medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
Cr\(_2\)O\(_7 ^{2-}\) + 6Fe\(^{2+}\) + 14H\(^{+}\) \(\to\) 2Cr\(^{3+}\) + 6Fe\(^{3+}\) + 7H\(_2\)O
The oxidation of Cr in Cr\(_2\)O\(_7 ^{2-}\) :
Let the oxidation of Cr = x;
2x + (-2 x 7) = -2 \(\implies\) 2x - 14 = -2
2x = 12 ; x = +6
Hence, the change in oxidation of Cr = +6 to +3

Chemical Principles & Mechanism
Equation of reaction : 2NaOH + H\(_2\)SO\(_4\) → Na\(_2\)SO\(_4\) + 2H\(_2\)O
Concentration of a base, CB = 0.5M
Volume of acid, V\(_A\) = 10cm\(^3\)
Concentration of an acid, C\(_A\) = 1.25M
Volume of base, V\(_B\) = ?
Recall:
\(\frac{C_A V_A}{C_B V_B} = \frac{n_A}{n_B}\) ... (1)
N.B: From the equation,
\(\frac{n_A}{n_B} = \frac{1}{2}\)
From (1)
\(\frac{1.25 \times 10}{0.5 \times V_B} = \frac{1}{2}\)
\(\frac{12.5}{0.5V_B} = \frac{1}{2}\)
25 = 0.5V\(_B\)
VB = 50.0 cm\(^3\)

C\(_3\)H\(_6\)O\(_3\)
B
C\(_6\)H\(_6\)O\(_3\)
C
C\(_6\)H\(_{12}\)O\(_6\)
D

medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
C → 40/12 ≈ 3
H → 6.7/1 ≈ 6
O → 53.3/16 ≈ 3
dividing through with the lowest value, 3
C\(_1\)H\(_2\)O\(_1\)
[C\(_1\)H\(_2\)O\(_1\)]n = 180
[12 + 2 + 16]m = 180
30n = 180
n = 6

Solution
Which of the following gases contains the least number of atoms at s.t.p?
A
1 mole of butane
B
4 moles of chlorine
C
3 moles of ozone
D
7 moles of argon
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
4 moles of chlorine gas = 4Cl\(_2\) = 8 atoms of chlorine
3 moles of ozone = 3O\(_3\) = 9 atoms of oxygen
1 mole of butane = C\(_4\)H\(_{10}\)
7 mole of argon = 7Ar = 7 atoms of argon
Argon is a monoatomic noble gas with the least number of atoms.

Solution
What mass of magnesium would be obtained by passing a current of 2 amperes for 2 hours 30 mins, through molten magnesium chloride?
[1 faraday = 96500C, Mg = 24]
A
1.12g
B
4.48g
C
1.80g
D
2.24g
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
Given Data:
Time (T) = 2hrs 30mins
where 2hrs =120mins
2hrs & 30mins = (120 + 30)mins = 150mins
150mins to Seconds = 150 x60 = 9,000s
Q = I x T
2 x 9,000 =18,000
where mg has valency of +2
So 2 x 96500 will discharge 24g of mg
and 18,000 will discharge xg of mg
2 x 96500 =24
18,000 =x
x = \(\frac{24 \times 18,000}{2 x 96500}\)
≈ 2.24g

What volume of 0.100M sodium trioxonitrate (V) solution contains 5g of solute ?
[Na = 23, N = 14, O = 16]
A
1.7 litres
B
0.420 litres
C
0.588 litres
D
2.35 litres
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
Given:
V = ? , C = 0.100M, m = 5g
Molar mass, M of NaNO\(_3\) = 23 + 14 + (16 X 3) = 85 g/mol
Number of moles, n = \(\frac{mass}{Molar Mass}\)
= \(\frac{5}{85}\)
n = 0.0588 mole
Recall that n = \(\frac{CV}{1000}\)
n = CV (looking through the options, no need including the 1000 since the answer was left in Litres)
V = \(\frac{n}{C}\)
V = \(\frac{0.0588}{0.100}\)
V = 0.588 Litres
