Antwortdetails

Sulphur exists in six forms in the solid state. This property is known as

Antwortdetails

The property of sulfur existing in six different forms in the solid-state is known as allotropy. Allotropy is a phenomenon where an element can exist in multiple forms, called allotropes, that have different physical and chemical properties but are composed of the same atoms. These different forms arise due to differences in the arrangement of atoms or molecules within the substance. In the case of sulfur, it can exist in multiple solid-state allotropes, including rhombic, monoclinic, and plastic sulfur, among others. Each of these allotropes has a different crystal structure, melting point, and other physical and chemical properties, even though they are all composed of sulfur atoms. Allotropy is a common phenomenon observed in many elements, including carbon, oxygen, and phosphorus, among others.

Methane is prepared in the laboratory by heating a mixture of sodium ethanoate with soda lime. The chemical constituent(s) of soda lime is/are

Antwortdetails

The chemical constituent of soda lime used to prepare methane in the laboratory is Ca(OH)2 (calcium hydroxide) and NaOH (sodium hydroxide). Soda lime is a mixture of these two compounds. When sodium ethanoate (NaC2H3O2) is heated with soda lime, it undergoes a reaction known as the Kolbe's reaction, which produces methane gas (CH4) as one of the products. The reaction can be represented as follows: 2NaC2H3O2 + 2Ca(OH)2 → 2CH4 + 2NaOH + 2CaCO3 In this reaction, the sodium ethanoate reacts with the calcium hydroxide to form calcium acetate (Ca(C2H3O2)2) and sodium hydroxide. The calcium acetate then decomposes to produce methane gas and calcium carbonate (CaCO3), which is a solid precipitate. Therefore, the chemical constituents of soda lime used to prepare methane in the laboratory are calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH).

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${}_6$

Antwortdetails

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

Antwortdetails

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 conditions will most enhance the spontaneity of a reaction?

Antwortdetails

The condition that will most enhance the spontaneity of a reaction is when ΔH is negative (i.e., the reaction releases heat) and ΔS is positive (i.e., the reaction increases the disorder or randomness of the system). This is because a negative ΔH indicates that the reaction releases energy, which is favorable for a spontaneous reaction, while a positive ΔS indicates that the system becomes more disordered, which is also favorable for spontaneous reactions. Among the given options, the first condition of a negative and greater ΔH than ΔS is the best option for enhancing the spontaneity of a reaction. The other options have either a positive ΔH or a zero ΔS, which is not favorable for spontaneous reactions.

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

Consider the reaction

A${}_{\left(s\right)}$ + 2B${}_{\left(g\right)}$ → 2C${}_{\left(aq\right)}$ + D${}_{\left(g\right)}$

What will be the effect of a decrease in pressure on the reaction?

Antwortdetails

Given: The equation below

A${}_{\left(s\right)}$ + 2B${}_{\left(g\right)}$ → 2C${}_{\left(aq\right)}$ + D${}_{\left(g\right)}$

Since we have a higher number of moles of gaseous species on the LHS, i.e 2, a decrease in pressure will favor the forward reaction.

The oxidation numbers for Nitrogen in Ammonium Nitrite = -3, +3.

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

Antwortdetails

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.

Which of the following is a set of neutral oxides?

Antwortdetails

Which of the following does not support the fact that air is a mixture?

Antwortdetails

The option that does not support the fact that air is a mixture is "the constituents of air are in a fixed proportion by mass". Air is a mixture of different gases, primarily nitrogen (78%) and oxygen (21%), with small amounts of other gases such as carbon dioxide, argon, and neon. The proportion of each gas in air is not fixed and can vary depending on the location and other factors. For example, the amount of carbon dioxide in air can increase in areas with high levels of pollution, while the proportion of oxygen can decrease at high altitudes. Therefore, the composition of air is not in a fixed proportion by mass. On the other hand, the fact that air cannot be represented with a chemical formula and its constituents can be separated by physical means support the fact that air is a mixture. A chemical formula represents a pure substance, and since air is a mixture of gases, it cannot be represented by a single formula. Air can be separated into its individual components through physical means such as distillation or filtration, which is a characteristic of mixtures.

Which of the following is the best starting material for the preparation of oxygen? Heating of trioxonitrate (v) with

Antwortdetails

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

Antwortdetails

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.

