Question 23: The mass of ammonia in grams produced when 2.8 kg of dinitrogen quantitatively reacts with 1 kg of dihydrogen is _________.

Answer: 3400

N2 + 3H2 → 2NH3

2800g 1000g

Question 24: If 75% of a first order reaction was completed in 90 minutes, 60% of the same reaction would be completed in approximately (in minutes) ________. (take : log 2 = 0.30; log 2.5 = 0.40)

Answer: 60

t75% = 90 min = 2 × t1/2

t1/2 = 45 min

[ln (2) / 45] × 60% = ln [100 / 40]

t60% = 45 × [0.4 / 0.3]

t60% = 60 min

Question 25: A 20.0 mL solution containing 0.2 g impure H2O2 reacts completely with 0.316 g of KMnO4 in acid solution. The purity of H2O2 (in %) is _______ (mol. wt. of H2O2 = 34’ mole wt. of KMnO4 = 158)

Answer: 85

H2O2 + KMnO4 → Mn+2 + O2

[moles of H2O2] × 2 = [0.316 / 158] * 5

moles of H2O2 = 5 × 10–3

mass of H2O2 = 170 × 10–3 g

% purity = {[170 * 10-3] / 0.2} * 100 = 85%
