To find formulae of a compound if we titrate `NH_(3)` in the compound with standardized acid. `Cr(NH_(3))_(x)Cl_(3)(aq)+xHCl(aq)rarrxNH_(4)^(+)(aq)+Cr^(3+)(aq)+(x+3)Cl^(-)(aq)` Assume that 20ml of 1.5 MHCl is used to titrate 1.3025 gm of `Cr(NH_(3))_(x)Cl_(3)` what is value of x. Express your answer as the nearest integer value.

Answer» 20ml 1.5MHCl
`rArr 20xx1.5xx10^(-3)=0.03` mol HCl
moles of `Cr(NH_(3))_(x)Cl_(3)=("moles of HCl")/(x)`
`=(0.03)/(x)`
so `(0.03)/(x)=(1.3025)/(55+106.5+17x)`
`0.51x +4.845-1.3025x`
`4.845=(1.3025-0.51)x`
`4.845=0.7925x`
`x=(4.845)/(0.7925)=6.11`

Explain while loop structure with an example.

Answer»

A while loop statement repeatedly executes a statement or sequence of statements written within the flower brackets as long as a given condition returns the value ‘true’.

Syntax:

The syntax of a while loop in C++ is: while(condition)

{

statement(s);

}

Here the condition may be any expression, and true for any non zero value. The loop iterates while the condition is true. When the condition becomes false, program control passes to the line immediately following the loop. During the first attempt, when the condition is tested and the result is false, the loop body will be skipped and the first statement after the while loop will be executed.

Example:

#include<iostream>

int main ()

{\

int a = 10;

while(a<15)

{

cout<<"value of a:"<<a<<endl;

a++;

}

return 0;

}

when the above code is executed,it produces the following result:

value of a : 10

value of a : 11

value of a : 12

value of a : 13

value of a : 14

Explain the working of functions with arguments and no return values.

Answer»

The calling function main() gives the function call to the called function by passing arguments or values. Then the called function takes the values and performs the calculations and gives the output in itself but no value will be sent back to the calling function.

For example,

#include <iostream>

void sum (int x,int y)

{

int sum;

sum = x + y;

cout<<"The sum is "<<sum;

}

void main()

{

void main()

{

void sum (int x, int y)

int a,b;

cout <<"enter the two number";

cin>>a>b;

sum (a,b);

}

In the above example, sum() is a user defined function. main() is a calling function gives a function call sum (a, b); with actual arguments a, b. The copy of values of a and b are sent to formal arguments x and y in the called function stim().

The function sum() perform addition and gives the result on the screen by itself. Here no value is sent back to calling function main() can be observed. These kinds of functions are called “Function with argument but no return values”.
