Multiple choice chemistry introduction to analytical chemistry interpreting a balanced chemical reaction percentage yield stoichiometric calculations

$0.5\ g$ of impure ammonium chloride was heated with caustic soda solution to evolve ammonia gas, the gas is absorbed in $150\ mL$ of $N/5\ H _{2}SO _{4}$ solution. Excess sulphuric acid required $20\ mL$ of $1\ N\ NaOH$ for complete neutralization. The percentage of $NH _{3}$ in the ammonium chloride is:

  1. $68$%
  2. $34$%
  3. $48$%
  4. $17$%
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

$(NH _3)Cl+NaOH\rightarrow +NH _3\uparrow +H _2O$

excess $H _2SO _4$ reg. $20ml$ of $1N\,\,NaOH$
$\Rightarrow $ moles of $H _2SO _4=(20\times 1)milimoles$
                                 $=20m\,mol$
added amount of $H _2SO _4=\dfrac{N}{5}\times 150ml=30mmol$
amount of $h _2so _4$ reacted with $nh _3=0.01MOLE$
$\Rightarrow 0.01\, mole$ of $NH _3$ present in $(NH _4)Cl$
So, $\%purity=\dfrac{(0.01)\times 17}{0.5}\times 100=34\%$

A sample of $CaCO _3$ is 50% pure. On heating $1.12 L$ of $CO _2$ (at STP) is obtained. Residue left (assuming non-volatile impurity) is

  1. 7.8 g

  2. 3.8 g

  3. 2.8 g

  4. 8.9 g
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Solution:- (A) $7.8 \; g$

Volume of $C{O} _{2}$ formed $= 1.12 \; L$
At STP, volume of $1$ mole of gas $= 22.4 \; L$
$\therefore$ No. of moles of $C{O} _{2}$ formed $= \cfrac{1.12}{22.4} = 0.05 \text{ mol}$
Heating of $CaC{O} _{3}$-

$CaC{O} _{3} \longrightarrow CaO + C{O} _{2}$
From the above reaction,
$1$ mole of $C{O} _{2}$ is formed on heating $1$ mole of $CaC{O} _{3}$.
Therefore,
$0.05$ mole of $C{O} _{2}$ is formed on heating $0.05$ mole of $CaC{O} _{3}$.

Molecular weight of $CaC{O} _{3} = 100 \; g$
$\therefore$ Weight of $CaC{O} _{3} = 0.05 \times 100 = 5 \; g$
As the sample was $50 \%$ pure.
Thus the $50 \%$ of the sample was heated in the form of $CaC{O} _{3}$.
Amount of sample left unreacted $= 5 \; g$
Also,
No. of moles of $CaO$ formed $= 0.05$
Molecular weight of $CaO = 56 \; g$
Weight of $CaO = 56 \times 0.05 = 2.8 \; g$
Therefore,
Amount of residue left $= 5 + 2.8 = 7.8 \; g$

Multiple choice chemistry introduction to analytical chemistry interpreting a balanced chemical reaction percentage yield stoichiometric calculations

One mole of photons is known as one Einstein of radiation. According to Stark-Einstein law of photochemical equivalence, one mole of reactant absorbs one Einstien of energy. For a photochemical reaction, a term called quantum yield is defined as:
Quantum yield $ (\phi) = \dfrac {No. \,of \,moles \,of \,reactant \,converted} {No. \,of \,Einstein \,absorbed} $
The correct statement(s) is/are:

  1. for a chain reaction $\phi _{gas} >> \phi _{solution}$
  2. in a photochemical chain reaction $\phi >> 1$
  3. in a photochemical chain reaction $\phi << 1$
  4. for a chain reaction $\phi _{gas} << \phi _{solution}$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A,B Correct answer
Explanation
$Quantum \ Yield= \cfrac {Number \ of \ moles \ of \ reactant \ converted}{Number \ of \ einstein \ absorbed}$
An einstein of radiation $=$ one mole of photons
For a chain reaction, $\phi _{gas} >> \phi _{solution}$
and ln photochemical chain reaction $\phi >>1$

A Correct answer
Explanation

No. of moles of $CO _2$ evolved $=\cfrac{1.12}{22.4}=0.05$ $moles$

$CaCO _3(s)\overset { \Delta }{ \longrightarrow } CaO\downarrow+CO _2\uparrow$
                             $0.05$        $0.05$ $moles$

Total weight $=2\times 5$ $gm=10$ $gm$
Residue left by $CaCO _3=5$ $gm$
Residue left by $CaO=56\times 0.05=2.8$ $gm$
Toatl residue $=5+2.8=7.8$ $gm$

Multiple choice chemistry introduction to analytical chemistry percent composition water of crystallisation percentage composition and empirical formula

The formula for % composition of a compound is:

  1. molar mass of a compound/mass due to specific component $\times$ 100
  2. mass due to specific component $\times$ 100
  3. mass due to specific component/molar mass of a compound $\times$ 100
  4. molar mass of a specific component/temperature $\times$ 100
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

To calculate the per cent composition of a component in a compound: Find the molar mass of the compound by adding up the masses of each atom in the compound using the periodic table or a molecular mass calculator. Calculate the mass due to the component in the compound you are for which you are solving by adding up the mass of these atoms. Divide the mass due to the component by the total molar mass of the compound and multiply by 100.

% $\text{composition of a compound}=\cfrac{\text{ Mass due to specific component}}{\text{molar mass of a compound}}\times 100$

Hence, the correct option is $\text{C}$