A secondary alkanol can be oxidized to give an

Antwortdetails

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.

For the general equation of the nature

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

Antwortdetails

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?

Antwortdetails

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.

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

Antwortdetails

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.

In the reaction:

M + N → P

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

Antwortdetails

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.

Which of the following statements about catalyst is false?

Antwortdetails

The false statement about catalysts is: "catalysts do not alter the mechanism of the reaction and never appear in the rate law." Catalysts are substances that speed up chemical reactions without being consumed in the process. They achieve this by reducing the activation energy needed for the reaction to occur. Enzymes are a type of biological catalysts. In a chemical reaction, a catalyst is not consumed and does not appear in the overall balanced equation. However, catalysts can alter the mechanism of a reaction by providing an alternative pathway with a lower activation energy. This alternative pathway can have a different rate-determining step, which means that the presence of the catalyst can change the rate law of the reaction. Therefore, the statement that catalysts do not alter the mechanism of the reaction and never appear in the rate law is false.

Which process(es) is/are involved in the turning of starch iodide paper blue-black by chlorine gas?

Antwortdetails

The process involved in the turning of starch iodide paper blue-black by chlorine gas is option number 3: chlorine oxidizes the iodide ion to produce iodine which attacks the starch to give the blue-black color. When chlorine gas comes in contact with iodide ions on the starch iodide paper, it oxidizes the iodide ion to form iodine. The iodine that is produced in this reaction is then able to react with the starch present on the paper to form a blue-black complex. This blue-black complex is formed due to the arrangement of the starch molecules and the iodine atoms in a way that causes them to absorb light at a specific wavelength, giving the blue-black color. Therefore, the blue-black color that is observed on the starch iodide paper is due to the reaction between iodine and starch, which is made possible by the oxidation of iodide ions by chlorine gas.

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)

Antwortdetails

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 ${}^{\circ }\text{C}$

How many electrons will be found in the nucleus of an atom with mass number 23 and 17 neutrons?

Antwortdetails

Electrons are not found in the nucleus of an atom. The nucleus of an atom only contains protons and neutrons, while electrons are located outside the nucleus in the electron cloud. The mass number of an atom is equal to the sum of the number of protons and the number of neutrons in the nucleus. Therefore, if an atom has a mass number of 23 and 17 neutrons, then the number of protons in the nucleus can be calculated as: Protons = Mass number - Neutrons Protons = 23 - 17 Protons = 6 This means that the nucleus of the atom contains 6 protons. The number of electrons in a neutral atom is equal to the number of protons, so the atom also contains 6 electrons in the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus. In summary, the answer is that there are 6 protons and 6 electrons in the atom.

Hydrogen diffused through a porous plug

Antwortdetails

Hydrogen gas (H2) diffuses faster than oxygen gas (O2) through a porous plug. This is because the rate of diffusion of a gas through a porous plug is inversely proportional to the square root of its molar mass. Since the molar mass of hydrogen (2 g/mol) is much smaller than that of oxygen (32 g/mol), the rate of diffusion of hydrogen through a porous plug is much faster than that of oxygen. To be more specific, the ratio of the diffusion rates of two gases through a porous plug is given by the equation: Rate of diffusion of gas A / Rate of diffusion of gas B = √(Molar mass of gas B / Molar mass of gas A) Using the molar masses of hydrogen and oxygen, we get: Rate of diffusion of hydrogen / Rate of diffusion of oxygen = √(32 g/mol / 2 g/mol) = √16 = 4 Therefore, hydrogen diffuses through a porous plug four times as fast as oxygen. Thus, the correct answer is: four times as fast as oxygen.

Burning magnesium ribbon in air removes which of the following

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

Antwortdetails

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 part of the total energy of a system that accounts for the useful work done in a system is known as

Antwortdetails

The part of the total energy of a system that accounts for the useful work done in a system is known as "Gibbs free energy". Gibbs free energy is a thermodynamic property that represents the amount of energy that can be converted into useful work in a system. It takes into account both the energy of the system and the entropy, or disorder, of the system. In other words, Gibbs free energy is a measure of the energy available to do work, taking into account the energy that is unavailable due to entropy. In simple terms, if a system has a high Gibbs free energy, it has a lot of energy available to do work, and if a system has a low Gibbs free energy, it has little energy available to do work.

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

Antwortdetails

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.

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