B. The size of molecules is negligble as compared with the volume of gas

C. The molecular collisions are perfectly elastic

D. Every molecule has the same kinetic energy at a particular temperature

E. The average kinetic energy is proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas

D

34.

The electronic configuration of elements X and Y are X = 2, 8, 6; Y = 2, 8, 7. The bond in the compound formed by X and Y is expected to be?

A. ionic

B. covalent

C. dative covalent

D. metallic

E. none of the above

B

35.

5cm3 of a saturated solution of sodium chloride at 30°C gave, on careful evaporation, 1.95g of solid salt. The solubility of sodium chloride at 30°C?

(Na = 23, Cl = 35.5)

A. 5.00 mole dm3

B. 5.67 mole dm3

C. 6.00 mole dm3

D. 6.67 mole dm3

E. 7.00 mole dm3

Detailed Solution

1.95 gms of NaCl dissolves in 5 cm solution at 30°C
Number of gm of solute required to dissolve in
100 gm = (1.950 x 100)/ (5 x 1) = 1.95 x 20 = 39.0
390 gms will dissolve in 1000 dm3
Solution
Solubility of NaCl at 30°C in
(dm3 is 390)/(Mol wt g NaCl) = 6.67 mol dm3
36.

In the extraction of iron, which of the following reactions does NOT take place in the blast furnace?

A. CO2 + C → 2CO

B. 2Fe2O3 + 3C → 4Fe + 3CO2

C. Fe2O3 + 3C → 2Fe + 3CO2

D. CaCO3 → CaO + CO2

E. CaO + SiO2 → CaSiO3

B

37.

Pure sulfuric acid is a liquid of 1.84 density. What volume of it would be required to prepare 250 cm3 of 2.0 M solution?



(H = 1, S = 32, O = 16)

A. 2.00

B. 2.66

C. 3.00

D. 3.66

E. 4.00

Detailed Solution

1000 cm3 of 1 m H2SO4 contains 98 gm of H2SO4
250 of 1 m H2SO4 (98)/(4) x (2)/(10) = 4.9 gm
But density = (mass)/(volume)
Volume = (Mass)/(Density) (4.90)/(1.84) = 2.66
38.

What mass of sodium carbonate solution is in 500 cm3 of 0.1 molar sodium carbonate solution?

(Na = 23, C = 12, O = 16)

A. 10.6 g

B. 5.3 g

C. 500 g

D. 10 g

E. 20 g

Detailed Solution

106 gm Na2CO3 in 1000 cc = 1m
53 gm Na2CO3 in 500 cc = 1m
For 0.1 molar we have (53)/(10) = 5.3
39.

Which of the following compounds and elements would sublime on exposure to the atmosphere?

A. Ice

B. Sulphur

C. Phosphurous

D. Iodine

E. Potassium iodie

D

40.
