Consider the following reaction equation:
SO42-(aq) + 2H+(aq) + ye- \(\to\) SO42-(aq) + H2O(1).

The value of y in the equation is

A.

2

B.

3

C.

4

D.

6

Correct answer is A

From the reaction, the total charge on the left side = The total charge on the right side

-2 + 2 + y = -2 : y = -2 : y = 2

The number of oxygen molecules present in 16.0g of the gas is ______?
[Avogadro's number = 6.02 x 1023]

A.

6.02 x 1022

B.

6.02 x 1023

C.

3.01 x 1023

D.

1.51 x 1023

Correct answer is C

1 mole = Molar mass of gas = Avogadros number
32g of O2 = 6.02 x 1023
16g of O2 = x
x = \(\frac{16 \times 6.02 \times 10^23}{32}\) = 3.01 x 1023

Consider the following reaction equation:
C2H4(g) + 3O2(g) \(\to\) 2CO2(g) + 2H2O(g)

The volume of CO2(g) produced at s.t.p when 0.05 moles of C2H4(g) was burnt in O2(g) is
[Molar Volume of gas = 22.4dm3

A.

1.12dm3

B.

2.24dm3

C.

3.72dm3

D.

4.48dm3

Correct answer is B

\(\frac{\text{volume}}{\text{molar volume}}\) = 0.05

1 mole of ethane produces 2 moles of carbon(iv)oxide

∴ 0.05  mole of ethane will produce x moles of carbon(iv)oxide

= \(\frac{\text{volume}}{22.4}\) = 0.05 X 2 X 22.4 =  2.24dm\(_3\)
