Choose the one you consider to be correct. 1 Acidified aqueous potassium dichromate(VI) oxidizes ethanedioate ions, C2O4 2-, to CO2. What volume of 0.020 mol dm -3 potassium dichromate( VI) is required to oxidize completely 1.0 x 10-3 mol of the salt KHC2O4·H2C2O4? A 17 cm3 C 50 cm3 B 33 cm3 D 125 cm3 2 Nervous disorders due to mercury poisoning occur when mercury forms a 1:1 complex with lipoyl groups, which are vital for glucose metabolism. For a human containing 3.0 kg of body fluid, what is the mass of mercury (A r 200) required to complex all the lipoyl groups? [Average concentration of lipoyl groups in body fluid = 1.0 x 10-8 mol kg-1] A 1.5 x 10-9 g C 6.0 x 10-8 g B 3.0 x 10-8 g D 6.0 x 10-6 g 3 When methane, CH 4, was burned in an incorrectly adjusted burner, it was converted into a mixture of carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide in the ratio 99:1, together with water vapour. What is the volume of oxygen consumed when 4 dm3 of methane is burned? A 7.98 dm3 C 3.98 dm3 B 7.96 dm3 D 3.96 dm3 4 Tritium, , is an isotope of hydrogen atom. 3 1 H Given that a 2 g sample of hydrogen at temperature T and volume V exerts a pressure p , which of the following would also exert a pressure p at the same temperature T?
