A mixture of 0.20 mole of Ar, 0.20 mole of N2 and 0.30 mole of He exerts a total pressure of 2.1 atm. The partial pressure of He in the mixture is?

A.

0.90 atm

B.

0.80 atm

C.

0.70 atm

D.

0.60 atm

Correct answer is A

Total no mole = 0.2 + 0.2 + 0.3 = 0.7
Partial pressure of He = (0.3)/(0.7) x 2.1 =0.90

An element, X, forms a volatile hydride XH3 with a vapour density of 17.0. The relative atomic mass of X is?

(H = 1)

A.

34.0

B.

31.0

C.

20.0

D.

14.0

Correct answer is B

Molecular Mass = Vapour density x 2 = 17.0 x 2 = 34.0
∴ Relative Atomic Mass of X in XH3 = 34 - 3
= 31.0 ∴ x = 31.0

35 cm3 of hydrogen was sparked with 12 cm3 of oxygen at 110°C and 760mm Hg to produce steam. What percentage of the total volume of gas left after the reaction is hydrogen?

A.

11%

B.

31%

C.

35%

D.

69%

Correct answer is B

Reaction for the equation:

\(2H_{2} + O_{2} \to 2H_{2} O\)

\(2 vol : 1 vol : 2 vol\)

Hence, 2 volumes of Hydrogen is needed for the reaction with Oxygen to produce steam (water).

\(\therefore 12cm^{3} O_{2} \to 2 \times 12cm^{3} = 24cm^{3} H_{2}\)

\(\text{Excess of Hydrogen} : 35 cm^{3} - 24 cm^{3} = 11 cm^{3}\)

\(\text{% Hydrogen left after the reaction} = \frac{11}{35} \times 100% = \frac{220}{7} = 31.48% \)

\(\approxeq 31% \)
