Copper sulphate solution is electolysed using platinum electrodes A. current of 0.193 amperes is passed for 2hrs. How many grams of copper are deposited? (cu = 63.5, F = 96500 coulombs)

Detalhes da Resposta

Time = 2hrs 120mm = 120 x 60secs

current = 0.193amps

Quantity of electricity = 120 x 0.193

= 60 x 23.16

96,500 deposits 63.5 gms of Cu

60 x 23.2 will deposit $\frac{63.5\times 60\times 23.2}{96500}$

= 0.457

A certain volume of gas at 298k is heated such that its volume and pressure are now four times the original values. What is the new temperature?

Detalhes da Resposta

$\frac{P_1{V}_1}{T_1}=\frac{4P_1\times 4V_1}{T_2}$

i.e $\frac{P_1{V}_1}{298}=\frac{4P_1\times 4V_1}{T_2}$

T2 = $\frac{298\times 4P_1\times 4V_1}{P_1{V}_1}$

An organic compound contains 72% carbon, 12% hydrogen and 16% oxygen by mass. The empirical formula of the compound is

Detalhes da Resposta

carbon = 72%, hydrogen = 12%, 16%

Dividing by the atomic weight we have for C = $\frac{5}{1}$ = 6

H = $\frac{12}{1}$ = 12

O = $\frac{16}{16}$ = 1

Divide by the smallest number, we have = $\frac{6}{1}$ = 6

H = $\frac{12}{1}$ = 12

O = $\frac{1}{1}$ = 1

The formula is C6H12O
