Question 3 Report
An organic compound with fishy smell is likely to have a general formula?
Answer Details
The organic compound with a fishy smell is most likely to have the general formula RNH2, which represents a primary amine. Amines are organic compounds that contain a nitrogen atom bonded to one or more carbon atoms. Primary amines have one alkyl or aryl group and two hydrogen atoms bonded to the nitrogen atom. Some primary amines have a fishy smell, which is caused by the presence of volatile amines. These amines are small molecules that can easily evaporate and have a strong odor, similar to that of fish. Examples of compounds that have a fishy smell include trimethylamine, which is found in fish, and butylamine, which is used in the production of rubber and pharmaceuticals. In summary, the organic compound with a fishy smell is likely to have the general formula RNH2, which represents a primary amine.
Question 4 Report
30 cm3 of oxygen at 10 atmosphere pressure is placed in a 20 dm3 container. Calculate the new pressure if the temperature is kept constant.
Answer Details
Given:
First, convert all volumes to the same units. Since 1 dm3dm3 is 1000 cm3cm3:
𝑉2=20 dm3=20×1000 cm3=20000 cm3V2=20dm3=20×1000cm3=20000cm3
Now, using Boyle's Law:
𝑃1𝑉1=𝑃2𝑉2P1V1=P2V2
Substitute the known values into the equation:
10×30=𝑃2×2000010×30=P2×20000
300=𝑃2×20000300=P2×20000
Solve for 𝑃2P2:
𝑃2=30020000P2=20000300
𝑃2=0.015 atmospheresP2=0.015atmospheres
Therefore, the new pressure if the temperature is kept constant is:
Question 5 Report
Zn + 2HCL → ZnCl2 + H2
What happens to zinc in the above reaction?
Answer Details
In the above reaction, zinc (Zn) reacts with hydrochloric acid (HCl) to form zinc chloride (ZnCl2) and hydrogen gas (H2). The chemical equation for the reaction is: Zn + 2HCl → ZnCl2 + H2 During the reaction, zinc atoms lose two electrons each and get oxidized to form positively charged zinc ions (Zn2+), as they react with the hydrogen ions (H+) from the hydrochloric acid to form zinc chloride. The hydrogen ions, on the other hand, gain an electron each and get reduced to form hydrogen gas molecules (H2). Therefore, in the given reaction, zinc is getting oxidized, as it loses electrons and forms a positively charged ion. Hence, the correct option is "oxidized."
Question 6 Report
H2SO4 is used to remove rust on the surface of iron (picking) before electroplating. The type of reaction involved is
Answer Details
The type of reaction involved when using H2SO4 to remove rust on the surface of iron is a redox reaction. This is because the sulfuric acid oxidizes the iron in the rust, converting it into iron(II) sulfate, while the acid itself is reduced to sulfur dioxide. The overall reaction can be written as follows: Fe2O3(s) + 3H2SO4(aq) → Fe2(SO4)3(aq) + 3H2O(l) In this reaction, the iron in Fe2O3 is oxidized from a +3 to a +2 oxidation state, while the sulfur in H2SO4 is reduced from a +6 to a +4 oxidation state. This transfer of electrons between the reactants is what defines a redox reaction.
Question 7 Report
On the basis of the electrochemical series, which of these ions will show the greater tendency to be discharged at the cathode in an electrolytic cell
Answer Details
The electrochemical series is a list of metals and ions arranged in order of their decreasing tendency to lose or gain electrons, and thus, their ability to act as reducing or oxidizing agents. The higher the position of a metal or ion in the electrochemical series, the greater its tendency to lose electrons and undergo oxidation, while the lower its position, the greater its tendency to gain electrons and undergo reduction. In an electrolytic cell, the cathode is the electrode where reduction occurs, meaning that cations (positively charged ions) are attracted and gain electrons to form neutral atoms or molecules. Based on the electrochemical series, the ion with the higher position in the series will have a greater tendency to gain electrons and be discharged at the cathode, while the ion with the lower position will have a lower tendency and may not be discharged at all. Among the given options, the electrochemical series order is: Cu2+ > Sn2+ > Fe2+ > Zn2+ Therefore, Cu2+ has the highest tendency to be discharged at the cathode and undergo reduction, while Zn2+ has the lowest tendency. So, in an electrolytic cell, Cu2+ will be discharged at the cathode, while Zn2+ may not be discharged at all, depending on the conditions of the cell.
