1.00g of mixture of calcium carbonate and calcium oxide liberated 0.33g of carbon dioxide on strong heating. The percentage of calcium oxide in the mixture is? (Ca = 40, C = 12, O = 16)

A.

5

B.

15

C.

25

D.

35

E.

50

Correct answer is C

CaCO3 + CaO 2CaO + 2CO2

44gm of CO3 is liberated by 100gm of CaCO3

0.33gm of CO2 will be liberated by 10044 x 0.33

= 0.75 of CaCO3

Amount of CaO = 1 - 0.75

= 0.25

% of CaO = 0.251×1001

= 25%

In the experiment above, a current was passed for 10 minutes, and 0.63g of copper was found to be deposited on the cathode of CuSO4 cells. The weight of silver deposited on the cathode of AgNO3 cell during the same period would be? [Cu = 63, Ag = 108]

A.

0.54g

B.

1.08g

C.

1.62g

D.

2.16g

E.

3.24g

Correct answer is D

Same period, Same current

Cu2++2eCu;2Ag++2e → Ag

From the equation above, 2 mol Ag ≡ 1 mol Cu

But 0.63g Cu = 0.6363 = 0.01mole Cu

Hence 0.002 mole Ag is deposited

mass of Ag deposited = 0.002 x 108 = 2.16g.
