21 - 30 of 40 Questions

# Question Ans
21.

A few drop of conc HCL are added to about 10cm\(^3\) of a solution of PH 3.4. The PH of the resulting mixture is?

A. less than 3.4

B. greater than 3.4

C. unaltered

D. the same as that of the pure water

Detailed Solution

The addition of conc HCL makes the solution more acidic and the solution falls below the original value

22.

Chromatography is used to separate components of mixture which differ in their rates of ?

A. diffusion

B. migration

C. reaction

D. sedimentation

Detailed Solution

Chromatography is a method of separating mixtures by using a moving solvent on filter paper.
The rate at which each solute moves up the paper depends on how strongly it is absorbed by the paper, and how soluble it is in the solvent.

23.

Deliquescent substances are also?

A. efflorescent

B. anhydrous

C. hygroscopic

D. insoluble

Detailed Solution

Deliquescence, the process by which a substance absorbs moisture from the atmosphere until it dissolves in the absorbed water and forms a solution. Deliquescence occurs when the vapour pressure of the solution that is formed is less than the partial pressure of water vapour in the air. A particular example of hygroscopic behavior is deliquescence which is exhibited by many water-soluble solids, including inorganic salts (e.g., calcium chloride).

24.

Helium is used in observation of ballons because it is?

A. Light and combustible

B. light and non-combustible

C. heavy and combustible

D. heavy and non-combustible

Detailed Solution

Helium floats because it is buoyant; its molecules are lighter than the nitrogen and oxygen molecules of our atmosphere and so they rise above it

25.

32g of anhydrous copper(ii)tetraoxosulphate(vi) dissolved in 1dm\(^3\) of water generated 13.0kj of heat. The heat solution is?

A. 26.0kj/mol

B. 65.0kj/mol

C. 130.0kj/mol

D. 260.0kj/mol

Detailed Solution

32g of CUSO\(_4\) liberate 13.0kj of heat
Molar mass of CUSO\(_4\) = 160g
No. of moles of CUSO\(_4\) = 32g
No. of moles = 32(mass) / 160(molar mass)
= 0.2 moles
i.e 0.2 = 13kj
1 moles = xkj
: 65KJ

26.

A gaseous metallic chloride MCl consists of 20.22% of M by mass. The formula of the chloride is?[ M = 27, Cl = 35.5]

A. MCl

B. MCl\(_2\)

C. MCl\(_3\)

D. M\(_2\)Cl\(_6\)

Detailed Solution

The formula of the Chloride = MCl\(_3\)

27.

What quantity of electricity will liberate 0.125 mole of oxygen molecules during the electrolysis of dilute sodium chloride solution?

A. 24,125 C

B. 48,250 C

C. 72,375 C

D. 96,500 C

Detailed Solution

4OH ⇒ 2H\(_2\)O + O\(_2\) + 4e-
From the equation:
1 mole of Oxygen requires 4e
i.e 1 mole of Oxygen requires 4F,
where 1F = 96,500 C
[ 4 X 96,500 X 0.125 ] ÷ 1
= 48,250 C

28.

Which of the following types of bonding does not involve the formation of new substances?

A. Metallic

B. Covalent

C. Co-ordinate

D. Electrovalent

Detailed Solution

There is an explanation video available below.
29.

An organic compound that does not undergo a reaction with both hydrogen cyanide and hydroxylamine can be?

A. Alkene

B. Alkanal

C. Alkanone

D. Alkanoic Acid

Detailed Solution

alkanone & alkanal react with HCN to form compounds known as cyanohyderins. They also react with hydroxylamine to form oximes.

30.

The substance often used for vulcanization of rubber is?

A. Chlorine

B. Hydrogen peroxide

C. Sulphur

D. Tetraoxosulphate(vi) acid

Detailed Solution

One of the several uses of sulfur is for the vulcanization of rubber.
