            Question 22: An acidic solution of dichromate is electrolyzed for 8 minutes using 2A current. As per the following equation

            Cr2O72- + 14H+ + 6e → 2Cr3+ + + 7H2O

            The amount of Cr3+ obtained was 0.104 g. The efficiency of the process (in %) is (Take: F = 96000 C, At. mass of chromium = 52) _______.

              Solution:

              1. Answer: 60 %

                [moles of Cr3+] × 3 = [8 × 60 × 2] / 96000

                Moles of Cr3+ = [8 × 4] / 9600 = (1 / 300) mol

                Mass of Cr3+ = (52 / 300) g

                % efficiency = {[Actual obtained amount] / [Theoretical obtained amount]} * 100

                = [(0.104 / (52 / 100)) * 100]

                = 30 * (104 / 52)

                = 60%


              Question 23: If 250 cm3 of an aqueous solution containing 0.73 g of a protein A is isotonic with one litre of another aqueous solution containing 1.65 g of a protein B, at 298 K, the ratio of the molecular masses of A and B is ______ × 10–2 (to the nearest integer).

                Solution:

                1. Answer: 177

                  [0.73 / MA] × [1000 / 250] = 1.65 / MB

                  [MA / MB] = [73 × 4] / 165 = 1.769

                  = 176.9 × 10–2

                  = 177 × 10–2

                  Solution:

                  1. Answer: 25

                    Mol. wt of ‘x’ = {10 / [6.023 × 1022]} × 6.023 × 1023

                    M = [5 / 100] / 2 = [(5 / 200) * 1000] × 10-3

                    M = 25 × 10–3 mol/lit
