Question 1 Report
A given amount of gas occupies 10.0dm5 at 4atm and 273°C. The number of moles of the gas present is [Molar volume of gas at s.t.p = 22.4dm3
]
Answer Details
The ideal gas law is PV = nRT, where P is pressure, V is volume, n is the number of moles, R is the gas constant, and T is temperature. We can use this equation to solve for the number of moles of gas present. First, we need to convert the volume from dm5 to dm3, which is the same as liters (L). So, 10.0 dm5 is equal to 10.0/1000 = 0.01 dm3 or 0.01 L. Next, we need to convert the temperature from Celsius to Kelvin by adding 273 to get 546 K. Now we can plug in the values we have into the ideal gas law: 4 atm x 0.01 L = n x 0.0821 L·atm/K·mol x 546 K Simplifying, we get: 0.04 = n x 44.8 Solving for n, we get: n = 0.04/44.8 = 0.00089 mol Finally, we can compare this value to the molar volume of a gas at standard temperature and pressure (STP), which is 22.4 L/mol. To do this, we need to convert the volume of gas we have to STP conditions. Since the temperature is already at STP (273 K), we just need to adjust the pressure. Using the ideal gas law, we can solve for the volume at STP: 1 atm x V = 0.00089 mol x 0.0821 L·atm/K·mol x 273 K Simplifying, we get: V = 0.0224 L or 22.4 dm3 Therefore, the amount of gas present is equal to 0.00089 mol, which is less than 1 mol. So the answer is 0.89 mol.

Question 5 Report
If 1 litre of 2.2M sulphuric acid is poured into a bucket containing 10 litres of water and the resulting solution mixed thoroughly, the resulting sulphuric acid concentration will be
Answer Details
When 1 liter of 2.2M sulphuric acid is added to 10 liters of water, the total volume of the resulting solution is 11 liters. To find the resulting concentration of sulphuric acid, we need to use the equation: M1V1 = M2V2 where M1 is the initial concentration, V1 is the initial volume, M2 is the final concentration, and V2 is the final volume. We can plug in the values we know: M1 = 2.2M (the initial concentration of the sulphuric acid) V1 = 1L (the initial volume of the sulphuric acid) M2 = ? (the final concentration we're trying to find) V2 = 11L (the final volume of the resulting solution) Solving for M2, we get: M2 = (M1 x V1) / V2 M2 = (2.2M x 1L) / 11L M2 = 0.2M Therefore, the resulting sulphuric acid concentration is 0.2M or 0.2 moles per liter. In summary, when 1 liter of 2.2M sulphuric acid is mixed with 10 liters of water, the resulting sulphuric acid concentration is diluted to 0.2M. This is because the total volume of the resulting solution is greater than the initial volume of the sulphuric acid, which leads to a decrease in concentration.
Question 6 Report
In the preparation of oxygen by heating KCIO, in the presence of MnO2 only moderate heat is needed because the catalyst acts by 2
Answer Details
The presence of MnO2 acts as a catalyst in the reaction of KCIO2 to produce oxygen. A catalyst is a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without being consumed in the reaction itself. MnO2 acts by lowering the energy barrier of the reaction, which means it reduces the amount of energy required for the reaction to take place. This makes it easier for the reaction to occur, and thus the reaction proceeds at a faster rate. As a result, only moderate heat is needed to provide the initial energy required for the reaction to start. Therefore, the correct answer is: lowering the energy barrier of the reaction.

Answer Details
The boiling of fat and aqueous caustic soda is referred to as saponification. Saponification is the process of converting fat into soap through a reaction with an alkaline substance, such as caustic soda. The reaction results in the formation of soap (a salt of a fatty acid) and glycerol. This process is important in the manufacture of soap, as it allows the fat to be converted into a useful cleaning product.
Question 10 Report
According to Charles' law, the volume of a gas becomes zero at
Answer Details
Charles' law states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature, provided that the pressure remains constant. This means that as the temperature of a gas increases, its volume also increases. However, it is important to note that this law only applies to ideal gases, which are theoretical gases that perfectly follow the laws of thermodynamics. According to Charles' law, the volume of a gas becomes zero at absolute zero, which is approximately -273°C. At this temperature, the gas particles would have no kinetic energy and would be in their lowest energy state. The volume of a real gas would not actually become zero at absolute zero because the gas particles would have some residual intermolecular interactions that would prevent them from completely collapsing to a single point.

