# Question Ans
11.

A noble gas with a high power of fog penetration used in aerodrome beacons is?

A. krpton

B. argon

C. helium

D. neon

Detailed Solution

There is an explanation video available below.
12.

Permanent hardness of water can be removed by?

A. filtration

B. adding slaked lime

C. adding caustic soda

D. boiling

Detailed Solution

- this hardness cannot be removed by boiling. We can remove this hardness by treating the water with washing soda, caustic soda and permutit

13.

Substance employed as drying agents are usually?

A. amphoteric

B. hygroscopic

C. efflorescent

D. acidic

Detailed Solution

There is an explanation video available below.
14.

Calculate the solubility in mol dm-3 of 40g of CuSO4 dissolved in 100g of water at 120°C?
[Cu = 64, S = 32, O = 16]

A. 4.00

B. 2.50

C. 0.40

D. 0.25

Detailed Solution

Solubility = \(\frac{\text{number of moles of solution}}{\text{vol of solution}}\)
100g of water = 100 cm\(^3\) = 0.1 dm\(^3\).
CuSO\(_4\) = 160 g/mol
No of moles of CuSO\(_4\) in 40g = \(\frac{40}{160}\)
= 0.25 mol.
Solubility = \(\frac{0.25}{0.1}\)
= 2.5 moldm\(^{-3}\).

15.

Coffee stains can best be removed by?

A. Kerosine

B. turpentine

C. a solution of borax in water

D. ammonia solution

Detailed Solution

There is an explanation video available below.
16.

Carbon (II) oxide is considered dangerous if inhaled mainly because it?

A. can cause injury to the nervous system

B. competes with oxygen in the blood

C. competes with carbon (IV) oxide in the blood

D. can cause lung cancer

Detailed Solution

Carbon monoxide is harmful when breathed because it displaces oxygen in the blood and deprives the heart, brain and other vital organs of oxygen.
There is an explanation video available below.
17.

The acid that is used to remove rust is?

A. boric

B. hydrochloric

C. trioxonitrate (V)

D. tetraoxosulphate (VI)

Detailed Solution

There is an explanation video available below.
18.

Calculate the volume of 0.5 mol dm-3 H2So4 that is neutralized by 25 cm3 of 0.1 mol dm-3 NaOH?

A. 5.0 cm3

B. 2.5 cm3

C. 0.4 cm3

D. 0.1 cm3

Detailed Solution

There is an explanation video available below.
19.

The colour of methyl orange in alkaline medium is?

A. yellow

B. pink

C. orange

D. red

Detailed Solution

Methyl orange has the property to color alkaline and neutral water yellow.
There is an explanation video available below.
20.

Which of the following salts is slightly soluble in water?

A. AgCl

B. CaSO4

C. Na2CO3

D. PbCl2

Detailed Solution

All sulfates are soluble except those of barium, strontium and lead. Calcium sulfate, silver sulfate and mercurous sulfate are slightly soluble in water, but calcium sulfate is rarely precipitated in reactions between the calcium and sulfate ions.
