In a reaction: \(SnO_{2} + 2C → Sn + 2CO\) the mass of coke containing 80% carbon required to reduce 0.302 kg of pure tin oxide is?
(Sn - 119, O - 16, C - 12).

A.

0.40 kg

B.

0.20 kg

C.

0.06 kg

D.

0.04 kg

Correct answer is C

In the reaction: \(SnO_{2} + 2CO\)
From the equation above
2(12 g) carbon = 151 g \(SnO_{2}\)

24 g carbon =151 g \(SnO_{2}\)
= 0.302 kg \(SnO_{2}\) = 24/151g χ 0.0302 kg carbon = 0.048 kg carbon

Mass of coke is required not mass of carbon,so it is (0.048\(\times\)100)\(\div\)80 = 0.06

Which of the following statements is true?

A.

Metals conduct electricity while non-metals do not

B.

Metals have high density, non-metals have low density

C.

Metals form basic oxides, non-metals form acidic oxides

D.

In the electro chemical series, metals are above hydrogen while non-metals are below hydrogen

E.

Metals lose elections while non-metals gain electron during chemical reactions

Correct answer is E

- Chemical reactions in which electrons are transferred are called oxidation-reduction, or redox, reactions. Oxidation is the loss of electrons. Reduction is the gain of electrons. Oxidation and reduction always occur together, even though they can be written as separate chemical equations. -The most common reducing agents are metals, for they tend to lose electrons in their reactions with nonmetals. Option E is most appropriate.

B.

C.

The particles are in constant random motion

The particles are of negligible mass

E.

The particles collide with each other

Correct answer is D
