Q.

The volume of hydrogen at STP required to reduce 7.95 grams of cupric oxide to metal is

View Answer

Correct choice: D

Explanation:

 Cupric oxide is reduced to copper on treating with hydrogen
CuO + H2 → Cu + H2 O
1 mole of CuO requires 1 mole of H2
79.5 grams of CuO requires 22.4 L of H2 at STP
7.95 grams of CuO requires ( 7.95 × 22.4/79.5) = 2.24 L of hydrogen required at STP
