Question 22: An acidic solution of dichromate is electrolyzed for 8 minutes using 2A current. As per the following equation

Cr2O72- + 14H+ + 6e → 2Cr3+ + + 7H2O

The amount of Cr3+ obtained was 0.104 g. The efficiency of the process (in %) is (Take: F = 96000 C, At. mass of chromium = 52) _______.


Answer: 60 %

[moles of Cr3+] × 3 = [8 × 60 × 2] / 96000

Moles of Cr3+ = [8 × 4] / 9600 = (1 / 300) mol

Mass of Cr3+ = (52 / 300) g

% efficiency = {[Actual obtained amount] / [Theoretical obtained amount]} * 100

= [(0.104 / (52 / 100)) * 100]

= 30 * (104 / 52)

= 60%

Question 23: If 250 cm3 of an aqueous solution containing 0.73 g of a protein A is isotonic with one litre of another aqueous solution containing 1.65 g of a protein B, at 298 K, the ratio of the molecular masses of A and B is ______ × 10–2 (to the nearest integer).

Answer: 177

[0.73 / MA] × [1000 / 250] = 1.65 / MB

[MA / MB] = [73 × 4] / 165 = 1.769

= 176.9 × 10–2

= 177 × 10–2

Question 24: 6.023 × 1022 molecules are present in 10 g of a substance ‘x’. The molarity of a solution containing 5 g of substance ‘x’ in 2 L solution is _____ × 10–3.

Answer: 25

Mol. wt of ‘x’ = {10 / [6.023 × 1022]} × 6.023 × 1023

M = [5 / 100] / 2 = [(5 / 200) * 1000] × 10-3

M = 25 × 10–3 mol/lit
