Question 1 Report
In a chemical reaction, the reacting species possess energy of motion known as
Answer Details
The energy of motion possessed by the reacting species in a chemical reaction is known as kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. When a substance is in motion, it possesses kinetic energy. In a chemical reaction, the reactants are in motion and collide with each other, causing the chemical reaction to occur. This motion is due to the kinetic energy of the particles. The kinetic energy of the particles in a substance depends on its temperature. As the temperature of a substance increases, the kinetic energy of the particles also increases, causing them to move faster and collide more frequently. This, in turn, increases the rate of the chemical reaction. Therefore, the reacting species in a chemical reaction possess kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion.

Question 4 Report
The number of atoms in 1.2g of carbon - 12 isotope is
Answer Details
The first step to solving this problem is to determine the number of moles of carbon-12 present in 1.2g of the isotope. We do this by dividing the mass of the isotope by its molar mass. The molar mass of carbon-12 is 12 g/mol. Number of moles of carbon-12 = 1.2 g / 12 g/mol = 0.1 mol Since each mole of carbon-12 contains Avogadro's number of atoms (6.02 x 10^23), we can determine the number of atoms in 0.1 mol of carbon-12 as: Number of atoms = 0.1 mol x 6.02 x 10^23 atoms/mol = 6.02 x 10^22 atoms Therefore, the answer is 6.02 x 10^22.

Which of the following occurs when an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide is electrolysed using graphite electrodes?
Answer Details
When an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is electrolyzed using graphite electrodes, the following occurs: At the cathode (negative electrode), hydrogen gas is produced through the reduction of water molecules. This is because water has a lower reduction potential than Na+ ions in the solution. 2H2O(l) + 2e- -> H2(g) + 2OH-(aq) At the anode (positive electrode), the hydroxide ions (OH-) are oxidized to form oxygen gas and water molecules. This is because OH- ions have a higher oxidation potential than water molecules. 4OH-(aq) -> 2H2O(l) + O2(g) + 4e- Therefore, the correct option is (c) Oxygen gas is produced at the anode.
Question 16 Report

Answer Details
The oxidation number of phosphorus in PO3/4 is +5. To determine the oxidation number of phosphorus, we can use the fact that the sum of the oxidation numbers of all atoms in a neutral compound is zero. Since oxygen has an oxidation number of -2, we can set up the equation: x + 4(-2) = 0 where x is the oxidation number of phosphorus. Solving for x gives: x = +5 Therefore, the oxidation number of phosphorus in PO3/4 is +5.

Question 18 Report
If the volume of a given mass of gas at 0oC is 27.3cm3, what will be the volume of the gas at 10oC, pressure remaining constant?
Answer Details
The volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature, provided the pressure and the amount of gas remain constant. This relationship is known as Charles's law. According to Charles's law, when the temperature of a gas is increased, its volume will also increase, and when the temperature of a gas is decreased, its volume will also decrease. In this case, the initial volume of the gas is 27.3cm3 at 0oC. If the temperature is increased to 10oC while the pressure remains constant, we can use Charles's law to calculate the new volume of the gas. Charles's law states that the ratio of the initial volume to the initial temperature is equal to the ratio of the final volume to the final temperature. In other words: (V1 / T1) = (V2 / T2) Where: V1 = initial volume T1 = initial temperature V2 = final volume (unknown) T2 = final temperature Substituting the given values, we have: (27.3 / 273) = (V2 / 283) Solving for V2, we get: V2 = (27.3 / 273) x 283 V2 ≈ 28.3cm3 Therefore, the volume of the gas at 10oC, pressure remaining constant, is approximately 28.3cm3. Hence, the correct option is (ii) 28.3cm3.
Question 19 Report
The components of universal indicator solution can best be separated by
Answer Details
Universal indicator solution is a mixture of different indicators that changes color over a range of pH values. The best method to separate the components of universal indicator solution is chromatography. Chromatography is a method used to separate different components of a mixture based on their physical and chemical properties. In this case, the components of universal indicator solution can be separated based on their different solubility and adsorption properties. A small amount of the solution is placed on a chromatography paper and allowed to separate through the paper by capillary action. The different components of the mixture will travel at different rates based on their solubility in the solvent and their interaction with the paper. As a result, the different components can be separated and identified by their distinct color changes as they travel through the paper. Filtration, evaporation, crystallization, and fractional distillation are all separation methods that are based on the physical properties of the components of a mixture, such as their boiling points or solubility in a particular solvent. These methods are not suitable for separating the components of universal indicator solution, which are all indicators with similar physical properties.

Question 21 Report
Tetraoxosulphate (lV) acid is described as strong acid because it is highly
Answer Details
Tetraoxosulphate (IV) acid, also known as sulfuric acid, is considered a strong acid because it completely ionizes in water. When sulfuric acid dissolves in water, it breaks down completely into hydrogen ions (H+) and sulfate ions (SO4^2-). This means that all the sulfuric acid molecules present in the solution donate their hydrogen ions to the water, resulting in a high concentration of H+ ions in the solution. These H+ ions can react with other substances, making sulfuric acid a powerful and reactive acid. Therefore, - "ionized in water" - is the correct answer.

