A mixture of `CaCl_(2)` and NaCl weighing 4.44 is treated with sodium carbonate solution to precipitate all the `Ca^(2+)` ions as calcium carbonate. The calcium carbonate so obtained is heated strongly to get 0.56 g of `CaO`. The percentage of NaCl in the mixture of (atomic mass of Ca=40) isA. `75`B. `30.6`C. `25`D. `69.4`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
`NaCl+Na_(2)CO_(3)to` No reaction
`CaCl_(2)+Na_(2)CO_(3)toCaCO_(3)+2NaCl`
`underset(=111g)((40+2xx35.5))underset(=106g)((23xx2+12+16xx3))underset(=100g)((40+12+3xx16))`
Let the weight of `CaCl_(2)` in the mixture be x g
`:.` weight of `NaCl` in the mixture `=(4.44-x)g`
`CaCO_(3)overset(Delta)(to)CaO+CO_(2)`
`40+16`
`=56g`
Now 111 g `CaCl_(2)` produce `CaCO_(3)=100g`
`:.` x g of `CaCO_(2)` produce CaO = 56 g
`(100)/(111)xCaCO_(3)` produce CaO `= (56)/(100)xx(100)/(111)xg`
`=(56)/(111)xg=0.50g`
or x = 1.11 g
`:.` NaCl in the mixture = 4.44-1.11 = 3.33 g
Percentage of NaCl in the mixture
`=(3.33)/(4.44)xx100=75%`

If `0.50 mol` of barium chloride `(BaCl_(2))` is mixed with `0.20` mol of sodium phosphate `(Na_(3) PO_(4))` the maximum number of moles of barium phosphate `[Ba_(3)(PO_(4))_(2)]` formed isA. `0.25`B. `0.10`C. `0.40`D. `0.50`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
`underset(3 mol)(3BaCl_(2)) + underset(2 mol) (2Na_(3) PO_(4)) rarr underset(1 mol) (Ba_(3)(PO_(4))_(2)) + underset(6 mol) (6NaCl)`
`0.50 mol BaCl_(2) xx (1 mol Ba_(3) (PO_(4))_(2))/(3 mol BaCl_(2)) = 0.17 mol Ba_(3) (PO_(4))_(2)`
`0.20 mol Na_(3) PO_(4) xx (1 mol Ba_(3) (PO_(4))_(2))/(2.0 mol Na_(3) PO_(4)) = 0.1 mol Ba_(3) (PO_(4))_(2)`
Therefore, `Na_(3) PO_(4)` is the limiting rectant and the maximum moles of `Ba_(3) (PO_(4))_(2)` formed is `0.1` mol.

The mass of `2.24xx10^(-3)m^(3)` of a gas is 4.4 g at 273.15 K and 101.325 Kpa pressure. The gas may beA. `NO`B. `NO_(2)`C. `C_(3)H_(8)`D. `NH_(3)`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
`2.24xx10^(-3)m^(3)` of a gas = 2.24L at STP
`:. 2.24L` of a gas at STP weigh = 4.4
`:.` 22.4 L of a gas at STP weigh =44g
now 22.4 L of a gas at STP at = molar mass of the gas
`:.` molar mass of the gas = 44 g
molar mass of `C_(3)H_(8)=36+8=44g`

Assertion: `HClO_(4)` is a stronger acid than `HClO_(3)`. Reason: Oxidation state of `Cl` in `HClO_(4)` is `+VII` and in `HClO_(3)+V`.A. If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.B. If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.C. If assertion is true but reason is false.D. If the assertion and reason both are false.

Answer» Correct Answer - B
Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion. Greater the number of negative atoms present in the oxy-acid make the acid stronger. In general, the strength of acids that have general formula `(HO)_(m)ZO_(n)` can be related to the value of n. As the value of n increases, acidic character also increases. The negative atoms draw electrons away from the Z-atom and make it more positive. The Z-atom, therefore, becomes more effective in with drawing electron density away from the oxygen atom that bonded to hydrogen. in turn, the electrons of `H-O` bond are drawn more strongly away from the H-atom. The net effect makes it easier from the proton release and increases the acid strength.

There are two isotopes of an element with atomic mass z. Heavier on has atomic mass z+2 and lighter one has z-1, then abundance of lighter one isA. `66.6%`B. `96.7%`C. `6.67%`D. `33.3%`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Let percent abundance of lighter isotope = x
`:. (x(z-1)+(100-x)(z+2))/(100)=z`
`xz-z+100z+200-xz-2x=100z`
`-3x = -200`
`x = (200)/(6) = 66.6`
`:.` percent abundance of lighter isotopes = x

A tumbler contains 3 L of water Calculate the volume of the water in `m^(3)`.

Answer» We know that, 1 m-100 cm and `1 L - 10^(3)cm^(3)`
To get `m^(3), 1 m^(3)=(100 cm)^(3)=10^(6)cm^(3)`
As, `1 L = 10^(3) cm^(3)`
`therefore 1 m^(3)=(10^(6)cm^(3))/(10^(3) cm^(3))=10^(3) L`
Hence, `1 L=10^(-3) m^(3)`
`therefore 3 L` of water `= 3xx10^(-3)m^(3)`
OR
Since, `1 L = 1000 cm^(3)` and 1 m = 100 cm which gives
`(1 m)/(100 cm) = 1 = (100 cm)/(1 m)`
To get `m^(3)` from the above unit factors, the first unit factor is taken and it is cubed.
`((1 m)/(100 cm))^(3) rArr (1 m^(3))/(10^(6)cm^(3))=(1)^(3)=1`
Now, `3 L = 3xx1000 cm^(3)`
The above is multiplied by the unit factor.
`3xx1000 cm^(3)xx(1m^(3))/(10^(6)cm^(3))=(3 m^(3))/(10^(3))=3xx10^(-3)m^(3)`.

Express the following calculations to the proper number of significant figures. `((2.34xx10^(-8))(0.5))/(6.4)`

Answer» In this calculation 0.5 has minimum number of significant digits. It has only one significant digit. The result of this calculation is, therefore , to be rounded off to one significant digit.
`((2.34xx10^(-8))xx(0.5))/(6.4)`
`=(1.17xx10^(-8))/(6.4)=0.1828125xx10^(-8)`
Here 8, after 1 is greater than 5, so the result after rounding off is `0.2xx10^(-8)` .

On reduction with hydrogen, `3.6 g` of an oxide of matel left `3.2 g` of metal. If the vapour density of metal is `32`, the simplest formula of the oxide would beA. (a)`MO`B. (b)`M_(2)O_(3)`C. (c )`M_(2)O`D. (d)`M_(2)O_(5)`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
As we know that
Equivalent weight`=("weight of metal")/("weight of oxygen")xx8`
`=32/0.4xx8=64`
Vapour density`=(mol. Wt)/2`
Mol. Wt.`=2xxV.D=2xx32=54`
As we know that `n=("mol. wt")/("eq. wt")=64/64=1`
Suppose, the formula of metal oxide be. `M_(2)O_(n)` Hence the formula of metal oxide`=M_(2)O`.
