Which of the following is not an alkali?

A. Ca(OH)2

B. NH3

C. NaOH

D. Al(OH)3

Detailed Solution

Al(OH)3 is not generally an alkali but is amphoteric; acting as a base and an acid when the need arises.

25.

Which of the following statements is correct about the periodic table?

A. Elements in the same group have the same number of electron shells

B. The non-metallic properties of the elements tend to decrease across each period

C. Elements in the same period have the same number of valence electrons

D. The valence electrons of the elements increase progressively across the period

26.

The metal whose ore can be concentrated by passing it through a magnetic separator is

A. Zn

B. Sn

C. Cu

D. Ca

Detailed Solution

There is an explanation video available below.
27.

An example of an acidic oxide is

A. NO

B. CO

C. SO2

D. CuO

28.

What volume of 0.5M H2SO4 will exactly neutralize 20cm3 of 0.1M NaOH Solution?

A. 2.0cm 3

B. 5.0cm 3

C. 6.8cm 3

D. 8.3cm 3

Detailed Solution

The balanced equation is given as:
\(H_{2}SO_{4} + 2NaOH \to Na_{2}SO_{4} + 2H_{2}O\)
Molarity of \(NaOH = 0.1M\)
Volume of \(NaOH = 20cm^{3}\)
Molarity of \(H_{2}SO_{4} = 0.5M\)
mol NaOH = \(0.1 \times 20cm^{3} = 2molNaOH\)
⇒ \(2mol NaOH \times \frac{1mol H_{2}SO_{4}}{2mol NaOH} = 1 mol H_{2}SO_{4}\)
\(volume of H_{2}SO_{4} = \frac{mole of H_{2}SO_{4}}{molarity of H_{2}SO_{4}}\)
= \(\frac{1 mole}{0.5 M} = 2cm^{3} H_{2}SO_{4}\)
