Equal masses of iron and magnesium, in separate reactions with dilute H2SO4, gave 'x' g of hydrogen and 'y' g of hydrogen respectively. 'y' g of hydrogen is just sufficient to reduce 0.75molesofFe3O4. Value of 'x' and 'y' is:
A
x - 1.287 gm , y - 6 gm

Solution
The correct option is D x - 2.57 gm , y - 6 gm Fe3O4+4H2⟶3Fe+4H2O 1moleFe3O4⟶4molesH2 0.75moleFe3O4⟶4×0.75=3moles Fe+H2SO4⟶FeSO4+H2 Mg+H2SO4⟶MgSO4+H2
Hence, 3 moles of H2 required for reaction with Mg. 3molesofMg⟶72g 56gFe⟶1moleH2 72gFe⟶7256=1.28moles
Hence, 1.28 moles of H2 required for Fe. x=1.28×2=2.57g y=3×2=6g
