# Question Ans
21.

Calculate the mass, in kilograms, of magnesium produced by the electrolysis of magnesium (II) chloride in a cell operating for 24 hours at 500 amperes.

A. 2.7

B. 5.4

C. 10.8

D. 21.7

Detailed Solution

Mg + 2e → 24 gms
2f → 24 gms
2 x 96,500 → 24 gms
Q = (500 x 1440 x 60)
Q = 4320000 C
1 mole of mg = (1) / (2 x 96,500) x (43200000) / (1)
= (24)/(1) = (1036800000) / (193000) = 5372.020725 gms
in leg = (5372.020725) / (1000) = 5.4 leg
22.

B. I2

C. S4O62-

D. I-

B

23.

MnO2 + 2CI- + 4H+ → MnO2+ + CI2 + 2H2O.

B. -1, -2, 4

C. -2, 1, 0

D. 2, 4, 0

C

24.

In which of the following is the entropy change positive?

A. H2O(I) → H2O(g)

B. Cu2+(aq) + Fe(s) → Fe(2+) + Cu(s)

C. N2(g) + 3H2(g) → 2NH3(g)

D. 2HCI(s) → H2(g) + CI2(g)

A

25.

In what way is equilibrium constant for the forward reaction related to that of the reversed reaction?

A. H2(g) + I2(g) ≈ 2HI(g)

B. 2NO2(g) ≈ N2O4(g)O4(g)N2O4(g)

C. PCI5(g) ≈ PCI3(g) + CI2(g)

D. ZnO(s) + CO2(g) ≈ ZnCO3(g)

D

27.

For a general equation of the nature xP + yQ ≈ mR + nS, the expression for the equilibrium constant is?

A. k (p)x (Q)y

B. (p)x (Q)y / (R)m (S)n

C. (R)m (S)n / (p)x (Q)y

28.

Which of these statements is TRUE about carbon (IV) oxide?

A. it supports combustion

B. It is strongly acidic in water

C. It is very soluble in water

D. It supports the buring of magnesium to produce magnesium oxide

Detailed Solution

Carbon(iv)oxide does not burn, nor support the combustion of most substance .
The intense heat produced by burning magnesium,
However, decomposes Carbon(iv)oxide to release oxygen for the further oxidation of magnesium.
Carbon(iv)oxide dissolves in water to form trioxocarbonate(iv) acid ( soda water).
