Dinitrogen and dioxygen react with each other to form different compounds. The experimental data is given below:
Mass of Dinitrogen Mass of Dioxygen
$(i) \ 14 \ g$ $16 \ g$
$(ii) \ 14 \ g$ $32 \ g$
$(iii) \ 28 \ g$ $32 \ g$
$(iv) \ 28 \ g$ $80 \ g$

$(a)$ Which law of chemical combination is followed by the above experimental data? State the law.
$(b)$ Fill in the blanks in the following conversions:
$(i) \ 1 \ km = \dots \ mm = \dots \ pm$
$(ii) \ 1 \ mg = \dots \ kg = \dots \ ng$
$(iii) \ 1 \ mL = \dots \ L = \dots \ dm^3$

Solution

(N/A) The law of multiple proportions is followed. It states that if two elements can combine to form more than one compound,the masses of one element that combine with a fixed mass of the other element are in the ratio of small whole numbers.
Fixing the mass of dinitrogen at $28 \ g$,the masses of dioxygen are $32 \ g, 64 \ g, 32 \ g, 80 \ g$. The ratio is $32:64:32:80$,which simplifies to $2:4:2:5$.
$(b)$ $(i) \ 1 \ km = 10^6 \ mm = 10^{15} \ pm$
$(ii) \ 1 \ mg = 10^{-6} \ kg = 10^6 \ ng$
$(iii) \ 1 \ mL = 10^{-3} \ L = 10^{-3} \ dm^3$

At $300 \ K$ temperature,$20 \ g \ H_2$,$220 \ g \ CO_2$,and $140 \ g \ N_2$ are filled in a vessel having volume $2 \ L$. Find the total pressure in $bar$ unit and which gas is removed from the vessel so that pressure can be reduced by $50 \%$. $(R = 8.34 \times 10^{-2} \ L \ bar \ K^{-1} \ mol^{-1})$

Solution

(A) $1$. Calculate moles of each gas: $n(H_2) = 20/2 = 10 \ mol$,$n(CO_2) = 220/44 = 5 \ mol$,$n(N_2) = 140/28 = 5 \ mol$.
$2$. Total moles $n_{\text{total}} = 10 + 5 + 5 = 20 \ mol$.
$3$. Using ideal gas equation $PV = nRT$: $P = (nRT)/V = (20 \times 8.34 \times 10^{-2} \times 300) / 2 = 249.42 \ bar$.
$4$. To reduce pressure by $50 \%$,total moles must be reduced to $10 \ mol$.
$5$. Since $n(H_2) = 10 \ mol$,removing all $H_2$ gas will reduce the total moles to $5 + 5 = 10 \ mol$,thereby reducing the pressure by $50 \%$.

$0.45 \ g$ of an organic compound on combustion gives $0.792 \ g$ of $CO_2$ and $0.324 \ g$ of $H_2O$. In the Kjeldahl method,$0.24 \ g$ of the same compound yields ammonia,which is absorbed in $50 \ mL$ of $0.25 \ N \ H_2SO_4$. The excess acid requires $77.0 \ mL$ of $0.25 \ N \ NaOH$ for neutralization. Determine the empirical formula of the compound. (Atomic masses: $C = 12, H = 1, O = 16, N = 14, S = 32$)

Solution

(D) $1$. Calculate percentage of $C$: $\text{Mass of } C = (12/44) \times 0.792 = 0.216 \ g$. $\% C = (0.216 / 0.45) \times 100 = 48\%$.
$2$. Calculate percentage of $H$: $\text{Mass of } H = (2/18) \times 0.324 = 0.036 \ g$. $\% H = (0.036 / 0.45) \times 100 = 8\%$.
$3$. Calculate percentage of $N$: $\text{Total } H_2SO_4 = 50 \times 0.25 = 12.5 \ \text{meq}$. $\text{Acid used for } NH_3 = 12.5 - (77.0 \times 0.25 / 2) = 12.5 - 9.625 = 2.875 \ \text{meq}$. $\text{Mass of } N = (2.875 \times 14) / 1000 = 0.04025 \ g$. $\% N = (0.04025 / 0.24) \times 100 \approx 16.77\%$.
$4$. Calculate percentage of $O$: $\% O = 100 - (48 + 8 + 16.77) = 27.23\%$.
$5$. Empirical formula calculation: $C: 48/12 = 4, H: 8/1 = 8, N: 16.77/14 \approx 1.2, O: 27.23/16 \approx 1.7$. Dividing by smallest $(1.2)$: $C: 3.33, H: 6.66, N: 1, O: 1.4$. Multiplying by $3$: $C: 10, H: 20, N: 3, O: 4$. The empirical formula is $C_{10}H_{20}N_3O_4$.

State whether the following statements are true or false:
$(i)$ The molarity of a $0.6 \ N$ aqueous solution of ${H_3PO_3}$ is $1.2 \ M$.
$(ii)$ $\text{Empirical formula} = n \times \text{Molecular formula}$.
$(iii)$ In ${Cl_2O}$,the weight of chlorine combining with $8 \ g$ of oxygen is $35.5 \ g$.

Solution

(A) $(i)$ False. For ${H_3PO_3}$,the basicity is $2$. Therefore,$\text{Normality} = \text{Molarity} \times \text{Basicity}$. $0.6 = M \times 2$,so $M = 0.3 \ M$.
$(ii)$ False. The correct relation is $\text{Molecular formula} = n \times \text{Empirical formula}$.
$(iii)$ True. In ${Cl_2O}$,$2 \times 35.5 \ g$ of ${Cl}$ combines with $16 \ g$ of ${O}$. Thus,$35.5 \ g$ of ${Cl}$ combines with $8 \ g$ of ${O}$.

