Question 1 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.
Question 2 Report
Using the metal activity series, the metal that can liberate hydrogen gas from steam is?
Answer Details
The metal that can liberate hydrogen gas from steam is iron. The metal activity series is a list of metals in order of their reactivity, with the most reactive metals at the top and the least reactive metals at the bottom. When a metal is placed in a solution of steam (water vapor), the metal will react with the steam if it is more reactive than hydrogen. In this case, iron is more reactive than hydrogen, so it can displace hydrogen from the steam to form hydrogen gas. This reaction can be represented by the equation: Fe + H2O (steam) → FeO (iron oxide) + H2 (hydrogen gas) So, when steam is passed over iron, hydrogen gas is liberated and iron oxide is formed.

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.

Answer Details
The white solid obtained when marble (calcium carbonate, CaCO3) is heated to 1473K is calcium oxide (CaO), also known as quicklime. When quicklime reacts vigorously with water, it forms calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2), which is an alkaline solution. Therefore, the solution obtained from the reaction of quicklime with water contains calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2).
Question 8 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 9 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 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 12 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 13 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.

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 20 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 21 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 22 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 23 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 24 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 25 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 26 Report

Question 28 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 29 Report
Answer Details
Carbon dioxide (CO2) has a linear molecular geometry, with two oxygen atoms bonded to the central carbon atom. Each bond between carbon and oxygen is a double bond, consisting of two pairs of electrons shared between the atoms. Therefore, there are two bonding pairs in each of the carbon-oxygen double bonds, giving a total of four bonding pairs in CO2. The answer is 4.
Question 30 Report
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
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.
Question 32 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.

Answer Details
Question 34 Report
The IUPAC nomenclature of the structure is
Answer Details
The IUPAC nomenclature of the structure is "2-chloro-2-methylbutane". The name is derived by first identifying the longest carbon chain, which in this case contains four carbon atoms (butane). The carbon chain is numbered from one end to the other, giving the substituents the lowest possible numbers. Starting from either end, we can see that the first carbon atom has a chlorine atom attached to it, which is represented by the prefix "chloro-". Moving along the chain, the second carbon atom has a methyl group attached to it, which is represented by the prefix "methyl-". Since the substituents are in the second position from each other, we use the prefix "di-" to indicate two substituents in this position. Finally, we use the suffix "-ane" to indicate that the molecule is an alkane. Therefore, the correct name for this molecule is "2-chloro-2-methylbutane".
Question 35 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 36 Report
In the extraction of iron, hot air is introduced into the blast furnace through?
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 37 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 40 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.
