# Question Ans
1.

Which of the following equimolar solutions will have the highest pH?

A. CH3COOHa

B. NaOH

C. HCl

D. NH4OH

B

2.

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

A. 4.0 moles of Cl-

B. 3.0 moles of Na+

C. 2.5 moles of Cu2+

D. 2.0 moles of Al3+

D

3.

Phenolphthalein in acidic solution is

A. red

B. orange

C. colourless

D. yellow

C

4.

When iron is exposed to moisture and it rusts, the value of ΔG for the reaction is

A. neutral

B. zero

C. positive

D. negative

D

5.

In which of the following reactions can the oxidation number of the nitrogen be said to have increased?

A. 2NO(g) + O2(g) → 2NO2(g)

B. NO(g) + Cl2(g) → NOCl2(l)

C. FeSO4(aq) + NO(g) → Fe(NO)SO4(s)

D. NO(g) + Br2(l) → NOBr2(l)

Detailed Solution

The oxidation number of the nitrogen of N in NO = 2
The oxidation number of the nitrogen of N in NOCl\(_2\) = 4
OPTION B is the correct option
6.

2H2 + O22 → H2+O ΔH = -571kJ
In the equation above, how much heat will be liberated if 12.0g of hydrogen is burnt in excess oxygen?

A. -1142 kJ

B. -571 kJ

C. +1142 kJ

D. -1713 kJ

Detailed Solution

2H2 + O22 → H2+O ΔH = -571kJ
4.0g of Hydrogen burn in air to produce -571 kJ
∴ 12.0s of Hydrogen will burn in air to produce
(12 * -571)/4 = -1713kJ
7.

The ion that will be discharged at the cathode is

A. Cu2+

B. Cl-

C. H+

D. OH-

A

8.

A. Dioxonitrate (IV) ion

B. Trioxonitrate (III) ion

C. Trioxonitrate (IV) ion

D. Dioxonitrate (III) ion

D

10.

What will happen if an aluminium spoon is used to stir a solution of iron (II) trioxonitrates (V)?