Question 8 Report

Question 10 Report
The oxidation number of oxygen in BaO2 is
Answer Details
To determine the oxidation number of oxygen in BaO2, we can use the fact that the overall charge of a compound must be zero. Barium (Ba) is a Group 2 element and has an oxidation state of +2. The compound BaO2 has no net charge, so the sum of the oxidation states of all the atoms must be zero. Let x be the oxidation state of oxygen in BaO2. Therefore, we have: (+2) + 2(x) = 0 Solving for x, we get: x = -1 Therefore, the oxidation number of oxygen in BaO2 is -1.
Question 11 Report
Which of the following compound is NOT the correct formed compound when the parent metal is heated in air?
Answer Details
The compound that is NOT correctly formed when the parent metal is heated in air is: tri-iron tetraoxide (Fe2O). This is because the correct compound formed from the heating of iron in air is iron (III) oxide or Fe2O3. The formula for tri-iron tetraoxide is incorrect, as it implies that there are only three iron atoms in the compound when there should be four.
Question 14 Report
How many neutrons are present in atom with mass number and atomic number 37 and 17 respectively?
Answer Details
The atomic number of an atom represents the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom. Since the atomic number given is 17, it means that there are 17 protons in the nucleus. The mass number of an atom represents the total number of protons and neutrons present in the nucleus. Therefore, if the mass number is given as 37, it means that the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus is 37. To determine the number of neutrons in the nucleus, we can subtract the atomic number (which represents the number of protons) from the mass number (which represents the total number of protons and neutrons). Thus, the number of neutrons in the atom with a mass number of 37 and an atomic number of 17 is: Number of neutrons = Mass number - Atomic number = 37 - 17 = 20 Therefore, the answer is 20.
Question 15 Report
A colored gas that is known to be poisonous and can readily damage the mucous lining of the lungs is?
Answer Details
The colored gas that is known to be poisonous and can readily damage the mucous lining of the lungs is chlorine. Chlorine is a highly reactive chemical element that is used in the production of many everyday products, such as paper, textiles, and plastics. It is also used as a disinfectant in swimming pools and water treatment plants. Inhaling chlorine gas can cause severe respiratory problems, including coughing, chest pain, and difficulty breathing. Prolonged exposure to chlorine can cause lung damage, and in extreme cases, it can be fatal. Chlorine gas is also highly irritating to the eyes, skin, and mucous membranes. It is important to handle chlorine with caution and to use appropriate protective gear, such as gloves and respiratory masks, when working with it. Proper ventilation and monitoring of chlorine levels are also essential to prevent exposure to this toxic gas.
Question 16 Report
The sulphide that is commonly used in coating electric fluorescent tubes is?
Answer Details
The sulphide commonly used in coating electric fluorescent tubes is Zinc Sulphide. Zinc Sulphide is a type of material that glows when it is exposed to ultraviolet light. When ultraviolet light is generated inside a fluorescent tube, it excites the Zinc Sulphide particles, causing them to emit visible light. This visible light is what we see as the bright light coming from the tube. So, Zinc Sulphide acts as a phosphor and helps in producing the bright light in fluorescent tubes.
Question 17 Report
There is a large temperature interval between the melting point and the boiling point of metal because:
Answer Details
The correct answer is: "melting does not break the metallic bond but boiling does." The metallic bond is the force of attraction between metal atoms, which holds them together to form a solid. When a metal is heated, its temperature increases, and at a certain point, the energy provided by the heat is enough to overcome the metallic bond and cause the metal to melt. However, even in the liquid state, the metallic bond remains intact, which is why metals have a very high melting point. On the other hand, when the temperature is further increased, the energy provided by the heat becomes enough to break the metallic bond, and the metal atoms become completely detached from one another. This results in the metal boiling and turning into a gas. Because the metallic bond is much stronger than other types of intermolecular forces, such as van der Waals forces, it requires a lot of energy to break, resulting in a large temperature interval between the melting point and boiling point of metal.