State whether the following statements are true or false:
$(i)$ $^\circ F = \frac{9}{5} (^circ C) + 32$
$(ii)$ In $1808$,Dalton published the law of chemical combination in the journal "New System of Chemical Philosophy".
$(iii)$ If the molar mass of a dibasic acid is $100$,its equivalent mass is $200$.

Solution

(N/A) $(i)$ True: This is the standard conversion formula between Fahrenheit and Celsius scales.
$(ii)$ False: John Dalton published his work in the book titled "$A$ New System of Chemical Philosophy" in $1808$,which laid the foundation for modern atomic theory.
$(iii)$ False: For a dibasic acid,the equivalent mass is calculated as $\frac{\text{Molar Mass}}{\text{Basicity}} = \frac{100}{2} = 50$,not $200$.

If $1 \ g$ of each of the following gases are taken at $STP$,which of the gases will occupy $(a)$ greatest volume and $(b)$ smallest volume? $CO, H_2O, CH_4, NO$

Solution

(N/A) From Avogadro's law,the volume of $1 \ mol$ of any gas at $STP$ is $22.4 \ L$.
The volume occupied by $1 \ g$ of a gas is given by $\frac{22.4 \ L}{\text{Molar mass in } g \ mol^{-1}}$.
$1$. For $CO$ (Molar mass $= 28 \ g \ mol^{-1}$): Volume $= \frac{22.4}{28} = 0.80 \ L$.
$2$. For $H_2O$ (Molar mass $= 18 \ g \ mol^{-1}$): Volume $= \frac{22.4}{18} \approx 1.24 \ L$.
$3$. For $CH_4$ (Molar mass $= 16 \ g \ mol^{-1}$): Volume $= \frac{22.4}{16} = 1.40 \ L$.
$4$. For $NO$ (Molar mass $= 30 \ g \ mol^{-1}$): Volume $= \frac{22.4}{30} \approx 0.75 \ L$.
Comparing the volumes,$CH_4$ occupies the greatest volume $(1.40 \ L)$ and $NO$ occupies the smallest volume $(0.75 \ L)$.

Lattice enthalpy and enthalpy of solution of $NaCl$ are $788 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$ and $4 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$ respectively. The hydration enthalpy of $NaCl$ is ....... $kJ \ mol^{-1}$
A
$-780$
B
$-784$
C
$780$
D
$784$

Solution

(B) The relationship between enthalpy of solution,lattice enthalpy,and hydration enthalpy is given by the Born-Haber cycle equation:
$\Delta H_{sol} = \Delta H_{lattice} + \Delta H_{hydration}$
Given:
$\Delta H_{lattice} = 788 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$
$\Delta H_{sol} = 4 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$
Substituting these values into the equation:
$4 = 788 + \Delta H_{hydration}$
$\Delta H_{hydration} = 4 - 788 = -784 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$

Which one of the following is the lightest?
A
$0.2 \ mol$ of hydrogen gas
B
$6.023 \times 10^{23}$ molecules of nitrogen
C
$0.1 \ g$ of silver
D
$0.1 \ mol$ of oxygen gas

Solution

(C) To find the lightest,we calculate the mass for each option:
$1$. Mass of $0.2 \ mol$ of $H_2 = 0.2 \ mol \times 2 \ g/mol = 0.4 \ g$.
$2$. $6.023 \times 10^{23}$ molecules of $N_2$ corresponds to $1 \ mol$. Mass of $1 \ mol$ of $N_2 = 1 \ mol \times 28 \ g/mol = 28 \ g$.
$3$. Mass of $0.1 \ g$ of silver is given as $0.1 \ g$.
$4$. Mass of $0.1 \ mol$ of $O_2 = 0.1 \ mol \times 32 \ g/mol = 3.2 \ g$.
Comparing the masses: $0.1 \ g < 0.4 \ g < 2.8 \ g < 3.2 \ g$.
Therefore,$0.1 \ g$ of silver is the lightest.

A
$5$
B
$3$
C
$4$
D
$1$

Solution

(A) Mohr's salt is $(NH_4)_2Fe(SO_4)_2 \cdot 6H_2O$. The number of water molecules is $6$.
Potash alum is $KAl(SO_4)_2 \cdot 12H_2O$. The number of water molecules is $12$.
The ratio of the number of water molecules in Mohr's salt to potash alum is $\frac{6}{12} = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5$.
Expressing $0.5$ in the form $.... \times 10^{-1}$,we get $5 \times 10^{-1}$.

$4 \ g$ equimolar mixture of $NaOH$ and $Na_{2}CO_{3}$ contains $x \ g$ of $NaOH$ and $y \ g$ of $Na_{2}CO_{3}$. The value of $x$ is $..... \ g$. (Nearest integer)
A
$1$
B
$2$
C
$3$
D
$4$

Solution

(A) Let the number of moles of $NaOH$ and $Na_{2}CO_{3}$ be $a$ each,as the mixture is equimolar.
The molar mass of $NaOH$ is $40 \ g/mol$ and the molar mass of $Na_{2}CO_{3}$ is $106 \ g/mol$.
The total mass of the mixture is given by: $W_{NaOH} + W_{Na_{2}CO_{3}} = 4 \ g$.
Substituting the masses in terms of moles: $(a \times 40) + (a \times 106) = 4$.
$146a = 4 \Rightarrow a = \frac{4}{146} \ mol$.
The mass of $NaOH$ $(x)$ is: $x = a \times 40 = \frac{4}{146} \times 40 = \frac{160}{146} \approx 1.095 \ g$.
Rounding to the nearest integer,$x = 1 \ g$.

