Ok so if you wrote the equation, you'd see that according to stoichiometry, 2 moles of NH3 is required to react with 1 mole of H2SO4. From this, you can get the no of moles of H2SO4

No of moles of H2SO4 required = 1/2 x 0.05(Found in the earlier part!) = 0.025 moles.

Now just apply to C = n/V

C= n/V

V = n/C

V = 0.025/0.5 x 1000 (I multiplied it by 1000 to convert it into cm^3)
V = 50 cm^3

OK?

can someone explain me this question
What is the electronic configuration of an element with a second ionisation energy higher than that of each of its neighbours in the Periodic Table?
A 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2
B 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p1
C 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p2
D 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p3

OK so the answer is B and the reason is the element must be from group 3
The second electron removed will be from sub-shell s which is nearer to the nucleus than p sub-shell. Hence its ionisation energy is higher than group 4 s and higher than group 2 s because it has a higher atomic number.

sulphuric acid is an oxidising agent. it is powerful enough to oxidise HBr to Br2 and HI to I2, but it cant oxidise HF and HCl

H2SO4 +HBr= Br2 +2H2O+SO2
H2SO4+HI=I2+2H2O+SO2

y must it belong from Group 3 because all atoms do not have 3 electrons in there outer shells. it must belong to period 3

why is A the right answer? :eek:
why would C decolourise AQueous BRomine?
Haven't we learnt that only alkene ( out of all the homologous series) decolourises aq bromine and it is a universal test for alkene as well:/

Hi please tell me why have we used the equation Fe 3+ + e -----> Fe 2+ in this question and not the equation of fe3+ given in data booklet?
Thanks

AS level or A2 ? Without making any delays , start solving the past papers...Refer the mark scheme .....Keep revising the organic part cz majority of the paper is based from that part so make sure you dont lose much of the marks from those questions.
Once you're done with these ,then start practising P5.

Bcz in the question its clearly given that the final colour of the solution is Blue which means , at the end we are left up with fe+2....definately then we'll use the equ in which iron +3 will reduce to iron +2 rather then using the other equ....
Hope you have got it ..ryt!

I am taking both AS level and A2, my major problems are with the practical papers. I am retaking chemistry AS level this year, along with the A2. Last year I scored 2 A's in my theory papers and a U grade on my practical paper. Have you got any suggestions on how I study both P3 and P5?
