What volume of CO2 at s.t.p would be obtained by reacting trioxocarbonate (IV) with excess acid?

(G.M.V at s.t.p = 22.4 dm3)
A
2.240 cm 3
B
22.40 cm 3
C
224.0 cm 3
D
2240 cm 3
correct option: b
Na2CO3 + 2HCC → 2NaII + H2O
1000 cm3 IM Na2CO3 contains 22400 cm3
10cm3 IM Na2CO3 will contain (10) / (100) x 224
=224 cm3
10 cm3 0.1 Na2CO3 will contain (o.1 x 224) / (1) = 22.4 cm3

If a current of 1.5 A is passed for 4.00 hours through a molten tin salt and 13.3g of tin is deposited, what is the oxidation state of the metal in the salt?

(Sn = 118.7, F = 96500 C mol-1)
A
1
B
2
C
3
D
4
correct option: b
Q = It = 1.5 x 4 x 60 x 60
13.3 g = 216000 C
118.7 g = (216000 x118.7) / (13.3) = 1927759.4 C
06500 C - 1 mole
1927759.4 C = (1927759.4) / (96500) = 1.998 = 2

MnO-4 + 8H+ + ne → Mn++ + 4H2O. Which is the value of n in the reaction above?
A
2
B
3
C
4
D
5
correct option: d
MnO-4 + 8H+ + ne- → Mn++ + 4H2O

Since Mn has 7 electrons on one side and 2 electrons on the other side. The value of ne- is 5.

A
a redox reaction H2S is the oxidant and SO2 is the reductant
B
a redox reaction in which SO2 is the oxidant and H2S is the reductant
C
not a redox reaction because there is no oxidant in reaction equation
D

1.1 g of CaCI2 dissolved in 50 cm3 of water caused a rise in temperature of3.4°C. The heat of reaction, ∆H for CaCI2 in kj per mole is?

(Ca = 40, CI = 35.5, specific heat of water is 4.18 jk-1
A
-71.1
B
-4.18
C
+71.1
D
+111.0
correct option: a
Q = mct = (50 x 4.18 x 3.4) / (1000)
= 0.71606 kj
1.1 g of call2 contains
(1.1) / (111) = 0.01 moles of call2
If 0.01 liberates 0.7106 RS
1 will liberate (0.7106 x 1) / (0.01)
Endothermic = 71.06 = -71.1
