Calculate the mass of chlorine gas which occupies a volume of 1.12dm3 at s.t.p
[Cl = 35.5, molar volume of gas at s.t.p = 22.4 dm3

A.

15.50 g

B.

7.10 g

C.

3.55 g

D.

1.80 g

Correct answer is C

2 * 35.5g of chlorine has a volume of 22.4 dm3 at s.t.p
xg of chlorine will have a volume of 1.12 dm3
x = (1.12 * 35.5 * 2)/22.4 = 3.55g

The oxidation state of oxygen in tetraoxosulphate (VI) acid is

A.

-4

B.

-2

C.

+4

D.

-8

Correct answer is B

H2SO4
(O.N of hydrogen * 2 ) + O.N of sulphur + O.N of oxygen * 4 = 0
∴ 1 * 2 + 6 + 4x = 0
2 + 6 + 4x = 0
8 + 4x = 0
4x 0 - 8 = -8
4x = -8
x = -8/4 = -2

Calculate the number of moles of HCl present in 20cm3 of a 0.75M solution of the acid

A.

0.015 mole

B.

0.038 mole

C.

3.800 moles

D.

1.500 moles

Correct answer is A

Number of moles = (conc. in mol/dm3*volume in cm3)/1000
(0.75 * 20)/100 = 0.015 mole
