If an our sample containing `Mn` is treated with `50 mL` of `0.2750 M Na_(2)C_(2)O_(4)` and the unreacted `Na_(2)C_(2)O_(4)` required `18.28 mL` of `0.1232 M KMnO_(4)` in acidic medium, the number of moles of `Mn` in the ore isA. (a)`1.38xx10^(-2)`B. (b)`1.49xx10^(-3)`C. (c )`1.15xx10^(-2)`D. (d)`8.12xx10^(-3)`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
Ore of Mn is `MnO_(2) ("pyrolusite")`.
`2e^(-)+MnO_(2) rarr Mn^(2+)`
`(x-4) rarr x=+2(x=4-2=2)`
`E_(w)` of `MnO_(2)=M_(w)/2`
Excess of `C_(2)O_(4)^(2-)=18.28xx0.1232xx5 mEq` of `MnO_(4)^(-)`
or `=11.26 mEq of C_(2)O_(4)^(2-)`
`Total C_(2)O_(4)^(2-)=50xx0.2750xx2 mEq=27.5 mEq`
Reacted `C_(2)O_(4)^(2-)=27.5-11.26=16.24=16.24 mEq of C_(2)O_(4)^(2-)`
`or =16.24 mEq of MnO_(2)=16.24xx10^(-3) eq of MnO_(2)`
Moles of `MnO_(2)=(16.24xx10^(-3))/2=8.12xx10^(-3) mol`

(a) Identify the experiment associated with the following figure:(b) Explain the experiment done by Rutherford and give its observations. (c) Write the conclusions of the experiment.

Answer»

(a) It is the figure of α -particle scattering experiment (gold foil experiment). 

(b) In this experiment, a stream of high energy α – particles from a radioactive source was directed at a thin foil of gold metal which had a circular fluorescent zinc sulphide screen around it. Whenever αparticles struck the screen, a tiny ash of light was produced at that point. The α- particles striking the gold foil were analysed. 

It was observed that: 

1. Most of the α – particles passed through gold foil undeflected. 

2. A small fraction of the α – particles are deflected by small angles. 

3. A very few α – particles(1 in 20,000) bounced back i.e., deflected by nearly 180°.

c) Rutherford drew the following conclusions regarding the structure of atom from this experiment: 

1. Most of the space in the atom is empty as most of the α – particles passed through the foil undeflected. 

2. The positive charge of the atom is concentrated in a very small volume (called nucleus) that repelled and deflected the positively charged α – particles.

3. Volume occupied by the nucleus is negligibly small as compared to the total volume of the atom.

The arguments of two students is as given:Student 1 : “We need four quantum numbers to represent an electron in a multi-electron atom.” Student 2 : “We need only first three quantum numbers to represent an electron in a multi-electron atom.” (a) Which are the four quantum numbers? (b) Who is correct? Why? (c) Write the possible four quantum numbers of the valence electron of Na atom.

Answer»

(a) The four quantum numbers are: 

(i) Principal quantum number (n) 

(ii) Azimuthal quantum number (l) 

(iii) Magnetic quantum number (m ) 

(iv) Spin quantum number (m ) 

(b) The argument of student 1 is correct. If there are two electrons in the same subshell the first three quantum numbers become the same. Hence we need fourth quantum number to identify the electron.

The pH of 10-5 M KOH solution will be ……… (a) 9 (b) 5 (c) 19 (d) none of these

Answer»

(a) 9

KOH → K+ + OH

10-5 M 10-5 M 10-5

[OH ]= 10-5

pH = 14 – pOH 

pH = 14 – (-log [OH-]) 

= 14 + log [OH-

= 14 + log10-5 

= 14 – 5 

= 9
