The shapes of CO2, H2O and CH 4 respectively are

A. bent, linear and tetrahedral

B. bent, tetrahedral and linear

C. linear, bent and tetrahedral

D. tetrahedral, linear and bent

C

14.

The distance between the nuclei of chlorine atoms in a chlorine molecule is 0.194 mm. The atomic radius of chlorine atom is

A. 0.097 mm

B. 0.194 mm

C. 0.388 mm

D. 2.388 mm

A

15.

The noble gas, argon,is used for

C. it attcaks lead contained in pipes

D. it encourages the growth of bacteria

C

17.

Water molecule can be ligands especially when they are bonded to

A. alkaline earth metals

B. alkali metals

C. transition metals

D. group VII elements

C

18.

The air pollutant unknown in nature is

A. NO

B. CO

C. HCHO

D. DDT

Detailed Solution

Formaldehyde (HCHO) is the most important carcinogen in outdoor air among the 187 hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) identified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
19.

1.0 dm3 of distilled water was used to wash 2.0g of a precipitate of AgCl. If the solubility product of AgCl is 2.0 * 10-10mol2dm-6, what quantity of silver was lost in the process?

A. 2.029 * 10-3mol dm-3

B. 1.414 * 10-3mol dm-3

C. 2.029 * 10-5mol dm-3

D. 1.414 * 10-5mol dm-3

Detailed Solution

In order to calculate this, it suffices to calculate the solubility of Ag, so as to know the amount lost.
\(K_{sp} = [Ag^{+}][Cl^{-}]\)
Let the solubilty of Ag and Cl = d
\(2 \times 10^{-10} = d \times d= d^{2}\)
\(d = \sqrt{2\times10^{-10}}\)
= \(1.414 \times 10^{-5}moldm^{-3}\)
