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\(^3\)

Detailed Solution

Equation of reaction : 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
Volume of base, V\(_B\) = ?
Recall:
\(\frac{C_A V_A}{C_B V_B} = \frac{n_A}{n_B}\) ... (1)
N.B: From the equation,
\(\frac{n_A}{n_B} = \frac{1}{2}\)

From (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

Detailed Solution

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

Argon is a monoatomic noble gas with the least number of atoms.

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

Detailed Solution

Given Data:
Time (T) = 2hrs 30mins
where 2hrs =120mins
2hrs & 30mins = (120 + 30)mins = 150mins
150mins to Seconds = 150 x60 = 9,000s
Q = I x T
2 x 9,000 =18,000
where mg has valency of +2
So 2 x 96500 will discharge 24g of mg
and 18,000 will discharge xg of mg
2 x 96500 =24
18,000 =x
x = \(\frac{24 \times 18,000}{2 x 96500}\)
≈ 2.00g
