Question 1 Report
Which of the following subtances will not produce effervescence with dilute hydeochloric acid?
Answer Details
Sodium chloride will not produce effervescence with dilute hydrochloric acid. When a substance reacts with dilute hydrochloric acid, it produces bubbles of carbon dioxide gas, which causes effervescence. Copper (II) trioxocarbonate (IV), potassium hydrogen trioxocarbonate (IV), and zinc granules are all carbonates that react with hydrochloric acid to produce carbon dioxide gas and effervescence. Sodium chloride, on the other hand, is a halide that does not react with hydrochloric acid, and therefore does not produce effervescence.
Question 2 Report
Which of the following statements is true of an endothermic reaction? I. Heat is absorbed from the surrounding II. The heat content of the products is more than that of the reactants III. The enthalpy change is positive IV. The surrounding is at a lower temperature than the system.
Answer Details
Question 3 Report
Which of the following electron transition results in the emission of energy?
Answer Details
When an electron transitions from a higher energy level to a lower energy level, it releases energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation. The energy of the emitted radiation corresponds to the difference in energy between the two levels involved in the transition. Based on this information, the correct answer to the question is the electron transition from the 3p orbital to the 3s orbital, as this involves a higher energy level (3p) transitioning to a lower energy level (3s), resulting in the emission of energy. The other options involve transitions from lower to higher energy levels, and therefore do not result in the emission of energy.
Question 4 Report
The condensation of several amino acid molecules gives
Answer Details
The condensation of several amino acid molecules gives proteins. A protein is a macromolecule composed of one or more chains of amino acid residues. When two amino acids combine, a peptide bond is formed, and the resulting molecule is called a dipeptide. By continued condensation reactions involving many amino acids, a long chain of amino acids is formed, which is a protein. Therefore, option D, "proteins," is the correct answer.
Question 5 Report
Glucose gives a brick-red precipitate with Fehling's solution because it is
Answer Details
Glucose gives a brick-red precipitate with Fehling's solution because it is a reducing sugar. Fehling's solution contains copper ions (Cu2+) which are reduced to copper (I) oxide (Cu2O) by reducing sugars. The brick-red precipitate is the copper (I) oxide formed in the reaction. Glucose is a reducing sugar because it has a free aldehyde or ketone functional group that can donate electrons and reduce other substances like the copper ions in Fehling's solution.
Question 6 Report
What volume of hydrogen would be left over when 300cm3 of oxygen and 1000cm of hydrogen are exploded in a sealed tube? [2H2(g) + O2(g) → 2H2 Og]
Question 7 Report
Which of the following measures is not suitable for controlling water pollution?
Answer Details
Burning industrial and agricultural wastes before discharge into waterways is not a suitable measure for controlling water pollution. Burning of waste can release harmful chemicals and gases into the air, which can contribute to air pollution. Moreover, burning the waste before discharge into water can increase the temperature of the water, which can have negative effects on aquatic life. Therefore, this measure can actually worsen water pollution and is not a recommended solution. The other options such as treating industrial effluent and domestic sewage before discharge into water, controlling the use of agrochemicals, and recycling industrial and agricultural wastes are effective measures for controlling water pollution.
Question 8 Report
Which of the following properties of elements deceases generally across a period in the Periodic Table?
Answer Details
The correct answer is "Atomic radius". Across a period in the Periodic Table, the atomic radius generally decreases. This is because, as you move from left to right across a period, the number of protons in the nucleus increases, and the number of energy levels or shells remains the same. This results in a greater attractive force between the positively charged nucleus and the negatively charged electrons in the outermost shell, pulling them closer to the nucleus and hence decreasing the atomic radius.
Question 9 Report

