Question 1 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.

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
Sieving is a technique used to separate mixtures containing solid particles of different sizes. A sieve is a mesh or perforated screen that is used to separate particles based on their size. The mixture is poured onto the sieve, and the particles that are too large to pass through the holes are left on top, while the smaller particles fall through the holes and are collected below. This process allows for the separation of the different-sized particles, making it easier to purify or further process the mixture.
Question 8 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
What is the concentration of a solution containing 2g of NaOH in 100cm3 of solution? [Na = 23, O =16, H = 1]
Answer Details
The concentration of a solution containing 2g of NaOH in 100cm3 of solution is 0.40 moldm-3. This can be calculated by using the formula: molarity (M) = number of moles of solute / volume of solution (in liters) First, we need to calculate the number of moles of NaOH in the solution. The molar mass of NaOH is (23 + 16 + 1) = 40 g/mol. So, 2g of NaOH is equal to 2/40 = 0.05 moles. Next, we need to convert the volume of the solution from cm3 to liters. 1 cm3 = 0.001 liters, so 100 cm3 = 0.1 liters. Finally, we can calculate the molarity as follows: M = 0.05 moles / 0.1 liters = 0.5 mol/L = 0.50 moldm-3 So, the concentration of the solution is 0.50 moldm-3.

The choice of method for extracting a metal from its ores depends on the
Answer Details
The choice of method for extracting a metal from its ores depends on the position of the metal in the electrochemical series. The electrochemical series is a list of metals arranged in order of their ability to gain or lose electrons. The metals at the top of the series (such as sodium and potassium) are very reactive and will readily lose electrons, while those at the bottom (such as gold and platinum) are less reactive and less likely to lose electrons. The position of a metal in the electrochemical series determines the method of extraction that should be used. For example, metals at the top of the series are usually extracted by electrolysis, which involves passing an electric current through a molten compound of the metal. This process is necessary because the metals at the top of the series are very reactive and are strongly bonded to other elements in their ores. On the other hand, metals at the bottom of the series are usually extracted by reduction with carbon or hydrogen. This is because these metals are less reactive and can be separated from their ores by reacting them with a reducing agent that can take away the oxygen and other impurities. Therefore, the position of the metal in the electrochemical series is a crucial factor in determining the method of extraction that should be used to extract it from its ores.

Question 22 Report
Calculate the pH of 0.05 moldm?3 H2 SO4
Answer Details
To solve this problem, we need to use the formula for calculating the pH of a solution, which is: pH = -log[H+] where [H+] is the concentration of hydrogen ions in moles per liter. The given chemical equation is: H2SO4 + 2H2O → 2H3O+ + SO42- From this equation, we can see that one molecule of sulfuric acid (H2SO4) can donate two hydrogen ions (H+) to the solution, which means that the concentration of hydrogen ions is twice the concentration of sulfuric acid. Therefore, the concentration of hydrogen ions in this solution is: [H+] = 2 x 0.05 moldm^-3 = 0.1 moldm^-3 Now we can use the formula for pH: pH = -log[H+] pH = -log(0.1) pH = 1.00 Therefore, the pH of the solution is 1.00.

Answer Details
The figure shows the electrolysis of molten sodium chloride. During electrolysis, an electric current is passed through a molten or dissolved ionic compound to separate the ions. The positive ions move towards the negative electrode (cathode) and the negative ions move towards the positive electrode (anode). In the figure, the electrode connected to the positive terminal of the battery is the anode and the electrode connected to the negative terminal is the cathode. At the anode, the negatively charged chloride ions (Cl-) lose electrons and are oxidized to form chlorine gas (Cl2). At the cathode, the positively charged sodium ions (Na+) gain electrons and are reduced to form liquid sodium metal (Na). Therefore, the answer is (a) anode where the Cl- ions are oxidized. Z is the anode in the figure.
Question 26 Report
Which of the following pairs of substances will react further with oxygen to form a higher oxide?
Question 27 Report
Which of the compounds is composed of Al, Si, O and H?
Answer Details
The compound composed of Al, Si, O and H is clay. Clay is a type of sedimentary rock that is made up of very small mineral particles, including hydrated aluminum silicates and other minerals such as quartz and feldspar. These minerals are rich in aluminum, silicon, oxygen, and hydrogen, which gives clay its unique chemical composition. Clay is formed through a process of weathering and erosion of rocks containing these minerals over a long period of time. As water and other natural forces break down the rocks, the mineral particles become suspended in water and are eventually deposited in sedimentary layers. Over time, these layers become compacted and cemented together, forming the solid clay deposits we see today. Therefore, the answer is option C: Clay.

Answer Details
The process of breaking down large hydrocarbon molecules into smaller molecules by heating them at high temperatures in the presence of a catalyst is known as cracking. This process is used to convert heavy, high-molecular-weight hydrocarbon molecules into lighter, more valuable products such as gasoline and diesel fuel. The high temperatures cause the large molecules to break apart into smaller ones, and the catalyst helps speed up the reaction. This process is important in the petrochemical industry, as it allows for the production of a wider range of useful products from crude oil.

The solubility of the solids that dissolves in a given solvent with the liberation of heat will
Answer Details
The solubility of solids in a given solvent is the amount of solid that can dissolve in the solvent to form a solution. When a solid dissolves in a solvent, it releases heat. The solubility of the solid in the solvent can be affected by changes in temperature. Generally, when the temperature of a solution increases, the solubility of the solid in the solvent increases as well. This is because the increased heat energy makes it easier for the solid particles to separate and dissolve in the solvent. As a result, the solubility of the solid in the solvent will increase with an increase in temperature. On the other hand, if the temperature decreases, the solubility of the solid in the solvent decreases. This is because the decreased heat energy makes it harder for the solid particles to separate and dissolve in the solvent. As a result, the solubility of the solid in the solvent will decrease with a decrease in temperature. In summary, the solubility of solids in a given solvent will generally increase with an increase in temperature and decrease with a decrease in temperature.
Question 40 Report
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.
