Question 2 Report

Water has the ability to dissolve almost all substance because its molecules has a structure with

one positive end and one neutral end

one positive end and one negative end Correct answer

two negative ends

two positive ends

Answer Details

Water has a unique molecular structure which makes it a universal solvent. A water molecule consists of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. The oxygen atom has a slightly negative charge, while the hydrogen atoms have a slightly positive charge. This uneven distribution of charge creates a polarity in the molecule, with one end being more positively charged and the other end being more negatively charged. Therefore, the correct answer is: "one positive end and one negative end".

lilac

green
Correct answer

yellow

brick-red

Answer Details

When a copper salt moistened with concentrated hydrochloric acid is placed on a platinum wire and introduced into a flame, it produces a characteristic green color. This is due to the emission of photons by excited copper atoms as they return to their ground state. The photons emitted have a wavelength of about 510 nm, which corresponds to the green part of the visible spectrum. Therefore, the correct answer is green.

Question 5 Report

The order in which a mixture of sand, ammonium chloride and sodium chloride can be separated is

dissolution ? dryness ? filtration ? evaporation

filtration ? sublimation ? evaporation ? dryness

sublimation ? dissolution ? filtration ? evaporation Correct answer

dissolution ? filtration ? sublimation ? evaporation

Answer Details

To separate a mixture of sand, ammonium chloride, and sodium chloride, we need to use methods that take advantage of their distinct physical properties: ammonium chloride can sublime, sodium chloride is soluble in water, and sand is neither soluble in water nor sublimes.

The correct order of separation steps should be:

Sublimation: Heat the mixture to sublime the ammonium chloride. Ammonium chloride will transition from solid to gas without passing through the liquid phase, leaving behind sand and sodium chloride.
Dissolution: Dissolve the remaining mixture of sand and sodium chloride in water. Sodium chloride is soluble in water, while sand is not.
Filtration: Filter the mixture to separate the insoluble sand from the sodium chloride solution.
Evaporation: Evaporate the water from the sodium chloride solution to obtain solid sodium chloride.

Given these steps, the correct order is:

C. sublimation → dissolution → filtration → evaporation

In the reaction above, the products give a

purple solution

purple precipitate

colourless precipitate

colourless solution Correct answer

Answer Details

The reaction given is a chemical equation. It represents a chemical change where reactants combine to form products. The equation shows the reactants on the left-hand side and the products on the right-hand side. In this particular equation, the reactants are 5SO2(g), 2KMnO4(aq), and 2H2O(l). The products are K2SO4, 2MnSO4(aq), and 2H2SO4(aq). Now, to answer the question, the equation does not involve any purple solution or purple precipitate, so we can eliminate the first two options. The products of the reaction are K2SO4, 2MnSO4(aq), and 2H2SO4(aq). None of these products is a colourless precipitate, so we can eliminate the third option as well. Therefore, the correct answer is that the products give a colourless solution.

Answer Details

The question is asking why the group IA metals are not found free in nature. The correct answer is "are very reactive and unstable." This means that the group IA metals, such as sodium and potassium, react very easily with other elements in the environment and are not stable enough to exist on their own. They are typically found in combination with other elements, such as sodium chloride (table salt), rather than in their pure, free form. The other options are not correct because they do not explain why the group IA metals are not found free in nature.

When 50cm2 of a saturated solution of sugar of molar mass 342 g at 40oC was evaporated to dryness, 34.2g of dry solid was obtained. The solubility of sugar at 40oC is

2.0 mol dm-3 Correct answer

3.5 mol dm-3

7.0 mol dm-3

10.0 mol dm-3

Answer Details

The question is asking for the solubility of sugar at 40°C given the mass of dry solid obtained after evaporating a known volume of a saturated solution of sugar. To solve this problem, we need to use the formula: Solubility = (mass of solute ÷ molar mass of solute) ÷ (volume of solvent in dm³) Using the given data, we can find the mass of sugar dissolved in 50cm³ of the saturated solution: mass of sugar = 34.2g Next, we need to calculate the number of moles of sugar dissolved: number of moles = mass of sugar ÷ molar mass of sugar = 34.2g ÷ 342g/mol = 0.1mol Finally, we can use the formula to calculate the solubility: solubility = (0.1mol ÷ 0.05dm³) = 2.0 mol dm⁻³ Therefore, the solubility of sugar at 40°C is 2.0 mol dm⁻³. The main labels for this question would be: Chemistry, Solubility, Sugar, Saturated solution, Evaporation, Molar mass, Volume, Mass.

