C. methanamide and ethanol

D. ethanamide and methanol

D

23.

Alkanoates are formed by the reaction of alkanoic acid with?

A. Alkyl halides

B. alkanols

C. ethers

D. sodium

B

24.

The four classes of hydrocarbons are?

A. ethane, ethene, ethyne and benzene

B. alkanes, alkenes, alkynes and aromatics

C. alkanes, alkenes, alkynes and benzene

D. methane, ethane , propane and butane

B

25.

Which of the following compounds has the highest boiling point?

A. CH3CH2CH2CH2HO

B. CH3CH2CH2CHO

C. CH3CH2CH2CH3

D. CH3CH2OCH2CH3

A

26.

Detergents have the general formula?

A. R(CH2)nOH

B. RSO3-Na+

C. RSO-2Na+

D. RSO2H

B

27.

What process would coal undergo to give coal gas, coal tar, ammoniacal liquor and coke?

A. Steam distillation

B. Destructive distillation

C. Liquefaction

D. Hydrolysis

B

28.

The formula of a compound formed in a reaction between a trivalent metal M and a tetravalent non-metal X is~?

A. MX

B. M3X4

C. M4X3

D. M3X2

Detailed Solution

M2+ + X-4 = M4X3
29.

2.25g of a sample of an oxide of copper on reduction gave 2.0g of copper. 2.50g of another oxide of copper on reduction also gave 2.0g of copper. These results are in accordance with the law of?

A. constant composition

B. conservation of matter

C. multiple proportions

D. definite proportions

C

30.

One mole of propane is mixed with five moles of oxygen. The mixture is ignited and the propane burns completely. What is the volume of the products at s.t.p?

(G.M.V = 22.4 dm3 mol-1)

A. 112.0 dm3

B. 67.2 dm3

C. 56.0 dm3

D. 44.8 dm3

Detailed Solution

C3H8 + 5O2 → 3CO2 + 4H2O
When the mixture is ignited CO2 is collected as product. From the equation 33 moles of CO2 is produced which equals 3 x 2.4 dm3 = 67.2 dm3 at S.T.P
