Stoichiometry & Mole Concept
Solution
What is the relative molecular mass of the compound below?
[H = 1.0; C = 12.0; O = 16.0]
A
137
B
136
C
64
D
59
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
The molecular formula of the compound in question is \(C_6H_5COOCH_3\)
Then its relative molecular mass = 8C + 8H + 2O = 8 X 12 + 8 x 1 + 2 X 16 = 136

Acids, Bases, and Salts
Solution
If humid air is polluted by chlorine discharged, the air can be restored by sprinkling
A
solid Mn\(O_2\)
B
acidified KMn\(O_4\)
C
acidified FeS\(O_4\)
D
saturated NaCl(aq)
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
Chlorine is a toxic gas and when it pollutes the air, it can be neutralized by using acidified KMnO4. The reaction between chlorine and acidified KMnO4 results in the formation of chloride ions, manganese(II) ions, and water, which are harmless. This is why acidified KMnO4 is used to restore air polluted by chlorine discharge.

D
N\(H_4\)N\(O_3\) and C\(O_3\)
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
when potassium sulfate is mixed with barium chloride a white precipitate of barium sulfate will be form. barium sulfate is slightly soluble in water, so it will precipitate out as a solid
BaCl2 + K2SO4 → BaSO4 + 2KCl
note; all substances are aqueous except BaSO4 which is solid