Question 12 Report
The number of electrons in the valence shell of an element of atomic number 14 is?
Answer Details
The number of electrons in the valence shell of an element can be determined by using the periodic table and the electron configuration of the element. The valence shell is the outermost shell that contains electrons that are involved in chemical reactions. For an element with atomic number 14, which is silicon, the electron configuration is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p2. The valence shell of silicon is the third shell, which contains 3s2 and 3p2 electrons. Therefore, the number of electrons in the valence shell of silicon is 4 electrons.
Question 13 Report
Which of the following separation techniques can be employed in obtaining solvent from its solution?
Answer Details
The separation technique that can be employed in obtaining a solvent from its solution is evaporation. Evaporation is a process that involves heating a solution to vaporize the solvent, leaving behind the solute. The vaporized solvent can then be condensed and collected as a pure liquid. This technique is commonly used in industry and laboratory settings to recover solvents from solutions, as it is a simple and effective way to purify liquids. Distillation can also be used to separate a solvent from a solution, but it is a more complex process that involves boiling the solution and then condensing the vapors in a separate apparatus. Filtration and precipitation are not suitable for separating a solvent from a solution, as they are primarily used to separate solid particles from a liquid mixture.
Question 14 Report

Question 15 Report
The periodic classification is an arrangement of the elements
Answer Details
The periodic classification is an arrangement of the elements based on their atomic numbers. The periodic table is a chart that lists all the known chemical elements in order of increasing atomic number, arranged in rows and columns according to their electronic structure and chemical properties. The atomic number of an element is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom of that element. Each element has a unique atomic number, which determines its position in the periodic table. The elements are arranged in rows called periods, and in columns called groups or families. Elements in the same group have similar properties because they have the same number of valence electrons, which are the electrons in the outermost shell of the atom. The periodic table is an incredibly useful tool for chemists because it allows them to predict the properties of elements based on their position in the table. For example, elements in the same group tend to form similar compounds, so if you know the properties of one element in a group, you can often predict the properties of the other elements in that group. In summary, the periodic classification is an arrangement of the elements based on their atomic numbers. The periodic table is a chart that organizes the elements into rows and columns based on their electronic structure and chemical properties, allowing scientists to make predictions about the behavior of the elements based on their position in the table.

Question 17 Report
Elements P, Q, R, S have 6, 11, 15, 17 electrons respectively, therefore,
Answer Details
Elements form bonds with other elements in order to attain a stable electron configuration, like the one found in noble gases. There are two types of bonds: covalent and ionic (also called electrovalent). In covalent bonds, two elements share electrons to attain a stable electron configuration. This type of bond is formed between two non-metal elements. In ionic bonds, one element donates electrons to another element, creating ions. This type of bond is formed between a metal and a non-metal element. Based on the information given, we can deduce the following: - P is a metal, as it has only 6 electrons. - Q is a non-Metal, as it has 11 electrons. - R is a metal, as it has 15 electrons. - S is a non-Metal, as it has 17 electrons. So, from this information, we can conclude that: - P will form an ionic bond with R, as P is a metal and R is a metal. - Q will form a covalent bond with S, as Q is a non-Metal and S is a non-Metal. Therefore, the correct answer is "Q will form a covalent bond with S."

Which of these sources of water may likely contain the least concentration of Ca2+ and Mg2+ ?
Answer Details
The source of water that is likely to contain the least concentration of Ca2+ and Mg2+ is tap water. Tap water is treated and processed before it is made available for consumption, which often involves removing minerals such as calcium and magnesium. Spring water and river water, on the other hand, are naturally occurring and generally contain higher levels of minerals. Sea water has the highest concentration of minerals, including Ca2+ and Mg2+.

