \ mL$ of a gaseous hydrocarbon on combustion gives $40 \ mL$ of $CO_{2(g)}$ and $50 \ mL$ of water vapour. The total number of carbon and hydrogen atoms in the hydrocarbon is:
A
$20$
B
$14$
C
$30$
D
$13$

Solution

(B) The combustion reaction for a hydrocarbon $C_xH_y$ is given by:
$C_xH_y + (x + \frac{y}{4}) O_2 \rightarrow xCO_2 + \frac{y}{2} H_2O$
According to Avogadro's Law,the volume of gases is proportional to the number of moles.
Given: $10 \ mL$ of $C_xH_y$ produces $40 \ mL$ of $CO_2$ and $50 \ mL$ of $H_2O$.
From the stoichiometry,$1 \ mol$ of $C_xH_y$ produces $x \ mol$ of $CO_2$ and $\frac{y}{2} \ mol$ of $H_2O$.
Thus,$10x = 40 \implies x = 4$.
And $10 \times (\frac{y}{2}) = 50 \implies 5y = 50 \implies y = 10$.
The hydrocarbon is $C_4H_{10}$.
Total number of atoms $= x + y = 4 + 10 = 14$.

A
$20$
B
$0.2$
C

Solution

(B) $1$. Calculate the molar mass of $NaCl$: $23 + 35.5 = 58.5 \ g \ mol^{-1}$.
$2$. Calculate the number of moles of $NaCl$: $n = \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{molar mass}} = \frac{5.85 \ g}{58.5 \ g \ mol^{-1}} = 0.1 \ mol$.
$3$. Convert the volume of the solution to liters: $500 \ mL = 0.5 \ L$.
$4$. Calculate Molarity $(M)$: $M = \frac{n}{V(L)} = \frac{0.1 \ mol}{0.5 \ L} = 0.2 \ M$.

(Given molar mass of methane in $g \ mol^{-1}: 16$)
A
$0.75$
B
$0.25$
C
$0.35$
D
$0.5$

Solution

(B) The balanced chemical equation for the combustion of methane is:
$CH_4(g) + 2O_2(g) \longrightarrow CO_2(g) + 2H_2O(l)$
According to the stoichiometry of the reaction,$1 \ mole$ of $CH_4$ produces $1 \ mole$ of $CO_2$.
The molar mass of $CO_2$ is $12 + (2 \times 16) = 44 \ g \ mol^{-1}$.
Moles of $CO_2$ produced = $\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}} = \frac{11 \ g}{44 \ g \ mol^{-1}} = 0.25 \ mol$.
Since $1 \ mole$ of $CH_4$ produces $1 \ mole$ of $CO_2$,the number of moles of $CH_4$ required to produce $0.25 \ mol$ of $CO_2$ is $0.25 \ mol$.

Combustion of glucose $(C_6H_{12}O_6)$ produces $CO_2$ and water. The amount of oxygen (in $g$) required for the complete combustion of $900 \ g$ of glucose is:
[Molar mass of glucose in $g \ mol^{-1} = 180$]
A
$480$
B
$960$
C
$800$
D
$32$

Solution

(B) The balanced chemical equation for the combustion of glucose is:
$C_6H_{12}O_{6(s)} + 6O_{2(g)} \longrightarrow 6CO_{2(g)} + 6H_2O_{(\ell)}$
First,calculate the number of moles of glucose:
$\text{Moles of glucose} = \frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}} = \frac{900 \ g}{180 \ g \ mol^{-1}} = 5 \ mol$
From the stoichiometry of the reaction,$1 \ mol$ of glucose requires $6 \ mol$ of $O_2$.
Therefore,$5 \ mol$ of glucose requires $5 \times 6 = 30 \ mol$ of $O_2$.
Finally,calculate the mass of $O_2$ required:
$\text{Mass of } O_2 = \text{Moles} \times \text{Molar mass of } O_2 = 30 \ mol \times 32 \ g \ mol^{-1} = 960 \ g$