Answer Details
Question 10 Report
The mass of an element is 27 and its atomic number is 13. What is the composition of the nucleus of its atom?
Answer Details
The atomic number of an element is equal to the number of protons in its nucleus. In this case, the atomic number is 13. This means the nucleus of the atom contains 13 protons. The mass number of an element is equal to the number of protons plus the number of neutrons in its nucleus. The mass of the element is given as 27. Therefore, the number of neutrons in the nucleus can be calculated as follows: Number of neutrons = Mass number - Atomic number Number of neutrons = 27 - 13 Number of neutrons = 14 So, the composition of the nucleus of the atom is 13 protons and 14 neutrons. Therefore, the correct option is "13 protons and 14 neutrons".
Question 11 Report
The mass of 800cm3 of a gas X at s.t.p. is 1.0g. What is the molar mass of X? [1 mole of a gas at s.t.p occupies 22.4dm 3]
Answer Details
The molar mass of gas X can be determined by using the formula: molar mass = mass / (volume of gas at stp / molar volume of gas at stp) The mass of the gas X is given as 1.0g and the volume of 800cm3 can be converted to dm3 by dividing by 1000: volume of gas at stp = 800cm3 / 1000 = 0.8dm3 The molar volume of a gas at stp is given as 22.4dm3/mol. Substituting these values into the formula, we get: molar mass = 1.0g / (0.8dm3 / 22.4dm3/mol) molar mass = 1.0g / (0.0357mol) molar mass = 28.0g/mol Therefore, the molar mass of gas X is 28.0g/mol. The correct option is: 28.0gmol-1.
Question 12 Report
The key factor to be considered in siting a chemical industry is
Answer Details
The key factor to be considered in siting a chemical industry is its nearness to the source of raw materials. This is because chemical industries rely heavily on the availability and accessibility of raw materials for production. Therefore, the cost of transportation and logistics of raw materials to the industry should be minimized to increase efficiency and profitability. Additionally, the proximity to raw materials reduces the risks of shortages, delays and damages in transit, and fluctuations in prices. Other factors such as favourable climatic conditions, the availability of space to store raw materials, and nearness to other industrial establishments may be important but are usually secondary.
Question 13 Report
The reaction that takes place at the cathode when an aqueous solution of NaCI is electrolysed using carbon electrodes is
Answer Details
The reaction that takes place at the cathode when an aqueous solution of NaCl is electrolyzed using carbon electrodes is: - 2H+2(g) + 2e- → H2(g) During the electrolysis of an aqueous solution of NaCl using carbon electrodes, the NaCl molecules dissociate into Na+ and Cl- ions. The Na+ ions are attracted towards the cathode where they gain electrons and become sodium atoms which are deposited on the cathode. However, water molecules are also present in the solution and can be reduced instead of Na+ ions. The reduction of water molecules results in the production of hydrogen gas. The hydrogen gas bubbles out of the solution, and the overall reaction at the cathode can be represented as: 2H+(aq) + 2e- → H2(g) Therefore, option A is the correct answer.
Question 14 Report
Which of the following equipment is not used to detect radioactivity?
Answer Details
The equipment that is not used to detect radioactivity is the mass spectrometer. A Wilson cloud chamber is a device used to visualize the path of ionizing radiation by producing condensation trails. A Geiger-Muller counter is an instrument used to detect and measure ionizing radiation. A photographic plate can also be used to detect ionizing radiation. However, a mass spectrometer is an analytical instrument used to determine the composition of a sample by separating its components based on their mass-to-charge ratio. It is not specifically designed to detect radioactivity.
Question 15 Report
What of the following pairs of acid and base will produce a solution with pH less than 7 at equivalence point?
Answer Details
Question 16 Report
A nuclide emits a beta-particle (e) in the process, that atomic number
Answer Details
When a nuclide emits a beta-particle (e), a neutron inside the nucleus is converted into a proton and an electron is emitted. The mass number of the nuclide remains constant because the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus remains the same. However, since a neutron is converted into a proton, the atomic number of the nuclide increases by 1, because the atomic number of an element is equal to the number of protons in its nucleus. Therefore, the correct option is: "the atomic number increases by 1 while the mass number remains constant".
Question 17 Report
What is the IUPAC name of CH3CH2COOCH 3?
Answer Details
The IUPAC name of CH3CH2COOCH 3 is methyl propanoate. This is because the compound has a methyl group (-CH3) attached to the third carbon of a propanoic acid (-COOH) molecule, which results in the name "methyl propanoate". The prefix "methyl" indicates the presence of a -CH3 group, and the suffix "-oate" indicates the presence of an ester functional group (-COO-).
Question 18 Report
Which of the following salts is not prepared by precipitation?
Answer Details
Sodium trioxocarbonate (IV) is not prepared by precipitation. Precipitation is a process that involves the formation of an insoluble solid from a solution. Lead (II) trioxocarbonate (IV), barium trioxocarbonate (IV), and calcium trioxocarbonate (IV) are all prepared by precipitation reactions. In the case of sodium trioxocarbonate (IV), it is a soluble salt, and it can be obtained by the reaction between sodium hydroxide and carbon dioxide. Thus, it is not prepared by precipitation, and this is the correct answer.
Question 19 Report
A metal X forms two chlorides with the formulae XCI2 and XCI3. Where is X in the Periodic Table?
Answer Details
Metal X forms two chlorides with formulae XCI2 and XCI3. The Roman numeral in the name of a metal chloride indicates the charge of the metal ion. The chlorine atom has a fixed charge of -1. Since the formula of XCI2 has two chlorine atoms, the total charge contributed by the chlorine atoms is -2. Therefore, the charge of the metal ion in XCI2 must be +2 in order for the compound to be electrically neutral. Likewise, the charge of the metal ion in XCI3 must be +3 in order for the compound to be electrically neutral. From the above information, we can conclude that the metal X has variable oxidation states of +2 and +3. This means that the metal X must be a transition metal and located in the d-block of the periodic table. Therefore, the correct answer is "d-block."