Question 21 Report
The following non-metal form acidic oxides with oxygen except?
Answer Details
An acidic oxide is an oxide that reacts with water to form an acidic solution. Non-metals have a greater tendency to form acidic oxides than metals. Therefore, among the given options, the non-metal that does not form an acidic oxide with oxygen would be the one that does not react with water to form an acidic solution. Out of the given options, chlorine is the non-metal that does not form acidic oxides with oxygen. Chlorine reacts with oxygen to form a number of oxides such as chlorine monoxide (Cl2O), chlorine dioxide (ClO2), and chlorine trioxide (ClO3), but none of these oxides react with water to form an acidic solution. Instead, they react with water to form oxyacids or oxoacids such as hypochlorous acid (HClO), chlorous acid (HClO2), and chloric acid (HClO3), which are stronger acids than the oxides. Therefore, the correct answer is chlorine.
Question 22 Report

Question 23 Report
In the preparation of salts, the method employed will depend on the?
Answer Details
The method employed in the preparation of salts will depend on the composition of the salt. Different salts have different chemical properties, and the method used to prepare them will depend on these properties. For example, some salts can be easily dissolved in water, while others are not very soluble and may require the use of a different solvent or special conditions to dissolve. The dissociating ability, stability to heat, and precipitating ability of the salt may also play a role in determining the preparation method, but the most important factor is the composition of the salt.

Question 26 Report
SO2 + O2 → 2SO3
In the reaction above, the most suitable catalyst is?
Answer Details
The most suitable catalyst for the given reaction is vanadium(V)oxide (V2O5). Vanadium(V)oxide is a commonly used catalyst for the oxidation of sulfur dioxide (SO2) to sulfur trioxide (SO3). The reaction is an exothermic reaction, and it occurs at high temperatures (around 450-500°C) in the presence of a catalyst. V2O5 is an effective catalyst for this reaction because it has a high surface area and can provide active sites for the reaction to occur. The vanadium ions in the V2O5 catalyst undergo redox reactions with the sulfur dioxide and oxygen molecules, which promotes the formation of sulfur trioxide. Chromium(VI)oxide and iron(III)oxide are not suitable catalysts for this reaction because they are not effective at promoting the oxidation of sulfur dioxide to sulfur trioxide. Copper(I)oxide can be used as a catalyst for the reaction, but it is not as effective as vanadium(V)oxide.
Question 27 Report
Addition of sodium chloride to water to form a solution would lead to?
Answer Details
The addition of sodium chloride to water to form a solution would lead to a decrease in freezing point and an increase in boiling point. This effect is known as colligative properties, which depend on the concentration of solute particles in a solution. When sodium chloride dissolves in water, it breaks down into sodium ions and chloride ions. These ions occupy space between water molecules and interfere with the formation of ice crystals during freezing. As a result, the freezing point of the solution is lowered below that of pure water. This is why we use salt to de-ice roads and sidewalks during the winter season. Similarly, the presence of solute particles in a solution also raises the boiling point of the solution. The increased concentration of solute particles in the solution causes a decrease in the vapor pressure of the solvent (water), making it harder for the solvent molecules to escape into the gas phase. This means that more energy is required to bring the solution to its boiling point compared to pure water. In summary, the addition of sodium chloride to water forms a solution with lower freezing point and higher boiling point compared to pure water.
Question 28 Report
Wrought iron is obtained by heating cast iron in a furnace with?
Answer Details
Wrought iron is a type of iron that is very malleable and ductile, meaning it can be easily shaped and formed into various objects. It is obtained by heating cast iron in a furnace with haematite, also known as iron(III) oxide. When cast iron is heated with haematite in a furnace, a chemical reaction takes place where the haematite reacts with the carbon in the cast iron to produce carbon dioxide gas. This reaction also produces molten iron, which is then further heated to remove any impurities like sulfur and phosphorus. This molten iron is then poured into molds to form ingots of wrought iron. Therefore, haematite is essential in the process of obtaining wrought iron from cast iron.
Question 29 Report
Which of the following is used as a moderator to control nuclear fission?
