In the reaction between sodium hydroxide and tetraoxosulphate (VI) solutions, what volume of 0.5 molar sodium hydroxide would exactly neutralize 10cm\(^3\) of 1.25 molar tetraoxosulphate (vi) acid?

A

25cm\(^3\)

B

10cm\(^3\)

C

20cm\(^3\)

D

50cm\(^3\)

correct option: d

Equation of the reaction is give as: 2NaOH + H\(_2\)SO\(_4\) → Na\(_2\)SO\(_4\) + 2H\(_2\)O
Concentration of a base, CB = 0.5M
Volume of acid, V\(_A\) = 10cm\(^3\)
Concentration of an acid, C\(_A\) = 1.25M
The volume of the base, V\(_B\) = ?

Recall that,

\(\frac{C_A V_A}{C_B V_B} = \frac{n_A}{n_B}\) ... (1)

From the equation is as follows:

\(\frac{n_A}{n_B} = \frac{1}{2}\)

From equation (1),

\(\frac{1.25 \times 10}{0.5 \times V_B} = \frac{1}{2}\)

\(\frac{12.5}{0.5V_B} = \frac{1}{2}\)

25 = 0.5V\(_B\)
VB = 50.0 cm\(^3\)

Which of the following gases contains the least number of atoms at s.t.p?

A

1 mole of butane

B

4 moles of chlorine

C

3 moles of ozone

D

7 moles of argon

correct option: a

Butane has the least number of atoms, thus:

4 moles of chlorine gas = 4Cl\(_2\) = 8 atoms of chlorine
3 moles of ozone = 3O\(_3\) = 9 atoms of oxygen
1 mole of butane = C\(_4\)H\(_{10}\)
7 mole of argon = 7Ar = 7 atoms of argon

What mass of magnesium would be obtained by passing a current of 2 amperes for 2 hours 30 mins, through molten magnesium chloride?
[1 faraday = 96500C, Mg = 24]

A
1.12g
B
4.48g
C
1.80g
D
2.00g
correct option: c

Given:

Current (I) = 2A; Time (t) = 2 hours = 7200 secs

Q = It

= 2 x 7200 = 14400C

1 F = 96500C

x = 14400C

x = \(\frac{14400}{96500}\)

= 0.15F

Mg\(^{2+}\) + 2e\(^-\) \(\to\) Mg

2F \(\to\) 24g

0.15F \(\to\) x

2x = 24 x 0.15

x = \(\frac{24 \times 0.15}{2}\)

= 1.8g
