The densities of two gases, X and Y are 0.5gdm-3 and 2.0gdm-3 respectively. What is the rate of diffusion of X relative to Y?

A.

0.1

B.

0.5

C.

2.0

D.

4.0

Correct answer is C

The rate of dimension of a gas inversely proportional to the square root of its molecular mass or its density, which is Graham's Law of diffusion of gas.

R ∝ \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{Mm}}\) or R ∝ \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{D}}\)

Dx = 0.5gdm-3, Dy = 2gdm-3

R= \(\frac{K}{\sqrt{D}}\)

R\(\sqrt{D}\) = k

R1\(\sqrt{D_1}\) = R1\(\sqrt{D_2}\)

Rx\(\sqrt{D_x}\) = Ry\(\sqrt{D_y}\)

\(\frac{R_x}{R_y}\) = \(\frac{\sqrt{D_y}}{\sqrt{D_x}}\)

= \(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{0.5}}\)

= 2.0

The reddish–brown rust on iron roofing sheets consists of

A.

Fe3 + (H2O)6

B.

FeO.H2O

C.

Fe2O3.XH2O

D.

Fe3O4.2H22O

Correct answer is C

Iron [Fe] reacts with H2 in the presence of oxygen to form a rust.

4Fe + 3O2 → 2 Fe2O2

Fe2O3 + H2O → Fe2O3.H2O

389.

2-ethylprop-1-ene

D.

2-methylbut-2-ene

Correct answer is B

CH2CH2 - CCH3CH2
Start the numbering from the terminal carbon.

Calculate the mass of copper deposited when a current of 0.5 ampere was passed through a solution of copper(II) chloride for 45 minutes in an electrolytic cell. [Cu = 64, F = 96500Cmol-1]

A.

0.300g

B.

0.250g

C.

0.2242g

D.

0.448g

Correct answer is D

M = \(\frac{\text{Molar mass × Quantity of Electricity}}{\text{96500 × no of charge}}\)

= \(\frac{MmIT}{96500n}\)

Copper II Chloride = CuCl2

CuCl2 → Cu2+ + 2Cl2

Mass of compound deposited = \(\frac{\text{Molar mass × Quantity of Electricity}}{\text{96500 × no of charge}}\)

Q = IT

I = 0.5A

T = 45 × 60

T = 2700s

Q = 0.5 × 2700

= 1350c

Molarmass = 64gmol-1

no of charge = + 2

Mass = \(\frac{64 \times 1350}{96500 \times 2}\)

Mass = 0.448g
