D. aeration

C

12.

1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s2, 3p6, 3d7, 4s2
An element with the electronic configuration above is a

A. non-metal

B. metal

C. transition element

D. group two element

C

13.

Given that electronegativity increases across a period and decreases down a group in the periodic table, in which of the following compounds will the molecules be held together by the strongest hydrogen bond?

A. HF(g)

B. NH3(g)

C. CH4(g)

D. HCl(g)

A

14.

0.25 mole of hydrogen chloride was dissolved in distilled water and the volume made up of 0.50 dm3. If 15.0 cm3 of the solution requires 12.50 cm3 of aqueous sodium trioxocarbonate (IV) for neutralization, calculate the concentration of the alkaline solution

A. 0.30 mol dm3

B. 0.40 mol dm3

C. 0.50 mol dm3

D. 0.60 mol dm3

Detailed Solution

M1 V1 = M2 V2
∴ Mn Vn represent volume and molar concentration of HCL also MyVy represent volume and molar concentration of Na2CO3
MnVn = MyVy
0.25 * 15 = 12.50 * My
My = (0.25 * 15)/12.50
My = 0.3m/dm3
15.

C. KMnO4 < K2Cr2O7 < V2O5

D. KMnO4 < V2O5 < K2Cr2O7

A

16.

A. CO, CO2 and SO2

B. CO, HCL and SO2

C. CO, CO2 and HCL

D. SO2, CO2 and HCL

B

17.
