CO(g) and H2 (g) react to give different products in the presence of different catalysts. Which ability of the catalyst is shown by these reactions?
Analysis shows that FeO has a non-stoichiometric composition with formula Fe0.95O. Give reason.
The non-stoichiometry reflect the ease of oxidation of Fe2+ to Fe3+ effectively replacing a small portion of Fe2+ with two thirds their number of Fe3+. Thus for every three "missing" Fe2+ ions, the crystal contains two Fe3+ ions to balance the charge. i.e. 3Fe2+ = 2Fe3+ to maintain electrical neutrality.
For the reaction, the rate of formation of NO2 (g) is 2.8 x 10-3 Ms-1. Calculate the rate of disappearance of N2O5 (g).
Among the hydrides of Group-15 elements, which have the
Calculate the freezing point of a solution containing 60 g of glucose (Molar mass = 180 g mol–1) in 250 g of water.
(Kf of water = 1.86 K kg mol–1)
An element ‘X’ (At. mass = 40 g mol–1) having f.c.c. the structure has a unit cell edge length of 400 pm. Calculate the density of ‘X’ and the number of unit cells in 4 g of ‘X’. (NA = 6.022 × 1023 mol–1 )
Give reasons for the following :
Measurement of osmotic pressure method is preferred for the determination of molar masses of macromolecules such as proteins and polymers.
