Question 1 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 3 Report
Which of the following increases as boiling water changes to steam?
Answer Details
The degree of disorder of the system increases as boiling water changes to steam. When water is boiled and changes to steam, the water molecules gain energy and become more disordered, which means that the molecules move more rapidly and the entropy of the system increases. The temperature of the system also increases during this process, but the degree of disorder is the factor that specifically increases as the water changes to steam. The number of molecules and activation energy remain constant during this phase transition.

Question 6 Report
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.
Question 8 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 9 Report
How many neutrons are present in atom with mass number and atomic number 37 and 17 respectively?
Answer Details
The atomic number of an atom represents the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom. Since the atomic number given is 17, it means that there are 17 protons in the nucleus. The mass number of an atom represents the total number of protons and neutrons present in the nucleus. Therefore, if the mass number is given as 37, it means that the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus is 37. To determine the number of neutrons in the nucleus, we can subtract the atomic number (which represents the number of protons) from the mass number (which represents the total number of protons and neutrons). Thus, the number of neutrons in the atom with a mass number of 37 and an atomic number of 17 is: Number of neutrons = Mass number - Atomic number = 37 - 17 = 20 Therefore, the answer is 20.
Question 10 Report
One of the active components of baking powder is
Answer Details
The active component of baking powder is sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3). It is responsible for the leavening or rising of baked goods by releasing carbon dioxide gas when it reacts with an acid. Other ingredients in baking powder, such as monocalcium phosphate and sodium aluminum sulfate, provide the acid component for the reaction to occur. Magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) and calcium sulfate (CaSO4) are not typically used in baking powder, and sodium chloride (NaCl) is simply table salt and not an active ingredient in leavening.
Question 11 Report
An organic compound decolourized acidified KMnO4 solution but failed to react with ammonical AgNO3 solution. The organic compound is likely?
Answer Details
The given information suggests that the organic compound is an unsaturated compound (because it decolorized the acidified KMnO4 solution), but it does not contain a functional group that reacts with ammonical AgNO3 solution. Therefore, the likely organic compound is an alkene or an alkyne. Carboxylic acids can also react with acidified KMnO4 solution, but they would also react with ammonical AgNO3 solution to form a silver carboxylate salt. Alkanes are saturated compounds and do not react with either reagent, so they would not decolorize the acidified KMnO4 solution. Therefore, based on the given information, the most likely option is either an alkene or an alkyne.
Question 12 Report
H2SO4 is used to remove rust on the surface of iron (picking) before electroplating. The type of reaction involved is
Answer Details
The type of reaction involved when using H2SO4 to remove rust on the surface of iron is a redox reaction. This is because the sulfuric acid oxidizes the iron in the rust, converting it into iron(II) sulfate, while the acid itself is reduced to sulfur dioxide. The overall reaction can be written as follows: Fe2O3(s) + 3H2SO4(aq) → Fe2(SO4)3(aq) + 3H2O(l) In this reaction, the iron in Fe2O3 is oxidized from a +3 to a +2 oxidation state, while the sulfur in H2SO4 is reduced from a +6 to a +4 oxidation state. This transfer of electrons between the reactants is what defines a redox reaction.
Question 13 Report

Question 17 Report
The IUPAC name for CICH2-CH2-CH2-OH is
Answer Details
The IUPAC name for CICH2-CH2-CH2-OH is 3-chloropropan-1-ol. To name the compound using the IUPAC nomenclature system, we start by identifying the longest continuous chain of carbon atoms that contains the functional group (-OH). In this case, the longest chain contains three carbon atoms, so the root name is propane. Next, we identify the position of the substituent (-Cl) on the chain. The substituent is attached to the third carbon atom in the chain, so the name of the compound becomes 3-chloropropane. Finally, we add the suffix -ol to indicate that the compound contains an alcohol functional group (-OH), so the complete name of the compound is 3-chloropropan-1-ol. Therefore, the correct answer is 3-chloropropan-1-ol.

