Explanation:
q67

8. Consider a titration of potassium dichromate solution with acidified Mohr's salt solution using diphenylamine as indicator. The number of moles of Mohr's salt required per mole of dichromate is
a) 3
b) 4
c) 5
d) 6

Answer: d
Explanation:
q68

9. The correctly reported answer of addition of 29.4406, 3.2 and 2.25 will have significant figures
a) 3
b) 4
c) 2
d) 5

Answer: a
Explanation: Sum of the figures 29.4406, 3.2 and 2.25 is 34.8906. The sum should be reported to the first place of decimal as 3.2 has only one decimal place. After rounding off the sum is 34.9. Hence number of significant figures is three.

10. On dividing 0.25 by 22.1176 the actual answer is 0.011303. The correctly reported answer will be
a) 0.011
b) 0.01
c) 0.0113
d) 0.013

Answer: a
Explanation: 0.25/22.1176 = 0.011303. The least precise term has two significnat figures, hence the result is 0.011