$1 \, L$ aqueous solution of $H_{2}SO_{4}$ contains $0.02 \, mmol$ $H_{2}SO_{4}$. $50 \%$ of this solution is diluted with deionized water to give $1 \, L$ solution $(A)$. In solution $(A)$,$0.01 \, mmol$ of $H_{2}SO_{4}$ are added. Total $mmol$ of $H_{2}SO_{4}$ in the final solution is $...... \times 10^{-3} \, mmol$.
A
$3$
B
$1$
C
$2$
D
$0$

Solution

(C) Initial amount of $H_{2}SO_{4} = 0.02 \, mmol$.
$50 \%$ of the solution is taken,so the amount of $H_{2}SO_{4}$ in this portion is $0.5 \times 0.02 \, mmol = 0.01 \, mmol$.
After adding $0.01 \, mmol$ of $H_{2}SO_{4}$ to solution $(A)$,the total amount is $0.01 \, mmol + 0.01 \, mmol = 0.02 \, mmol$.
To express $0.02 \, mmol$ in the form $x \times 10^{-3} \, mmol$,we write $0.02 = 20 \times 10^{-3}$.
Thus,the value is $20$.

Chlorophyll extracted from the crushed green leaves was dissolved in water to make $2 \, L$ solution of $Mg$ of concentration $48 \, ppm$. The number of atoms of $Mg$ in this solution is $x \times 10^{20}$ atoms. The value of $x$ is (Nearest Integer) (Given : Atomic mass of $Mg$ is $24 \, g \, mol^{-1}$,$N_{A} = 6.02 \times 10^{23} \, mol^{-1}$)
A
$22$
B
$24$
C
$23$
D
$20$

Solution

(B) Concentration in $ppm = \frac{\text{Mass of solute (in } g)}{\text{Volume of solution (in } mL)} \times 10^{6}$.
Given $ppm = 48$,Volume $= 2 \, L = 2000 \, mL$.
Mass of $Mg = \frac{48 \times 2000}{10^{6}} = 96 \times 10^{-3} \, g = 0.096 \, g$.
Moles of $Mg = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Atomic mass}} = \frac{0.096}{24} = 0.004 \, mol = 4 \times 10^{-3} \, mol$.
Number of $Mg$ atoms $= \text{Moles} \times N_{A} = 4 \times 10^{-3} \times 6.02 \times 10^{23} = 24.08 \times 10^{20}$.
Comparing with $x \times 10^{20}$,we get $x = 24.08$.
The nearest integer value of $x$ is $24$.

When $800 \ mL$ of $0.5 \ M$ nitric acid is heated in a beaker,its volume is reduced to half and $11.5 \ g$ of nitric acid is evaporated. The molarity of the remaining nitric acid solution is $x \times 10^{-2} \ M$. (Nearest Integer) (Molar mass of nitric acid is $63 \ g \ mol^{-1}$)
A
$51$
B
$52$
C
$53$
D
$54$

Solution

(D) Initial moles of $HNO_3$ = $Molarity \times Volume(L) = 0.5 \times 0.8 = 0.4 \ mol$.
Moles of $HNO_3$ evaporated = $\frac{Mass}{Molar \ mass} = \frac{11.5 \ g}{63 \ g \ mol^{-1}} \approx 0.1825 \ mol$.
Moles of $HNO_3$ remaining = $0.4 - 0.1825 = 0.2175 \ mol$.
New volume of solution = $\frac{800 \ mL}{2} = 400 \ mL = 0.4 \ L$.
New molarity = $\frac{Moles \ remaining}{Volume(L)} = \frac{0.2175}{0.4} = 0.54375 \ M$.
Expressing in $x \times 10^{-2} \ M$,we get $54.375 \times 10^{-2} \ M$.
Rounding to the nearest integer,$x = 54$.

The normality of $H_{2}SO_{4}$ in the solution obtained on mixing $100 \ mL$ of $0.1 \ M \ H_{2}SO_{4}$ with $50 \ mL$ of $0.1 \ M \ NaOH$ is $\times 10^{-1} \ N$. (Nearest Integer)
A
$1$
B
$2$
C
$3$
D
$4$

Solution

(A) The reaction is: $H_{2}SO_{4} + 2NaOH \rightarrow Na_{2}SO_{4} + 2H_{2}O$.
Number of milliequivalents of $H_{2}SO_{4} = \text{Molarity} \times \text{n-factor} \times \text{Volume (mL)} = 0.1 \times 2 \times 100 = 20 \ mEq$.
Number of milliequivalents of $NaOH = 0.1 \times 1 \times 50 = 5 \ mEq$.
Since $H_{2}SO_{4}$ is in excess,the remaining milliequivalents of $H_{2}SO_{4} = 20 - 5 = 15 \ mEq$.
Total volume of the solution $= 100 \ mL + 50 \ mL = 150 \ mL$.
Normality of the resulting solution $= \frac{\text{Remaining mEq}}{\text{Total Volume (mL)}} = \frac{15}{150} = 0.1 \ N = 1 \times 10^{-1} \ N$.
Thus,the nearest integer is $1$.

