JEE Main levelSingle correct optionDifficulty 2 of 3eq177
A '20 volume' HX2OX2 solution gives 20mL of OX2 at STP per mL of solution on decomposition (molar volume 22.4Lmol−1). Its normality, taking n-factor of HX2OX2 as 2, is:
A7.14N
B1.79N
C0.89N
D3.57N
Answer: D
2HX2OX2→2HX2O+OX2, so 1L gives 20L of OX2=20/22.4=0.893 mol, and HX2OX2=1.786M. Normality =2×1.786=3.57N (equivalently 20/5.6).
