Stoichiometry, Mole Concept & Volumetric Analysis
Solution
8g of CH\(_4\) occupies 11.2 at S.T.P. What volume would 22g of CH\(_3\)CH\(_2\)CH\(_3\) occupy under the same condition?
A
3.7dm\(^3\)
B
11.2dm\(^3\)
C
22.4dm\(^3\)
D
33dm\(^3\)
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
Molar mass of methane = 16g/mol
At S.T.P. its 8g occupies 11.2
so 16g occupies 22.4 dm\(^3\)
Molar mass of propane = 44g/mol\(^-1\) occupies 22.4dm\(^3\) at S.T.P
so 22g will occupy 11.2dm\(^3\)

Solution
The best treatment for a student who accidentally poured conc tetraoxosulphate(vi) on his skin in the laboratory is to wash his skin with?
A
with cool running water
B
sodium hydroxide solution
C
iodine solution
D
sodium trioxonitrate(v) solution
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
Sulfuric acid is flushed with a mild, soapy solution if the burns are not severe. Sulfuric acid feels hot when water is added to the acid, but it is better to flush the area and not leave the acid on the skin.
Don't try to neutralize the burn with acid or alkali. This could cause a chemical reaction that worsens the burn.