An organic compound contains $46.78 \%$ of a halogen $X$. When $2.00 \ g$ of this compound is heated with fuming $HNO_3$ in the presence of $AgNO_3$,$2.21 \ g$ of $AgX$ is formed. The halogen $X$ is:
[Given: atomic weight of $Ag = 108, F = 19, Cl = 35.5, Br = 80, I = 127$]
A
$F$
B
$Cl$
C
$Br$
D
$I$

Solution

(C) Mass of $AgX = 2.21 \ g$.
Mass of $X$ in $2.00 \ g$ of the compound $= \frac{46.78}{100} \times 2.00 \ g = 0.9356 \ g \approx 0.94 \ g$.
Mass of $Ag$ in $AgX = \text{Total mass of } AgX - \text{Mass of } X = 2.21 \ g - 0.94 \ g = 1.27 \ g$.
Number of moles of $Ag = \frac{1.27 \ g}{108 \ g/mol} \approx 0.01176 \ mol$.
Since the stoichiometry of $AgX$ is $1:1$,the number of moles of $X$ is also $0.01176 \ mol$.
Atomic mass of $X = \frac{\text{Mass of } X}{\text{Moles of } X} = \frac{0.94 \ g}{0.01176 \ mol} \approx 79.93 \ g/mol$.
This corresponds to the atomic mass of Bromine $(Br = 80)$.
Therefore,the halogen $X$ is $Br$.

Assume that a human body requires $2500 \, kcal$ of energy each day for metabolic activity and sucrose is the only source of energy,as per the equation $C_{12}H_{22}O_{11(s)} + 12 \, O_{2(g)} \longrightarrow 12 \, CO_{2(g)} + 11 \, H_2O_{(l)};$ $\Delta H = -5.6 \times 10^6 \, J$. (Fill in the blanks) $(a)$ The energy requirement of the human body per day is $.... \, kJ$. $(b)$ The mass of sucrose required to provide this energy is $........ \, g$ and the volume of $CO_2$ (at $STP$) produced is $......... \, litres.$

Solution

(A) Given $1 \, kcal = 4.184 \, kJ$. Therefore,$2500 \, kcal = 2500 \times 4.184 \, kJ = 10460 \, kJ$. The energy requirement is $10460 \, kJ$.
$(b)$ Molar mass of sucrose $(C_{12}H_{22}O_{11})$ = $(12 \times 12) + (22 \times 1) + (11 \times 16) = 342 \, g/mol$.
Energy released per mole of sucrose = $5.6 \times 10^6 \, J = 5600 \, kJ/mol$.
Moles of sucrose required = $\frac{10460 \, kJ}{5600 \, kJ/mol} \approx 1.8679 \, mol$.
Mass of sucrose = $1.8679 \, mol \times 342 \, g/mol \approx 638.82 \, g$.
From the equation,$1 \, mol$ of sucrose produces $12 \, mol$ of $CO_2$.
Moles of $CO_2$ produced = $1.8679 \times 12 = 22.4148 \, mol$.
Volume of $CO_2$ at $STP$ = $22.4148 \, mol \times 22.4 \, L/mol \approx 502.09 \, L$.

An athlete is given $100 \ g$ of glucose $(C_6H_{12}O_6)$ for energy. This is equivalent to $1800 \ kJ$ of energy. The $50 \ \%$ of this energy gained is utilized by the athlete for sports activities at the event. In order to avoid storage of energy,the weight of extra water he would need to perspire is $......... \ g$ (Nearest integer).
Assume that there is no other way of consuming stored energy. Given: The enthalpy of evaporation of water is $45 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$.
Molar mass of $C, H$ and $O$ are $12, 1$ and $16 \ g \ mol^{-1}$.
A
$180$
B
$360$
C
$90$
D
$45$

Solution

(B) Total energy provided by $100 \ g$ of glucose is $1800 \ kJ$.
Energy utilized for sports activities is $50 \%$ of $1800 \ kJ = 900 \ kJ$.
The remaining $900 \ kJ$ of energy must be dissipated to avoid storage,which is done through the evaporation of water.
Enthalpy of evaporation of water is $\Delta H_{vap} = 45 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$.
Number of moles of water required to dissipate $900 \ kJ$ is $n = \frac{900 \ kJ}{45 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}} = 20 \ mol$.
Molar mass of water $(H_2O)$ is $(2 \times 1) + 16 = 18 \ g \ mol^{-1}$.
Mass of water to be perspired $= n \times M = 20 \ mol \times 18 \ g \ mol^{-1} = 360 \ g$.

The volume of $HCl$,containing $73 \ g \ L^{-1}$,required to completely neutralize $NaOH$ obtained by reacting $0.69 \ g$ of metallic sodium with water,is $........ mL$. (Nearest Integer) (Given: molar masses of $Na, Cl, O, H$ are $23, 35.5, 16$ and $1 \ g \ mol^{-1}$ respectively)
A
$14$
B
$12$
C
$15$
D
$13$

Solution

(C) $1$. Calculate moles of $Na$: $n(Na) = \frac{0.69 \ g}{23 \ g \ mol^{-1}} = 0.03 \ mol$.

$0.05 \ cm$ thick coating of silver is deposited on a plate of $0.05 \ m^2$ area. The number of silver atoms deposited on the plate is . . . . . . $\times 10^{23}$. (Atomic mass of $Ag = 108$,density $d = 7.9 \ g \ cm^{-3}$)
A
$7$
B
$9$
C
$10$
D
$11$

Solution

(D) Volume of silver coating = $0.05 \ cm \times (0.05 \ m^2 \times 10^4 \ cm^2/m^2) = 0.05 \ cm \times 500 \ cm^2 = 25 \ cm^3$.
Mass of silver deposited = $\text{Volume} \times \text{Density} = 25 \ cm^3 \times 7.9 \ g \ cm^{-3} = 197.5 \ g$.
Moles of silver atoms = $\frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Atomic mass}} = \frac{197.5}{108} \approx 1.8287 \ \text{mol}$.
Number of silver atoms = $\text{Moles} \times N_A = 1.8287 \times 6.022 \times 10^{23} \approx 11.01 \times 10^{23}$.
Thus,the number of silver atoms is approximately $11 \times 10^{23}$.