Kerosene is one of the fractions that is obtained from the distillation of crude oil. Upon redistillation, the kerosene fraction further separates into different components, including vaseline and paraffin wax. Therefore, the correct option is kerosene.
Question 22 Report
Which of the electrons in the following orbitals will experience the greatest nuclear attraction?
Answer Details
The nuclear attraction experienced by an electron depends on the distance between the electron and the nucleus and the number of protons in the nucleus. The greater the number of protons in the nucleus, the greater the nuclear attraction experienced by an electron. Therefore, out of the given options, the 1s electron of helium will experience the greatest nuclear attraction since it has the smallest atomic number and the least distance from the nucleus. The 1s electron of potassium will have the least nuclear attraction since it has the largest atomic number and the greatest distance from the nucleus. The 2s electron of carbon and the 2p electron of boron will have intermediate nuclear attraction.

Which of the following compounds is a soapless detergent?
Answer Details
The compound that is a soapless detergent is C 12H 25OSO3Na. Soapless detergents are also known as synthetic detergents, and they are produced from organic compounds. They do not contain any soap, hence the name soapless. They are usually made by combining an alkyl benzene or a long-chain alcohol with a sulfonic acid or a sulfuric acid, which creates a compound that is highly effective at removing dirt and grease from surfaces. This compound is a sodium alkyl benzene sulfonate, which is a type of synthetic detergent commonly used in household cleaning products.

Question 26 Report
Consider the cell represented below: Zn/Zn2+(aq) // Cu2+(aq) / Cu(s). Which of the following statements is correct about the cell
Answer Details
The correct statement about the cell represented as Zn/Zn2+(aq) // Cu2+(aq) / Cu(s) is that Zn is oxidized to Zn2+. In this cell, the zinc metal (Zn) is the anode, where oxidation occurs. Zn atoms lose electrons to form Zn2+ ions, which go into solution as Zn2+(aq). The electrons released in the oxidation of Zn are transferred through the external circuit to the cathode, which is the copper metal (Cu) electrode. The Cu2+ ions in solution gain electrons and are reduced to form copper metal, which deposits on the electrode as Cu(s). The double line in the cell notation represents the salt bridge, which completes the circuit by allowing the flow of ions between the two half-cells. It prevents the mixing of the solutions in the half-cells, which could disrupt the electrochemical reaction. Therefore, the correct option is "Zn is oxidized to Zn2+".
Question 27 Report
Which of the following pollutants is biodegradable?
Answer Details
Domestic sewage is biodegradable. Biodegradable means that a substance can be broken down by living organisms such as bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms. Domestic sewage consists of organic matter such as food waste and human waste, which can be decomposed by microorganisms. The process of decomposition breaks down the organic matter into simpler compounds that can be absorbed by the soil, making domestic sewage a natural fertilizer. Therefore, domestic sewage can be biodegraded by microorganisms in the soil or in wastewater treatment plants.
Question 28 Report
An orange drink concentrate is suspected to contain traces of poisonous green dye and a harmless dye having the same boiling point. Which of the following techniques is most suitable for isolating the dyes?
Answer Details
Paper chromatography is the most suitable technique for isolating the dyes in the orange drink concentrate. This is because paper chromatography can separate the components of a mixture based on their solubility and polarity, which is exactly what is needed to separate the two dyes. The technique involves placing a small amount of the mixture on a piece of paper and allowing the components to move up the paper as a solvent travels up the paper. The dyes will move at different rates depending on their solubility and polarity, allowing them to be separated and identified. Fractional distillation separates components based on their boiling points, which is not useful in this case since the dyes have the same boiling point. Coagulation involves the clumping of particles in a liquid, which is not applicable in this scenario. Recrystallization is used to purify solids and is not applicable for isolating dyes from a liquid mixture.

