Answer Details
The white solid obtained when marble (calcium carbonate, CaCO3) is heated to 1473K is calcium oxide (CaO), also known as quicklime. When quicklime reacts vigorously with water, it forms calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2), which is an alkaline solution. Therefore, the solution obtained from the reaction of quicklime with water contains calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2).
Question 2 Report
When heat is absorbed during a chemical reaction, the reaction is said to be
Answer Details
When heat is absorbed during a chemical reaction, the reaction is said to be endothermic. Endothermic reactions are characterized by the absorption of heat energy from the surroundings. In other words, the reactants absorb energy from the environment, usually in the form of heat, to form the products. As a result, the temperature of the surroundings decreases, and the reaction feels cold to the touch. Endothermic reactions can be found in many natural processes, such as photosynthesis, melting of ice, and the evaporation of liquids. These processes require energy to occur, and they absorb heat from the surroundings to power the reaction.
Question 3 Report
A certain volume of gas at 298k is heated such that its volume and pressure are now four times the original values. What is the new temperature?
Answer Details
We can use the ideal gas law to solve this problem, which states that PV = nRT, where P is pressure, V is volume, n is the number of moles of gas, R is the gas constant, and T is temperature in kelvin. If the volume and pressure are both increased by a factor of 4, then the new volume V' and new pressure P' are given by: V' = 4V P' = 4P Substituting these values into the ideal gas law, we get: (4P)(4V) = nR(T') Simplifying this equation, we get: 16PV = nRT' Dividing both sides by PV, we get: 16 = nRT' / PV Since n, R, and P are constant, we can simplify this to: 16 = T' / T Solving for T', we get: T' = 16T Therefore, the new temperature is 16 times the original temperature. Substituting T = 298 K, we get: T' = 16 x 298 K = 4768 K So the correct answer is 4768.0K.

Question 5 Report
Crude petroleum is converted to useful products by the process of?
Answer Details
The process of converting crude petroleum into useful products is known as fractional distillation. Crude petroleum is a mixture of different hydrocarbons, and fractional distillation separates these hydrocarbons based on their boiling points. During the process of fractional distillation, crude petroleum is heated to a high temperature, and the resulting vapors are passed through a tower called a fractionating column. This column contains a series of trays, and each tray contains a specific temperature range. As the vapors rise up the column, they cool and condense into liquids on the tray with a temperature that matches their boiling point. The liquids are then collected and further refined into useful products like gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, and heating oil. Fractional distillation is an important process because it allows us to separate and purify the different components of crude petroleum, which have different properties and uses. For example, gasoline has a lower boiling point and is more volatile than diesel fuel, which makes it ideal for use in cars. By separating these components, we can create products that meet specific needs and requirements.

Answer Details
Question 7 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 8 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

An organic compound which decolorizes bromine water is likely to be?
Answer Details
Question 10 Report
Which of the following will act as both oxidizing agents and reducing agents?
Answer Details
The oxidizing and reducing properties of a substance depend on its ability to gain or lose electrons. A substance that can gain electrons acts as an oxidizing agent, while a substance that can lose electrons acts as a reducing agent. Among the given options, both Cl2 (chlorine gas) and SO2 (sulfur dioxide) can act as both oxidizing and reducing agents depending on the reaction conditions. - Cl2 can act as an oxidizing agent when it gains electrons to form Cl- ions, and it can act as a reducing agent when it loses electrons to form Cl+ ions. For example, in the reaction Cl2 + 2KBr → 2KCl + Br2, chlorine gas is acting as an oxidizing agent since it is gaining electrons from bromide ions to form bromine gas. However, in the reaction 2Cl- + Cl2 → 2Cl2-, chlorine gas is acting as a reducing agent since it is losing electrons to form chloride ions. - SO2 can act as an oxidizing agent when it gains electrons to form sulfite ions (SO32-), and it can act as a reducing agent when it loses electrons to form sulfur trioxide (SO3). For example, in the reaction SO2 + 2H2S → 3S + 2H2O, sulfur dioxide is acting as a reducing agent since it is losing electrons to form elemental sulfur. However, in the reaction 2SO32- + O2 → 2SO42-, sulfur dioxide is acting as an oxidizing agent since it is gaining electrons to form sulfate ions. H2S (hydrogen sulfide) and NH3 (ammonia) are not likely to act as both oxidizing and reducing agents under normal conditions. H2S tends to act as a reducing agent by donating electrons to oxidizing agents, while NH3 tends to act as a reducing agent by donating electrons to oxidizing agents or as a base by accepting protons.
Question 11 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 12 Report
The dehydration of CH3 CH2 CH2 CH2 OH will give?
Question 13 Report
The reactions below represent neutralization reaction, in which of them is the value of ΔH highest?
Answer Details
The reaction with the highest ΔH (change in enthalpy) would be the reaction between HCL and NaOH, which forms NaCL and H2O. This is because the formation of water releases energy in the form of heat, which is reflected in the positive ΔH value for this reaction. When an acid and a base react, they neutralize each other and form a salt and water, with the release of heat being a sign of an exothermic reaction.

