When the salt (C2H5)4N+Cl- is treated with hydrogen chloride a white ionic solid X is formed.
When X is dissolved in water a 20cm^3 sample of the solution requires 24cm^3 of 0.1moldm^-3 Naoh for neutralization.

Another 20cm^3 sample of the solution requires 48cm^3 of 0.1 moldm^-3 AgNO3 for complete precipitation of chloride of AgCl.

What do these data show the formula of the anion in X to be.
(A) HCl2- (b) HCl3^2-
(C) HCl4^3- (D) H2Cl3-
E H2Cl5^-3.

Correct answer is A

It's definitely B.

The only one out of those which can get Oxidized are B and C.. since it didn't decolourize Br2 it doesn't have a C=C double bond so it's not ethene. Answer is B.

In the context of the A level syllabus, only two acids can be oxidized, and that is methanoic acid and ethanedioic acid (COOHCOOH also knows as oxalic acid). In the presence of acidified aqueous KMNO4, it will be oxidized to produce carbon dioxide and water.
ethanoic acid is acetic acid so it cant be oxidized only ethanol can be oxidized and will not decolorize bromine water

littlecloud11,scouserlfc

No of moles of NaOH = 48/1000 * .1 = 2.4* 10^-3
one mole OH- ions react with one mole H+ ions. So the no. of moles of H+ ions present in the solution of X was 2.4* 10^-3

No of moles of AgNO3 = 48/1000* .1 = 4.8* 10^-3
One mole of Ag+ ions react with one mole of Cl- ions. So the no. of moles of Cl- ions in X is 4.8* 10^-3

Now find the ratio of H+ to Cl- ions
2.4* 10^-3/4.8* 10^-3 = 1:2
the only answer which follows this ratio is A.

To Identify oxide of nitrogen 0.1 mol of oxide is mixed with an excess of hydrogen and passed over a catalyst at suitable temperature
NxOy + H2 on heating with catalyst gives xNH3 +yH2O
the produced weighs 7.2g the ammonia produced is neutralized by 200cm^3 of 1.0 moldm^-3 Hcl
what is the formula of the oxide of nitrogen
tell me why the answer is N2O4

C2Cl4
it will be helpful if you draw the structure( C=C , and each has 2 Cl bonded) and this molecule is symmetrical so there's no difference between the electronegtaivities so no permanent dipole..
