Question 1 Report
A certain volume of gas at 298k is heated such that its volume and pressure are now four times the original values. What is the new temperature?
Answer Details
We can use the ideal gas law to solve this problem, which states that PV = nRT, where P is pressure, V is volume, n is the number of moles of gas, R is the gas constant, and T is temperature in kelvin. If the volume and pressure are both increased by a factor of 4, then the new volume V' and new pressure P' are given by: V' = 4V P' = 4P Substituting these values into the ideal gas law, we get: (4P)(4V) = nR(T') Simplifying this equation, we get: 16PV = nRT' Dividing both sides by PV, we get: 16 = nRT' / PV Since n, R, and P are constant, we can simplify this to: 16 = T' / T Solving for T', we get: T' = 16T Therefore, the new temperature is 16 times the original temperature. Substituting T = 298 K, we get: T' = 16 x 298 K = 4768 K So the correct answer is 4768.0K.
Question 2 Report
In the preparation of salts, the method employed will depend on the?
Answer Details
The method employed in the preparation of salts will depend on the composition of the salt. Different salts have different chemical properties, and the method used to prepare them will depend on these properties. For example, some salts can be easily dissolved in water, while others are not very soluble and may require the use of a different solvent or special conditions to dissolve. The dissociating ability, stability to heat, and precipitating ability of the salt may also play a role in determining the preparation method, but the most important factor is the composition of the salt.
Question 3 Report
Which of the following will act as both oxidizing agents and reducing agents?
Answer Details
The oxidizing and reducing properties of a substance depend on its ability to gain or lose electrons. A substance that can gain electrons acts as an oxidizing agent, while a substance that can lose electrons acts as a reducing agent. Among the given options, both Cl2 (chlorine gas) and SO2 (sulfur dioxide) can act as both oxidizing and reducing agents depending on the reaction conditions. - Cl2 can act as an oxidizing agent when it gains electrons to form Cl- ions, and it can act as a reducing agent when it loses electrons to form Cl+ ions. For example, in the reaction Cl2 + 2KBr → 2KCl + Br2, chlorine gas is acting as an oxidizing agent since it is gaining electrons from bromide ions to form bromine gas. However, in the reaction 2Cl- + Cl2 → 2Cl2-, chlorine gas is acting as a reducing agent since it is losing electrons to form chloride ions. - SO2 can act as an oxidizing agent when it gains electrons to form sulfite ions (SO32-), and it can act as a reducing agent when it loses electrons to form sulfur trioxide (SO3). For example, in the reaction SO2 + 2H2S → 3S + 2H2O, sulfur dioxide is acting as a reducing agent since it is losing electrons to form elemental sulfur. However, in the reaction 2SO32- + O2 → 2SO42-, sulfur dioxide is acting as an oxidizing agent since it is gaining electrons to form sulfate ions. H2S (hydrogen sulfide) and NH3 (ammonia) are not likely to act as both oxidizing and reducing agents under normal conditions. H2S tends to act as a reducing agent by donating electrons to oxidizing agents, while NH3 tends to act as a reducing agent by donating electrons to oxidizing agents or as a base by accepting protons.

Answer Details
In the extraction of iron, hot air is introduced into the blast furnace through tuyeres. Tuyeres are nozzles that are located at the bottom of the blast furnace, and they are used to blow hot air into the furnace. The hot air helps to burn the coke (a fuel made from coal) which provides the heat needed to melt the iron ore. The air also helps to remove the waste gases that are produced during the reaction, allowing the iron to be extracted more efficiently.

Question 9 Report
A sample of gas with an initial volume of 2.5 dm3 is heated and then allowed to expand to 7.5 dm3 at constant at pressure. What is the ratio of the final temperature of the initial absolute temperature?
Answer Details
According to Charles's Law, the ratio of the initial and final temperatures is equal to the ratio of the initial and final volumes at constant pressure. The ratio of the final volume to the initial volume is: Vf / Vi = 7.5 dm3 / 2.5 dm3 = 3 Therefore, the ratio of the final temperature to the initial temperature is also 3: Tf / Ti = Vf / Vi = 3 So the answer is 3:1.
Question 10 Report
The oxidation number of oxygen in BaO2 is
Answer Details
To determine the oxidation number of oxygen in BaO2, we can use the fact that the overall charge of a compound must be zero. Barium (Ba) is a Group 2 element and has an oxidation state of +2. The compound BaO2 has no net charge, so the sum of the oxidation states of all the atoms must be zero. Let x be the oxidation state of oxygen in BaO2. Therefore, we have: (+2) + 2(x) = 0 Solving for x, we get: x = -1 Therefore, the oxidation number of oxygen in BaO2 is -1.

