A gaseous mixture contains 50% helium and 50% methane by volume. What is the percent by weight of methane in the mixture?

Answer»

`19.97%`
`20.05%`
`50%`
`75%`

Solution :`("Vol. of He")/("Vol. of" CH_(4)) = (50)/(50) = (1)/(1)`
`("No. of molecules of He")/("No. of molecules of" CH_(4))=(1)/(1)`
`("MASS of He")/("Mass of" CH_(4))=(4)/(16)=(1)/(4)`
`:.` Percentage of `CH_(4)` in mixture `(4)/(5)xx100=80%`

0.5
0.75

Solution :`("VOL. of He")/("vol. of " CH_4) = 50/50 = 1/1 `
` ("no. of MOLECULES of He")/("no. of molecules of " CH_4) = 1/1`
`(" mass of He")/("mass of " CH_4) = 4/16 = 1/4`
% of `CH_4` in mixture `= (4 xx 100)/(5) = 80.03%`

Answer»

`5 xx 10^(-4) mol L^(-1) sec^(-1)`
`5 xx 10^(-5) mol l^(-1) sec^(-1)`
`6 xx 10^(-5) mol l^(-1) sec^(-1)`
`4 xx 10^(-4) mol l^(-1) sec^(-1)`

Solution :Increase in CONCENTRATION of `B = 5 xx 10^(-3)` mol`l^(-1)` Time = 50 sec
Rate of apperance ofB = `("Increase of conc. B")/("Time TAKEN")`

A gaseous hydrocarbon requires 6 times its own volume of O_(2) for complete oxidation and produces 4 times its volume of CO_(2). What is its formula ?

Answer»

Solution :The balanced EQUATION for combustion
`C_(x) H_(y)+(x+(y)/(4))O_(2) rarr xCO_(2) +(y)/(2) H_(2)O`
1 VOLUME `(x+(y)/(4))` volume
`therefore x+(y)/(4)=6` (by equation)
or 4x+y=24
Again x=4 since evolved `CO_(2)` is 4 times that of hydrocarbon
`therefore 16 +y=24" or "y=8 therefore` formula of hydrocarbon `C_(4)H_(8)`

Answer»

`C_(2)H_(4)`
`C_(3)H_(4)`
`C_(6)H_(5)`
`C_(7)H_(8)`

SOLUTION :`C_(x)H_(y) + (x+(y)/(4))O_(2) RARR xCO_(2) + (y)/(2) H_(2)O`
Moles of `H_(2)O = (0.72)/(18) = 0.04`
Moles of `CO_(2)= (3.08)/(44) = 0.07`
`-""x : (y)/(2) = 0.07 : 0.04`
or `x : y = 0.07 : 0.08 or 7 : 8`
`therefore""C : H = 7 : 8`
Therefore, the empirical formula is `C_(7)H_(8)`.

89516.

A gaseous compound which contains only C, H and S is burnt with oxygen under such conditions that individual volumes of the reactant and product can be measured at the same temperature and pressure. It is found that 3 volumes of the compound react with oxygen to yield 3 volumes of CO_(2), 3 volumes of SO_(2) and 6 volumes of water vapour. What volume of oxygen is required for teh combustion? What is the formula of the compound ? Is this an empirical formula or molecular formula ?

Answer»

Solution :`{:("COMPOUND",+,O_(2),rarr,CO_(2),+,SO_(2),+,H_(2)O),(3 "vol",,v"vol(say)",,3 "vol",,3"vol",,6"vol"),(or " 3 moles",,v"moles",,3"moles",,3"moles",,6"moles"):}`
Applying POAC for O atoms, moles of O in `O_(2)`
=moles of O in `CO_(2) +` moles of O in `SO_(2)`+ moles of O in `H_(2)O 2xx` moles of `O_(2)`
`=2 xx` moles of `CO_(2)+2 xx` moles of `SO_(2) +1 xx` moles of `H_(2)O`
`2v=2 xx 3+2 xx3 +1 xx 6= 18, v= 9`
`therefore` volume of `O_(2)` required for combustion is 9.
Again, moles of C in `CO_(2)=1 xx` moles of `CO_(2)=3`
moles of S in `SO_(2)=1XX` moles of `SO_(2)=3`
moles of H in `H_(2)O=2 xx` moles of `H_(2)O=12`
`therefore` formula is `C_(3)S_(3)H_(12) or CSH_(4)`
Now we see 3 moles of the compound contain 3 moles of C atoms in `C_(3)S_(3)H_(12)`. Hence i mole of the compound should contain 1 mole of C atoms and therefore, the molecular formula is `CSH_(4)`.

A gaseous A_(2)(g) rarr B(g) +(1)/(2) C(g), shows increase in pressure from 100 mm to 120 mm in 5 min. The rate of disappearance of A_(2) is

Answer»

4 mm `"MIN"^(-1)`
8 mm `"min"^(-1)`
16 mm `"min"^(-1)`
2 mm `"min"^(-1)`

Solution :`{:(,A_(2)(g)rarr,B(g)+,(1)/(2)C(g)),("Initially",100mm,0,0),("After 5min",(100-p)min,p,(1)/(2)p):}`
Total pressure = `100 - p + p +(1)/(2) p = 100 +(1)/(2) p`
`therefore` Increase in pressure =` (1)/(2) p = 120 - 100 = 20 mm`
`therefore` Decrease in pressure of `A_(2) = 2 xx 20 = 40 mm`
`therefore` Rate of disappearance of `A_(2)=(DX)/(dt)=(40)/(5)=8 mm " min"^(-1)`
