When chlorine water is exposed to bright sunlight, the following products are formed

Answer Details

A cell shorthand notation can be written as A / A${}^{+}$ // B${}^{2+}$ /B. The double slash in the notation represents the 

Answer Details

The double slash in the cell shorthand notation represents the salt bridge. A salt bridge is a component of an electrochemical cell that connects the two half-cells and allows the flow of ions between them. It consists of an inert electrolyte solution (usually a salt) that is placed between the two half-cells. The purpose of the salt bridge is to maintain electrical neutrality in each half-cell by allowing the flow of ions to balance the charge buildup in the half-cells. In the cell shorthand notation, the double slash "//" represents the salt bridge that connects the two half-cells of the electrochemical cell. The first half-cell is represented on the left-hand side of the slash and the second half-cell is represented on the right-hand side of the slash. The anode (where oxidation occurs) is represented on the left side, and the cathode (where reduction occurs) is represented on the right side. Therefore, the correct answer is option number 3: salt bridge.

The heat of formation of ethene, C${}_2$H${}_4$ is 50 kJmol${}^{-1}$, and that of ethane, C${}_2$H${}_6$ is -82kJmol${}^{-1}$. Calculate the heat evolved in the process:

C${}_2$H${}_4$ + H${}_2$ $\to$ C${}_2$H${}_6$

Answer Details

The heat evolved in a chemical reaction can be calculated by subtracting the heat of formation of the reactants from the heat of formation of the products. In this case, the reactants are ethene (C2H4) and hydrogen (H2), and the product is ethane (C2H6). The heat of formation of ethene is 50 kJ/mol and that of hydrogen is 0 kJ/mol (because hydrogen is a reference element). The heat of formation of ethane is -82 kJ/mol. So, the heat evolved in the reaction is given by: Heat evolved = (Heat of formation of products) - (Heat of formation of reactants) = (-82 kJ/mol) - (50 kJ/mol + 0 kJ/mol) = -82 kJ/mol - 50 kJ/mol = -132 kJ/mol. Therefore, the heat evolved in the process is -132 kJ.

Which of the following alkaline metals react more quickly spontaneously with water?

Answer Details

The alkaline earth metals (Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, and Ra) are the second most reactive metals in the periodic table, and, like the Group 1 metals, have increasing reactivity in the higher periods. Beryllium (Be) is the only alkaline earth metal that does not react with water or steam, even if metal is heated to red heat. Additionally, beryllium has a resistant outer oxide layer that lowers its reactivity at lower temperatures.

Magnesium shows insignificant reaction with water, but burns vigorously with steam or water vapor to produce white magnesium oxide and hydrogen gas:

Mg(s) + 2 H2O(l) ⟶ Mg(OH)2(s) + H2(g)

A metal reacting with cold water will produce metal hydroxide. However, if a metal reacts with steam, like magnesium, metal oxide is produced as a result of metal hydroxides splitting upon heating.

The hydroxides of calcium, strontium and barium are only slightly water-soluble but produce sufficient hydroxide ions to make the environment basic, giving a general equation of:

M(s) + 2 H2O(l) ⟶ M(OH)2(aq) + H2(g)

• If metals react with cold water, hydroxides are produced.
• Metals that react with steam form oxides.
• Hydrogen is always produced when a metal reacts with cold water or steam.

Which important nitrogen-containing compound is produced in Haber's process?

Answer Details

The important nitrogen-containing compound that is produced in Haber's process is NH3, which is also known as ammonia. Haber's process is a chemical process used to produce ammonia by reacting nitrogen gas (N2) and hydrogen gas (H2) under high pressure and temperature in the presence of an iron catalyst. The reaction between nitrogen and hydrogen produces ammonia as the main product, along with some nitrogen and hydrogen gases that do not react. NH3 is an important compound that is widely used in industry for the production of fertilizers, plastics, and other chemical products. It is also used as a cleaning agent, a refrigerant, and a fuel for engines. In addition, NH3 is an essential compound for life, as it is a key component of amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins.

Which of the following pairs cannot be represented with a chemical formula?

