100 mL of PH3 when decomposed produces phosphorus and hydrogen. The change in volume is:

Explanation

(a)  2PH3(g) 2P(s) + 3H2(g)

       100             0            0         Before dissociation

         0               -            150     After dissociation

More explanation below: 

As the volume occupied by gases only depends on number of moles of gases, the answer is related to number of moles of gases produced. 

Since, no temperature and pressure is given, one can assume NTP. 

At NTP, the reaction produces Phosphorous(Solid) and Hydrogen(gas). Looking at the balanced equation above, 2 moles of PH3 gas would give 3 moles of H2 gas. 

Therefore, there is 50% increase in number of gaseous molecules after reaction. (2 to 3 moles)

As the volume depends on number of moles, the increased volume is also 50% more than original volume. 

Increase in volume = Original Volume * 50 % = 100 ml * 50% = 50ml

New Volume = Original Volume + Increase in Volume = (100 + 50) ml = 150 ml 

The molality of 1M solution of NaCl ( specific gravity 1.0585 g/mL ) is:

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

(b) Mass of solvent = mass of solution - mass of NaCl

= 1.0585 x 1000 - 58.5

= 1058.5 - 58.5 = 1000g =1kg

m = mole of NaCl / mass of solvent in kg = 1/1 = 1

The total molarity of all the ions containing 0.1 M of CuSO4 and o.1M of Al2(SO4)3 is:

Explanation

(b)  Mole of Cu2+ = 0.1x1 = 0.1

Mole of SO42-=0.1x1=0.1

Mole of Al3+ = 0.1x2=0.2

Mole of SO42- = 0.1x3 = 0.3

Total moles of  ions present in1 litre =0.7

Molarity of all ions = 0.7M

A 0.1097 gm sample of As2O3 require 26.10 ml of KMnO4 solution for its titration. The molarity of KMnO4 solution is

Explanation

In this redox titration, KMnO4 oxidizes As2O3 to H3AsO4. The balanced equation is: 2KMnO4 + 5As2O3 + 3H2SO4 → 2MnSO4 + 5H3AsO4 + K2SO4. Given: Mass of As2O3 = 0.1097 g, Volume of KMnO4 = 26.10 ml. Using the mole ratio from the balanced equation, we can calculate the molarity of KMnO4 as 0.018 M.

A sample of CaCO3 is 50% pure. On heating 1.12 litres of CO2 (at NTP) is obtained. Residues left (assuming non-volatile impurity) is  , (Ca = 40, C= 12, O=16)

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

Solution approach 

CaCO3 → CaO + CO2 (decomposition reaction for 50% pure part on heating)

The impure part doesn't react as per the question, it remains as it is. So, total residue after heating will be 

1) mass of the impure part + mass of CaO (left from pure part) 

 since vol of CO2         

 suggest that moles are 1.12/22.4 = 0.05 moles

so wt of CaCO3 = 0.05 .100 = 5 gram. since 50 % is impure , so 5 gram is impure 

You will get mass of impure part = 5g  & mass of CaO = 2.8 

So total = 5 + 2.8 = 7.8g

Explanation

3BaCl2 + 2Na3PO4 Ba3(PO4)+6NaCl

0.5mole 0.2 mole

Na3PO4 is the limiting reagent

2 Mole Na3PO4  2 Mole Ba3(PO4)+6NaCl

0.2 Mole  Na3PO4 0.1 Mole Ba3(PO4)2

Rearrange the following (I to IV) in the order of increasing masses and choose answer from (1), (2), (3) and (4) (Atomic mass : N=14, O=16 Cu = 63)

I. 1 molecule of oxygen

II. 1 atom of nitrogen

III. 1 x 10-10g molecular weight of oxygen

IV. 1 x 10-10g weight of copper

Explanation

1 molecule of oxygen = 32 a.m.u=32 x 1.66x 10-24g

1 atom of nitrogen =14 a.m.u=14 x 1.66x 10-24g

1 x 10-10 g molecular weight of oxygen =  avg no of molecules of oxygen is 32 gram.so wt of given no is 

 32 x 10-14g

1 x 10-10g atomic weight of copper = 63.5 x 10-14g

So, order is II < I <III <IV

The ratio of number of atoms in 2.2g CO2 and 1.7g NH3 is

How many moles of FeC2O4 are required to reduce one mole of KMnO4 in acidic medium?

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

 

3KMnO4+5FeC2O4+24H+5Fe3++10CO2+3Mn2++3K++12H2O\

  1. Ferrous is oxidized to ferric state
  2. Carbon and hydrogen are converted to CO2 and H2O
  3. All the metallic ions are converted to sulphates
  4. Write the equation keeping in mind that the valency of of iron in ferric state is 3, that of K and Mn is one and two respectively as
  5. FeC2O4 + KMnO4 + H2SO4 = K2SO4 + MnSO4 + Fe(SO4)3 + H2O + CO2
  6. FeC2O4 is oxidized and KMnO4 is reduced. Hence the main reaction is
  7. Fe2+ → Fe3+ (removal of 1 electron)

Mn7+ → Mn 2+ (addition of 5 electrons)

In order to balance multiply (Fe2+ → Fe3+) by 5

Now you know that there should be 5 FeC2O4 molecules. Write that and balance the rest.
