Solutions and pH Chemistry Questions
C
Correct answer
Explanation
Milli eq. of HCl initially = 10 * 0.5 = 5.
Milli eq. of NaOH consumed = milli eq. of HCl in excess = 10 * 0.2 = 2
Therefore, milli eq. of HCl consumed = Millie q. of Ca(OH)2 = 5 – 2 =3
Therefore, eq. of Ca(OH)2 = (3 / 1000) = 3 * 10^–3
Mass of Ca(OH)2 = (3 * 10^–3) * (74 / 2) = 0.111 g% Ba(OH)2 = (0.111 / 10) * 100 = 1.11%; which is the required solution of the given problem. Hence, this is the correct option.

D
Correct answer
Explanation
Mass of 1 litre of H2SO4 solution = volume * density
= 1000 *1.84 g = 1840 g
= mass of H2SO4 present in 1 litre 96% H2SO4 solution
= (96 / 100) *1840 g = 1766.4 g
Or, strength of H2SO4 solution = 1766.4 g / litre
Or Normality (N) = (Strength (gL-1) / equivalent Mass)
= (1766.4 / 49) = 36.05 (N); which match with the given option, hence this is a correct option.

A
Correct answer
Explanation
The equiv. of H+ in 30 ml of (N / 2) HCl = (10 / 2) 10^–3
The equiv. of H+ in 30 ml of (N / 10) HNO3 = (30 / 10) * 10^–3
The equiv. of H+ in 75 ml of (N / 10) HNO3 = (75 / 5) * 10^–3.
Hence, total equiv. of H+ (5 + 3 + 15) * 10^–3 = 23 10^–3
Total volume of solution = 115 ml
Hence, normality of H+ in the resulting mixture = [(23 * 10^–3 * 10^3) / 115) (N) = (N / 5) = 0.2 (N).
Hence, this is a correct option.

[ca+2] = 80 ppm
-
[ca+2] = 244 ppm
-
[ca+2] = 180 ppm
-
[ca+2] = 8 ppm
B
Correct answer
Explanation
Mol. mass of CaCO3 = 100
Mol. mass of Ca = 40
20 mg of CaCO3 has ((40*20) / 100) = 8 mg of Ca+2 ions
Since, 8 mg of Ca+2 in 100 L sample of hard water. 10*1000 ml sample of hard water has 8 mg of Ca+2 therefore, 10^6 ml sample of hard water has 80 mg of Ca+2,i.e., 80 ppm, which is the required solution of the given problem. Hence, this is a correct option.

E
Correct answer
Explanation
Molecular mass of NaBrO3 = 151
Each bromate ion takes up 6 electrons; therefore
Eq. mass of NaBrO3 = Mol. mass / 6 = 151 / 6
Amount of NaBrO3 in 85.5 ml 0.672 N solution= (0.672 / 1000) * (151 / 6) * (85.5) g = 1.446 g.
Molarity = (Normality / nf) = 0.672 / 6 = 0.112 M.
Hence, this is a correct option.

C
Correct answer
Explanation
Mass of sugar = 34.2 g
No. of moles of sugar = (34.2 / Mol. mass) = 34.2 / 342 =0.1
Mass of water = (214.2 – 43.2) = 180 g = 0.18 kg
Molality (m) = (No. of moles of sugar / Mass of H2O in kg) = 0.1 / 0.18 = 0.555 m, which is the required solution of the given problem. Hence, this is a correct option.

D
Correct answer
Explanation
Let the final normality be N.
Total volume = (100 + 50 + 25) ml =175 ml
So, 175 * N = N1V1 + N2V2 + N3V3------(1)
Where, N1, N2, N3 are the normalities of H2SO4, HNO3 and HCl respectively.
And V1, V2, V3 are the volumes of H2SO4, HNO3 and HCl respectively.
Now, we have, 175 * N = ((100)(1 / 10)) + ((50)(1 / 2)) + ((25)* (1 / 5) = 40
therefore, N = 40 / 175 [where, N = normality of the mixture solution] = 0.2286, which is the required solution of the given problem, hence this is a correct option.

A
Correct answer
Explanation
In order to sediment free ribosomes, centrifugation requires 3,00,000 g.
B
Correct answer
Explanation
When a quantity like 'five millilitres' is treated as a single amount or measurement, it takes a singular verb. 'Seems' agrees with the singular idea of the amount, not the plural noun. 'Seem' would be incorrect here because we're focusing on the total quantity as one unit.

Explanation
N1V1(Initial) = N2V2 (After dilution)
10 × 10 = 0.1 × V2
or V2 = 1000 ml
So, volume of water needed = 1000 – 10 = 990 ml

D
Correct answer
Explanation
The isoelectric pH (pI) of leucine is approximately 6.0. This is calculated as the average of its carboxyl group pKa (~2.4) and amino group pKa (~9.6), giving pI = (2.4 + 9.6)/2 = 6.0. At this pH, leucine exists as a zwitterion with no net charge.
