# Question Ans
1.

25cm3 of a gas X contains Z molecules at 15oC and 75 mmHg. How many molecules will 25 cm3 of another gas Y contain at the same temperature and pressure?

A. 2 Y

B. 2 Z

C. Z

D. Y

C

2.

What mass of water is produced when 8.0g of hydrogen reacts with excess oxygen?
[H = 1, O = 16]

A. 36.0g

B. 8.0g

C. 72.0g

D. 16.0g

Detailed Solution

2H2 + O2 → 2H2O
4 → 36
8 → X
X → (8/6) * 36
= 72.0g
3.

A particle that contains 9 protons, 10 neutrons and 10 electrons is a

A. negative ion

B. positive ion

C. neutral atom of non-metal

D. neutral atom of a metal

A

4.

Cancerous growths are cured by exposure to

A. γ - rays

B. β - rays

C. α - rays

D. infrared rays

A

5.

An oxide XO2 has a vapour density of 32. What is the atomic mass of X?

A. 32

B. 20

C. 14

D. 12

Detailed Solution

XO2 → 32 * 2
X + 16 * 2 → 64
X = 64 - 32
=32
6.

Millikan's contributions to the development of atomic theory is the determination of

A. charge on electron

B. positive rays

C. charge to mass ratio

D. cathode rays

A

7.

Four elements W, X, Y and Z have atomic number 2,6,16 and 20 respectively. Which of these elements is a metal?

A. X

B. W

C. Z

D. Y

C

8.

An elements X with relative atomic mass 16.2 contains two isotopes 168X with relative abundance of 90% and m8X with relative abundance of 10%. The value of m is

A. 16

B. 18

C. 12

D. 14

Detailed Solution

168X, m8X
16 * (90/100) + m * (10/100) = 16.2
1440 + 10m = 1620
10m = 180
m = 18
9.

Which of the following statements is correct about the average kinetic energy of the molecules of a gas?

A. It increase with increase in pressure

C

10.

The pollution from petroleum spillage in rivers and lakes can best be dispersed by

A. Pouring detergents

B. Passing of ships through the area

C. Pouring organic solvents

D. Evaporation

A