Question 21 Report
SO2 + O2 → 2SO3
In the reaction above, the most suitable catalyst is?
Answer Details
The most suitable catalyst for the given reaction is vanadium(V)oxide (V2O5). Vanadium(V)oxide is a commonly used catalyst for the oxidation of sulfur dioxide (SO2) to sulfur trioxide (SO3). The reaction is an exothermic reaction, and it occurs at high temperatures (around 450-500°C) in the presence of a catalyst. V2O5 is an effective catalyst for this reaction because it has a high surface area and can provide active sites for the reaction to occur. The vanadium ions in the V2O5 catalyst undergo redox reactions with the sulfur dioxide and oxygen molecules, which promotes the formation of sulfur trioxide. Chromium(VI)oxide and iron(III)oxide are not suitable catalysts for this reaction because they are not effective at promoting the oxidation of sulfur dioxide to sulfur trioxide. Copper(I)oxide can be used as a catalyst for the reaction, but it is not as effective as vanadium(V)oxide.
Question 22 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.

It is also used as a fungicide in swimming pools to prevent the growth of algae. As a disinfectant, copper sulfate is effective in killing bacteria and viruses. It is used in a variety of applications, including in the production of animal feed, as a preservative for wood, and in water treatment to kill bacteria and algae. While copper sulfate has been used as a fertilizer in the past, its use in this capacity has largely been replaced by other compounds. It is not commonly used as a purifier.
Question 27 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.
Question 29 Report
The sulphide that is commonly used in coating electric fluorescent tubes is?
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.
Question 30 Report
Answer Details
The addition of charcoal to the filter bed of sand during water treatment for township supply is to remove odors and improve the taste of the water. Charcoal is a porous material that can adsorb impurities and chemicals from the water, such as dissolved organic matter that can contribute to unpleasant tastes and odors. This process helps to produce a better-quality drinking water that is free from unpleasant tastes and odors. It should be noted that while the addition of charcoal can help remove impurities, it does not kill germs or prevent tooth decay or goiter. Other water treatment methods, such as disinfection with chlorine or ultraviolet light, are required to kill harmful microorganisms and ensure the safety of the drinking water.

Question 35 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 36 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 37 Report
Which of the following statement is TRUE of the complete hydrolysis of a glyceride by sodium hydroxide?
Answer Details
The statement that is TRUE of the complete hydrolysis of a glyceride by sodium hydroxide is: - 3 moles of NaOH are required for each mole of glyceride. During the hydrolysis of a glyceride (a triglyceride), the ester bonds between the fatty acid chains and glycerol are broken by the action of a strong base like sodium hydroxide. This results in the formation of glycerol and the corresponding salts of fatty acids, which are commonly known as "soaps." The reaction can be represented by the following equation: Triglyceride + 3 NaOH → 3 soap + glycerol As per the equation, 3 moles of NaOH are required to hydrolyze one mole of glyceride, and 3 moles of soap and one mole of glycerol are produced. The use of concentrated sulfuric acid (H2SO4) is not essential for the completion of the reaction, but it can be used as a catalyst to speed up the reaction.
Question 38 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.
Question 39 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.
Question 40 Report
An organic compound which liberate carbon(iv)oxide from trioxocarbonate(iv) solution is likely to be?
Answer Details
The organic compound that liberates carbon(iv)oxide from trioxocarbonate(iv) solution is CH3COOH (acetic acid). When acetic acid is added to a solution of trioxocarbonate(iv) (carbonate) it reacts to form carbon(iv)oxide gas, water and a salt. The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is: 2CH3COOH + Na2CO3 → CO2 + 2H2O + 2NaCH3COO The carbon(iv)oxide gas is released as bubbles, causing the solution to fizz. Therefore, CH3COOH is the organic compound that liberates carbon(iv)oxide from trioxocarbonate(iv) solution.
