The products of the reaction between dilute sulphuric acid and sodium thiosulphate crystals are?

A.

Na2SO4 + SO2 + O2 + H2O

B.

Na2SO3 + SO3 + O2 + H2O

C.

Na2SO4 + SO2 + S + H2O

D.

Na2SO4 + SO3 + S + H2O

E.

Na2SO4 + SO2 + H2O only

Correct answer is C

\(Na_2S_2O_3 + H_2SO_4 → Na_2SO_4 + SO_2 + S↓ + H_2O\). Sodium thiosulfate reacts with sulfuric acid to produce sodium sulfate, sulphur dioxide, sulfur, and water.

If 48,000 coulombs of electricity are required to discharge 0.5 mole of sodium from a molten sodium chloride mass, then the number of coulombs required to discharge 2 moles of lead from molten lead (ll) chloride is?

A.

48,000

B.

96,000

C.

192,000

D.

384,000

E.

576,000

Correct answer is D

48,000 coulombs are required to discharge 0.5 mole of Na
∴ 1 m will be discharged by 2 x 48,000 = 96,000 coulombs
2 moles of Na will be discharged by 2 x 96,000
= 192,000
For lead (Pb) two electrons are involved.
∴ Number or coulombs required to discharged 2 moles of Pb = 2 x 192,000 = 384,000 coulombs

28.8 cm3 of nitrogen at 15°C is cooled to O°C at constant pressure, the new volume of nitrogen is?

A.

17.4 cm3

B.

14.7 cm3

C.

27.3 cm3

D.

31.7 cm3

Correct answer is C

(V1)/(T1) = (V2)/(T2) (288 cm3)/(288) = (V2)/(273)
V2 = (288 x 273)/(288) = 273 cm3
