For the redox reaction:
$$MnO_4^ - + {C_2}O_4^{ - 2} + {H^ + }$$ $$ \to M{n^{2 + }} + C{O_2} + {H_2}O$$
The correct coefficients of the reactants for the balanced
reaction are
A 2.0 g sample of a mixture containing sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate and sodium suplphate is gently heated till the evolution of CO2 ceases. The volume of CO2 at 750 mm Hg pressure and at 298K is measured to be 123.9 ml. A 1.5g of the same sample requires 150 ml. of (M/10) HCl for complete neutralisation. Calculate the % composition of the components of the mixture.
Answer
(A)
Na₂CO₃ - 26.5%, NaHCO₃ - 42%, Na₂SO₄ - 31.5%

One gram of commercial AgNO3 is dissolved in 50 ml. of water. It is treated with 50 ml. of a KI solution. The silver iodide thus precipitated is filtered off. Excess of KI in the filterate is titrated with (M/10) KIO3 solution in presence of 6M HCl till all I- ions are converted into ICl. It requires 50 ml. of (M/10) KIO3 solution. 20 ml. of the same stock solution of KI requires 30 ml. of (M/10) KIO3 under similar conditions. Calculate the percentage of AgNO3 in the sample.
(Reaction : KIO3 + 2KI + 6HCl $$\to$$ 3ICl + 3KCl + 3H2O)

At 27oC, hydrogen is leaked through a tiny hole into a vessel for 20 minutes. Another unknown gas at the same temperature and pressure as that of H2 is leaked through the same hole for 20 minutes After the effusion of the gases the mixture exerts a pressure of 6 atmosphere. The hydrogen content of the mixture is 0.7 mole. If the volume of ther container is 3 litres, what is the molecular weight of the unknown gas?
Answer
1033

At room temperature the following reacton is procedd nearly to completion:
2NO + O2 $$\to$$ 2NO2 $$\to$$ N2O4
The dimer, N2O4, solidifies at 262 K. A 250 ml flask and a 100 ml flask are separated by a stop-cock. At 300 K, the nitric oxide in the larger flask exerts a pressure of 1.053 atm. and the smaller one contains oxygen at 0.789 atm. The gases are mixed by the opening stopcock and after the end of raction the flasks are cooled at 220K. Neglecting the vapour pressure of the dimer, find out the pressure and composition of the gas remaining at 220 K. (Assume the gases to behave ideally)
Answer
(B)
0. 221 atm of NO, 0.0043 mol of NO

For the galvanic cell
Ag | AgCl(s), KCl (0.2M) || KBr (0.001M), AgBr(s) | Ag
Calculate the EMF generated and assign correct polarity to each electrode for a spontaneous process after taking into account the cell reaction at 25oC.
[Ksp(AgCl) = 2.8 $$times$$ 10-10; Ksp(AgBr) = 3.3 $$times$$ 10-13]
Answer
(E)
0.037 V; Ag | AgCl(s), KCl (0.2M) is negative and AgBr (0.001M), Ag | Ag is positive

An aqueous solution of NaCl on electrolysis gives H2(g), Cl2(g) and NaOH according to the reaction:
2Cl- (aq) + 2H2O = 2OH- (aq) + H2 (g) + Cl2 (g)
A direct current of 25 amperes with a current efficiency of 62 % is passed through 20 litres of NaCl solution (20% by weight). Write down the reactions taking place at the anode and cathode. How long will it take to produce 1kg of Cl2? What will be the molarity of the solution with respect to hydroxide ion? (Assume no loss due to evaporation)
