(2015)

Options:

A. 3.5 g

B. 7 g

C. 14 g

D. 28 g
Answer: B

Solution:

Solution:
16.9% solution of AgN O3 means 16.9g of AgN O3 in 100 mL of solution.
16.9 g of AgN O3 in 100 mL solution = 8.45 g of AgN O3 in 50 mL solution.
Similarly, 5.8% of NaCl in 100 mL solution =2.9 g of NaCl in 50 mL solution.
The reaction can be represented as:
AgN O3 + N aCl –––––––– > AgCl + N aN O3
Initially 8.45/170 2.9/58.5 0 0

 ©

Options:

A. Mg, 0.16 g

B. O2 , 0.16 g

C. Mg, 0.44 g

D. O2 , 0.28 g

Answer: A

Solution:

Solution:
Given Data, 1.0g of magnesium is burnt with 0.56gO2
We know, the balanced chemical reaction of the above phenomena is as follows:
1
M g + O2 → M gO
2
We calculate the number of moles of each of the reactants is required, it is given by the formula Number of moles of a
Mass given
substance = .
Relative formula mass
The formula mass of M g and O2 are 24 and 32 moles respectively as per the chemical properties of magnesium and
1.0 0.56 0.5 0.07
oxygen. Hence, the number of moles of M g and O2 are and , i.e. and respectively.
24 32 12 4
Let us assume 'x' moles of M g is used up to form M gO, i.e. from the balanced equation, x moles of Magnesium is
x
reacted with moles of Oxygen to form x moles of Magnesium Oxide.
2
0.5
Hence after the reaction is over, the remaining amount of Magnesium M g is − x moles and the remaining amount of
12
0.07 x
oxygen is − moles.
4 2
But in this chemical reaction, oxygen is the limiting reagent, i.e. the reaction goes on until oxygen is available. The
reaction only ends after all the oxygen available is over. Hence the number of moles of left over oxygen must be equal to
0.07 x 0.07
zero, − = 0 ⇒x =
4 2 2
0.5 0.5 0.07 1 − 0.07 × 12 0.16
Therefore the number of moles of magnesium left over is −x⇒ − = moles ⇒ moles
12 12 2 24 24
Hence the mass of magnesium leftover = 0.16g
Thus, when 1.0g of magnesium is burnt with 0.56gO2 in a closed vessel, 0.16g magnesium is left in excess.

Reaction is as

Initial 1mol 0.5mol 0
Final (1 − 0.5) (0.5 − 0.5) 2 × 0.5

Here,Cl 2 is limiting reagent.So,1 mole of H Cl (g) is formed

B. 159.6
C. 79.8

D. 55.8

Answer: D

Solution:

Solution:
