Question 2 Report
According to Charles' law, the volume of a gas becomes zero at
Answer Details
Charles' law states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature, provided that the pressure remains constant. This means that as the temperature of a gas increases, its volume also increases. However, it is important to note that this law only applies to ideal gases, which are theoretical gases that perfectly follow the laws of thermodynamics. According to Charles' law, the volume of a gas becomes zero at absolute zero, which is approximately -273°C. At this temperature, the gas particles would have no kinetic energy and would be in their lowest energy state. The volume of a real gas would not actually become zero at absolute zero because the gas particles would have some residual intermolecular interactions that would prevent them from completely collapsing to a single point.

Answer Details
The collision theory explains reaction rates in terms of the frequency of collision of the reactants. In other words, the theory suggests that for a chemical reaction to occur, the reactant particles must collide with sufficient energy and with the correct orientation. The frequency of these collisions is an important factor in determining the rate of the reaction. The more frequently the reactant particles collide, the more likely it is that they will react and form products. Therefore, increasing the frequency of collisions between reactant particles can increase the rate of a chemical reaction. The size of the reactants or the products does not play a significant role in the collision theory.
Question 7 Report
An element used in the production of matches is
Answer Details
The element used in the production of matches is sulphur. Matches are small sticks made of wood or cardboard with a chemical mixture at one end. This chemical mixture, called the match head, contains several compounds including sulphur. When the match is struck against a rough surface, the friction generates heat that ignites the sulphur in the match head, causing a flame. This flame then ignites the other compounds in the match head, which in turn ignites the wood or cardboard stick. Sulphur is an important component of the match head because it is highly flammable and burns easily. It also helps to ignite the other compounds in the match head. However, sulphur by itself is not a good fuel, which means that it cannot sustain a flame on its own. Therefore, it needs other combustible materials, such as potassium chlorate or phosphorus, to make the match head burn. Overall, sulphur plays a crucial role in the chemistry of matches and allows us to easily start fires for various purposes.
Question 8 Report

Answer Details
The reaction between an organic acid and an alcohol in the presence of an acid catalyst is known as esterification. Esterification is the process of forming an ester, which is a type of organic compound, from an alcohol and an acid. The acid catalyst is used to speed up the reaction by providing a proton to the reaction mixture, which helps to form the ester. Esterification results in the loss of a water molecule from the reaction mixture, which makes the reaction a type of dehydration reaction. However, it is important to note that esterification is a specific type of dehydration reaction where the products are an ester and an alcohol. So, the answer is esterification.

The choice of method for extracting a metal from its ores depends on the
Answer Details
The choice of method for extracting a metal from its ores depends on the position of the metal in the electrochemical series. The electrochemical series is a list of metals arranged in order of their ability to gain or lose electrons. The metals at the top of the series (such as sodium and potassium) are very reactive and will readily lose electrons, while those at the bottom (such as gold and platinum) are less reactive and less likely to lose electrons. The position of a metal in the electrochemical series determines the method of extraction that should be used. For example, metals at the top of the series are usually extracted by electrolysis, which involves passing an electric current through a molten compound of the metal. This process is necessary because the metals at the top of the series are very reactive and are strongly bonded to other elements in their ores. On the other hand, metals at the bottom of the series are usually extracted by reduction with carbon or hydrogen. This is because these metals are less reactive and can be separated from their ores by reacting them with a reducing agent that can take away the oxygen and other impurities. Therefore, the position of the metal in the electrochemical series is a crucial factor in determining the method of extraction that should be used to extract it from its ores.
Question 13 Report
The Consecutive members of an alkane homologous series differ by
Answer Details
The consecutive members of an alkane homologous series differ by a CH2 unit. This means that each successive member of the alkane series has one more CH2 unit than the previous member. For example, consider the simplest alkane, methane (CH4). The next member of the series is ethane (C2H6), which differs from methane by one CH2 unit. The next member after that is propane (C3H8), which differs from ethane by another CH2 unit. This pattern continues for all members of the alkane homologous series. The reason for this is that each carbon atom in the alkane chain must be bonded to four other atoms, which are usually hydrogen atoms. This means that each carbon atom in the chain can only bond to one other carbon atom. Therefore, the length of the alkane chain can only increase by adding CH2 units to the end of the chain. In summary, the consecutive members of an alkane homologous series differ by a CH2 unit because this is the only way to add length to the alkane chain while maintaining the required number of bonds for each carbon atom in the chain.
Question 14 Report
If 1 litre of 2.2M sulphuric acid is poured into a bucket containing 10 litres of water and the resulting solution mixed thoroughly, the resulting sulphuric acid concentration will be
Answer Details
When 1 liter of 2.2M sulphuric acid is added to 10 liters of water, the total volume of the resulting solution is 11 liters. To find the resulting concentration of sulphuric acid, we need to use the equation: M1V1 = M2V2 where M1 is the initial concentration, V1 is the initial volume, M2 is the final concentration, and V2 is the final volume. We can plug in the values we know: M1 = 2.2M (the initial concentration of the sulphuric acid) V1 = 1L (the initial volume of the sulphuric acid) M2 = ? (the final concentration we're trying to find) V2 = 11L (the final volume of the resulting solution) Solving for M2, we get: M2 = (M1 x V1) / V2 M2 = (2.2M x 1L) / 11L M2 = 0.2M Therefore, the resulting sulphuric acid concentration is 0.2M or 0.2 moles per liter. In summary, when 1 liter of 2.2M sulphuric acid is mixed with 10 liters of water, the resulting sulphuric acid concentration is diluted to 0.2M. This is because the total volume of the resulting solution is greater than the initial volume of the sulphuric acid, which leads to a decrease in concentration.
Question 15 Report
The periodic classification is an arrangement of the elements
Answer Details
The periodic classification is an arrangement of the elements based on their atomic numbers. The periodic table is a chart that lists all the known chemical elements in order of increasing atomic number, arranged in rows and columns according to their electronic structure and chemical properties. The atomic number of an element is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom of that element. Each element has a unique atomic number, which determines its position in the periodic table. The elements are arranged in rows called periods, and in columns called groups or families. Elements in the same group have similar properties because they have the same number of valence electrons, which are the electrons in the outermost shell of the atom. The periodic table is an incredibly useful tool for chemists because it allows them to predict the properties of elements based on their position in the table. For example, elements in the same group tend to form similar compounds, so if you know the properties of one element in a group, you can often predict the properties of the other elements in that group. In summary, the periodic classification is an arrangement of the elements based on their atomic numbers. The periodic table is a chart that organizes the elements into rows and columns based on their electronic structure and chemical properties, allowing scientists to make predictions about the behavior of the elements based on their position in the table.

Question 20 Report
According to the Kinetic Theory an increase in temperature causes the kinetic energy of particles to
Answer Details
The kinetic energy of particles increases with an increase in temperature. In the Kinetic Theory, temperature is related to the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance. The higher the temperature, the faster the particles move, and the more energy they have. Think of it like this: if you throw a ball, it will have more energy and travel farther if you throw it harder. Similarly, if you heat up a substance, its particles will move faster and have more energy. So, the answer is that an increase in temperature causes the kinetic energy of particles to increase.

Calculate the percentage composition of oxygen in calcium trioxocarbonate(IV) [Ca=40, C=12, O=16]
Answer Details
To calculate the percentage composition of oxygen in calcium trioxocarbonate(IV), we first need to determine the molar mass of the compound. The compound has one calcium atom (Ca), one carbon atom (C), and three oxygen atoms (O). So, the molar mass of calcium trioxocarbonate(IV) can be calculated as follows: Molar mass = (1 × atomic mass of Ca) + (1 × atomic mass of C) + (3 × atomic mass of O) = (1 × 40) + (1 × 12) + (3 × 16) = 40 + 12 + 48 = 100 g/mol Next, we need to determine the mass of oxygen in one mole of calcium trioxocarbonate(IV). The compound has three oxygen atoms, each with an atomic mass of 16 g/mol. Therefore, the total mass of oxygen in one mole of the compound is: Mass of oxygen = 3 × 16 = 48 g/mol Finally, to determine the percentage composition of oxygen in calcium trioxocarbonate(IV), we divide the mass of oxygen by the molar mass of the compound and multiply by 100. Percentage of oxygen = (Mass of oxygen / Molar mass of compound) × 100 = (48 / 100) × 100 = 48% Therefore, the correct answer is 48, which represents the percentage composition of oxygen in calcium trioxocarbonate(IV).

If one of the following oxides is heated with hydrogen or carbon using a bunsen burner. it is not reduced to the metal, Which one is it?
Answer Details
The oxide that cannot be reduced to the metal when heated with hydrogen or carbon using a Bunsen burner is magnesium oxide. Magnesium oxide is an ionic compound made up of positively charged magnesium ions and negatively charged oxygen ions. When heated with hydrogen or carbon, the oxygen ions are not easily removed from the compound. This is because the ionic bond between the magnesium and oxygen ions is very strong and requires a lot of energy to break. On the other hand, lead oxide, copper oxide, and tin oxide are all metal oxides and can be reduced to the metal by heating with hydrogen or carbon. This is because they have a weaker bond between the metal and oxygen ions, allowing the oxygen to be removed more easily when heated. In conclusion, magnesium oxide is the oxide that cannot be reduced to the metal when heated with hydrogen or carbon using a Bunsen burner.

Question 29 Report
Which of the following produces relatively few ions in solution?
Answer Details
The correct answer is AI(OH)3. When ionic compounds dissolve in water, they dissociate into their constituent ions, producing charged particles in solution. The more ions a compound produces, the more conductive it is in solution. AI(OH)3, also known as aluminum hydroxide, produces relatively few ions in solution because it is a weak base. When AI(OH)3 dissolves in water, it releases a small amount of Al3+ and OH- ions. In contrast, NaOH, KOH, and Ca(OH)2 are strong bases that dissociate more completely in water and produce more ions in solution. NaOH and KOH produce one hydroxide ion for every sodium or potassium ion, while Ca(OH)2 produces two hydroxide ions for every calcium ion. Therefore, of the options listed, AI(OH)3 produces relatively few ions in solution.
Question 30 Report
A quantity of electricity liberates 3.6g of Silver from its salt. What mass of aluminium Will be liberated from its salt by the same quantity of electricity? [Al = 27, Ag = 108].
Answer Details
The amount of substance liberated at an electrode during electrolysis is directly proportional to the quantity of electricity passed through the solution. This is known as Faraday's laws of electrolysis. The key to solving this problem is to recognize that the same quantity of electricity is used to liberate both silver and aluminum from their respective salts. We can use the ratio of their molar masses to determine the mass of aluminum liberated. The molar mass of silver (Ag) is 108 g/mol, while the molar mass of aluminum (Al) is 27 g/mol. This means that it takes four times as many moles of aluminum to make the same mass as one mole of silver. Since the same quantity of electricity liberates 3.6g of silver from its salt, it will liberate four times as many moles of aluminum. Therefore, the mass of aluminum liberated is: (4 moles of Al) x (27 g/mol) = 108 g So, the mass of aluminum liberated is 0.108 g, or 0.1 g to one significant figure. Therefore, the answer is option D: 0.3g.

Which of the following separation techniques can be employed in obtaining solvent from its solution?
Answer Details
The separation technique that can be employed in obtaining a solvent from its solution is evaporation. Evaporation is a process that involves heating a solution to vaporize the solvent, leaving behind the solute. The vaporized solvent can then be condensed and collected as a pure liquid. This technique is commonly used in industry and laboratory settings to recover solvents from solutions, as it is a simple and effective way to purify liquids. Distillation can also be used to separate a solvent from a solution, but it is a more complex process that involves boiling the solution and then condensing the vapors in a separate apparatus. Filtration and precipitation are not suitable for separating a solvent from a solution, as they are primarily used to separate solid particles from a liquid mixture.

Given the current (I = 1.60 A), time (t = 1 hour = 3600 s), and Faraday's constant (F = 96500 C/mol), we can calculate the total amount of charge that passes through the solution: Q = I*t = 1.60 A * 3600 s = 5760 C Using Faraday's law, we can relate the amount of charge that passes through the solution to the number of moles of electrons transferred during the reduction reaction: n = Q/F = 5760 C / 96500 C/mol = 0.0597 mol e- Since each Cu2+ ion requires 2 electrons to be reduced to copper metal, the number of moles of copper produced is half the number of moles of electrons transferred: mol Cu = 0.0597 mol e- / 2 = 0.0299 mol Cu Finally, we can convert the moles of copper produced to grams using the molar mass of copper: mass Cu = 0.0299 mol Cu * 64 g/mol = 1.91 g Therefore, the answer is 1.91 g of Cu produced. is correct.

What is the concentration of a solution containing 2g of NaOH in 100cm3 of solution? [Na = 23, O =16, H = 1]
Answer Details
The concentration of a solution containing 2g of NaOH in 100cm3 of solution is 0.40 moldm-3. This can be calculated by using the formula: molarity (M) = number of moles of solute / volume of solution (in liters) First, we need to calculate the number of moles of NaOH in the solution. The molar mass of NaOH is (23 + 16 + 1) = 40 g/mol. So, 2g of NaOH is equal to 2/40 = 0.05 moles. Next, we need to convert the volume of the solution from cm3 to liters. 1 cm3 = 0.001 liters, so 100 cm3 = 0.1 liters. Finally, we can calculate the molarity as follows: M = 0.05 moles / 0.1 liters = 0.5 mol/L = 0.50 moldm-3 So, the concentration of the solution is 0.50 moldm-3.

Answer Details
The substance that is commonly used as a ripening agent for fruits is ethene. Ethene, also known as ethylene, is a natural plant hormone that is produced by fruits, especially during the ripening process. It is a colorless gas that can be easily synthesized and used as a ripening agent for fruits. When fruits are exposed to ethene, it triggers a series of biochemical reactions that accelerate the natural ripening process. This can help fruits to ripen faster and more uniformly, which is important for commercial purposes where fruits need to be sold quickly. The use of ethene as a ripening agent is regulated by food safety agencies, as excessive exposure to ethene can cause over-ripening and spoilage of fruits. However, when used in appropriate concentrations, ethene is a safe and effective way to promote the ripening of fruits.

Answer Details
Sieving is a technique used to separate mixtures containing solid particles of different sizes. A sieve is a mesh or perforated screen that is used to separate particles based on their size. The mixture is poured onto the sieve, and the particles that are too large to pass through the holes are left on top, while the smaller particles fall through the holes and are collected below. This process allows for the separation of the different-sized particles, making it easier to purify or further process the mixture.
