1.Hydrogen sulphide and chlorine react to form hydrogen chloride and sulphur according to the following equation: H2S(g)+Cl2(g) ---> 2HCl(g) +S(s)
(Relative atomic masses: H=1.0, S =32.1, Cl =35.5)
1a.). Find the mass and volume (at room temperature and pressure) of hydrogen chloride formed if 3.41g of hydrogen sulphide and 7.70g of chlorine are allowed to react.
1b.). At room temperature and pressure, 100 cm3 of hydrogen sulphide are mixed with 100cm3 of chlorine. Find the volume of hydrogen chloride formed(assuming temperature and pressure to be unchanged after reaction.)
1c.). In order to obtain 3.21g of sulphur, what is the minimum volume of
chlorine used at room temperature and pressure?
2. The equations below represent two intermediate reactions involved in the production of nitric acid: 4NH3(g)+5O2(g)--->4NO(g)+6H2O(l)-------------1
2NO(g)+O2(g)--->2NO2------------------------2
What is the minimum volume of oxygen required to oxidize 40cm3 of ammonia to nitrogen dioxide, if all measurements of gaseous volumes are made under the same conditions?
3. Propane, C3H8, is the clean fuel used in the 2008 Beijing Olympic Torch.Molar volume of propane gas used at r.t.p is 23250 cm3 mol-1. Calculate the volume of CO2 formed at r.t.p. when 0.88 g of propane is burnt completely in air.
4. Polythene is used in making shopping bags and its monomer is ethene.
4a.). Suggest one way to dispose of polythene wastes.
4b.). Give one advantage and one disadvantage of the way your have suggested in (a).
5. Incineration of PVC wastes produces hydrogen chloride which causes air pollution.
5a.). State ONE harmful effect of the discharge of hydrogen chloride into the atmosphere.
5b.). Suggest how hydrogen chloride can be removed from incinerator flue gas prior to its discharge to the atmosphere.