Question 16 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.
Question 17 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 18 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 19 Report
Which of the following will precipitate in dil. HCl
Answer Details
Among the given options, only CuS will precipitate in dilute HCl. CuS is insoluble in dilute HCl, and hence it will precipitate when added to dilute HCl. However, the other options will dissolve in dilute HCl, and hence they will not precipitate. ZnS will dissolve in dilute HCl to form ZnCl2 and H2S. Na2S will react with dilute HCl to produce H2S and NaCl. FeS will dissolve in dilute HCl to form FeCl2 and H2S. Therefore, the correct answer is (4) CuS.
Question 20 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 21 Report

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 22 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.

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 28 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 29 Report
Which of the following roles does sodium chloride play in preparation? It
Answer Details
The role that sodium chloride (NaCl) plays in soap preparation is to separate soap from glycerol. When fats or oils are hydrolyzed with an alkali, such as sodium hydroxide (NaOH), the result is a mixture of soap and glycerol. Adding NaCl to this mixture helps to induce the precipitation of the soap, allowing it to be separated from the glycerol. This process is known as "salting out" and is used to purify the soap and remove impurities. Sodium chloride does not react with glycerol or accelerate the decomposition of fat and oil. Also, it does not convert the fatty acid to its sodium salt as this conversion is done by the alkali (such as NaOH) during the saponification process.

Question 32 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 33 Report
Which of the following substances is not a homogeneous mixture?
Answer Details
The substance that is not a homogeneous mixture is flood water. Flood water is typically a mixture of various substances, such as sediment, dirt, debris, and organic matter, that have been carried along by the water. As such, flood water is usually a heterogeneous mixture, meaning that it does not have a uniform composition throughout. In contrast, filtered sea water, soft drinks, and writing ink are all examples of homogeneous mixtures, where the components are evenly distributed and the mixture has a uniform composition throughout.

As a fungicide, copper sulfate is effective in controlling fungal diseases in plants, including mildew, leaf spots, and blights. It is also used as a fungicide in swimming pools to prevent the growth of algae. As a disinfectant, copper sulfate is effective in killing bacteria and viruses. It is used in a variety of applications, including in the production of animal feed, as a preservative for wood, and in water treatment to kill bacteria and algae. While copper sulfate has been used as a fertilizer in the past, its use in this capacity has largely been replaced by other compounds. It is not commonly used as a purifier.
Question 37 Report
An organic compound decolourized acidified KMnO4 solution but failed to react with ammonical AgNO3 solution. The organic compound is likely?
Answer Details
The given information suggests that the organic compound is an unsaturated compound (because it decolorized the acidified KMnO4 solution), but it does not contain a functional group that reacts with ammonical AgNO3 solution. Therefore, the likely organic compound is an alkene or an alkyne. Carboxylic acids can also react with acidified KMnO4 solution, but they would also react with ammonical AgNO3 solution to form a silver carboxylate salt. Alkanes are saturated compounds and do not react with either reagent, so they would not decolorize the acidified KMnO4 solution. Therefore, based on the given information, the most likely option is either an alkene or an alkyne.
Question 39 Report
