Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11

Mixture of two metals having mass 2 gm (A=15,B=30)2\text{ gm }(A = 15, B = 30) and are bivalent and dissolve in HCl\text{HCl} and evolve 2.24 L H22.24\text{ L }\text{H}_2 at STP. what is mass of A present in mixture?

A

1 gm1\text{ gm}

B

1.5 gm1.5\text{ gm}

C

0.5 gm0.5\text{ gm}

D

0.75 gm0.75\text{ gm}

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

Option A is correct because it accurately sums the moles of H₂ produced from both reactions: x15\frac{x}{15} from the first reaction and ²x30\frac{²⁻x}{30} from the second reaction, leading to a total of x15+²x30=2.2422.4=110\frac{x}{15} + \frac{²⁻x}{30} = \frac{2.24}{22.4} = \frac{1}{10} moles of H₂. Other options are incorrect as they either miscalculate the moles produced or do not properly represent the stoichiometry of the reactions; for instance, option B incorrectly subtracts moles instead of adding them, while option C does not account for the contributions from both reactions. Understanding stoichiometry is essential for accurately determining the quantities of products formed in chemical reactions.