Question 13 Report
N2 O4 ? 2NO2 (? = -ve)
From the reaction above, which of these conditions would produce the highest equilibrium yield for N2 O4 ?
Answer Details
The highest equilibrium yield of N2O4 would be produced at low temperature and low pressure. In a chemical reaction, the position of the equilibrium can be influenced by changing the temperature or pressure. A decrease in temperature or an increase in pressure favors the side of the reaction with the fewer moles of gas (in this case, N2O4). This means that, if the temperature is low and the pressure is low, there will be more N2O4 at equilibrium, as the reaction will shift to the right to counteract the reduction in the concentration of N2O4. So, low temperature and low pressure would produce the highest equilibrium yield of N2O4.
Question 14 Report
Which of the following substances is not a homogeneous mixture?
Answer Details
The substance that is not a homogeneous mixture is flood water. Flood water is typically a mixture of various substances, such as sediment, dirt, debris, and organic matter, that have been carried along by the water. As such, flood water is usually a heterogeneous mixture, meaning that it does not have a uniform composition throughout. In contrast, filtered sea water, soft drinks, and writing ink are all examples of homogeneous mixtures, where the components are evenly distributed and the mixture has a uniform composition throughout.

Question 16 Report
Addition of sodium chloride to water to form a solution would lead to?
Answer Details
The addition of sodium chloride to water to form a solution would lead to a decrease in freezing point and an increase in boiling point. This effect is known as colligative properties, which depend on the concentration of solute particles in a solution. When sodium chloride dissolves in water, it breaks down into sodium ions and chloride ions. These ions occupy space between water molecules and interfere with the formation of ice crystals during freezing. As a result, the freezing point of the solution is lowered below that of pure water. This is why we use salt to de-ice roads and sidewalks during the winter season. Similarly, the presence of solute particles in a solution also raises the boiling point of the solution. The increased concentration of solute particles in the solution causes a decrease in the vapor pressure of the solvent (water), making it harder for the solvent molecules to escape into the gas phase. This means that more energy is required to bring the solution to its boiling point compared to pure water. In summary, the addition of sodium chloride to water forms a solution with lower freezing point and higher boiling point compared to pure water.
Question 17 Report
Which of the following roles does sodium chloride play in preparation? It
Answer Details
The role that sodium chloride (NaCl) plays in soap preparation is to separate soap from glycerol. When fats or oils are hydrolyzed with an alkali, such as sodium hydroxide (NaOH), the result is a mixture of soap and glycerol. Adding NaCl to this mixture helps to induce the precipitation of the soap, allowing it to be separated from the glycerol. This process is known as "salting out" and is used to purify the soap and remove impurities. Sodium chloride does not react with glycerol or accelerate the decomposition of fat and oil. Also, it does not convert the fatty acid to its sodium salt as this conversion is done by the alkali (such as NaOH) during the saponification process.

Answer Details
When air is passed through alkaline pyrogallol, the oxygen in the air is absorbed by the pyrogallol, resulting in an increase in the weight of the pyrogallol. The other gases in air, namely nitrogen, neon, and argon, do not react with pyrogallol under these conditions. Therefore, the answer is oxygen.

Which of the following is used as a moderator to control nuclear fission?
Answer Details
Heavy water (D2O) is used as a moderator to control nuclear fission. A moderator is a substance that is used to slow down the neutrons produced in a nuclear reaction, making them more likely to be captured by the fuel nuclei and causing further fission. Heavy water is a type of water that contains a larger amount of the isotope deuterium (D) than regular water. Deuterium has an extra neutron compared to the more common hydrogen isotope, and this makes heavy water more effective at slowing down neutrons than regular water. Lead, iron, and chromium are not typically used as moderators in nuclear reactors. Lead can be used as a shield to absorb radiation, while iron and chromium are used in the construction of the reactor vessel and other components.

