In the reaction between sodium hydroxide and tetraoxosulphate (VI) solutions, what volume of 0.5 molar sodium hydroxide would exactly neutralize 10cm3 of 1.25 molar tetraoxosulphate (vi) acid?

A.

25cm3

B.

10cm3

C.

20cm3

D.

50cm3

Correct answer is D

Equation of reaction : 2NaOH + H2SO4 → Na2SO4 + 2H2O
Concentration of a base, CB = 0.5M
Volume of acid, VA = 10cm3
Concentration of an acid, CA = 1.25M
Volume of base, VB = ?
Recall:

CAVACBVB=nAnB ... (1)

N.B: From the equation,

nAnB=12

From (1)

1.25×100.5×VB=12

12.50.5VB=12

25 = 0.5VB
VB = 50.0 cm3

Consider the equation below:

Cr2O27 + 6Fe2+ + 14H+ 2Cr3+ + 6Fe3+ + 7H2O.

The oxidation number of chromium changes from

A.

+5 to +3

B.

+6 to +3

C.

-2 to +3

D.

+7 to +3

Correct answer is B

Cr2O27 + 6Fe2+ + 14H+ 2Cr3+ + 6Fe3+ + 7H2O

The oxidation of Cr in Cr2O27 :

Let the oxidation of Cr = x; 

2x + (-2 x 7) = -2 2x - 14 = -2

2x = 12 ; x = +6

Hence, the change in oxidation of Cr = +6 to +3