Answer Details

The pair that cannot be represented with a chemical formula is air and bronze. Air is a mixture of several gases, primarily nitrogen (N₂) and oxygen (O₂), with small amounts of other gases such as argon (Ar), carbon dioxide (CO₂), and neon (Ne). Since air is a mixture and not a pure substance, it cannot be represented by a chemical formula. Bronze, on the other hand, is an alloy composed mainly of copper (Cu) and tin (Sn) with small amounts of other metals. The composition of bronze can vary depending on the specific alloy, but it can be represented by a chemical formula such as CuSn. Sodium chloride (NaCl) is a compound composed of sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl) in a fixed ratio of 1:1, and it can be represented by a chemical formula. Similarly, copper (Cu) and sodium chloride (NaCl) can each be represented by a chemical formula. Cu is an element, so its chemical formula is simply its symbol, while NaCl is a compound with a fixed ratio of sodium and chlorine atoms. Caustic soda (sodium hydroxide, NaOH) and washing soda (sodium carbonate, Na₂CO₃) are both compounds that can be represented by chemical formulas. NaOH consists of one sodium atom, one oxygen atom, and one hydrogen atom, while Na₂CO₃ consists of two sodium atoms, one carbon atom, and three oxygen atoms.

200cm${}^3$ of 0.50mol/dm${}^3$ solution of calcium hydrogen trioxocarbonate (IV) is heated. The maximum weight of solid precipitated is

Answer Details

To solve this problem, we need to use the concept of stoichiometry and the solubility product constant (Ksp) of calcium hydrogen trioxocarbonate (IV). First, we need to write the balanced equation for the reaction that occurs when the solution of calcium hydrogen trioxocarbonate (IV) is heated: Ca(HCO3)2(s) → CaCO3(s) + H2O(g) + CO2(g) From the balanced equation, we can see that 1 mole of calcium hydrogen trioxocarbonate (IV) produces 1 mole of calcium carbonate. Therefore, we need to determine the number of moles of calcium hydrogen trioxocarbonate (IV) in the solution: Number of moles = concentration x volume Number of moles = 0.50 mol/dm³ x 0.2 dm³ Number of moles = 0.1 mol Since 1 mole of calcium hydrogen trioxocarbonate (IV) produces 1 mole of calcium carbonate, the number of moles of calcium carbonate produced will also be 0.1 mol. Next, we need to use the solubility product constant (Ksp) of calcium carbonate to determine the maximum amount of solid that can be precipitated: Ksp = [Ca²⁺][CO3²⁻] Ksp = 3.3 x 10⁻⁹ (at 25°C) At the maximum amount of solid precipitated, all the calcium carbonate formed will have precipitated, and the concentration of calcium ions and carbonate ions will be equal. Therefore, we can assume that the concentration of calcium ions and carbonate ions is both x. Substituting into the Ksp expression: Ksp = x² 3.3 x 10⁻⁹ = x² x = 5.74 x 10⁻⁵ mol/dm³ The mass of calcium carbonate precipitated can now be calculated: Mass = number of moles x molar mass Mass = 0.1 mol x 100.1 g/mol Mass = 10.01 g Therefore, the maximum weight of solid precipitated is approximately 10 g. Note that this calculation assumes that all the calcium carbonate precipitated as a solid, which may not always be the case in a real-world experiment. Additionally, this calculation does not take into account any losses due to filtration or other experimental errors.

Which quantum divides shells into orbitals?