The process of seeding during the extraction of aluminium involves the addition of pure AI(OH)3 crystals in order to
Answer Details
The addition of pure AI(OH)3 crystals during the extraction of aluminium is called seeding. The purpose of seeding is to facilitate the precipitation of solid Al(OH)3. When the pure AI(OH)3 crystals are added, they act as nucleation sites where additional Al(OH)3 molecules can deposit and grow. This results in the formation of larger and more uniform particles of Al(OH)3, which can be easily separated from the solution. Therefore, the correct option is "facilitate the precipitation of solid."

What is the change in the oxidation number of 1- in the reaction represented by the following equation? 51 -1(aq) + 6H+(aq) + 1O-3(aq) → 312(g) + 3H2O(l)
Answer Details
The oxidation number of an ion is the charge of the ion. The oxidation number of 1- is -1. In the equation, the reactant 51 -1(aq) is being oxidized because its oxidation number is changing from -1 to 0. Thus, the change in the oxidation number of 1- is from -1 to 0, which means an increase in oxidation number or a loss of electrons. Therefore, the answer is -1 to 0.
Question 34 Report
A solution of zinc chloride should not be stored in a container made of
Answer Details
A solution of zinc chloride should not be stored in a container made of aluminium. This is because zinc chloride is a corrosive substance and reacts with aluminium to form aluminium chloride and zinc metal. This reaction can lead to the weakening and eventual failure of the container, potentially causing a hazardous spill. Therefore, it is important to store zinc chloride in containers made of materials that are resistant to its corrosive properties, such as glass, plastic, or certain types of metals.

Answer Details
When ammonium trioxocarbonate (IV) solution is added to separate solutions of calcium, zinc and sodium salt, precipitates could be formed in the case of calcium and zinc only. The ammonium trioxocarbonate (IV) solution reacts with the calcium and zinc ions in the solutions to form insoluble carbonates as follows: Ca2+ + CO32- → CaCO3(s) Zn2+ + CO32- → ZnCO3(s) These carbonates are insoluble in water and will form precipitates in the solutions. The sodium ion does not react with the ammonium trioxocarbonate (IV) solution and therefore, no precipitate will be formed in its solution.
Question 39 Report
One of the characteristics of transition metals is
Answer Details
One of the characteristics of transition metals is the formation of coloured ions. Transition metals have partially filled d-orbitals, which allow for the absorption and reflection of certain wavelengths of light. When transition metals form ions, the arrangement of electrons in the d-orbitals changes, causing the ion to absorb and reflect different wavelengths of light. This results in the ion having a different colour than the original metal. Therefore, the ability of transition metals to form coloured ions is one of their defining characteristics.
Question 40 Report
What quantity of electrons in moles is needed to discharge two moles of aluminum from aluminum oxide (AI 2O3)
Answer Details
In order to discharge two moles of aluminum from aluminum oxide (Al2O3), each Al3+ ion in the Al2O3 must be reduced to Al metal, which requires the gain of three electrons per Al3+ ion. Therefore, for two moles of aluminum, there are 2 x Avogadro's number (6.022 x 1023) of Al3+ ions that need to be reduced, and each of these requires 3 electrons. Thus, the total number of electrons needed is 2 x Avogadro's number x 3 = 3.612 x 1024 electrons, which can be expressed as 6 moles of electrons. Therefore, the correct answer is 6.
Question 41 Report
