Multiple Choice Questions

Question 1: The density of a sample of \( SO_3 \) gas is 2.5 g/L at 0 degrees C and 1 atm. Its degree of dissociation into \( SO_2 \) and \( O_2 \) gases is
(a) \( \frac{6}{7} \)
(b) \( \frac{1}{7} \)
(c) \( \frac{3}{7} \)
(d) \( \frac{5}{7} \)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) \( \frac{6}{7} \)

Explanation:
1. Mixture molar mass = 2.5 x 22.4 = 56.
2. \( SO_3 \to SO_2 + \tfrac12 O_2 \), so moles become 1 + a/2.
3. 80/(1 + a/2) = 56 gives a/2 = 3/7, so a = 6/7.

Teacher's Note:
1. Density at STP times 22.4 gives molar mass of the mixture.

Question 2: Iodobenzene is prepared from aniline in two steps: \( C_6H_5NH_2 + HNO_2 + HCl \to C_6H_5N_2^+Cl^- + 2H_2O \) and \( C_6H_5N_2^+Cl^- + KI \to C_6H_5I + N_2 + KCl \). In an actual preparation 9.30 g of aniline was converted to 16.32 g of iodobenzene. The percentage yield is (I = 127)
(a) 8%
(b) 50%
(c) 75%
(d) 80%
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) 80%

Explanation:
1. Aniline 9.30/93 = 0.1 mol, so theoretical iodobenzene = 0.1 mol x 204 = 20.4 g.
2. Yield = 16.32/20.4 x 100 = 80%.

Teacher's Note:
1. Percentage yield = actual / theoretical x 100.

Question 3: Polyethene can be prepared from \( CaC_2 \): \( CaC_2 + H_2O \to CaO + C_2H_2 \); \( C_2H_2 + H_2 \to C_2H_4 \); \( nC_2H_4 \to (C_2H_4)_n \). The mass in kg of polythene that can be prepared from 20 kg \( CaC_2 \) is
(a) 4.1 kg
(b) 8.75 kg
(c) 3.78 kg
(d) 10 kg
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) 8.75 kg

Explanation:
1. 20 kg \( CaC_2 \) = 20000/64 = 312.5 mol.
2. Each mole gives one mole of \( C_2H_4 \) (28 g).
3. Polymer = 312.5 x 28 = 8750 g = 8.75 kg.

Teacher's Note:
1. Follow one mole through the chain; the ratio is 1 : 1 at each stage.

Question 4: A commercial system removes \( SO_2 \) from smoke by: \( SO_2 + Cl_2 \to SO_2Cl_2 \); \( SO_2Cl_2 + 2H_2O \to H_2SO_4 + 2HCl \); \( H_2SO_4 + Ca(OH)_2 \to CaSO_4 + 2H_2O \). Assuming the process is 95% efficient, how many moles of \( CaSO_4 \) may be produced from 128 g \( SO_2 \)? (Ca = 40, S = 32, O = 16)
(a) 1.9 moles
(b) 2 mol
(c) 3.8 mol
(d) 0.95 mol
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) 1.9 moles

Explanation:
1. 128 g \( SO_2 \) = 2 mol.
2. The three steps are 1 : 1 : 1, so 2 mol \( CaSO_4 \) at 100%.
3. At 95% efficiency: 1.9 mol.

Teacher's Note:
1. The overall conversion is 1 mol SO2 to 1 mol CaSO4. Then apply the efficiency.

Question 5: Equal masses of \( KClO_3 \) undergo different reactions in two containers: (i) \( 2KClO_3 \to 2KCl + 3O_2 \); (ii) \( 4KClO_3 \to KCl + 3KClO_4 \). The mass ratio of KCl produced in the respective reactions is x : 1. The value of x is
(a) 4
(b) 2
(c) 0.25
(d) 3
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) 4

Explanation:
1. Take n mol \( KClO_3 \). In (i) KCl = n mol.
2. In (ii) KCl = n/4 mol.
3. Ratio = n : n/4 = 4 : 1, so x = 4.

Teacher's Note:
1. The same compound is formed, so the mole ratio equals the mass ratio.

Question 6: 13.4 g of a sample of an unstable hydrated salt \( Na_2SO_4\cdot xH_2O \) was strongly heated. The weight loss on heating is 6.3 g. The value of x is
(a) 6
(b) 5
(c) 7
(d) 8
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (c) 7

Explanation:
1. Water lost = 6.3 g = 0.35 mol.
2. Anhydrous \( Na_2SO_4 \) = 13.4 - 6.3 = 7.1 g = 0.05 mol (142 g/mol).
3. x = 0.35/0.05 = 7.

Teacher's Note:
1. Moles of water divided by moles of anhydrous salt gives x.

Question 14: One gram of the silver salt of an organic dibasic acid yields, on strong heating, 0.6 g of silver. Determine the molecular formula of the acid. (Atomic weight of Ag = 108)
(a) \( C_4H_6O_4 \)
(b) \( C_4H_6O_6 \)
(c) \( C_2H_6O_2 \)
(d) \( C_5H_6O_5 \)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) \( C_5H_6O_5 \)

Explanation:
1. The dibasic acid forms \( Ag_2 \)-salt: 216 g of Ag per mole of salt.
2. 216/M = 0.6, so M(salt) = 360.
3. Acid = 360 - 216 + 2 = 146, which matches \( C_5H_6O_5 \) (60 + 6 + 80 = 146).

Teacher's Note:
1. Replace two Ag by two H to go from the salt to the acid.

Question 15: The weight of \( 2.01\times10^{23} \) molecules of CO is

Question 20: 1 gram of a carbonate (\( M_2CO_3 \)) on treatment with excess HCl produces 0.01186 mole of \( CO_2 \). The molar mass of \( M_2CO_3 \) in g/mol is
(a) 1186
(b) 84.3
(c) 118.6
(d) 11.86
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) 84.3

Explanation:
1. One mole of \( M_2CO_3 \) gives one mole of \( CO_2 \).
2. Molar mass = 1/0.01186 = 84.3 g/mol.

Teacher's Note:
1. Mass divided by moles gives molar mass.

Question 21: The ratio of mass percent of C and H of an organic compound (\( C_XH_YO_Z \)) is 6 : 1. If one molecule of the compound contains half as much oxygen as required to burn one molecule of \( C_XH_Y \) completely to \( CO_2 \) and \( H_2O \), the empirical formula of \( C_XH_YO_Z \) is
(a) \( C_2H_4O \)
(b) \( C_3H_4O_2 \)
(c) \( C_2H_4O_3 \)
(d) \( C_3H_6O_3 \)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (c) \( C_2H_4O_3 \)

Explanation:
1. Mass ratio C : H = 6 : 1 gives atom ratio x : y = 6/12 : 1 = 1 : 2, so y = 2x.
2. Burning \( C_XH_Y \) needs x + y/4 = 1.5x molecules of \( O_2 \), which is 3x atoms of O.
3. Half of this gives z = 1.5x. For x = 2: y = 4 and z = 3, so \( C_2H_4O_3 \).

Teacher's Note:
1. Use the two conditions to get x : y : z = 2 : 4 : 3.