During the electrolysis of copper II sulphate between platinum electrodes, if litmus solution is added to the anode compartment
Answer Details
During the electrolysis of copper II sulphate between platinum electrodes, if litmus solution is added to the anode compartment, the litmus will turn red and oxygen gas will be evolved. This is because during electrolysis, the positively charged copper ions (Cu2+) in the copper II sulphate solution are attracted to the negative cathode electrode, where they gain electrons and are reduced to form solid copper. At the same time, the negatively charged sulphate ions (SO42-) are attracted to the positive anode electrode, where they lose electrons and are oxidized to form oxygen gas and water. The litmus added to the anode compartment turns red because of the formation of oxygen gas, which is a highly reactive oxidizing agent that can react with the litmus to cause it to turn red. No hydrogen gas is evolved because hydrogen is produced at the cathode, which is in a separate compartment from the anode where the litmus is added.
Question 24 Report
A balanced chemical equation obeys the law of
Answer Details
A balanced chemical equation obeys the law of conservation of mass. This means that in a chemical reaction, the total mass of the reactants must be equal to the total mass of the products. In other words, atoms cannot be created or destroyed during a chemical reaction, only rearranged. For example, if we burn a piece of wood, the mass of the ashes and the gases released will be equal to the mass of the original wood. This is because the atoms in the wood (carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, etc.) are rearranged during the burning process to form new molecules, but the total number of atoms remains the same. By balancing a chemical equation, we ensure that the same number and type of atoms are present on both sides of the equation, which satisfies the law of conservation of mass.
Question 25 Report
The type of bonding in [Cu(NH3 )4 ]2+ is
Answer Details
The type of bonding in [Cu(NH3)4]2+ is coordinate bonding. Coordinate bonding (also known as dative covalent bonding) is a type of covalent bonding where one atom (in this case, the nitrogen atom in NH3) donates a pair of electrons to another atom or ion (in this case, the copper ion Cu2+). The donating atom is called the ligand, and the receiving atom or ion is called the central metal ion. In [Cu(NH3)4]2+, each ammonia molecule (NH3) donates a lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom to the copper ion, forming four coordinate bonds between the ligands and the central copper ion. The presence of coordinate bonds is indicated by the use of square brackets around the coordination compound, and the charge on the compound is indicated by the superscript outside the brackets. Therefore, the answer is option A: coordinate.

The Consecutive members of an alkane homologous series differ by
Answer Details
The consecutive members of an alkane homologous series differ by a CH2 unit. This means that each successive member of the alkane series has one more CH2 unit than the previous member. For example, consider the simplest alkane, methane (CH4). The next member of the series is ethane (C2H6), which differs from methane by one CH2 unit. The next member after that is propane (C3H8), which differs from ethane by another CH2 unit. This pattern continues for all members of the alkane homologous series. The reason for this is that each carbon atom in the alkane chain must be bonded to four other atoms, which are usually hydrogen atoms. This means that each carbon atom in the chain can only bond to one other carbon atom. Therefore, the length of the alkane chain can only increase by adding CH2 units to the end of the chain. In summary, the consecutive members of an alkane homologous series differ by a CH2 unit because this is the only way to add length to the alkane chain while maintaining the required number of bonds for each carbon atom in the chain.

Which of the following is used to power steam engines?
Answer Details
Coal is the fuel that is typically used to power steam engines. Coal is burned in a furnace to heat water and produce steam, which is then used to power a steam engine. The steam engine converts the energy from the steam into mechanical energy, which can be used to power machines or generate electricity. Coal is a fossil fuel that has been used for centuries as a source of energy, and it played a significant role in the industrial revolution, powering steam engines that were used to drive machines in factories and transport goods and people by train. Today, steam engines are less common as other forms of energy have taken their place, but they remain an important part of our history and technological development.

Diamond is a bad conductor of electricity because its bonding electrons are used in
Answer Details
Diamond is a bad conductor of electricity because of its unique structure and bonding. The carbon atoms in diamond form a covalent network, where each carbon atom is bonded to four other carbon atoms. These bonds are strong and hold the atoms in a rigid three-dimensional structure called a crystal lattice. In a covalent bond, atoms share electrons to form a stable compound. In diamond, each carbon atom shares its valence electrons with four neighboring carbon atoms, forming a very strong covalent bond. All the valence electrons in the crystal lattice are used in covalent bond formation, which means there are no free or mobile electrons to carry an electric current. In other words, the electrons are tightly held in the covalent bonds, making it difficult for them to move around the crystal lattice and conduct electricity. In contrast, metals conduct electricity well because they have delocalized or free electrons that can move through the lattice of positively charged ions. So, diamond, being a covalent network solid, does not have free electrons that can carry an electric current, which is why it is a bad conductor of electricity.

