What is the volume of oxygen consumed? A 5y dm3 C 9y dm3 B 6y dm3 D 12y dm3 2 0.005 mol of a metal oxide, Y2Ox, reacted exactly with 0.006 mol of acidified potassium manganate(VII) solution. The half-equation for the reduction of MnO4 – is shown below. MnO4 – + 8H+ + 5e–  Mn2+ + 4H2O Given that the oxidation state of Y in the product is +6, what is the value of x? A 1 C 3 B 2 D 4 3 Use of the Data Booklet is relevant to this question. Significant contributions t o carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere comes from the thermal decomposition of limestone (calcium carbonate) and the manufacture of cement and lime (calcium oxide). Cement works roast 1000 million tonnes of limestone per year and a further 200 million tonnes is roasted in kilns to make lime. What is the total annual mass output of carbon dioxide (in million tonnes) from these two processes? A 440 B 528 C 660 D 880
