Chlorine is prepared in the laboratory by treating manganase dioxide (MnO2) with aqueous hydrochloric acid according to the reaction, 4HCl(aq) + MnO2 (s) → 2H2O(l) + MnCl2(aq) + Cl2 (g) How many grams of HCl react with 5.0 g of manganese dioxide?(Atomic mass of Mn = 54.94 u) |
|
Answer» 1 mol of MnO2 , i.e., 54.94 + 32 = 86.94 g MnO2 react with 4 moles of HCl, i.e., 4 × 36.5 g = 146 g of HCl. ∴ Mass of HCl reacting with 5.0 g of MnO2 = \(\frac{146}{86.94}\times5g\) = 8.4g |

Calculate the molarity of a solution of ethnol in water in which the mole fraction of ethanol is `0.040`. |
|
Answer» `chi_(C_(2)H_(5)OH)=(n(C_(2)H_(5)OH))/(n(C_(2)H_(5)OH)+n(H_(2)O))=0.040` (Given) …(i) The aim is to find number of moles of ethnol in `1 L` of the solution which is nearly `=1 L` of water (because solution is dilute) Number of moles in `1 L` of water `=(1000 g)/(18 g mol^(-1))` `=55.55` moles Substituting `n(H_(2)O)=55.55` in equation (i) we get `(n(C_(2)H_(5)OH))/(n(C_(2)H_(5)OH)+55.55)=0.040` or `0.96 n(C_(2)H_(5)OH)=55.55xx0.040` or `n(C_(2)H_(5)OH)=2.31` Hence, molarity of the solution`=2.31 M` |

(i) State Avogadro's law with and example. (ii) Convert \( 37^{0} C \) into \( { }^{0} F \) scale. |
|
Answer» (i) Avogadro's law states that "equal volumes of all gases, at the same temperature and pressure, have the same number of molecules." For a given mass of an ideal gas, the volume and amount (moles) of the gas are directly proportional if the temperature and pressure are constant. (ii) The conversion formula for C to F is: F = C × (9/5) + 32 F = 37 × (9/5) + 32 = 7.4 × 9 + 32 = 66.6 + 32 = 98.6 Therefore, 37 degree Celsius is equal to 98.6 degree Fahrenheit. |

How does the period of 15 years for restoration of commuted portion of pension reckon? |
|
Answer» The 15-year period for restoration may be reckoned from the date of retirement itself only in case where the payment of commuted value of pension was/is made during the first month of retirement leading to appropriate reduction on account of commutation in the first pension itself. In all other cases, where the commutation of pension led/leads to a reduction in the second or subsequent month, the 15-year period will be reckoned from the date on which reduction in pension became/becomes effective. |
