26. Answer (3) 30. Answer (4)

H3PO3 – diprotic acid

BrO4– is in maximum oxidation state i.e., + 7 so it
H3PO2 – monoprotic acid can only reduce.
Using Law of equivalence: 31. Answer (1)
m.equivalents of H3PO3 = m.equivalents of NaOH Mass of NaOH = x

Ÿ 50 × 1 × 2 = V × 1 × 1 x
Moles of NaOH =
Ÿ V = 100 mL 40

Similarly, Mass of Na2CO3 = y

m.equivalents of H3PO2 = m.equivalents of NaOH y

Moles of Na2CO3 =
106
Ÿ 100 × 2 × 1 = V × 1 × 1
x y
Ÿ V = 200 mL 40 106

35. Answer (1575) 0.1 × 10 × n-Factor = 0.05 × 30 × 2
At equivalence point (n-Factor)A = 3
(Number of gram equivalence)OA
Hence basicity of acid A is 3.
= (Number of gram equivalence)RA

Moles of MnO2 =
are present in highest oxidation state. These will 2
not undergo disproportionation.
= 3 × 10–3 mole
38. Answer (0.02 × 10–3)
Mass of MnO2 = 0.261 g
Initially one litre contains 0.02 mole
0.261
?50% of this solution will contains 0.01 m mol % of MnO2 = u 100  13%
2
After adding 0.01 mol, final solution will contain
42. Answer (30)
0.02 m mol of H2SO4
Meq of oxidising agent = Meq of reducing agent
= 0.02 m mol
Correct answer should 0.02 × 10–3 (M u V u nF )KMnO4 (M u V u nF )Mohr ' s salt
39. Answer (3)
0.01u 20 u 5 0.05 u V u 1
Millieq of acid A = Millieq of base M(OH)2
Volume required = 20 ml
(M u V u n  Factor)A (M u V u n  Factor)M(OH)2 Since initial volume of KMnO4 in burette is 50 ml.
Hence volume of KMnO4 left in the burette after end
[n-Factor of M(OH)2 = 2] point is 30 ml.
