B. Na2CO3, pH > 8

C. Na2Cl,pH = 7

D. NaHCO, pH < 6

D

2.

Which of the following is an acidic salt?

A. NaHSO4

B. Na2SO4

C. CH3CO2Na

D. Na2S

A

3.

Which of the following solutions will conduct the least amount of electricity?

A. 2.00 M aqueous solution of NaOH

B. 0.01 M aqueous solution of NaOH

C. 0.01 M aqueous solution of hexanoic acid

D. 0.01 M aqueous solution of sugar

D

4.

How many coulombs of electricity are passed through a solution in which 6.5 amperes are allowed to run for 1.0 hour?

A. 3.90 x 102 coulombs

B. 5.50 x 103 coulombs

C. 6.54 x 103 coulombs

D. 2.34 x 104 coulombs

D

5.

Which of these represents a redox reaction?

A. AgNO3 + NaCl → AgCAl + NaNO3

B. H2S + Pb(NO3) → PbS + 2HNO3

C. CaCO3 → CaO + CO2

D. Zn + 2HCl → ZnCl2 + H2

D

6.

20 cm3 of 1.0 molar NH4OH solution when neutralized with 20.05cm3 of 0.1 molar HCl liberated -102 joules of heat. Calculate the heat of neutralization of NH4OH?

A. -51.O KJ mol-

B. +57.3 KJ mol-

C. +57.O KJ mol-

D. +51.0 KJ mol-

Detailed Solution

NH4OH = 20cm of 0.1 m
NH4 + HCl → NH4Cl = H2O
Heat of Neutralization of NH4OH
= \(\frac{-102}{2}\) = -51.0 KJ mole-1
7.

What is the consequences of increasing pressure on the equilibrium reaction ZnO(s) + H2(g) Zn(s) + H2O(I)?

A. The equilibrium is driven to the left

B. The equilibrium is driven to the right

C. There is no effect

D. More ZnO is produced

C

8.

A. 20 cm3

B. 25 cm3

C. 50 cm3

D. 100 cm3

Detailed Solution

Volume of air containing 10 cm O2 is
(100 x 10)/(20) = 50cm3
9.

A. excess Mg ribbon

B. excess cold water

C. very hot water

D. steam

D

10.