Answer Details
Hard water is water that contains high amounts of dissolved minerals, specifically calcium and magnesium ions. These minerals come from the rocks and soil that the water flows through and can accumulate in the water as it travels to your home. When you use hard water, it can leave mineral deposits on your pipes, fixtures, and appliances, which can reduce their efficiency and lifespan. It can also make soap less effective and leave your skin feeling dry and itchy. Therefore, it is important to treat hard water if it is a problem in your area.
Question 23 Report
Mixing aqueos solution of barium hydroxide and sodium tetraoxocarbonate (iv) yields a white precipitate of
Answer Details
Mixing aqueous solutions of barium hydroxide and sodium tetraoxocarbonate (IV) would result in a chemical reaction that produces a white precipitate of barium tetraoxocarbonate (IV). The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is: Ba(OH)2(aq) + Na2CO3(aq) → BaCO3(s) + 2NaOH(aq) In the above equation, the barium hydroxide (Ba(OH)2) reacts with sodium tetraoxocarbonate (IV) (Na2CO3) to form barium tetraoxocarbonate (IV) (BaCO3), which is a white precipitate, and sodium hydroxide (NaOH). Therefore, the correct option is 4) Barium tetraoxocarbonate.
Question 24 Report
Zn + 2HCL → ZnCl2 + H2
What happens to zinc in the above reaction?
Answer Details
In the above reaction, zinc (Zn) reacts with hydrochloric acid (HCl) to form zinc chloride (ZnCl2) and hydrogen gas (H2). The chemical equation for the reaction is: Zn + 2HCl → ZnCl2 + H2 During the reaction, zinc atoms lose two electrons each and get oxidized to form positively charged zinc ions (Zn2+), as they react with the hydrogen ions (H+) from the hydrochloric acid to form zinc chloride. The hydrogen ions, on the other hand, gain an electron each and get reduced to form hydrogen gas molecules (H2). Therefore, in the given reaction, zinc is getting oxidized, as it loses electrons and forms a positively charged ion. Hence, the correct option is "oxidized."
Question 25 Report
On the basis of the electrochemical series, which of these ions will show the greater tendency to be discharged at the cathode in an electrolytic cell
Answer Details
The electrochemical series is a list of metals and ions arranged in order of their decreasing tendency to lose or gain electrons, and thus, their ability to act as reducing or oxidizing agents. The higher the position of a metal or ion in the electrochemical series, the greater its tendency to lose electrons and undergo oxidation, while the lower its position, the greater its tendency to gain electrons and undergo reduction. In an electrolytic cell, the cathode is the electrode where reduction occurs, meaning that cations (positively charged ions) are attracted and gain electrons to form neutral atoms or molecules. Based on the electrochemical series, the ion with the higher position in the series will have a greater tendency to gain electrons and be discharged at the cathode, while the ion with the lower position will have a lower tendency and may not be discharged at all. Among the given options, the electrochemical series order is: Cu2+ > Sn2+ > Fe2+ > Zn2+ Therefore, Cu2+ has the highest tendency to be discharged at the cathode and undergo reduction, while Zn2+ has the lowest tendency. So, in an electrolytic cell, Cu2+ will be discharged at the cathode, while Zn2+ may not be discharged at all, depending on the conditions of the cell.

Answer Details
The sulphide commonly used in coating electric fluorescent tubes is Zinc Sulphide. Zinc Sulphide is a type of material that glows when it is exposed to ultraviolet light. When ultraviolet light is generated inside a fluorescent tube, it excites the Zinc Sulphide particles, causing them to emit visible light. This visible light is what we see as the bright light coming from the tube. So, Zinc Sulphide acts as a phosphor and helps in producing the bright light in fluorescent tubes.