$B, D, E$ only
B
$A, B, D$ only
C
$C, D, E$ only

Solution

(D) Dalton's atomic theory states that atoms are indivisible,so statement $B$ (Matter consists of divisible atoms) is incorrect.
Dalton's theory states that all atoms of a given element are identical in all respects,including mass,so statement $D$ (All the atoms of given element have different properties including mass) is incorrect.
Statements $A$,$C$,and $E$ are consistent with the original postulates of Dalton's atomic theory.
Therefore,the incorrect statements are $B$ and $D$.

Bleaching powder and bleach solution are produced on a large scale and used in several household products.
The effectiveness of bleach solution is often measured by iodometry.
$1.$ $25 \ mL$ of household bleach solution was mixed with $30 \ mL$ of $0.50 \ M \ KI$ and $10 \ mL$ of $4 \ N$ acetic acid. In the titration of the liberated iodine,$48 \ mL$ of $0.25 \ N \ Na_2S_2O_3$ was used to reach the end point. The molarity of the household bleach solution is
$(A)$ $0.48 \ M$ $(B)$ $0.96 \ M$ $(C)$ $0.24 \ M$ $(D)$ $0.024 \ M$
$2.$ Bleaching powder contains a salt of an oxoacid as one of its components. The anhydride of that oxoacid is
$(A)$ $Cl_2O$ $(B)$ $Cl_2O_7$ $(C)$ $ClO_2$ $(D)$ $Cl_2O_6$
Give the answer for question $1$ and $2.$
A
$(C, A)$
B
$(B, C)$
C
$(A, D)$
D
$(C, B)$

Solution

(C, A) $1.$ The reaction involved is $OCl^- + 2I^- + 2H^+ \rightarrow Cl^- + I_2 + H_2O$ and $I_2 + 2S_2O_3^{2-} \rightarrow 2I^- + S_4O_6^{2-}$.
From the stoichiometry,$1 \text{ mole of } OCl^- \equiv 1 \text{ mole of } I_2 \equiv 2 \text{ moles of } S_2O_3^{2-}$.
Millimoles of $Na_2S_2O_3 = 48 \ mL \times 0.25 \ N = 12 \text{ mmol}$.
Since $n$-factor for $S_2O_3^{2-}$ is $1$,millimoles of $S_2O_3^{2-} = 12 \text{ mmol}$.
Millimoles of $OCl^- = \frac{12}{2} = 6 \text{ mmol}$.
Molarity of bleach solution $= \frac{6 \text{ mmol}}{25 \ mL} = 0.24 \ M$.
$2.$ Bleaching powder is $CaOCl_2$,which is $Ca(OCl)Cl$.
The oxoacid is hypochlorous acid $(HOCl)$.
The anhydride of $HOCl$ is $Cl_2O$ $(2HOCl \rightarrow Cl_2O + H_2O)$.

$20 \ mL$ of $2 \ M$ $NaOH$ solution is added to $400 \ mL$ of $0.5 \ M$ $NaOH$ solution. The final concentration of the solution is $.......... \times 10^{-2} \ M$. $(Nearest \ integer)$.
A
$57$
B
$58$
C
$59$
D

Solution

(A) The formula for the final concentration $(M_F)$ of a mixture is $M_F = \frac{M_1 V_1 + M_2 V_2}{V_1 + V_2}$.
Given: $M_1 = 2 \ M$,$V_1 = 20 \ mL$,$M_2 = 0.5 \ M$,$V_2 = 400 \ mL$.
Substituting the values: $M_F = \frac{2 \times 20 + 0.5 \times 400}{20 + 400} = \frac{40 + 200}{420} = \frac{240}{420} \approx 0.5714 \ M$.
Converting to the required format: $0.5714 \ M = 57.14 \times 10^{-2} \ M$.
Rounding to the nearest integer,we get $57 \times 10^{-2} \ M$.

$10 \ mL$ of $2 \ M$ $NaOH$ solution is added to $20 \ mL$ of $1 \ M$ $HCl$ solution kept in a beaker. Now,$10 \ mL$ of this mixture is poured into a volumetric flask of $100 \ mL$ containing $2 \ moles$ of $HCl$ and made the volume up to the mark with distilled water. The solution in this flask is $:$
A
$0.2 \ M$ $NaCl$ solution
B
$20 \ M$ $HCl$ solution
C
$10 \ M$ $HCl$ solution
D
Neutral solution

Solution

(B) Step $1$: Reaction between $NaOH$ and $HCl$ in the beaker:
$NaOH + HCl \rightarrow NaCl + H_2O$
Initial moles of $NaOH = 2 \ M \times 0.01 \ L = 0.02 \ mol$.
Initial moles of $HCl = 1 \ M \times 0.02 \ L = 0.02 \ mol$.
Since the moles are equal,the resulting solution is neutral ($NaCl$ solution).
Step $2$: $10 \ mL$ of this neutral solution is added to a flask containing $2 \ moles$ of $HCl$.
The total volume of the flask is made up to $100 \ mL$ $(0.1 \ L)$.
Molarity of $HCl = \frac{\text{moles of } HCl}{\text{Volume of solution in } L} = \frac{2 \ mol}{0.1 \ L} = 20 \ M$.

