Question 2 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 3 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 4 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 5 Report
The following non-metal form acidic oxides with oxygen except?
Answer Details
An acidic oxide is an oxide that reacts with water to form an acidic solution. Non-metals have a greater tendency to form acidic oxides than metals. Therefore, among the given options, the non-metal that does not form an acidic oxide with oxygen would be the one that does not react with water to form an acidic solution. Out of the given options, chlorine is the non-metal that does not form acidic oxides with oxygen. Chlorine reacts with oxygen to form a number of oxides such as chlorine monoxide (Cl2O), chlorine dioxide (ClO2), and chlorine trioxide (ClO3), but none of these oxides react with water to form an acidic solution. Instead, they react with water to form oxyacids or oxoacids such as hypochlorous acid (HClO), chlorous acid (HClO2), and chloric acid (HClO3), which are stronger acids than the oxides. Therefore, the correct answer is chlorine.

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 15 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 16 Report
Which of the following compound is NOT the correct formed compound when the parent metal is heated in air?
Answer Details
The compound that is NOT correctly formed when the parent metal is heated in air is: tri-iron tetraoxide (Fe2O). This is because the correct compound formed from the heating of iron in air is iron (III) oxide or Fe2O3. The formula for tri-iron tetraoxide is incorrect, as it implies that there are only three iron atoms in the compound when there should be four.

Answer Details
Question 19 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 20 Report
A chemical widely used as a fertilizer is?
Answer Details
The chemical widely used as a fertilizer is nitrochalk. Nitrochalk is a type of fertilizer that contains a mixture of ammonium nitrate and calcium carbonate. Ammonium nitrate provides the necessary nitrogen for plant growth, while calcium carbonate helps to balance the soil's pH level. This combination of nutrients helps to promote healthy plant growth and increase crop yields. Nitrochalk is commonly used in agriculture and gardening to fertilize crops such as corn, wheat, and soybeans, as well as fruits and vegetables.
Question 21 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 22 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 23 Report
Which of the following will precipitate in dil. HCl
Answer Details
Among the given options, only CuS will precipitate in dilute HCl. CuS is insoluble in dilute HCl, and hence it will precipitate when added to dilute HCl. However, the other options will dissolve in dilute HCl, and hence they will not precipitate. ZnS will dissolve in dilute HCl to form ZnCl2 and H2S. Na2S will react with dilute HCl to produce H2S and NaCl. FeS will dissolve in dilute HCl to form FeCl2 and H2S. Therefore, the correct answer is (4) CuS.

Answer Details
Question 26 Report
An organic functional group which can likely decolorize ammoniacal silver nitrate is?
Answer Details
The organic functional group that can likely decolorize ammoniacal silver nitrate is an alkyne. When ammoniacal silver nitrate is added to a solution containing an alkyne functional group, a white or yellowish precipitate of silver acetylide is formed. Silver acetylide is a highly explosive compound and is sparingly soluble in water, causing it to appear as a white or yellowish solid precipitate. This reaction is used as a test to detect the presence of an alkyne functional group in an organic compound. In contrast, alkanes, alkenes, and alkanols do not react with ammoniacal silver nitrate, so they cannot decolorize it. Therefore, an organic functional group that can likely decolorize ammoniacal silver nitrate is an alkyne.
Question 27 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.

Answer Details
The liquid is most likely to be option number 4: CH3OHCHOH2OH, which is also known as glycerol or glycerin. Glycerol has a high boiling point of 290°C, which is much higher than the boiling points of the other options. It is also a viscous liquid, which means it is thick and sticky. Glycerol is non-toxic, and it is often used in food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. Furthermore, glycerol is miscible with water, which means that it can be easily mixed with water to form a homogeneous solution. It is also hygroscopic, which means that it can absorb water from the air. These properties make glycerol a useful substance in many applications, such as as a moisturizer in skincare products or as a humectant in food processing.
Question 33 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 34 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 35 Report
\( \mathrm{SO_2 + O_2 \rightarrow 2SO_3} \)
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 36 Report

Answer Details
Copper (II) tetraoxosulphate (IV), also known as copper sulfate or CuSO4, is widely used as a fungicide and a disinfectant. As a fungicide, copper sulfate is effective in controlling fungal diseases in plants, including mildew, leaf spots, and blights. 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 37 Report
Wrought iron is obtained by heating cast iron in a furnace with?
Answer Details
Wrought iron is a type of iron that is very malleable and ductile, meaning it can be easily shaped and formed into various objects. It is obtained by heating cast iron in a furnace with haematite, also known as iron(III) oxide. When cast iron is heated with haematite in a furnace, a chemical reaction takes place where the haematite reacts with the carbon in the cast iron to produce carbon dioxide gas. This reaction also produces molten iron, which is then further heated to remove any impurities like sulfur and phosphorus. This molten iron is then poured into molds to form ingots of wrought iron. Therefore, haematite is essential in the process of obtaining wrought iron from cast iron.
Question 38 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 39 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.