2-methylbut-2-ene has the structure

D Correct answer

Answer Details

The structure of 2-methylbut-2-ene can be determined by identifying the location of the double bond and the position of the methyl group. The name indicates that there are four carbon atoms in the main chain, with a methyl group attached to the second carbon and the double bond between the second and third carbon. Looking at the options, it can be seen that option A and B have the double bond between the first and second carbon, which is incorrect. Option C has the correct position of the double bond, but the methyl group is attached to the first carbon instead of the second carbon. Therefore, the correct structure for 2-methylbut-2-ene is option D, where the double bond is between the second and third carbon and the methyl group is attached to the second carbon.

In which of the following is the oxidation number of sulphur equal to -2?

H2S Correct answer

SO 2

SO 32-

Answer Details

The oxidation number of an element is a number that represents the number of electrons that an atom has gained or lost. In the case of sulfur, it can have different oxidation numbers depending on the compound it is present in. When the oxidation number of sulfur is -2, it means that sulfur has gained two electrons. So, we need to identify the compound in which sulfur has an oxidation number of -2. Out of the given options, only the second option - H2S - contains sulfur with an oxidation number of -2. In H2S, hydrogen has an oxidation number of +1 and sulfur has an oxidation number of -2, which makes the overall charge of the compound neutral. In the other options: - S8 is a form of elemental sulfur and has an oxidation number of 0 since it is uncombined. - SO2 contains sulfur with an oxidation number of +4. - SO32- contains sulfur with an oxidation number of +4. Therefore, the correct answer is the second option - H2S.

carbon (IV) oxide and water Correct answer

carbon (II) oxide and water

Answer Details

When a candle is burned, the heat of the flame melts the wax near the wick. This liquid wax then moves up the wick, where the heat of the flame vaporizes the liquid wax molecules. These vaporized molecules react with oxygen from the air to form new compounds, releasing heat and light in the process. The main products of the combustion of candle wax are carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O). Therefore, the correct answer is "carbon (IV) oxide and water."

Nuclear fission involves the splitting of a heavy element into two nuclei of

nearly equal masses with a relaese of energy and radiaton Correct answer

equal masses with a relaese of energy

equal masses with a release of energy and radiation

unequal masses without any relaese of energy

Answer Details

Nuclear fission is a process in which the nucleus of a heavy atom is split into two nuclei of smaller atoms. In this process, a large amount of energy is released, which can be harnessed for various applications. When the nucleus is split, the two resulting nuclei are not of nearly equal masses, but rather of unequal masses. Additionally, the process results in the release of energy and radiation. Therefore, the correct option is "unequal masses with a release of energy and radiation."

Question 28 Report

An example of aliphatic unsaturated hydrocarbon is

pentane

butanol

propene Correct answer

benzene

Answer Details

An aliphatic unsaturated hydrocarbon is a hydrocarbon that does not contain any aromatic rings and has at least one double or triple bond between its carbon atoms. Pentane is an example of an aliphatic hydrocarbon, but it is not unsaturated, meaning it contains only single bonds between its carbon atoms. Butanol is also aliphatic, but it contains an -OH group and does not have any double or triple bonds. Propene, on the other hand, is an aliphatic unsaturated hydrocarbon because it has one double bond between its two carbon atoms. Finally, benzene is not aliphatic, but rather it is an aromatic hydrocarbon, which contains at least one aromatic ring with alternating double bonds. Therefore, the correct answer is "propene."

Answer Details

The question is asking for the volume of 2.5 moles of oxygen at standard temperature and pressure (s.t.p), given that the molar volume of a gas at s.t.p is 22.4 dm^3. To solve this problem, we can use the following formula: Volume = (number of moles) x (molar volume at s.t.p) Substituting the given values, we get: Volume = 2.5 mol x 22.4 dm^3/mol Volume = 56.0 dm^3 Therefore, the volume of 2.5 moles of oxygen at s.t.p is 56.0 dm^3. So, the answer is the last option: 56.0 dm^3.