(B) . $5.6 \ L$ of $SO_{2(g)}$ at $STP$ = $(5.6 / 22.4) \ mol = 0.25 \ mol$. Mass = $0.25 \times 64 \ g = 16 \ g$ $(IV)$.
$B$. $1.2 \times 10^{24}$ atoms of oxygen. If we assume $O_2$ molecule,$1.2 \times 10^{24} / 6.022 \times 10^{23} \approx 2 \ mol$ of $O$ atoms. Mass = $2 \times 16 \ g = 32 \ g$ $(I)$.
$C$. $33.6 \ L$ of $CO_{2(g)}$ at $STP$ = $(33.6 / 22.4) \ mol = 1.5 \ mol$. Mass = $1.5 \times 44 \ g = 66 \ g$ $(II)$.
$D$. $1.5 \ g$-molecule of $N_2$ = $1.5 \ mol$ of $N_2$. Mass = $1.5 \times 28 \ g = 42 \ g$ $(III)$.

Identify the compound formed from elements $X, Y, Z$ having oxidation states $+2, +5, -2$ respectively.
A
$X(Y_4Z)$
B
$X_3(YZ_4)_2$
C
$X_3(YZ_2)_2$
D

Solution

(B) The oxidation states are $X = +2$,$Y = +5$,and $Z = -2$.
For a neutral compound,the sum of oxidation states must be zero.
Checking option $B$: $X_3(YZ_4)_2$.
Total charge $= 3 \times (+2) + 2 \times (+5 + 4 \times (-2)) = 6 + 2 \times (5 - 8) = 6 + 2 \times (-3) = 6 - 6 = 0$.
Since the total charge is zero,the correct formula is $X_3(YZ_4)_2$.

Solution

(D) In Stock notation,the oxidation state of the central metal atom is represented by Roman numerals in parentheses.
For $SnCl_4$,the oxidation state of $Sn$ is $+4$,so it is correctly represented as $Sn(IV)Cl_4$.
For $FeCl_3$,the oxidation state of $Fe$ is $+3$,so it should be $Fe(III)Cl_3$.
For $MnO_2$,the oxidation state of $Mn$ is $+4$,so it should be $Mn(IV)O_2$.
For $AuCl_3$,the oxidation state of $Au$ is $+3$,so it should be $Au(III)Cl_3$.

Which of the following species has the highest mass?
A
$1 \ g$ atom of carbon
B
$3.011 \times 10^{23}$ atoms of oxygen
C
$10 \ mL$ of water at room temperature
D
$\frac{1}{2}$ mole of $CH_4$

Solution

(A) Mass of $1 \ g$ atom of carbon $= 12 \ g$.
Mass of $3.011 \times 10^{23}$ atoms of oxygen $= 0.5 \ mol \times 16 \ g/mol = 8 \ g$.
Mass of $10 \ mL$ of water $= 10 \ g$ (since density $\approx 1 \ g/mL$).
Mass of $\frac{1}{2} \ mol$ of $CH_4 = 0.5 \ mol \times 16 \ g/mol = 8 \ g$.
Comparing the masses: $12 \ g > 10 \ g > 8 \ g$.
Therefore,$1 \ g$ atom of carbon has the highest mass.

A
$20$
B
$10$
C
$40$
D
$24.89$

Solution

(A) The density of water is approximately $1 \ g/cm^3$. Thus,$20 \ cm^3$ of water has a mass of $20 \ g$.
The molar mass of water $(H_2O)$ is $18 \ g/mol$.
The number of moles of water is $n = \frac{20 \ g}{18 \ g/mol} = 1.11 \ mol$.
The number of molecules is $1.11 \times 6.022 \times 10^{23} \approx 6.69 \times 10^{23}$ molecules.
However,in liquid water,the molecules are closely packed. The actual volume occupied by the molecules themselves is negligible compared to the total volume of the liquid because the intermolecular space is very small. For standard calculations in this context,the volume of the molecules is considered to be the volume of the liquid itself,which is $20 \ cm^3$.

B
$10.25 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$
C
$13.80 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$
D
$17.20 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$

Solution

(D) The enthalpy of solution $(\Delta_{\text{soln}} H)$ is given by the sum of the lattice enthalpy $(\Delta_{L} H)$ and the hydration enthalpy $(\Delta_{\text{hyd}} H)$.
$\Delta_{\text{soln}} H = \Delta_{L} H + \Delta_{\text{hyd}} H$
Given: $\Delta_{L} H = 699 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$ and $\Delta_{\text{hyd}} H = -681.8 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$.
Substituting the values:
$\Delta_{\text{soln}} H = 699 \ kJ \ mol^{-1} + (-681.8 \ kJ \ mol^{-1})$
$\Delta_{\text{soln}} H = 17.2 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$.

A
$2$
B
$3$
C

Solution

(A) The reaction of iron sulphide with oxygen is: $2FeS + 3O_2 \rightarrow 2FeO + 2SO_2$ $(A)$.
When $SO_2$ $(A)$ is dissolved in water,it forms sulphurous acid: $SO_2 + H_2O \rightarrow H_2SO_3$.
Sulphurous acid $(H_2SO_3)$ is a diprotic acid,meaning it has two replaceable hydrogen atoms.
Therefore,the basicity of $H_2SO_3$ is $2$.

B
$0.1, 0.02, 0.1$
C
$0.2, 0.01, 0.1$
D
$0.1, 0.01, 0.2$

Solution

(A) $I$. Moles of $NaOH = \text{Molarity} \times \text{Volume (L)} = 0.2 \times 0.5 = 0.1 \ mol$.
$II$. For $H_2SO_4$,$n$-factor $= 2$. Molarity $= \frac{\text{Normality}}{n-\text{factor}} = \frac{0.1}{2} = 0.05 \ M$.
Moles of $H_2SO_4 = 0.05 \times 0.2 = 0.01 \ mol$.
$III$. Molar mass of urea $(NH_2CONH_2) = 60 \ g/mol$.
Moles of urea $= \frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}} = \frac{6}{60} = 0.1 \ mol$.
Thus,the number of moles are $0.1, 0.01, 0.1$. Hence,option $(A)$ is correct.