2H2 + O2 → 2H2 O
From the equation above, calculate the volume of unreacted oxygen gas if a mixture of 50cm3 of hydroden and 75cm3 of oxygen are involved
Answer Details
The balanced chemical equation shows that 2 moles of hydrogen gas react with 1 mole of oxygen gas to produce 2 moles of water vapor. Therefore, the stoichiometric ratio of hydrogen to oxygen is 2:1. In this problem, there are 50cm3 of hydrogen gas and 75cm3 of oxygen gas. Since the gases are at the same temperature and pressure, their volumes are directly proportional to the number of moles of gas present. Using the stoichiometric ratio, we can calculate that the amount of oxygen gas required to react completely with 50cm3 of hydrogen gas is (1/2) * 50cm3 = 25cm3. Since there are 75cm3 of oxygen gas present, there must be (75cm3 - 25cm3) = 50cm3 of unreacted oxygen gas remaining. Therefore, the volume of unreacted oxygen gas is 50cm3. Answer: 50cm3
Question 31 Report
When heat is absorbed during a chemical reaction, the reaction is said to be
Answer Details
When heat is absorbed during a chemical reaction, the reaction is said to be endothermic. Endothermic reactions are characterized by the absorption of heat energy from the surroundings. In other words, the reactants absorb energy from the environment, usually in the form of heat, to form the products. As a result, the temperature of the surroundings decreases, and the reaction feels cold to the touch. Endothermic reactions can be found in many natural processes, such as photosynthesis, melting of ice, and the evaporation of liquids. These processes require energy to occur, and they absorb heat from the surroundings to power the reaction.

Question 34 Report
There is a large temperature interval between the melting point and the boiling point of metal because:
Answer Details
The correct answer is: "melting does not break the metallic bond but boiling does." The metallic bond is the force of attraction between metal atoms, which holds them together to form a solid. When a metal is heated, its temperature increases, and at a certain point, the energy provided by the heat is enough to overcome the metallic bond and cause the metal to melt. However, even in the liquid state, the metallic bond remains intact, which is why metals have a very high melting point. On the other hand, when the temperature is further increased, the energy provided by the heat becomes enough to break the metallic bond, and the metal atoms become completely detached from one another. This results in the metal boiling and turning into a gas. Because the metallic bond is much stronger than other types of intermolecular forces, such as van der Waals forces, it requires a lot of energy to break, resulting in a large temperature interval between the melting point and boiling point of metal.

Question 37 Report
The sub-atomic particles located in the nucleus of an atom are?
Answer Details
The sub-atomic particles located in the nucleus of an atom are neutron and proton. The nucleus is the dense core of an atom that contains most of its mass. Protons are positively charged particles found in the nucleus, and they determine the atomic number of the element. Neutrons are neutral particles found in the nucleus, and they help stabilize the nucleus by balancing the repulsive forces between the positively charged protons. Electrons, on the other hand, are negatively charged particles that are located outside the nucleus in energy levels or shells. They are attracted to the positively charged nucleus by electrostatic forces and are involved in chemical bonding between atoms. The number of protons in the nucleus determines the identity of the element, while the number of neutrons determines its isotopes. Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons in the nucleus. In summary, the two sub-atomic particles located in the nucleus of an atom are neutron and proton.
Question 38 Report
An organic compound with fishy smell is likely to have a general formula?
Answer Details
The organic compound with a fishy smell is most likely to have the general formula RNH2, which represents a primary amine. Amines are organic compounds that contain a nitrogen atom bonded to one or more carbon atoms. Primary amines have one alkyl or aryl group and two hydrogen atoms bonded to the nitrogen atom. Some primary amines have a fishy smell, which is caused by the presence of volatile amines. These amines are small molecules that can easily evaporate and have a strong odor, similar to that of fish. Examples of compounds that have a fishy smell include trimethylamine, which is found in fish, and butylamine, which is used in the production of rubber and pharmaceuticals. In summary, the organic compound with a fishy smell is likely to have the general formula RNH2, which represents a primary amine.
Question 39 Report
The pollutant usually presents in a city which generates its electricity from coal?
Answer Details
The pollutant that is usually present in a city that generates its electricity from coal is sulfur dioxide (SO2), also known as sulfur(iv)oxide. When coal is burned to generate electricity, sulfur compounds in the coal are released into the air as SO2. This gas can react with other pollutants and atmospheric conditions to form smog, which can be harmful to human health and the environment. Therefore, it is important to reduce the use of coal in electricity generation and promote cleaner and more sustainable energy sources to reduce the levels of SO2 and other harmful pollutants in the air.
