(a). 5.5 g of a mixture FeSO4.7H2O and Fe2(SO4)3.9H2O requires 5.4 ml of 0.1 N KMnO4 solution for complete oxidation. Calculate the number of gram mole of hydrated ferric sulphate in the mixture.

(b). The vapour density (hydrogen = 1) of a mixture consisting of NO2 and N2O4 is 38.3 at 26.7oC. Calculate the number of moles of NO2 in 100 g of the mixure.

5 ml of a gas containing only carbon and hydrogen were mixed with an excess of oxygen (30 ml) and the mixture exploded by means of an electric spark. After the explosion, the volume of the mixed gases remaining was 25 ml. On adding a concentrated solution of potassium hydroxide, the volume further diminished to 15 ml of the residual gas being pure oxygen. All volumes have been reduced to N.T.P. Calculate the molecular formula of the hydrocarbon gas.

A white amorphous powder (A) on heating yields a colourless, non-combustible gas (B) and a solid (C). The latter compound assumes a yellow colour on heating and changes to white on cooling. (C) dissolves in dilute acid and the resulting solution gives a white precipitate on adding K4Fe(CN)6 solution.

(A) dissolves in dilute HCl with the evolution of gas, which is identical in all respects with (B). The gas (B) turns lime water milky, but the milkiness disappears with the continuous passage of gas. The solution of (A), as obtained above, gives a white precipitate (D) on the addition of excess of NH4OH and passing H2S. Another portion of the solution gives initially a white precipitate (E) on the addition of sodium hydroxide solution, which dissolves on further addition of the base. Identify the compounds (A), (B), (C), (D) and (E).