A
$1.8$
B
$6.4$
C
$3.6$
D
$5.4$

Solution

(C) The pressure $P$ of a gas mixture is given by $P = \frac{nRT}{V}$. Since $R, T,$ and $V$ are constant,$P \propto n_{total}$.
In the first container,the total moles $n_1 = n_{H_2} + n_{He} + n_{O_2} = \frac{16}{2} + \frac{16}{4} + \frac{16}{32} = 8 + 4 + 0.5 = 12.5 \ mol$.
Given $P_1 = 10 \ atm$,so $10 \propto 12.5$.
In the second container,the total moles $n_2 = n_{He} + n_{O_2} = \frac{16}{4} + \frac{16}{32} = 4 + 0.5 = 4.5 \ mol$.
Therefore,the new pressure $P_2 = \frac{n_2}{n_1} \times P_1 = \frac{4.5}{12.5} \times 10 = 0.36 \times 10 = 3.6 \ atm$.

At $T(K)$,a gaseous mixture contains $H_2$ and $O_2$. The total pressure of the mixture is $2 \ bar$. The partial pressure of $H_2$ is $1.778 \ bar$. What is the weight $(w/w)$ percentage of $H_2$ in the mixture?
A
$66.67$
B
$33.33$
C
$80$
D
$20$

Solution

(B) Given: Total pressure $P_{total} = 2 \ bar$,Partial pressure of $H_2$ $(P_{H_2})$ = $1.778 \ bar$.
Partial pressure of $O_2$ $(P_{O_2})$ = $P_{total} - P_{H_2} = 2 - 1.778 = 0.222 \ bar$.
According to Dalton's Law,the mole fraction $(x)$ is proportional to the partial pressure: $x_{H_2} = \frac{P_{H_2}}{P_{total}} = \frac{1.778}{2} = 0.889$ and $x_{O_2} = \frac{P_{O_2}}{P_{total}} = \frac{0.222}{2} = 0.111$.
Assuming $1 \ mole$ of the mixture,moles of $H_2$ $(n_{H_2})$ = $0.889 \ mol$ and moles of $O_2$ $(n_{O_2})$ = $0.111 \ mol$.
Mass of $H_2$ = $n_{H_2} \times M_{H_2} = 0.889 \times 2 = 1.778 \ g$.
Mass of $O_2$ = $n_{O_2} \times M_{O_2} = 0.111 \times 32 = 3.552 \ g$.
Total mass = $1.778 + 3.552 = 5.33 \ g$.
Weight percentage of $H_2$ = $(\frac{1.778}{5.33}) \times 100 \approx 33.33 \%$.

A
$555$
B
$500$
C
$50$
D

Solution

(B) Step $1$: Calculate the concentration of the $HCl$ solution using the titration formula $N_1 V_1 = N_2 V_2$.
Given: $N_1 = 0.1 \ N$ $(NaOH)$,$V_1 = 25 \ mL$,$V_2 = 12.5 \ mL$ $(HCl)$.
$0.1 \times 25 = N_2 \times 12.5 \implies N_2 = \frac{2.5}{12.5} = 0.2 \ N$.
Step $2$: Calculate the volume of water to be added for dilution using $N_1 V_1 = N_2 V_2$.
Initial state: $N_1 = 0.2 \ N$,$V_1 = 500 \ mL$.
Final state: $N_2 = 0.1 \ N$,$V_2 = ?$.
$0.2 \times 500 = 0.1 \times V_2 \implies V_2 = 1000 \ mL$.
Step $3$: Calculate the volume of water to be added.
Volume of water = $V_2 - V_1 = 1000 \ mL - 500 \ mL = 500 \ mL$.

$3$. Both $NaHCO_3$ and $Ca(HCO_3)_2$ are soluble in water.

Calculate the number of moles of $NaOH$ required to completely neutralize $100 \ g$ of $118\%$ oleum.
A
$2.4$
B
$1.2$
C
$4.8$
D
$8.4$

Solution

(A) The percent labeling of oleum is defined as $100 + x$,where $x$ is the mass of water required to convert all $SO_3$ in $100 \ g$ of oleum into $H_2SO_4$.
For $118\%$ oleum,$x = 18 \ g$ of $H_2O$.
The reaction is $SO_3 + H_2O \rightarrow H_2SO_4$.
Since $18 \ g$ of $H_2O$ is $1 \ mole$,it reacts with $1 \ mole$ of $SO_3$ $(80 \ g)$.
Thus,in $100 \ g$ of oleum,there is $80 \ g$ of $SO_3$ and $20 \ g$ of $H_2SO_4$.
Moles of $SO_3 = \frac{80 \ g}{80 \ g/mol} = 1 \ mol$.
Moles of $H_2SO_4 = \frac{20 \ g}{98 \ g/mol} \approx 0.204 \ mol$.
Neutralization reactions are:
$SO_3 + 2NaOH \rightarrow Na_2SO_4 + H_2O$ (requires $2 \ mol$ $NaOH$ per $mol$ $SO_3$)
$H_2SO_4 + 2NaOH \rightarrow Na_2SO_4 + 2H_2O$ (requires $2 \ mol$ $NaOH$ per $mol$ $H_2SO_4$)
Total $NaOH$ moles $= 2(1) + 2(0.204) = 2 + 0.408 = 2.408 \ mol \approx 2.4 \ mol$.

