Question 2 Rapport
How many electrons will be found in the nucleus of an atom with mass number 23 and 17 neutrons?
Détails de la réponse
Electrons are not found in the nucleus of an atom. The nucleus of an atom only contains protons and neutrons, while electrons are located outside the nucleus in the electron cloud. The mass number of an atom is equal to the sum of the number of protons and the number of neutrons in the nucleus. Therefore, if an atom has a mass number of 23 and 17 neutrons, then the number of protons in the nucleus can be calculated as: Protons = Mass number - Neutrons Protons = 23 - 17 Protons = 6 This means that the nucleus of the atom contains 6 protons. The number of electrons in a neutral atom is equal to the number of protons, so the atom also contains 6 electrons in the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus. In summary, the answer is that there are 6 protons and 6 electrons in the atom.
Question 3 Rapport
If acidified Potassium Dichromate(VI) (K2 Cr2 O7 ) acts as oxidizing agent, color changes from
Détails de la réponse
Potassium Dichromate (VI), when it is acidified, acts as an oxidizing agent. When this happens, the color changes from orange to green. This is because the orange color of the potassium dichromate is due to the presence of Cr(VI) ions, which are oxidized to Cr(III) ions. The green color that is produced is due to the formation of chromium(III) ions. In this reaction, the dichromate ions are being oxidized, which means that they are losing electrons, and the chromium ions are being reduced, which means that they are gaining electrons. The transfer of electrons causes the color change from orange to green.

Question 6 Rapport
Which of the following alkaline metals react more quickly spontaneously with water?
Détails de la réponse
The alkaline earth metals (Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, and Ra) are the second most reactive metals in the periodic table, and, like the Group 1 metals, have increasing reactivity in the higher periods. Beryllium (Be) is the only alkaline earth metal that does not react with water or steam, even if metal is heated to red heat. Additionally, beryllium has a resistant outer oxide layer that lowers its reactivity at lower temperatures.
Magnesium shows insignificant reaction with water, but burns vigorously with steam or water vapor to produce white magnesium oxide and hydrogen gas:
A metal reacting with cold water will produce metal hydroxide. However, if a metal reacts with steam, like magnesium, metal oxide is produced as a result of metal hydroxides splitting upon heating.
The hydroxides of calcium, strontium and barium are only slightly water-soluble but produce sufficient hydroxide ions to make the environment basic, giving a general equation of:
Order of reactivity | Metal | Reactions with water or steam |
---|---|---|
most reactive | potassium (K) | very vigorous reaction with cold water |
↑ | sodium (Na) | vigorous reaction with cold water |
↓ | calcium (Ca) | less vigorous reaction with cold water |
least reactive | magnesium (Mg) | slow reaction with cold water, vigorous with steam |

Question 8 Rapport
In the reaction:
M + N → P
ΔH = +Q kJWhich of the following would increase the concentration of the product?
Détails de la réponse
Increasing the temperature would increase the concentration of the product, P. The reaction rate, or the speed at which the reaction occurs, is influenced by temperature. An increase in temperature raises the kinetic energy of the reacting molecules, making it easier for them to collide and react. This leads to a higher rate of reaction and a higher concentration of the product, P. Adding a suitable catalyst can also increase the reaction rate, but it does not directly affect the concentration of the product. Increasing the concentration of P does not affect the reaction itself, but is a result of the reaction having taken place. Decreasing the temperature would slow down the reaction rate and reduce the concentration of the product.

Question 12 Rapport
Which of the following represents the kind of bonding present in ammonium chloride?
Détails de la réponse
Ammonium chloride contains both ionic and covalent bonds. In ammonium chloride, the ammonium ion (NH4+) is positively charged and the chloride ion (Cl-) is negatively charged. These ions are held together by ionic bonds, which are formed between positively and negatively charged ions. However, the bond between the hydrogen atom in the ammonium ion and the nitrogen atom in the ammonium ion is also a covalent bond. This type of covalent bond is known as a dative covalent bond, or a coordinate covalent bond, because the electron pair being shared is supplied by one atom only (the nitrogen atom in this case). So, the kind of bonding present in ammonium chloride is both ionic and dative covalent. In simple terms, ammonium chloride contains both ionic bonds between its positive and negative ions, and a dative covalent bond between the hydrogen atom and nitrogen atom within the ammonium ion.
Question 13 Rapport