Answer Details
Heavy water (D2O) is used as a moderator to control nuclear fission. A moderator is a substance that is used to slow down the neutrons produced in a nuclear reaction, making them more likely to be captured by the fuel nuclei and causing further fission. Heavy water is a type of water that contains a larger amount of the isotope deuterium (D) than regular water. Deuterium has an extra neutron compared to the more common hydrogen isotope, and this makes heavy water more effective at slowing down neutrons than regular water. Lead, iron, and chromium are not typically used as moderators in nuclear reactors. Lead can be used as a shield to absorb radiation, while iron and chromium are used in the construction of the reactor vessel and other components.
Question 30 Report
Which of the following increases as boiling water changes to steam?
Answer Details
The degree of disorder of the system increases as boiling water changes to steam. When water is boiled and changes to steam, the water molecules gain energy and become more disordered, which means that the molecules move more rapidly and the entropy of the system increases. The temperature of the system also increases during this process, but the degree of disorder is the factor that specifically increases as the water changes to steam. The number of molecules and activation energy remain constant during this phase transition.
Question 31 Report
Answer Details
Carbon dioxide (CO2) has a linear molecular geometry, with two oxygen atoms bonded to the central carbon atom. Each bond between carbon and oxygen is a double bond, consisting of two pairs of electrons shared between the atoms. Therefore, there are two bonding pairs in each of the carbon-oxygen double bonds, giving a total of four bonding pairs in CO2. The answer is 4.
Question 32 Report
2H2 + O2 → 2H2 O
From the equation above, calculate the volume of unreacted oxygen gas if a mixture of 50cm3 of hydroden and 75cm3 of oxygen are involved
Answer Details
The balanced chemical equation shows that 2 moles of hydrogen gas react with 1 mole of oxygen gas to produce 2 moles of water vapor. Therefore, the stoichiometric ratio of hydrogen to oxygen is 2:1. In this problem, there are 50cm3 of hydrogen gas and 75cm3 of oxygen gas. Since the gases are at the same temperature and pressure, their volumes are directly proportional to the number of moles of gas present. Using the stoichiometric ratio, we can calculate that the amount of oxygen gas required to react completely with 50cm3 of hydrogen gas is (1/2) * 50cm3 = 25cm3. Since there are 75cm3 of oxygen gas present, there must be (75cm3 - 25cm3) = 50cm3 of unreacted oxygen gas remaining. Therefore, the volume of unreacted oxygen gas is 50cm3. Answer: 50cm3
Question 33 Report
N2 O4 ? 2NO2 (? = -ve)
From the reaction above, which of these conditions would produce the highest equilibrium yield for N2 O4 ?
Answer Details
The highest equilibrium yield of N2O4 would be produced at low temperature and low pressure. In a chemical reaction, the position of the equilibrium can be influenced by changing the temperature or pressure. A decrease in temperature or an increase in pressure favors the side of the reaction with the fewer moles of gas (in this case, N2O4). This means that, if the temperature is low and the pressure is low, there will be more N2O4 at equilibrium, as the reaction will shift to the right to counteract the reduction in the concentration of N2O4. So, low temperature and low pressure would produce the highest equilibrium yield of N2O4.

Answer Details
When air is passed through alkaline pyrogallol, the oxygen in the air is absorbed by the pyrogallol, resulting in an increase in the weight of the pyrogallol. The other gases in air, namely nitrogen, neon, and argon, do not react with pyrogallol under these conditions. Therefore, the answer is oxygen.

Question 38 Report
The sub-atomic particles located in the nucleus of an atom are?
Answer Details
The sub-atomic particles located in the nucleus of an atom are neutron and proton. The nucleus is the dense core of an atom that contains most of its mass. Protons are positively charged particles found in the nucleus, and they determine the atomic number of the element. Neutrons are neutral particles found in the nucleus, and they help stabilize the nucleus by balancing the repulsive forces between the positively charged protons. Electrons, on the other hand, are negatively charged particles that are located outside the nucleus in energy levels or shells. They are attracted to the positively charged nucleus by electrostatic forces and are involved in chemical bonding between atoms. The number of protons in the nucleus determines the identity of the element, while the number of neutrons determines its isotopes. Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons in the nucleus. In summary, the two sub-atomic particles located in the nucleus of an atom are neutron and proton.