A
$82$

Solution

(B) The reaction for neutralization is:
$2NaOH + H_2SO_4 \longrightarrow Na_2SO_4 + 2H_2O$
Since $Na_2SO_4$ is neutral,only $NaOH$ reacts with $H_2SO_4$.
Number of millimoles of $H_2SO_4 = 100 \ mL \times 0.5 \ M = 50 \ mmol$.
From the stoichiometry,$1 \ mol$ of $H_2SO_4$ reacts with $2 \ mol$ of $NaOH$.
Therefore,moles of $NaOH = 2 \times 50 \ mmol = 100 \ mmol = 0.1 \ mol$.
Mass of $NaOH = 0.1 \ mol \times 40 \ g/mol = 4 \ g$.
Mass of $Na_2SO_4 = \text{Total mass} - \text{Mass of } NaOH = 100 \ g - 4 \ g = 96 \ g$.

Molarity of a $50 \ mL$ $H_2SO_4$ solution is $10.0 \ M$. If the density of the solution is $1.4 \ g/cc$,calculate its molality.
A
$7.14$
B
$23.8$
C
$10$
D
$0.5$

Solution

(B) Given,molarity of $H_2SO_4$ solution $= 10.0 \ M$.
Volume $(V) = 50 \ mL$.
Density of solution $(d) = 1.4 \ g/cc$.
Molarity $10 \ M$ means $10 \ moles$ of $H_2SO_4$ are present in $1000 \ mL$ of solution.
Molar mass of $H_2SO_4$ $(M_B) = 98 \ g/mol$.
Mass of $H_2SO_4$ in $1000 \ mL = 10 \ mol \times 98 \ g/mol = 980 \ g$.
Mass of $H_2SO_4$ in $50 \ mL = (980 \ g / 1000 \ mL) \times 50 \ mL = 49 \ g$.
Mass of solution $= d \times V = 1.4 \ g/cc \times 50 \ mL = 70 \ g$.
Mass of solvent $(w_A) = \text{Mass of solution} - \text{Mass of solute} = 70 \ g - 49 \ g = 21 \ g$.
Molality $(m) = \frac{\text{moles of solute}}{\text{mass of solvent in kg}} = \frac{49 \ g / 98 \ g/mol}{21 \ g / 1000 \ g/kg} = 0.5 \ mol \times (1000 / 21) \ kg^{-1} \approx 23.8 \ m$.

MediumMCQ
Equal weights of $CH_{4}$ and $H_{2}$ are mixed in an empty container at $25^{\circ} C$. The fraction of the total pressure exerted by $H_{2}$ is
A
$1 / 9$
B
$1 / 2$
C
$8 / 9$
D
$16 / 17$

Solution

(C) Let the weight of each gas be $x \ g$.
Number of moles of $CH_{4} = \frac{x}{16} \ mol$.
Number of moles of $H_{2} = \frac{x}{2} \ mol$.
Total moles = $\frac{x}{16} + \frac{x}{2} = \frac{x + 8x}{16} = \frac{9x}{16} \ mol$.
The mole fraction of $H_{2}$ is $X_{H_{2}} = \frac{n_{H_{2}}}{n_{total}} = \frac{x/2}{9x/16} = \frac{x}{2} \times \frac{16}{9x} = \frac{8}{9}$.
According to Dalton's Law,the partial pressure is proportional to the mole fraction.
Therefore,the fraction of total pressure exerted by $H_{2} = \frac{8}{9}$.

DifficultMCQ
$A + 2B \rightarrow AB_{2}$. $36.0 \ g$ of '$A$' (Molar mass: $60 \ g \ mol^{-1}$) and $56.0 \ g$ of '$B$' (Molar mass: $80 \ g \ mol^{-1}$) are allowed to react. Which of the following statements are correct?
$(A)$ '$A$' is the limiting reagent
$(B)$ $77.0 \ g$ of $AB_{2}$ is formed
$(C)$ Molar mass of $AB_{2}$ is $220 \ g \ mol^{-1}$
$(D)$ $15.0 \ g$ of '$A$' is left unreacted after the completion of reaction.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
A
$C$ and $D$ only
B
$A$ and $C$ only
C
$B$ and $D$ only
D
$A$ and $B$ only

Solution

(A) $1$. Calculate initial moles:
$n_A = \frac{36.0 \ g}{60 \ g \ mol^{-1}} = 0.6 \ mol$
$n_B = \frac{56.0 \ g}{80 \ g \ mol^{-1}} = 0.7 \ mol$
$2$. Determine limiting reagent:
According to the reaction $A + 2B \rightarrow AB_{2}$,$1 \ mol$ of $A$ requires $2 \ mol$ of $B$.
For $0.6 \ mol$ of $A$,required $B = 0.6 \times 2 = 1.2 \ mol$.
Since we have only $0.7 \ mol$ of $B$,'$B$' is the limiting reagent.
Statement $(A)$ is incorrect.
$3$. Calculate product formed:
$0.7 \ mol$ of $B$ will produce $\frac{0.7}{2} = 0.35 \ mol$ of $AB_{2}$.
Molar mass of $AB_{2} = 60 + (2 \times 80) = 220 \ g \ mol^{-1}$.
Mass of $AB_{2} = 0.35 \ mol \times 220 \ g \ mol^{-1} = 77.0 \ g$.
Statement $(B)$ and $(C)$ are correct.
$4$. Calculate unreacted '$A$':
$B$ is limiting,so $0.7 \ mol$ of $B$ reacts with $\frac{0.7}{2} = 0.35 \ mol$ of $A$.
Remaining moles of $A = 0.6 - 0.35 = 0.25 \ mol$.
Mass of remaining $A = 0.25 \ mol \times 60 \ g \ mol^{-1} = 15.0 \ g$.
Statement $(D)$ is correct.
Thus,statements $(B)$,$(C)$,and $(D)$ are correct. Based on the options provided,$(C)$ and $(D)$ are correct.
