B. AICI3 and NaCI

C. FeCI3 and KCI

D. Na2SO4 and K2 SO4

A

12.

A. steel

B. bronze

C. duralumin

D. type metal

A

13.

Which of the following salts is not prepared by precipitation?

A. Lead (ll) trioxocarbonate (lV)

B. Barium trioxocarbonate (IV)

C. Sodium trioxocarbnate (IV)

D. Calcium trioxocarbonate (IV)

C

14.

What volume of hydrogen would be left over when 300cm3 of oxygen and 1000cm of hydrogen are exploded in a sealed tube? [2H2(g) + O2(g) → 2H2 Og]

A. 200 cm3

B. 400 cm3

C. 600cm3

D. 700cm3

Detailed Solution

2H2(g) + O 2(g) → 2H2Og
2V IV 2V
600cm3 300cm3 600cm3
The volume of hydrogen left over
= 1000 - 600 = 400cm3?
15.

B. 1,2,1

C. 2,1,2

D. 4,2,1

D

16.

Which of the following subtances will not produce effervescence with dilute hydeochloric acid?

A. Copper (ll) trioxocarbonate (IV)

B. Potassium hydrogentrioxocarbonate (lV)

C. Zinc granules

D. Sodium chloride

D

17.

A. 1

B. 2

C. 4

D. 6

Detailed Solution

One mole of aluminium from aluminium oxide gives three elecrrons. Two moles of aluminium from aluminium oxide give six electrons
18.

Two solutions containing Pb2+ and AI3+ respectively can be distingusihed using