A quantity of electricity liberates 3.6g of Silver from its salt. What mass of aluminium Will be liberated from its salt by the same quantity of electricity? [Al = 27, Ag = 108].
Answer Details
The amount of substance liberated at an electrode during electrolysis is directly proportional to the quantity of electricity passed through the solution. This is known as Faraday's laws of electrolysis. The key to solving this problem is to recognize that the same quantity of electricity is used to liberate both silver and aluminum from their respective salts. We can use the ratio of their molar masses to determine the mass of aluminum liberated. The molar mass of silver (Ag) is 108 g/mol, while the molar mass of aluminum (Al) is 27 g/mol. This means that it takes four times as many moles of aluminum to make the same mass as one mole of silver. Since the same quantity of electricity liberates 3.6g of silver from its salt, it will liberate four times as many moles of aluminum. Therefore, the mass of aluminum liberated is: (4 moles of Al) x (27 g/mol) = 108 g So, the mass of aluminum liberated is 0.108 g, or 0.1 g to one significant figure. Therefore, the answer is option D: 0.3g.

Answer Details
The equilibrium constant for a chemical reaction is a measure of the balance between the reactants and products of a reaction at a particular temperature. The equilibrium constant is given by the ratio of the product of the concentration of the products raised to their stoichiometric coefficients, to the product of the concentration of the reactants raised to their stoichiometric coefficients. In the equation ME + nF -> pG + qH, the correct expression for the equilibrium constant is [G]^p * [H]^q / [E]^m * [F]^n, represented by.
Question 35 Report
The Sulphide which is insoluble in dilute hydrochloric acid is
Answer Details
The sulphide which is insoluble in dilute hydrochloric acid is Copper Sulphide (CuS). When metal sulphides react with hydrochloric acid, they undergo an acid-base reaction to produce hydrogen sulphide gas and the corresponding metal chloride. For example, when Iron Sulphide (FeS) reacts with hydrochloric acid, it forms hydrogen sulphide gas (H2S) and iron chloride (FeCl2) as follows: FeS + 2HCl → H2S + FeCl2 However, Copper Sulphide (CuS) does not react with dilute hydrochloric acid, as it is insoluble in this acid. This is due to the fact that CuS is a much less reactive metal sulphide compared to FeS and ZnS, and therefore it does not undergo an acid-base reaction with dilute hydrochloric acid. In summary, CuS is the sulphide which is insoluble in dilute hydrochloric acid due to its low reactivity with acids.
Question 36 Report
Which of the following produces relatively few ions in solution?
Answer Details
The correct answer is AI(OH)3. When ionic compounds dissolve in water, they dissociate into their constituent ions, producing charged particles in solution. The more ions a compound produces, the more conductive it is in solution. AI(OH)3, also known as aluminum hydroxide, produces relatively few ions in solution because it is a weak base. When AI(OH)3 dissolves in water, it releases a small amount of Al3+ and OH- ions. In contrast, NaOH, KOH, and Ca(OH)2 are strong bases that dissociate more completely in water and produce more ions in solution. NaOH and KOH produce one hydroxide ion for every sodium or potassium ion, while Ca(OH)2 produces two hydroxide ions for every calcium ion. Therefore, of the options listed, AI(OH)3 produces relatively few ions in solution.

The conductivity of an acid solution depends on the
Answer Details
The conductivity of an acid solution depends on the amount of ions present and their mobilities. When an acid dissolves in water, it forms ions that can carry an electric charge. These ions are what allows the solution to conduct electricity. The more ions there are in the solution, the better it can conduct electricity. However, not all ions have the same mobility or ability to move around in the solution. Ions with a higher mobility can move more easily through the solution, leading to a higher conductivity. Therefore, the conductivity of an acid solution is determined by both the amount of ions present and their mobilities. Other factors such as temperature can also affect conductivity, but the primary factors are the amount and mobility of ions.