Answer Details

The quantum that divides shells into orbitals is the "Azimuthal" quantum number, also known as the "angular momentum" quantum number. The azimuthal quantum number determines the shape of an electron's orbital, which is a region in space where there is a high probability of finding an electron. It describes the angular momentum of an electron in an atom and the number of subshells within a given shell. Each subshell is associated with a specific shape, and can hold a certain number of electrons. The azimuthal quantum number is represented by the letter "l" and can have integer values ranging from 0 to (n-1), where "n" is the principal quantum number. Each value of "l" corresponds to a different subshell shape: - l = 0 corresponds to an "s" subshell, which is spherical in shape. - l = 1 corresponds to a "p" subshell, which has a dumbbell shape with two lobes. - l = 2 corresponds to a "d" subshell, which has a more complex shape with four lobes and a doughnut-like ring. - l = 3 corresponds to an "f" subshell, which has an even more complex shape with eight lobes. The number of orbitals within a subshell is equal to 2l+1. For example, a "p" subshell (l = 1) has three orbitals (2l+1 = 3), which are labeled as "px", "py", and "pz". In summary, the azimuthal quantum number determines the shape of the electron's orbital and the number of subshells within a given shell, and it is represented by the letter "l".

A compound contains 40.0% carbon, 6.7% hydrogen and 53.3% oxygen. If the molar mass of the compound is 180. Find the molecular formula.

[H = 1, C = 12, O = 16]

Answer Details

The molecular formula of a compound is determined by the number of atoms of each element present in the molecule. To find the molecular formula, we need to determine the number of atoms of each element in the compound. First, we convert the percent composition to grams. For example, 40.0% carbon means 40.0 g of carbon per 100 g of compound. Then we divide the number of grams of each element by the molar mass of each element. For example, 40.0 g of carbon divided by the molar mass of carbon (12 g/mol) gives us 3.33 mol of carbon. Next, we convert the number of moles of each element to the number of atoms by multiplying the number of moles by Avogadro's number (6.022 x 10^23 atoms/mol). Finally, we balance the numbers of atoms of each element by dividing them by the smallest number of atoms of all the elements and rounding to the nearest whole number. In this case, the smallest number of atoms is 2, which is the number of hydrogen atoms. So, we divide the number of atoms of carbon and oxygen by 2 to balance the numbers of atoms of all the elements. Therefore, the molecular formula of the compound is C6H12O6.

Hydrocarbons which will react with Tollen's reagent conform to the general formula

Answer Details

For the general equation of the nature

XP + yQ ⇌ mR + nS, the expression for the equilibrium constant is

Answer Details

The expression for the equilibrium constant for the general equation XP + yQ ⇌ mR + nS is: Kc = [R]m[S]n / [P]x[Q]y where Kc is the equilibrium constant, [R] and [S] are the concentrations of the products, and [P] and [Q] are the concentrations of the reactants, all raised to the stoichiometric coefficients (m, n, x, y) in the balanced equation. This equation is known as the equilibrium constant expression and it represents the ratio of the concentrations of the products and reactants at equilibrium for a particular chemical reaction. The equilibrium constant is a measure of how far a reaction proceeds towards completion, with a larger value indicating a greater extent of reaction. The equilibrium constant expression is derived from the law of mass action, which states that the rate of a chemical reaction is proportional to the product of the concentrations of the reactants raised to their stoichiometric coefficients. At equilibrium, the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal, and the equilibrium constant expression represents the ratio of the rate constants for these two reactions. Therefore, the correct expression for the equilibrium constant for the general equation XP + yQ ⇌ mR + nS is Kc = [R]m[S]n / [P]x[Q]y.

Which of the following represents the kind of bonding present in ammonium chloride?

Answer Details

Ammonium chloride contains both ionic and covalent bonds. In ammonium chloride, the ammonium ion (NH4+) is positively charged and the chloride ion (Cl-) is negatively charged. These ions are held together by ionic bonds, which are formed between positively and negatively charged ions. However, the bond between the hydrogen atom in the ammonium ion and the nitrogen atom in the ammonium ion is also a covalent bond. This type of covalent bond is known as a dative covalent bond, or a coordinate covalent bond, because the electron pair being shared is supplied by one atom only (the nitrogen atom in this case). So, the kind of bonding present in ammonium chloride is both ionic and dative covalent. In simple terms, ammonium chloride contains both ionic bonds between its positive and negative ions, and a dative covalent bond between the hydrogen atom and nitrogen atom within the ammonium ion.

