C. reduction by electrolysis

D. oxidation with oxidizing agents

D

33.

When excess chlorine is mixed with ethene at room temperature, the product is

A. 1,2 - dichloroethane

B. 1,2 - dichloroethene

C. 1,1 - dichloroethane

D. 1, 1 - dichloroethene

C. sulphur is chemically combined in the rubber

D. water is removed from the rubber

C

35.

The reaction between ethanoic acid and sodium hydroxide is an example of

A. esterification

B. neutralization

C. hydroxylation

D. hydrolysis

B

36.

The bond which joins two ethanoic acid molecules in the liquid state is

A. a covalent bond

B. an ionic bond

C. a dative covalent bond

D. a hydrogen bond

D

37.

The alkaline hydrolysis of fats and oils produces soap and

A. propane 1, 1, 3 - triol

B. propane - 1,2,3 - triol

C. propane - 1,3,3 - triol

D. propane - 1, 2, 2 - triol

38.

The gas responsible for most of the fatal explosions in coal mines is

39.

Three liquids X, Y and Z containing only hydrogen and carbon were burnt on a spoon. X and Y burnt with sooty flames while Z did not. Y is able to discharge the colour of bromine water whereas X and Z cannot. Which of the liquids would be aromatic in nature?

A. X and Z

B. Y

C. X

D. Z

Detailed Solution

Aromatic compounds burn with a yellow sooty flame and they don't decolorise bromine water, since bromine is not electrophilic enough except in the presence of a strong Lewis catalyst.