Answer Details
The positive charge of an element in the Periodic Table is determined by the number of protons in its atom. This is because the positive charge of an atom is equal to the number of protons in its nucleus, which is also known as its atomic number. The atomic number is the defining characteristic of an element and determines its position in the Periodic Table. Each element has a unique atomic number which corresponds to the number of protons in its nucleus. Therefore, the number of protons in an atom determines its positive charge and its position in the Periodic Table.
Question 24 Report
When naphthalene on heating changes from the solid state directly to the gaseous state it undergoes
Answer Details
When naphthalene changes from the solid state directly to the gaseous state upon heating, it undergoes sublimation. Sublimation is the process in which a solid directly changes into a gas without going through the liquid state. This occurs when the vapor pressure of the solid is greater than the atmospheric pressure. In the case of naphthalene, it has a high vapor pressure at room temperature and atmospheric pressure, which allows it to undergo sublimation when heated.
Question 25 Report

Answer Details
Destructive distillation of coal means heating coal in the absence of air. This process breaks down the complex organic compounds in coal into simpler molecules such as gases, liquids, and solids. These products are then collected and can be used for a variety of purposes such as the production of coal gas, tar, and coke. This process is called destructive distillation because the coal is being broken down or "destroyed" into simpler substances through the process of heating.

Answer Details
The statement "In any chemical reaction, the total mass of the products is always equal to that of the reactants" is the statement of the law of conservation of matter. This law, also known as the law of conservation of mass, states that in a closed system, the total mass of the system remains constant during a chemical reaction. This means that the mass of the reactants before the reaction is the same as the mass of the products after the reaction. In other words, matter cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction; it can only be transformed from one form to another. This law is a fundamental principle of chemistry and is essential in understanding the behavior of matter in chemical reactions. It was first proposed by Antoine Lavoisier, a French chemist in the late 18th century, and has since become one of the most important principles in chemistry.

Answer Details
Calcium is usually extracted by the electrolysis of its chloride. Electrolysis is a process that involves the use of electrical energy to break down a compound into its constituent elements. In the case of calcium, the most common compound that it is extracted from is calcium chloride (CaCl2). Calcium chloride is an ionic compound, which means that it consists of positively charged calcium ions and negatively charged chloride ions. During electrolysis, an electric current is passed through a molten or dissolved compound, causing the ions to move towards the electrodes. At the negative electrode (cathode), the positively charged calcium ions gain electrons and are reduced to form calcium atoms. At the positive electrode (anode), the negatively charged chloride ions lose electrons and are oxidized to form chlorine gas. The overall reaction during the electrolysis of calcium chloride is: CaCl2(l) → Ca(l) + Cl2(g) This process is used to extract calcium on an industrial scale, as it is an efficient method for producing large quantities of calcium.

Question 32 Report
Alkanols have unexpectedly high boiling points relative to their molar masses because of intermolecular
Answer Details
Alkanols, also known as alcohols, have unexpectedly high boiling points relative to their molar masses because of intermolecular hydrogen bonding. Hydrogen bonding is a type of intermolecular force that occurs when a hydrogen atom bonded to an electronegative atom, such as oxygen or nitrogen, is attracted to another electronegative atom in a nearby molecule. In the case of alkanols, the hydrogen atom attached to the oxygen atom in one molecule can form a hydrogen bond with the oxygen atom of another molecule. This results in a network of intermolecular hydrogen bonds that are much stronger than the weak van der Waals' forces that exist between non-polar molecules of similar size and shape. Due to the presence of these strong intermolecular forces, more thermal energy is required to overcome these forces and cause the molecules to separate, resulting in higher boiling points of alkanols relative to other organic compounds of similar molar mass.

Question 35 Report
Which of the following would increase the rate of reaction of chips of a metal M as shown in the equation below? M(s) + 2HCI(aq) → MCI2(aq) + H2(g)
Answer Details
Grinding the metal into powder would increase the rate of reaction of chips of a metal M in the given equation. The rate of reaction depends on the surface area of the reactants in contact with each other. When the metal is in the form of chips, the surface area in contact with the hydrochloric acid is relatively small, and the rate of reaction is slow. However, by grinding the metal into powder, the surface area of the metal in contact with the acid increases significantly, allowing more metal to react at a faster rate. Therefore, grinding the metal into powder increases the rate of reaction. The other options would not increase the rate of reaction of chips of a metal M in the given equation. Diluting the hydrochloric acid or adding distilled water would decrease the concentration of the acid, which would slow down the reaction rate. Decreasing the temperature would decrease the kinetic energy of the molecules, leading to a slower rate of reaction. Increasing the pressure would not have a significant effect on the rate of the reaction in this case.
Question 36 Report
The following compounds contain the same type of bonds except
Answer Details
The compound that does not contain the same type of bonds as the others is hydrogen chloride. Hydrogen chloride is a covalent compound, while the others are all ionic compounds. Covalent bonds are formed by the sharing of electrons between atoms, while ionic bonds are formed by the transfer of electrons from one atom to another. In hydrogen chloride, the hydrogen atom and chlorine atom share electrons to form a covalent bond. In contrast, in sodium chloride, magnesium chloride, potassium chloride, and lithium chloride, the metal atom donates electrons to the nonmetal atom to form an ionic bond. Therefore, all the other compounds contain ionic bonds, while hydrogen chloride contains a covalent bond.