Elements in the periodic table are arranged in the order of their

Answer Details

Elements in the periodic table are arranged in the order of their atomic numbers. The atomic number of an element is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom of that element. The elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number from left to right and from top to bottom in the periodic table. The elements in each row, also known as a period, have the same number of electron shells, while the elements in each column, also known as a group or family, have the same number of valence electrons. This arrangement makes it possible to predict the chemical and physical properties of an element based on its position in the periodic table. Therefore, the correct answer is: - atomic numbers

The reaction $2H_{2}S+S{O}_2\to 3S+2H_{2}O$ is

Answer Details

Burning magnesium ribbon in air removes which of the following

(i) oxygen (ii) nitrogen (iii) argon and (iv) carbon(iv)oxide?

Answer Details

Burning magnesium ribbon in air will remove oxygen (option i) from the air, but not nitrogen (option ii), argon (option iii), or carbon dioxide (option iv). When magnesium burns, it reacts with oxygen in the air to form magnesium oxide. The reaction can be represented by the following equation: 2Mg(s) + O2(g) → 2MgO(s) The magnesium in the ribbon combines with oxygen in the air to form solid magnesium oxide. This reaction is exothermic, which means that it releases heat and light energy. So, when magnesium ribbon is burned in air, it consumes the oxygen in the air to form magnesium oxide. However, nitrogen, argon, and carbon dioxide are not chemically reactive with magnesium, and therefore are not removed from the air by the burning of magnesium ribbon. In summary, the correct option is (i) only - burning magnesium ribbon in air removes oxygen only.

The two ions responsible for hardness in water are

Answer Details

The ions responsible for hardness in water are Ca2+ and/or Mg2+. Hardness in water refers to the presence of calcium and magnesium ions, which are commonly found in natural water sources such as rivers, lakes, and groundwater. These ions can react with soap to form insoluble compounds, reducing the effectiveness of soap and causing scaling in pipes and appliances. The hardness of water is often measured in terms of the concentration of calcium and magnesium ions, expressed as calcium carbonate equivalents (CaCO3).

What volume of 0.100M sodium trioxonitrate (V) solution contains 5g of solute.

[Na = 23, N = 14, O = 16]

Answer Details

To calculate the volume of a solution, we need to use the formula: moles of solute = concentration x volume First, let's find the number of moles of sodium trioxonitrate (V) in 5g of the solute. The molar mass of NaNO3 is: Na = 23 N = 14 3 x O = 3 x 16 = 48 Molar mass = 23 + 14 + 48 = 85 g/mol The number of moles of NaNO3 in 5g is: moles = mass / molar mass = 5 / 85 = 0.0588 moles Now, we can use the formula above to find the volume of the solution: moles of solute = concentration x volume volume = moles of solute / concentration volume = 0.0588 moles / 0.100 M volume = 0.588 litres Therefore, the correct answer is 0.588 litres of 0.100M sodium trioxonitrate (V) solution contains 5g of solute.

Consider the reaction: A + 2B${}_{\left(g\right)}\rightleftharpoons$ 2C + D${}_{\left(g\right)}$ ($\Delta$H = +ve)

What will be the effect of decrease in temperature on the reaction?

Answer Details

The effect of a decrease in temperature on the reaction will be that the rate of the backward reaction will increase. In a chemical reaction, the rate of the forward and backward reactions are determined by the activation energy required for each step and the temperature of the system. When the temperature is decreased, the rate of the reaction decreases, and the rate of the backward reaction increases. This shift in the rate of the backward reaction means that there will be a shift in the position of the equilibrium of the reaction. As the rate of the backward reaction increases, the concentration of the reactants will increase and the concentration of the products will decrease, leading to a decrease in the overall yield of the products. In this reaction, as ΔH (the change in enthalpy) is positive, which means that the reaction is endothermic. Endothermic reactions absorb heat from the surroundings to proceed, so a decrease in temperature will lead to a decrease in the rate of the forward reaction and an increase in the rate of the backward reaction. This shift in the rate of the backward reaction will shift the position of the equilibrium of the reaction to the left, leading to an increase in the concentration of the reactants and a decrease in the concentration of the products.

In the reaction:

M + N → P

ΔH = +Q kJWhich of the following would increase the concentration of the product?

