4.08 g of a mixture of BaO and an unknown carbonate MCO₃ was heated strongly. The residue weighed 3.64 g. This was dissolved in 100 ml of 1 N HCl. The excess acid required 16 ml of 2.5 N NaOH solution for complete neutralization. Identify the metal M. (At wt. H = 1, C = 12, O = 16, Cl = 35.5, Ba = 138)

The density of a 3 M Sodium thiosulphate solution (Na₂S₂O₃) is 1.25 g per ml. Calculate

(i) the percentage by weight of sodium thiosulphate,

(ii) the mole fraction of sodium thiosulphate and

(iii) the molalities of Na⁺ and $$S_2O_3^{-2}$$ ions

Hydroxylamine reduces iron (III) according to the equation:

2NH₂OH + 4Fe³⁺ $$\to$$ N₂O(g) $$ \uparrow $$ + H₂O + 4Fe²⁺ + 4H⁺

Iron (II) thus produced is estimated by titration with a standard permanganate solution. The reaction is :

$$MnO_4^-$$ + 5Fe²⁺ + 8H⁺ $$\to$$ Mn²⁺ + 5Fe³⁺ + 4H₂O

A 10 ml sample of hydroxylamine solution was Diluted to 1 litre. 50 ml of this diluted solution was boiled with an excess of iron (III) solution. The resulting solution required 12 ml of 0.02 M KMnO₄ solution for complete oxidation of iron (II). Calculate the weight of hydroxylamine in one litre of the original solution. (H = 1, N = 14, O = 16, K =39, Mn = 55, Fe = 56)

A 1.00 gm sample of H₂O₂ solution containing X percent H₂O₂ by weight requires X ml of a KMnO₄ solution for complete oxidation under acidic conditions. Calculate the normality of the KMnO₄ solution.
