Explanation / Answer

19) As per the balanecd reaction, 1 mole of CuBr2 on complete reaction produces 1 mole of Cu

Thus, molar mass of CuBr2 = 223.3 g/mole

Thus, moles of CuBr2 in 0.25 g of it = mass/molar mass = 0.25/233.3 = 1.12*10-3

Thus,moles of Cu produced = 1.12*10-3

mass of Cu produced = moles*molar mass = 1.12*10-3*63.5 = 0.071 g

20) molar mass of K = 39 g/mole

Thus, moles of K in 5 g of it = mass/molar mass = 5/39 = 0.128

Now, as per the balanced reaction , 4 moles of K on complete reaction produces 2 moles of K2O theoretically

Thus, theoretical moles of K2O produced on reaction of 0.128 moles of K = 0.064

Theoretical mass of K2O produced = moles*molar mass = 0.064*94 = 6.026 g

Thus, % yield = (actual mass of K2O/theoretical mass of K2O)*100 = 70.53%

Hence the correct option is :- (c)

21) Moles of HCl used in neutralization = molarity*volume of HCl olution in litres = 0.135*0.01535 = 2.072*10-3

Thus, as per the balanced reaction , moles of Ba(OH)2 neutralized = (1/2)*moles of HCl = 1.036*10-3

Thus, molarity of Ba(OH)2 solution = moles of Ba(OH)2/Volume of solution in litres = (1.036*10-3)/0.025 = 0.04144 M

Hence, the correct option is:- (A)
