Hydrogen sulphide (H_(2)S) contains 94.11 % sulphur. Sulphur dioxide (SO_(2)) contains 50 % oxygen and water (H_(2)O) contains 11.11 % hydrogen. Shpw that the results are in agreement with the law of reciprocal proportions.

Answer»

Solution :Let US fix `1g` of sulphur (S) as the fixed WEIGHT
In hydrogen sulphide `(H_(2)S)`
Weight of sulphur `= 94.11 g`
Weight of hydrogen `=100 - 94.11 =5.89 g`
`94.11g` of sulphur have combined have compound with hydrogen `= 5.89 g`
`1.0 g` sulphur has combined with hydrogen `= (5.89)/(94.11)g`
In sulphur dioxide `(SO_(2))`
`50.0 g` of sulphur have combined with OXYGEN `= 50.0 g`
`1.0 g` of sulphur has combined with oxygen `= 1.0 g`
Thus, the ratios by weight of hydrogen and oxygen combining with a fixed weight of sulphur in the two compounds is
or `(5.89)/(94.11):1or5.89:94:11` (This ratio is not the same)
In water `(H_(2)O)`
Weight of hydrogen `= 11.11 g`
Weight of oxygen `= 100-11.11 = 88.89 g`
`11.11 : 88.89`
Let us compare the ratios (i) and (II). There are related to each other as :
`(5.89)/(94.11):(11.11)/(88.89)or0.0625:0.1336or1:2`
Since these ratios are the simple whole number multiples of each other, the LAW of Reciprocal Proportion is illustrated.

Hydrogen peroxide solution (20 mL) reacts quantitatively with a solution of KMnO_(4) (20 mL) acidified with dilute H_(2)SO_(4). The same volume of KMnO_(4) solution is just decolurised by 10 mL of MnSO_(4) in neutral medium simultaneously forming a dark brown precipitate of hydrated MnO_(2) . The brown precipitate is dissolved in 10 mL of 0.2 M sodium oxalate under boiling conditions in the presence of dilute H_(2)SO_(4) . Write the balanced equations involved in the reactios and calculate the molarity of H_(2)O_(2).

Answer»

Solution :Step 1. To write balanced equations for the reactions involved.
(i) In acidic MEDIUM, `MnO_(4)^(-) ` oxidises `H_(2)O_(2)` to `O_(2)`
`{:(MnO_(4)^(-)+8H^(+)+ 5e^(-) to Mn^(2+) + 4H_(2)O"]"xx2),(""H_(2)O_(2) to O_(2) + 2H^(+) + 2e^(-) "]"XX5):}/(2MnO_(4)^(-) + 5H_(2)O_(2) + 6H^(+) to 2Mn^(2+) + 5O_(2)+ 8H_(2)O)""...(i)`
(ii) In neutral medium , `MnO_(4)^(-)` oxidises `Mn^(2+) ` to `MnO_(2)` .
`{:(MnO_(4)^(-)+ 2H_(2)O + 3e^(-) to MnO_(2)+ 4OH^(-)"]"xx2),(""Mn^(2+)+ 4OH^(-) to MnO_(2) + 2H_(2)O + 2e^(-)"]"xx3):}/(2MnO_(4)^(-)+3Mn^(2+) + 4OH^(-) to 5 MnO_(2) + 2H_(2)O)""...(ii)`
(iii) In acidic medium. `MnO_(2)` oxidises sodium oxalate to `CO_(2)`
`{:(MnO_(2)+ 4H^(+) + 2e^(-) to Mn^(2+) + 2H_(2)O),(""C_(2)O_(4)^(2-) to 2CO_(2) + 2e^(-)):}/(MnO_(2) + C_(2)O_(4)^(2-) + 4H^(+) to Mn^(2+) + 2CO_(2) + 2H_(2)O) `
or `5MnO_(2) + 5C_(2)O_(4)^(2-) + 20 H^(+) to 5Mn^(2+) + 10 CO_(2) + 10 H_(2)O""...(iii)`
From the above three balanced equations, it follows that
`5C_(2)O_(4)^(2-) -=2MnO_(4)^(-) -=5H_(2)O_(2)""...(iv)`
Step 2. To determine the number of moles of `C_(2)O_(4)^(2-)` present in 10 mL of 0.2 M sodium oxalate.
No. of moles of sodium oxalate =Molarity `xx` volume in litres
`=0.2 xx(10)/(1000)`
`=2xx10^(-3)` mole
Step 3. To calculate the molarity of `H_(2)O_(2)`
From eq. (iv), it follows that `5C_(2)O_(4)^(2-)-= 5H_(2)O_(2)`
or `2xx10^(-3)` mole of `C_(2)O_(4)^(2-) -= 2xx10^(-3)` mole of `H_(2)O_(2)`
Now `2xx10^(-3) ` mole of `H_(2)O_(2)` is present in 10 mL of `H_(2)O_(2)`
`therefore ` Molarity of `H_(2)O_(2)=(2xx10^(-3))/(10)xx1000=0.2` M

`[Fe(CN_6)]^(3-) + 1/2 H_2O_2 + OH^(-) to [Fe(CN)_6]^(4-) + H_2O + 1/2O_2`

Hydrogen peroxide can be prepared by action of dil H_(2)SO_(4) or H_(3)PO_(4) on barium peroxide or by bubbling CO_(2) through a thin paste of barium peroxide. On industrial scale, it may be prepared by hydrolysis of peroxy disulphuric acid obtained by electrolsis of50%""H_(2)SO_(4) or equimolar mixture of sulphuric acid and ammonium sulphate. The strength ofH_(2)O_(2) can be expressed in various methods say normality, molarity, strength and volume strength. Volume strength means the volume of O_(2) produced by decomposition of 1 ml of H_(2)O_(2). H_(2)O_(2) acts as an oxidising as well as a reducing agent both in acidic and basic media. Hydrolysis of one mole of peroxodisuphuric acid produces

Answer»

TWO MOLES of sulphuric acid
Two moles of peroxomonosulphuric acid
ONE MOLE of sulphuric acid, one mole of peroxomonosulphuphuric acid
One mole of sulphuric acid one mole of peroxomonosulphuphuric and one mole of hydrogen peroxide.

`CO_(2)ltH_(2)O_(2)ltH_(2)O`
`H_(2)OltH_(2)O_(2)ltCO_(2)`
`H_(2)OltH_(2)O_(2)gtCO_(2)`
`H_(2)O_(2)gtCO_(2)gtH_(2)O`

Answer :B

Hydrogen peroxide can be preapared bythe action of dil. H_(2)SO_(4) or H_(3)PO_(4) on barium peroxide or by bubbling peroxide . On an industrial scale, it can be prepared by hydrolysis of peroxodisulphuric acid obtained by electrolysis of 50% H_(2)SO_(4) or an equimolar mixture of H_(2)SO_(4) and ammonium sulphate . The strength of H_(2)O_(2) solution can be expressed in a number of ways namely normality , molarity , percentage strength and volume strength . Volume strength refers to the volume of O_(2) produced at N.T.P. by decomposition of 1 mL of H_(2)O_(2) solution. H_(2)O_(2) acts as an oxidising as well as reducing agent both in acidic and basic media. Which of the following substances on treatment with H_(2)O_(2) gives MnO_(2)
