# Question Ans
21.

Tartaric acid is used industrially to

A. make baking powder

B. make fruit juice

C. remove rust

D. dry substance

Detailed Solution

There is an explanation video available below.
22.

P1V1 = P2V2 supports ?

A. Charles’s law

B. Boyles’s law

C. Graham’s law

D. Avogadro’s law

Detailed Solution

There is an explanation video available below.
23.

A fixed mass of gas occupies 92cm3 at 3°C. What will be its volume at 18C if the pressure remains constant?

A. 15.3cm3

B. 87.3cm3

C. 2.0cm3

D. 97.0cm3

Detailed Solution

\(\frac{V_{1}}{T_{1}}\) = \(\frac{V_{2}}{T_{2}}\)
\(T_{1}\) = 3 + 273 = 276K
\(T_{2}\) = 18 + 273 = 291K
\(V_{1}\) = \(92cm^{3}\)
\(V_{2}\) = ?
\(V_{2}\) = \(\frac{V_{1}T_{2}}{T_{1}}\)
=\(\frac{92 \times 291}{276}\)
= \(97.0cm^{3}\)
There is an explanation video available below.
24.

Which of the following ions requires the largest quantity of electricity for discharge at an electrode?

A. 2.0 mole of Q3+

B. 2.5 mole of R2+

C. 3.0 mole of T-

D. 4.0 mole of Y-

Detailed Solution

2.0 mole of Q3+ ions require the largest quantity of electricity for discharge at an electric. option B,C,D are all carrying a smaller quantity of electricity which not be proven for ant discharge
There is an explanation video available below.
25.

Hydrogen can be displaced from a hot alkaline solution by

A. Fe

B. Cu

C. Ca

D. Sn

Detailed Solution

Tin dissolves in concentrated solution of alkalis to give trioxostannate(IV) salt and hydrogen.
There is an explanation video available below.
26.

Which of the following types of alkanols undergo oxidation to produce alkanoic acids.

I. Primary alkanols
II. Secondary alkanols
III. Tertiary alkanols

A. I, II and III

B. I and II only

C. III only

D. I only

Detailed Solution

There is an explanation video available below.
27.

Rare gases are stable because they

A. are monoatomic

B. form ions easily

C. have duplet or octet electronic configuration in the outermost shells in their atoms

D. are volatile gases

Detailed Solution

Rare gases are stable because they have duplet or octet electronic configurations in the outermost shells in their atoms, as a result they don’t go into solution easily. option A, B, Dare not because they go into solution easily (unstable)
There is an explanation video available below.
28.

A. coal

B. wood

C. fuel

D. chlorofluorocarbons

Detailed Solution

There is an explanation video available below.
29.

Which of these radioactive elements is commonly used as a nuclear fuel

A. uranium

B. palladium

C. actium

D. thorium

Detailed Solution

Uranium is common nuclear because of its less stability as a result has a great tendency to increase energy than. Options B,C,D which are not stable
There is an explanation video available below.
30.
