20.0 g of a magnesium carbonate sample decomposes on heating to give carbon dioxide and 8.0 g of magnesium oxide.
The percentage purity of magnesium carbonate in the sample is:
(Atomic weight of Mg=24)
| 1. | 75 | 2. | 96 |

The heat of combustion of carbon to CO2 is –393.5 KJ/mol. The heat released upon the formation of 35.2 g of CO2 from carbon and oxygen gas is:
| 1. | –315 KJ | 2. | +315 KJ |
| 3. | –630 KJ | 4. | +630 KJ |
The rate Constant of reaction A → B is 0.6 × 10–3 \(\mathrm{molL}^{-1} \mathrm{~S}^{-1}\). If the Concentration of A is 5M, then the concentration of B after 20 min is:
1. 1.08M
2. 3.60M
3. 0.36M
4. 0.72M
The formation of the oxide ion, O²⁻(g), from an oxygen atom occurs in two successive steps:
O(g) + e⁻ → O⁻(g) ΔH = −141 kJ mol⁻¹
O⁻(g) + e⁻ → O²⁻(g) ΔH = +780 kJ mol⁻¹
Although O²⁻ is isoelectronic with neon, its formation in the gaseous state is energetically unfavourable. What is the main reason for this?
| 1. | Electron repulsion outweighs the stability gained by achieving a noble gas configuration. |
| 2. | O– ion has a comparatively smaller size than the oxygen atom. |
| 3. | Oxygen is more electronegative. |
| 4. | Addition of electrons in oxygen results in a large size of the ion. |

1. 28 g
2. 3.5 g
3. 7 g
4. 14 g
