# Question Ans
31.

When excess ethene is shaken with acidified KMnO4 solution, the product obtained is

A. ethane

B. ethanal

C. ethane - 1, 2 - diol

D. ethanoic acid

C

32.

What volume of 0.20 mol dm -3 NaOH solution would yield 5.0 g of NaOH on evaporation to dryness? [NaOH = 40g mol-1]

A. 400 cm3

B. 625 cm3

C. 1000 cm3

D. 1600 cm 3

Detailed Solution

Conc. g/dm3 = 0.20 x 40 gmol -1 = 8 g/dm3
1000 cm3 of 0.20m NaOH contains 8g of NaOH :. 5g of NaOH will be contained in 5/8 x 1000 x 625cm3
33.
