An alkali is titrated against an acid with methyl orange as indicator, which of the following is a correct combination?

  • Base Acid End Point
    Strong  Strong Pink to colourless
  • Base Acid End Point
    Weak  Strong Colourless to pink
  • Base Acid End Point
    Strong  Strong Pinkish Red to Yellow
  •  

    Base Acid End Point
    Weak Strong Yellow to Pinkish Red

Solution

D.

 

Base Acid End Point
Weak Strong Yellow to Pinkish Red

Methyl orange is the weak organic base. It is used in the titration of WB vs SA

MeOHUnionized form Yellow  Me+ Ionized form (Red)+ OH-

In a basic medium, equilibrium lies in the backward direction and therefore it shows yellow colour.

In acidic medium, equilibrium shifts in forwarding direction and therefore, colour changes from yellow to red.

The predominant form of histamine present in human blood is (pKa, Histidine = 6.0)

Solution

A.

The N-atoms present in the ring will have the same pKa values (6.0), while N atom outside the ring will have different pKa value (pKa > 7.4)

Therefore, two N-atoms inside the ring will remain in the unprotonated form in human blood because of their pKa(6.0) < pH of blood (7.4), while the N-atom outside the ring will remain in protonated form because of its pKa > pH of blood (7.4).

Which of the following lines correctly show the temperature dependence of equilibrium constant K, for an exothermic reaction?

  • A and D

  • A and B

  • B and C

  • C and D

Solution

B.

A and B

G° = - RT ln KH° - TS° = - RT ln K-H°RT+S°R = ln K

Therefore ln K vs 1/T the graph will be a straight line with slope equal to -H°R.Since reaction is
exothermic, therefore H° itself will be negative resulting in positive slope.

Question

The combustion of benzene (l) gives CO2(g) and H2O(l). Given that heat of combustion of benzene at constant volume is –3263.9 kJ mol–1 at 250C; the heat of combustion (in kJ mol–1) of benzene at constant pressure will be (R = 8.314 JK–1 mol–1)

  • –3267.6

  • 4152.6

  • –452.46

  • 3260

Solution

A.

–3267.6

C6H6 (l) + 152 O2 (g)  6CO2 (g) +3H2O (l)  

Δng = 6 - 7.5
= -1.5 (change in gaseous mole)
ΔU or ΔE = - 3263.9 kJ
ΔH = ΔU + ΔngRT
Δng = - 1.5
R = 8.314 JK-1 mol-1
T = 298 K
So ΔH = -3263.9 + (-1.5) 8.314 x 10-3 x 298
= -3267.6 kJ
ΔH = Heat at constant pressure
ΔU/ΔE = Heat at constant volume
R = gas constant

The ratio of mass percent of C and H of an organic compound (CXHYOZ) is 6: 1. If one molecule of the above compound (CXHYOZ) contains half as much oxygen as required to burn one molecule of compound CXHY completely to CO2 and H2O. The empirical formula of compound CXHYOZ is

  • C2H4O3

  • C3H6O3

  • C2H4O

  • C3H4O2

Solution

A.

C2H4O3

The ratio of mass % of C and H in CxHyOz is 6: 1.
Therefore,
The ratio of mole % of C and H in CxHyOz will be 1: 2.
Therefore x : y = 1 : 2, which is possible in options 1, 2 and 3.
Now oxygen required to burn CxHy

CxHy + x + y4O2      xCO2 + y2H2O

Now z is half of the oxygen atoms required to burn CxHy

 z = (2x +y2)2 = x + y4

Now putting values of x and y from the given options:
Option (1), x = 2, y = 4

z = 2 + 44 = 3Option 2, x = 3, y = 6z = 3 + 64 = 4.5Therefore correnct (C2H4O3)