Détails de la réponse
The IUPAC name for the given molecule is ethyl propanoate. To arrive at the IUPAC name, we first identify the longest continuous chain of carbon atoms, which in this case is a 4-carbon chain (propane). We then identify and name the substituent groups attached to this chain, which are a methyl group (CH3) attached to the second carbon atom and an ethoxy group (OC2H5) attached to the third carbon atom. The ethoxy group is named as an ethyl group, and the entire molecule is named as ethyl propanoate, following the standard IUPAC naming conventions for esters.

Détails de la réponse
The part of the total energy of a system that accounts for the useful work done in a system is known as "Gibbs free energy". Gibbs free energy is a thermodynamic property that represents the amount of energy that can be converted into useful work in a system. It takes into account both the energy of the system and the entropy, or disorder, of the system. In other words, Gibbs free energy is a measure of the energy available to do work, taking into account the energy that is unavailable due to entropy. In simple terms, if a system has a high Gibbs free energy, it has a lot of energy available to do work, and if a system has a low Gibbs free energy, it has little energy available to do work.

Question 18 Rapport
Which of the following pairs cannot be represented with a chemical formula?
Détails de la réponse
The pair that cannot be represented with a chemical formula is air and bronze. Air is a mixture of several gases, primarily nitrogen (N₂) and oxygen (O₂), with small amounts of other gases such as argon (Ar), carbon dioxide (CO₂), and neon (Ne). Since air is a mixture and not a pure substance, it cannot be represented by a chemical formula. Bronze, on the other hand, is an alloy composed mainly of copper (Cu) and tin (Sn) with small amounts of other metals. The composition of bronze can vary depending on the specific alloy, but it can be represented by a chemical formula such as CuSn. Sodium chloride (NaCl) is a compound composed of sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl) in a fixed ratio of 1:1, and it can be represented by a chemical formula. Similarly, copper (Cu) and sodium chloride (NaCl) can each be represented by a chemical formula. Cu is an element, so its chemical formula is simply its symbol, while NaCl is a compound with a fixed ratio of sodium and chlorine atoms. Caustic soda (sodium hydroxide, NaOH) and washing soda (sodium carbonate, Na₂CO₃) are both compounds that can be represented by chemical formulas. NaOH consists of one sodium atom, one oxygen atom, and one hydrogen atom, while Na₂CO₃ consists of two sodium atoms, one carbon atom, and three oxygen atoms.

Question 21 Rapport
Sulphur exists in six forms in the solid state. This property is known as
Détails de la réponse
The property of sulfur existing in six different forms in the solid-state is known as allotropy. Allotropy is a phenomenon where an element can exist in multiple forms, called allotropes, that have different physical and chemical properties but are composed of the same atoms. These different forms arise due to differences in the arrangement of atoms or molecules within the substance. In the case of sulfur, it can exist in multiple solid-state allotropes, including rhombic, monoclinic, and plastic sulfur, among others. Each of these allotropes has a different crystal structure, melting point, and other physical and chemical properties, even though they are all composed of sulfur atoms. Allotropy is a common phenomenon observed in many elements, including carbon, oxygen, and phosphorus, among others.
Question 22 Rapport
For the general equation of the nature

Détails de la réponse
The expression for the equilibrium constant for the general equation XP + yQ ⇌ mR + nS is: Kc = [R]m[S]n / [P]x[Q]y where Kc is the equilibrium constant, [R] and [S] are the concentrations of the products, and [P] and [Q] are the concentrations of the reactants, all raised to the stoichiometric coefficients (m, n, x, y) in the balanced equation. This equation is known as the equilibrium constant expression and it represents the ratio of the concentrations of the products and reactants at equilibrium for a particular chemical reaction. The equilibrium constant is a measure of how far a reaction proceeds towards completion, with a larger value indicating a greater extent of reaction. The equilibrium constant expression is derived from the law of mass action, which states that the rate of a chemical reaction is proportional to the product of the concentrations of the reactants raised to their stoichiometric coefficients. At equilibrium, the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal, and the equilibrium constant expression represents the ratio of the rate constants for these two reactions. Therefore, the correct expression for the equilibrium constant for the general equation XP + yQ ⇌ mR + nS is Kc = [R]m[S]n / [P]x[Q]y.

