IIT-JEE-Chemistry-Final Revision Set No.48

1. In the Contact process for industrial manufacture of sulphuric acid, some amount of sulphuric acid is used as a starting material. Explain briefly. What is the catalyst used in the oxidation of SO2?

2. Explain why o-hydroxybenzaldehyde is a liquid at room temperature while
p-hydroxybenzaldehyde is a high melting solid.

3. A plant virus is found to consist of uniform cylindrical particles of 150 A in diameter and 5000 A long. The specific volume of the virus is 0.75 cm3/g.
If the virus is considered to be a single particle, find its molar mass.

4. When 3.06 g of solid NH4HS is introduced into a two-litre evacuated flask at 27°C, 30% of the solid decomposes into gaseous ammonia and hydrogen sulphide.
(i) Calculate Kc and Kp for the reaction at 27°C.

5. One mole of nitrogen gas at 0.8 atm takes 38 s to diffuse through a pinhole, whereas one mole of an unknown compound of xenon with fluorine at 1.6 atm takes 57s to diffuse through the same hole. Calculate the molecular formula of the compound.
