A given mass of gas occupies 2dm3 at 300k. At what temperature will its volume be doubled, keeping the pressure constant?

A. 400k

B. 480k

C. 550k

D. 600k

13.

The oxidation number of iodine in KIO3 is

A. +7

B. +3

C. +5

D. +6

There is an explanation video available below.
14.

An isomer of C5H12 is

A. 2–ethyl butane

B. butane

C. 2–methyl butane

D. 2–methyl propane

Detailed Solution

15.

When few drops of concentrated trioxonitrate(V) acid is added to an unknown sample and wanned an intense yellow colouration is observed. The likely functional group present in the sample is

A. NH2RCHCOOH

B. CHO

C. CO

D. CNH2

Detailed Solution

Xanthopreitic test for the presence of protein, when conc nitric acid is added to the drop, an intense yellow colouration is observed.

It contains all the functional group of protein which includes the amino, alkanol and the carboxylic group. Adding few drops of conc HNO3 to a protein, gives an intense yellow colouration.

It is called Xanthopreitic test.

16.

A sample of orange juice is found to have a PH of 3.80. What is the concentration of the hydroxide ion in the juice?

A. 1.6 \(\times\) 10-4

B. 6.3 \(\times\) 10-11

C. 6.3 \(\times\) 10-4

D. 1.6 \(\times\) 10-11

Detailed Solution

17.

Incomplete oxidation of ethanol yields

A. CH3COOH

B. CH3COCH3

C. CH3CH2OCH2CH3

D. CH3CHO

Detailed Solution

C2H5OH → CH3CHO → CH3COOH
Ethanol.....oxidation Ethanal........Ethanoic Acid
Primary alcohol oxidises to aldehyde and later to carboxylic acid.
Secondary alcohol oxidises to ketones.
Ethanol is an example of primary alcohol and primary alcohol can be oxidised to aldehyde and carboxylic acid. Wherein, incomplete oxidation of primary alcohol yields aldehyde also known as alkanal while complete oxidation of primary alcohol yields carboxylic acid.

A. endothermic

B. exothermic

C. reversible

D. ionic

Detailed Solution