Question 24 Rapport
Which of the following could not be alkane?
Détails de la réponse
An alkane is a type of hydrocarbon with only single bonds between the carbon atoms. It follows the general formula CnH2n+2, where "n" is the number of carbon atoms in the molecule. To determine whether a molecule is an alkane or not, we can calculate its molecular formula and check if it fits the general formula of alkane. Out of the given options, the third one (C7H14) cannot be an alkane. To see why, let's use the general formula of alkane, which is CnH2n+2. For C7H14 to be an alkane, it should have 2n+2 = 2(7) + 2 = 16 hydrogen atoms. However, C7H14 has only 14 hydrogen atoms, which means it does not follow the general formula of alkane. Therefore, C7H14 cannot be an alkane. The other options are as follows: - C4H10: This is butane, which is an alkane with four carbon atoms. - C5H12: This is pentane, which is an alkane with five carbon atoms. - C8H18: This is octane, which is an alkane with eight carbon atoms. In summary, the molecule C7H14 cannot be an alkane because it does not follow the general formula of alkane, while the other options are all examples of alkanes.

Question 26 Rapport
When the end alkyl groups of ethyl ethanoate are interchanged, the compound formed is
Détails de la réponse
The compound formed when the end alkyl groups of ethyl ethanoate are interchanged is ethyl propanoate. This is because ethyl ethanoate consists of two parts: the "ethyl" group and the "ethanoate" group. The ethyl group is a two-carbon chain, and the ethanoate group is a combination of a one-carbon chain and a carbonyl group (C=O) that is also attached to an oxygen atom. When the end alkyl groups are interchanged, the "ethyl" group is moved from the second carbon to the first carbon of the ethanoate group, and the "propanoate" group is formed. The "propanoate" group consists of a three-carbon chain and the carbonyl group. Therefore, the resulting compound is ethyl propanoate, which has a chemical formula of CH3CH2COOCH2CH3. This compound is commonly used as a flavoring agent and has a fruity odor reminiscent of pears.

Détails de la réponse
Elements in the periodic table are arranged in the order of their atomic numbers. The atomic number of an element is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom of that element. The elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number from left to right and from top to bottom in the periodic table. The elements in each row, also known as a period, have the same number of electron shells, while the elements in each column, also known as a group or family, have the same number of valence electrons. This arrangement makes it possible to predict the chemical and physical properties of an element based on its position in the periodic table. Therefore, the correct answer is: - atomic numbers

Question 30 Rapport
Burning magnesium ribbon in air removes which of the following
(i) oxygen (ii) nitrogen (iii) argon and (iv) carbon(iv)oxide?
Détails de la réponse
Burning magnesium ribbon in air will remove oxygen (option i) from the air, but not nitrogen (option ii), argon (option iii), or carbon dioxide (option iv). When magnesium burns, it reacts with oxygen in the air to form magnesium oxide. The reaction can be represented by the following equation: 2Mg(s) + O2(g) → 2MgO(s) The magnesium in the ribbon combines with oxygen in the air to form solid magnesium oxide. This reaction is exothermic, which means that it releases heat and light energy. So, when magnesium ribbon is burned in air, it consumes the oxygen in the air to form magnesium oxide. However, nitrogen, argon, and carbon dioxide are not chemically reactive with magnesium, and therefore are not removed from the air by the burning of magnesium ribbon. In summary, the correct option is (i) only - burning magnesium ribbon in air removes oxygen only.
Question 32 Rapport
Which of the following is a physical change?
Détails de la réponse
A physical change refers to a change in a substance that does not result in a change in its chemical composition. Out of the options provided, freezing ice cream is a physical change. This is because when ice cream is frozen, it changes from a liquid state to a solid state without any chemical reaction occurring. Exposing white phosphorus to air is a chemical change, as it reacts with oxygen in the air to form a new substance, phosphorus oxide. Burning kerosene is also a chemical change, as it undergoes combustion to form new substances, such as carbon dioxide and water vapor. Dissolving calcium in water is a physical change, as it simply involves the physical mixing of two substances without any chemical reaction occurring. Therefore, the only option that is a physical change is freezing ice cream.

