# Question Ans
21.

When 50cm2 of a saturated solution of sugar of molar mass 342 g at 40oC was evaporated to dryness, 34.2g of dry solid was obtained. The solubility of sugar at 40oC is

A. 2.0 mol dm-3

B. 3.5 mol dm-3

C. 7.0 mol dm-3

D. 10.0 mol dm-3

Detailed Solution

solubility = mole * 1000cm3/volume
mass/molar mass * 1000cm3/volume
= 34.2/342 * 1000cm3/50cm3-3
22.

Which of the following results in the fall of acid rain?

A. Oxides of lead

B. Particulate matter

C. Oxides of sulphur

D. Gaseous hydrocarbon

C

23.

Water has the ability to dissolve almost all substance because its molecules has a structure with

A. one positive end and one neutral end

B. one positive end and one negative end

C. two negative ends

D. two positive ends

Detailed Solution

Water has partial positive and partial negative charges
24.

When a crystal was added to the clear solution of its salt, the crystal did not dissolve and the solution remained unchange. This showed that the solution was

A. supersaturated

B. concentrated

C. unsaturated

D. saturated

D

25.

A particle that contains 11 protons, 12 neutrons and 10 electrons is probably a

A. neutral non-metal

B. metallic ion

C. non-metallic ion

D. neutral metal

B

26.

A difference between chemical and physical change is that in a chemical change

A. oxygen is consumed

B. heat is supplied

C. a reversible process oocurs

D. a new substance is formed

D

27.

The volume of 2.5 moles of oxygen at s.t.p is
[Molar volume of a gas at s.t.p = 22.4 dm3]

A. 50.0 dm3

B. 84.0 dm3

C. 28.0 dm3

D. 56.0 dm3

Detailed Solution

1 mole of gas at s.t.p = 22.4
2.5 moles → 2.5 * 22.4 = 56.00 dm3
28.

Nuclear fission involves the splitting of a heavy element into two nuclei of

A. nearly equal masses with a relaese of energy and radiaton

B. equal masses with a relaese of energy

C. equal masses with a release of energy and radiation

D. unequal masses without any relaese of energy

A

29.

What is the molar mass of a substance, if 0.4 mole of the substance has a mass of 25.0g?

A. 62.5 g

B. 40.0 g

C. 6.3 g

D. 2.5 g

Detailed Solution

0.4 → 25
1 mole → ? = 1/0.4 * 25/1 = 250/1 = 62.5 g
30.

The element with the electron configuration 1s22s22p3 is

A. calcium

B. chlorine

C. oxygen

D. nitrogen

D
