# Question Ans
11.

Water is said to be temporarily hard when it contains

A. Ca (HCO3)2 and Mg (HCO3)2 salts

B. Ca (HCO3)2 and CaCO3 SALTS

C. Mg(HCO3)2 and CaSO4 salts

D. CaSO4 and Ca(HCO3)2 salts

Detailed Solution

Temporary hardness is caused by the presence of dissolved calcium hydrogentrioxocarbonate(IV) which decomposes on heating to form calcium trioxocarbonate(IV).
There is an explanation video available below.
12.

On exposure to the atmosphere, a hydrated salt loses its water of crystallization to become anhydrous. This phenomenon is referred to as

A. efflorescence

B. deliquescence

C. hygroscopy

D. hydrolysis

Detailed Solution

There is an explanation video available below.
13.

16.55g of lead (ll) trioxonitrate (V) was dissolved in 100g of distilled water at 20oC, calculate the solubility of the solute in moldm-3

[Pb = 207, N = 14, O = 16]

A. 0.05 g

B. 2.00 g

C. 1.00 g

D. 0.50g

Detailed Solution

molar mass of pb (N0 3) 2 = 331
Mole = \(\frac{16.55}{331}\)= 0.05 mole
∴0.05mole pb (No3)2 dissolved in 1000g H2O x = \(\frac{0.05\times1000}{100}\)= 0.5 mole /dm 3

A. improve machinery so that the substances released from combustion are less harmful

B. pass strict laws against it by individuals and companies

C. educate people on the causes and effects of pollution

D. convert chemical wastes to harmless substances before releasing them into the environment

Detailed Solution

There is an explanation video available below.