The ions responsible for hardness in water are Ca2+ and/or Mg2+. Hardness in water refers to the presence of calcium and magnesium ions, which are commonly found in natural water sources such as rivers, lakes, and groundwater. These ions can react with soap to form insoluble compounds, reducing the effectiveness of soap and causing scaling in pipes and appliances. The hardness of water is often measured in terms of the concentration of calcium and magnesium ions, expressed as calcium carbonate equivalents (CaCO3).
Question 36 Rapport
A radioactive nucleus has a half-life of 20 years, starting with 100,000 particles, how many particles will be left exactly at the end of 40 years
Détails de la réponse
The half-life of a radioactive nucleus is the time it takes for half of its particles to decay. This means that after 20 years, 100,000 particles will become 50,000 particles. After 40 years, we can find the number of particles remaining by counting the number of half-lives that have passed. Since 40 years is double the half-life of 20 years, this means that two half-lives have passed, so the number of particles will be halved twice. Starting with 100,000 particles: - After 1 half-life (20 years), there will be 50,000 particles remaining. - After 2 half-lives (40 years), there will be 25,000 particles remaining. So, exactly at the end of 40 years, there will be 25,000 particles remaining.
Question 37 Rapport
How many alkoxyalkanes can be obtained from the molecular formula C4 H10 O?
Détails de la réponse
Alkoxyalkanes have a general formula of R-O-R', where R and R' are alkyl groups. From the given molecular formula C4H10O, we can see that there are four carbon atoms, so the longest possible alkyl group is butyl (C4H9-). To form alkoxyalkanes, we need to attach an oxygen atom to the alkyl group. This can be done in three ways - by attaching the oxygen to one of the terminal carbon atoms (forming a primary alcohol), by attaching it to one of the central carbon atoms (forming a secondary alcohol), or by attaching it to the carbonyl carbon atom (forming an ester). So, we can obtain a maximum of three alkoxyalkanes from the given molecular formula. However, we need to take into account that there are different isomers possible for each type of alcohol or ester, depending on which carbon atom the oxygen is attached to. Therefore, the correct answer is (at least) 3.
Question 38 Rapport
The heat of formation of ethene, C2 H4 is 50 kJmol−1 , and that of ethane, C2 H6 is -82kJmol−1 . Calculate the heat evolved in the process:
C2 H4 + H2 → C2 H6
Détails de la réponse
The heat evolved in a chemical reaction can be calculated by subtracting the heat of formation of the reactants from the heat of formation of the products. In this case, the reactants are ethene (C2H4) and hydrogen (H2), and the product is ethane (C2H6). The heat of formation of ethene is 50 kJ/mol and that of hydrogen is 0 kJ/mol (because hydrogen is a reference element). The heat of formation of ethane is -82 kJ/mol. So, the heat evolved in the reaction is given by: Heat evolved = (Heat of formation of products) - (Heat of formation of reactants) = (-82 kJ/mol) - (50 kJ/mol + 0 kJ/mol) = -82 kJ/mol - 50 kJ/mol = -132 kJ/mol. Therefore, the heat evolved in the process is -132 kJ.
Question 39 Rapport
What volume of 0.100M sodium trioxonitrate (V) solution contains 5g of solute.
[Na = 23, N = 14, O = 16]
Détails de la réponse
To calculate the volume of a solution, we need to use the formula: moles of solute = concentration x volume First, let's find the number of moles of sodium trioxonitrate (V) in 5g of the solute. The molar mass of NaNO3 is: Na = 23 N = 14 3 x O = 3 x 16 = 48 Molar mass = 23 + 14 + 48 = 85 g/mol The number of moles of NaNO3 in 5g is: moles = mass / molar mass = 5 / 85 = 0.0588 moles Now, we can use the formula above to find the volume of the solution: moles of solute = concentration x volume volume = moles of solute / concentration volume = 0.0588 moles / 0.100 M volume = 0.588 litres Therefore, the correct answer is 0.588 litres of 0.100M sodium trioxonitrate (V) solution contains 5g of solute.