Answer Details

Increasing the temperature would increase the concentration of the product, P. The reaction rate, or the speed at which the reaction occurs, is influenced by temperature. An increase in temperature raises the kinetic energy of the reacting molecules, making it easier for them to collide and react. This leads to a higher rate of reaction and a higher concentration of the product, P. Adding a suitable catalyst can also increase the reaction rate, but it does not directly affect the concentration of the product. Increasing the concentration of P does not affect the reaction itself, but is a result of the reaction having taken place. Decreasing the temperature would slow down the reaction rate and reduce the concentration of the product.

How many alkoxyalkanes can be obtained from the molecular formula C${}_4$H${}_{10}$O?

Answer Details

Alkoxyalkanes have a general formula of R-O-R', where R and R' are alkyl groups. From the given molecular formula C4H10O, we can see that there are four carbon atoms, so the longest possible alkyl group is butyl (C4H9-). To form alkoxyalkanes, we need to attach an oxygen atom to the alkyl group. This can be done in three ways - by attaching the oxygen to one of the terminal carbon atoms (forming a primary alcohol), by attaching it to one of the central carbon atoms (forming a secondary alcohol), or by attaching it to the carbonyl carbon atom (forming an ester). So, we can obtain a maximum of three alkoxyalkanes from the given molecular formula. However, we need to take into account that there are different isomers possible for each type of alcohol or ester, depending on which carbon atom the oxygen is attached to. Therefore, the correct answer is (at least) 3.

2-methylprop-1-ene is an isomer of

Answer Details

2-methylprop-1-ene is an isomer of 3-methyl but-1-ene and 2-methyl but-1-ene. An isomer is a molecule that has the same molecular formula as another molecule, but a different arrangement of atoms. In this case, 2-methylprop-1-ene has the molecular formula C4H8, and so do 3-methyl but-1-ene and 2-methyl but-1-ene. The difference between these three molecules is in the arrangement of the carbon and hydrogen atoms. 2-methylprop-1-ene has a branched structure with a double bond between the first and second carbon atoms. 3-methyl but-1-ene is also a branched molecule, but the double bond is between the second and third carbon atoms. Similarly, 2-methyl but-1-ene has a double bond between the first and second carbon atoms, but it has a different branching pattern. On the other hand, pent-2-ene has five carbon atoms, so it has a different molecular formula than 2-methylprop-1-ene. Therefore, 2-methylprop-1-ene is an isomer of 3-methyl but-1-ene and 2-methyl but-1-ene, but not of pent-2-ene, because it has the same molecular formula and a different arrangement of atoms compared to the other two isomers.

A secondary alkanol can be oxidized to give an

Answer Details

A secondary alkanol is an alcohol with two carbon atoms attached to the carbon bearing the hydroxyl group (-OH). Secondary alkanols can be oxidized by a strong oxidizing agent, such as potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7), to give an alkanone. During the oxidation process, the oxygen atom from the oxidizing agent replaces the hydroxyl group of the secondary alkanol to form a carbonyl group (C=O) in the alkanone. Since alkanones contain a carbonyl group, they are also known as ketones. Therefore, the answer to the question is alkanone, as secondary alkanols can be oxidized to form ketones.

By what amount must the temperature of 200cm${}^3$ of Nitrogen at 27°C be increased to double the pressure if the final volume is 150cm${}^3$ (Assume ideality)

Answer Details

Using the ideal gas law and equation:
$\frac{P_1{V}_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2{V}_2}{T_2}$
$\frac{P_1\times 200{\text{cm}}^3}{300\text{K}}=\frac{2P\times 150{\text{cm}}^3}{T_2}$
Cross multiply:
$T_2=\frac{300\times 150\times 2P}{200\times P}$
$=450\text{K}$ or ${177}^{\circ }\text{C}$
Don't forget to convert to ${}^{\circ }\text{C}$

A radioactive nucleus has a half-life of 20 years, starting with 100,000 particles, how many particles will be left exactly at the end of 40 years

Answer Details

The half-life of a radioactive nucleus is the time it takes for half of its particles to decay. This means that after 20 years, 100,000 particles will become 50,000 particles. After 40 years, we can find the number of particles remaining by counting the number of half-lives that have passed. Since 40 years is double the half-life of 20 years, this means that two half-lives have passed, so the number of particles will be halved twice. Starting with 100,000 particles: - After 1 half-life (20 years), there will be 50,000 particles remaining. - After 2 half-lives (40 years), there will be 25,000 particles remaining. So, exactly at the end of 40 years, there will be 25,000 particles remaining.

