Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
Rate of diffusion \(\frac{\alpha_1}{Density}\) or \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{Mm}}\)
Rate = \(\frac{1}{time}\)
\(\frac{1}{time}\) \(\frac{\alpha_1}{Density}\) or \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{Molarmass}}\)
Time \(\alpha \sqrt{Density}\) or \(\sqrt{Molarmass}\)
At constant volume of 100cm3
\(\frac{t_{o2}}{\sqrt{Mn_{o2}}}\) = \(\frac{t_{n2}}{\sqrt{1 \times 2}}\)
\(\frac{50}{4 \sqrt{2}}\) = \(\frac{t_{n2}}{\sqrt{2}}\)

Due to the high reactivity of sodium, it is usually stored under
A
water
B
mercury
C
paraffin
D
phenol
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
Na is kept under kerosene (paraffin) to avoid reactivity with air.
Paraffin is also known as Kerosene.
Na(sodium) is kept in kerosene to prevent it from coming in contact with oxygen and moisture. If this happens, it will react with the moisture present in air and form sodium hydroxide.

A
negative
B

C

D

medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
\DeltaG= \DeltaH − T\DeltaS.
To determine whether \DeltaG will be positive or negative, the value of \DeltaH(change in enthalpy) and \DeltaS (change in entropy) must be given. Likewise the temperature.
Entropy represents the degree of disorder in a system. In a gaseous reaction, this is determined by the change in the number of moles of gas.
Reactants: 1 mole of X + 3 moles of Y = 4 moles of gas
Products: 2 moles of Z = 2 moles of gas.
The spontaneity of a reaction is determined by the equation: \DeltaG= \DeltaH − T\DeltaS.
\DeltaH is positive , T = is always positive, \DeltaS = is negative. Substituting the signs into the equation: \DeltaG= \DeltaH − T\DeltaS = (+) - (T x (-)) = +
Since both terms are positive, \DeltaG must be positive regardless of the specific value of T as long as T is expressed in Kelvin (which is always > 0). A positive \DeltaG indicates the reaction is non-spontaneous at room temperature.

Calculate the mass of copper deposited when a current of 0.5 ampere was passed through a solution of copper(II) chloride for 45 minutes in an electrolytic cell. [Cu = 64, F = 96500Cmol-1]
A
0.300g
B
0.250g
C
0.2242g
D
0.448g
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
M = \(\frac{\text{Molar mass × Quantity of Electricity}}{\text{96500 × no of charge}}\)
= \(\frac{MmIT}{96500n}\)
Copper II Chloride = CuCl2
CuCl2 → Cu2+ + 2Cl2
Mass of compound deposited = \(\frac{\text{Molar mass × Quantity of Electricity}}{\text{96500 × no of charge}}\)
Q = IT
I = 0.5A
T = 45 × 60
T = 2700s
Q = 0.5 × 2700
= 1350c
Molarmass = 64gmol-1
no of charge = + 2
Mass = \(\frac{64 \times 1350}{96500 \times 2}\)
Mass = 0.448g
