Solution
What would be observed when aqueous ammonia is added in drops and then in excess to a solution of copper(II) ions?
A
blue precipitate is formed which is soluble in excess ammonia
B
brick red precipitate is produced which is insoluble in excess ammonia
C
white precipitate is formed which is excess in ammonia
D
green precipitate is formed which is insoluble in excess ammonia
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
When a few drops of ammonia solution is added to copper(II) ions, a blue precipitate of copper(II) hydroxide is formed.
CuSO₄(aq) + 2NH₃(aq) + 2H₂O(ℓ) ⇌ Cu(OH)₂(s) + (NH₄)₂SO₄(aq)
However, when ammonia solution is added in excess, the blue precipitate re-dissolves to form a deep blue solution of tetraamine copper(II) hydroxide.
Cu(OH)₂(s) + 4NH₃(aq) → [Cu(NH₃)₄](OH)₂(aq). Therefore, the correct answer is option A.

Stoichiometry & Mole Concept
Solution
The 25^\circC evaporation of a 100 cm\(^{3}\) solution of \(K_2\)C\(O_3\) to dryness gave 14g of the salt. What is the solubility of \(K_2\)C\(O_3\) at 25^\circC? [\(K_2\)C\(O_3\) = 138]
A
0.01 mol dm\(^{-3}\)
B
0.101 mol dm\(^{-3}\)
C
1.01 mol dm \(^{-3}\)
D
10.0 mol dm\(^{-3}\)
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
solubility( in mol/dm^3) = \(\frac{ mass of salt}{ Molar Mass of salt} = \frac{ 1000cm^3}{ volume of solution in cm^3}\)
\(\frac{14}{138 } = \frac{ 1000cm^3}{ 100}\)
\(\frac{14000}{13800} = 1.01 mol/dm^3\)

Stoichiometry & Mole Concept
Solution
Student X titrated 25 cm\(^{3}\) of N\(a_2\)CO\(^{3}\) with 0.1 mol dm\(^{-3}\) HCI, using methyl orange as indicator. Student Y carried out the same exercise but used phenolphthalein as an indicator. Which of the following statements about the titration is true?
A
hydrogen chloride gas was released in the reactions in both titrations
B
the titer values obtained from the titration are equal
C
the titer value obtained by X is twice that of Y
D
the titer value obtained by Y is twice that of X
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
The titration of sodium carbonate (Na\(_2\)CO\(_3\)) with hydrochloric acid (HCl) occurs in two distinct stages due to the dibasic nature of the carbonate ion.
Because Student X (using methyl orange) titrates through both stages and Student Y (using phenolphthalein) titrates through only the first stage, Student X requires twice the volume of acid to reach the endpoint compared to Student Y.
