26 Use of the Data Booklet is relevant to this question. 2.40g of propan-2-ol were mixed with excess acidified potassium dichromate(VI). The reaction mixture was then boiled under reflux for twenty minutes. The organic product was then collected by distillation. The yield of product was 75.0%. What mass of product was collected? A 1.74g B 1.80g C 2.22g D 2.32g
propan-2-ol will be oxidised to propanone.
Mr of propan-2-ol = 60
Mr of propanone = 58
moles of propan-2-ol = 0.04mol
1:1 ratio
moles of propaone = 0.0.4mol
mass of propaone = 2.32g
75% of mass was the product = 75% of 2.32g = 1.74g

it will shift backwards so the "yield" of products on LHS increases.
increasing temperature increases "rates" whether the reaction is exo or endo. And the effect is on both sides.
Same goes for pressure right? Increasing pressure increases both forward and backward rate? :)

q:3 how is a borohydride ion a tetrahydral?

how to go about the 4th question? i got my anwer close to the right answer...is it sth to just assume and write w/o a definite answer?

q:10 and 11 15 16 17 23 24 please...

q 19: why is the answer A and not D?

q:30 what's the difference between molecules in B and C except that they are reverse order of each other?

TIA

Density of the gases is related to the Mr of the gases in the mixture and their % composition.

For example, for option A = 0.898 x 2 + 0.102 x 4 = 2.204
Repeat for the other options and choose the highest value among the 4 options.
yes i had done that ... but i got a wrong answer ... the highest value is that of B, but answer is D
