A mineral(X) concentratedby froth floatation process was roasted in a reverberatory furance go give two compojnd (A) and (B) whichwere later partially oxidizes, B was more easily oxidised than A) to give compounds (C ) and (D) respectively. The roasted ore was mixed with silica and some powdered coke and later smalted when two layers of moltenmass was obtained-the upper layer was that of salg (E) while the lower layer is called matte (F). The molten mattel was then transferred to a bessemer converter and a blastof hot air and sand waspassed through it when the metal (Y) was obtained.Identify the mineral (X), the meta (Y) and the compounds (A-F)

Answer»

Solution :(i) Sincemineral (X) is concentratedby frothfloatationprocess, it mustbeasulphidemineral
(ii) Sinceduringroasting, the mineral(X) formedtwo compounds(A) and(B),therefore, the mineral consistsoftwo METALS, maybe , Cu andFe. If thisobservationiscorrect,thenthemineralconsists fo twometals, may be , Cu andFe.Ifthis observationis correct, thenthemineral(X) iscopperpyrites.
`underset ("Copper pyriter (X)")( 2CU Fe S_2)+O_ 2overset (Delta ) tounderset("(A)") (Cu_2S )+underset("(B)") (2FeS) +SO_ 2`
Since Fe ismorereactivethen Cu,therefore , FeS(B) ispreferentiallyoxidisedto FEO then`Cu_ 2S`isoxidisedto` Cu _ 2O`. Ifat allany` Cu_ 2O` isformed, itcombineswithFeS to form` Cu_ 2 S`. Duringsmelting, FeOcombineswith ` SiO_ 2`to formferroussilicateslage (E).
`FeO +SiO_ 2tounderset ("FERROUS silicate (E)") ( FeSiO_3) `
The matte (F) mainlyconsistsofamixtureof`Cu_ 2 S `withsomeunchangesFeS.
Duringbessemerization,FeS isoxidised to FeOwhichcombineswith `SiO_2`toform` FeSiO_ 3`slag
` Fe O+SiO_ 2toFe SiO_ 3(slag )`
Some of` Cu_ 2 S`isfirstoxidized to`Cu_ 2 O`which thenreactswithremaining` Cu_ 2 S`to formcoppermetal(Y).
`2Cu_ 2S+3 O_ 2to2 Cu_ 2O+2SO_ 2,2Cu_ 2O+Cu_ 2Stounderset("Copper metal (E)") ( 6 Cu) +SO _ 2`
Thus,`X = Cu FeS_ 2`(copperpyrites ),Y = Cu, A =` Cu_ 2S`,B =FeS,C =` Cu_2 O`,D = FeO ,E =` FeSi O _ 3`.

A mineral contained MgO= 31.88%, SiO_(2)=63.37% and H_(2)O=4.75%. Show that the simplest formula for the mineral is H_(2)Mg_(3)Si_(4)O_(12). (H=1, Mg=24, Si=28, O=16)

Answer»

Solution :Suppose the weight of the mineral is 100g. Then weight of MGO= 31.88g
weight of `SO_(4)=` 63.37g,
weight of `H_(2)O`=4.75g.
Moles of Mg in MgO= `1 XX` moles of MgO
`=(31.88)/(40)=0.797`
Moles of Si in `SiO_(2)=1 xx` moles of `SiO_(2)`
`=(63.37)/(60)=1.0561`
Moles of H in `H_(2)O=2 xx` moles of `H_(2)O`
`=(2xx4.75)/(18)= 0.5278`
moles of O = moles of O in MgO+ moles of O in `SiO_(2)` + moles of O in `H_(2)O`
`=1 xx` moles of MgO +2 `xx` moles of `SiO_(2)+1 xx` moles of `H_(2)O`
`=(31.88)/(40) + (2 xx 63.37)/(60)+ (4.75)/(18)=3.172`
Moles of O= 3.172
Now, by inspection, we have moles of H= 0.5278 `=0.2639 xx 2`
moles of Mg= 0.797 `~~0.2639 xx 3`
moles of Si=1.0561 `~~0.2639 xx 4`
moles of O=3.172 `~~0.2639 xx 12`
`therefore H: Mg: Si: O= 2: 3: 4: 12`
The FORMULA is `H_(2)Mg_(3)Si_(4)O_(12)`

A [M(H_(2)O)_(6)]^(2+) complex typically absorbs at around 600 n. it is allowed to react with ammonia to form a new compelx [M(NH_(3))_(6)]^(2+) that should have absorption at:

Answer»

800 nm
580 nm
620 nm
320 nm

Solution :As `NH_(3)` is sronger ligand than `H_(2)O`, hence CFSE VALUE for `[M(NH_(3))_(6)]^(3+) gt CFSE` of `[M(H_(2)O)_(6)]^(2+)`
THEREFORE, absorption SHIFTS to smaller wavelength. Also DIFFERENCE between splitting POWER of `NH_(3)` and `H_(2)O` is not very high.

A methyl glucoside can be converted to the _______ anhydride in the presence of pyridine. Identify the produce formed.

Answer»

tetramethyl
pentamethyl
trimethyl
hexamethyl

Solution :
This reaction is just a multiple williamson synthesis. The hydroxyl groups of monosaccharides are more acidic than those of ordinary alcohols because the monosaccharides contains so many electronegative oxygen atoms, all of which exert electron-withdrawing inductive effects no nearby hydroxyl groups.
In aqueous `NaOH`, the hydroxyl groups are CONVERTED to alkoxide ions, and each of these, in TURN reacts with dimethyl sulphate in an `S_(N)^(2)` reaction to yield a methyl ether. The process called exhaustive methylation.
The methoxy groups at `C_(2), C_(3), C_(4)` and `C_(6)` of the pentmethyl derivative are ordinary ether groups. Consequently, these groups are stable in dilute aqueous acid (remember, to cleave ethers requires HEATING with come. `HBr` or `HI`).
However, the methoxy group at `C1` is different from others because it is a part of an acetal linkage (it is GLYCOSIDIC). Therefore, treating the pentamethyl derivative with dilute aqueous acid causes hydrolysis of this glycosidic methoxy group and produces 2,3,4,6- teta `O`-methyl - `D-` glucose (The `O` in this name means that methyl groups are bonded to oxygen atoms).

A metallic element 'X' has cubic lattic. Each edge of the unit cell is 2.0Å and its density is 2.5 g cm^(-3). Number of atoms in 200g of the metal are :

Answer»

`1 xx 10^(20)`
`1 xx 10^(22)`
`1 xx 10^(24)`
`1 xx 10^(25)`

Solution :Volume of unit CELL `= ( 2.0 xx 10^(-8) cm )^(3)`
`= 8 xx 10^(-24) cm^(3)`
Density `= 2.5 g cm^(-3)`
Mass of unit cell `= 8 xx 10^(-24) xx 2.5 `
`= 20 xx 10^(-24) g `
No. of unit cells in 200G`= ( 200)/( 20 xx 10^(-24))`
`= 1 xx 10^( 25)`
Since metallic element has simple cubic lattice, number of atoms in a unit cell =1
No. of atoms in 200g of metal
`=1 xx 10^(25) xx 1 `

A metal wire carries of current of 1 ampere. How many electrons pass a paint in the wire in 1 second. ?