Which of the following gases contains the least number of atoms at s.t.p?

Answer Details

At standard temperature and pressure (s.t.p), all gases have the same number of atoms or molecules. What changes between them is the volume they occupy, and this is dependent on their molecular mass and the number of moles. Comparing the number of moles between the gases listed above, 7 moles of argon will contain the most number of atoms, followed by 4 moles of chlorine, then 3 moles of ozone, and finally 1 mole of butane would contain the least number of atoms. In summary, the number of atoms in a gas sample depends on the number of moles, but at s.t.p, the volume occupied by each gas depends on its molecular mass and the number of moles.

Consider the equation below:

Answer Details

Cr${}_2$O${}_7^{2-}$ + 6Fe${}^{2+}$ + 14H${}^{+}$ $\to$ 2Cr${}^{3+}$ + 6Fe${}^{3+}$ + 7H${}_2$O
The oxidation of Cr in Cr${}_2$O${}_7^{2-}$ :
Let the oxidation of Cr = x; 
2x + (-2 x 7) = -2 $⟹$ 2x - 14 = -2
2x = 12 ; x = +6
Hence, the change in oxidation of Cr = +6 to +3

Answer Details

Fractional crystallization is the most suitable technique for separating a binary solution of potassium chloride and potassium trioxochlorate (V). This is because fractional crystallization is a process that separates a mixture of substances based on their solubility in a solvent at a particular temperature. In this case, potassium chloride and potassium trioxochlorate (V) have different solubilities in a solvent such as water at different temperatures. By carefully controlling the temperature, the solubility of each compound can be selectively increased or decreased, allowing them to be separated by crystallization. The less soluble compound will form crystals first and can be separated from the more soluble compound, which remains in the solution. Therefore, fractional crystallization can be used to separate potassium chloride and potassium trioxochlorate (V) in a binary solution.

Which of the following metals is the most essential in the regulation of blood volume, blood pressure and osmotic equilibrium?

Answer Details

The metal that is most essential in the regulation of blood volume, blood pressure, and osmotic equilibrium is sodium. Sodium is a key electrolyte that helps maintain the balance of fluids in the body, including blood volume and blood pressure. Sodium ions are positively charged and are attracted to negatively charged ions, such as chloride (Cl-) and bicarbonate (HCO3-), which together help regulate the pH of the blood. Sodium is also essential for maintaining osmotic equilibrium, which refers to the balance of solutes between cells and the extracellular fluid. Osmotic equilibrium is critical for proper cellular function and is regulated by the movement of water and electrolytes, including sodium, in and out of cells. While the other metals listed (zinc, manganese, and iron) are important for various functions in the body, such as enzyme activity and oxygen transport, they are not directly involved in regulating blood volume, blood pressure, and osmotic equilibrium in the same way that sodium is. Therefore, the answer is not options 1, 2, or 4, and the correct answer is: sodium.

Which of the following is a set of neutral oxides?

Answer Details

Which of the following sets of operation will completely separate a mixture of sodium chloride, sand and iodine?

Answer Details

The set of operations that will completely separate a mixture of sodium chloride, sand, and iodine is: - filtration, to separate the sand and iodine from the sodium chloride - evaporation to dryness, to concentrate the sodium chloride solution and remove any remaining water - sublimation, to separate the iodine as a solid from the remaining sodium chloride By using these operations, you can separate each component of the mixture into separate, pure forms. The order of the operations is important because each step must be done in a way that effectively separates the components and does not interfere with subsequent steps.
