3. 1120 ml of ozonised oxygen (O2 + O3) at 1 atm & 273K weighs 1.76 gm. The
reduction in volume on passing this through alkaline pyrogallol solution is –

(1) 896 ml (2) 224 ml (3) 448 ml (4) 672 ml

Ans. (896)

Sol. Total moles of gases = 1120/22400

= 1/20
Let mass of O2 is = x gm
1/20= x/32 + (1.76-x)/48
x = 1.28 gm
moles of oxygen = 0.04
volume of oxygen at 1 atm 273 K is = 0.04*22400= 896

4. 50 gm of 109 % oleum is mixed with 50gm of another 118% oleum. Calculate the

Sol. 109% oleum means ® 109 gm H2SO4 from 100 gm oleum

109
\ 50gm oleum produces = ´ 50 = 54.5

6. If 340 g. of mixture of N2 and H2 in their stoichiometric ratio gave a 20% yield of NH3.
The produced mass of NH3 would be

Ans (68)
Sol. Let number of moles of N2 = a
& number of moles of H2 = b
Since It is given that N2 & H2 are present
in stoichiometric ratio
\ b = 3a
Mass of mixture = Mass of N2 + Mass of H2
= 28a + 3a × 2
Ǟ 340 = 28 a + 6a
Ǟ 34 a = 340
Ǟ a = 10 moles
