Solution

The correct option is C (i) 9.52 mmol, (ii) 0.43 mol
(i)
Let x be the number of gram moles of hydrated ferric sulphate in mixture.
The molar mass of hydrated ferric sulphate Fe2(SO4)3.9H2O is 562 g/mol. The mass of hydrated ferric sulphate will be 562x grams.
Total mass of mixture is 5.5 g.
The mass of hydrated ferrous sulphate will be 5.5562x grams. The molar mass of hydrated ferrous sulphate is 278 g/mol. The number of moles of hydrated ferrous sulphate will be
5.5562x278
This is equal to the number of moles of ferrous ions that can be oxidised by potassium permanganate.
5.4 mL of 0.1 N potassium permanganate are used.
Hence, number of g eq of potassium permanganate
=0.1geq/L×5.4ml1000ml/L=0.00054 geq. They are also equal to the number of g eq of ferrous ions. They are also equal to number of moles of ferrous ions.
5.5562x278=0.00054
5.5562x=0.15012
562x=5.349
x=9.52×103 moles =9.52 mmol.
Because 1 mole = 1000 mmol.
(ii) Let 100 g of mixture contains x moles of NO2
The molecular weight of NO2 is 46 g/mol. The mass of x moles will be 46 x grams.
The mixture will contains 10046x grams of N2O4
N2O4 has molecular weigh of 92 g/mol. The number of moles of N2O4=10046x92g/mol
The average molecular mass of the mixture is
46x+92(10046x92)x+10046x92
=100x+10046x92
=920092x+10046x
=920046x+100....(1)
The vapour density of the mixture is 38.3. Its molecular weight is twice its vapour density. It is 2×38.3=76.6 g/mol ..... (2)
(1) = (2)
920046x+100=76.6
120.1=46x+100
46x=20.1
x=0.437 mol.
The number of moles of NO2 is 0.437.
