Question 1 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.

Answer Details
The reason why calcium forms complexes with ammonia is that it has empty d-orbitals.
Question 3 Report
A certain liquid has a high boiling point. It is viscous, non-toxic, and miscible with water to be hygroscopic; this liquid most likely to be
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 4 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 5 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 6 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.
Question 7 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 8 Report
\(2\mathrm{H}_2 + \mathrm{O}_2 \rightarrow 2\mathrm{H}_2\mathrm{O}\)
From the equation above, calculate the volume of unreacted oxygen gas if a mixture of \(50\mathrm{cm}^3\) of hydroden and \(75\mathrm{cm}^3\) 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 9 Report
What volume of (dm\(^{3}\)) of water will be added to 10dm\(^{3}\) of 2.0 mol/dm\(^{3}\) HCL acid solution to give a final solution of 0.5 mol/dm\(^{3}\)?
Answer Details
Question 10 Report
The reactions below represent neutralization reaction, in which of them is the value of ΔH highest?
Answer Details
The reaction with the highest ΔH (change in enthalpy) would be the reaction between HCL and NaOH, which forms NaCL and H2O. This is because the formation of water releases energy in the form of heat, which is reflected in the positive ΔH value for this reaction. When an acid and a base react, they neutralize each other and form a salt and water, with the release of heat being a sign of an exothermic reaction.
Question 11 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 12 Report
A quantity of air passed through a weighted amount of alkaline pyrogallol. An increase in the weight of the pyrogallol would result from the absorption of
Answer Details
When air is passed through alkaline pyrogallol, the oxygen in the air is absorbed by the pyrogallol, resulting in an increase in the weight of the pyrogallol. The other gases in air, namely nitrogen, neon, and argon, do not react with pyrogallol under these conditions. Therefore, the answer is oxygen.
Question 13 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 14 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.
Question 15 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 16 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 17 Report
When marble is heated to 1473K, another whiter solid is obtained which reacts vigoriously with water to give an alkaline solution. The solution contains
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 18 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 19 Report
6g of Mg was to 100cm3 of 1 moldm3 H2 SO4 . What mass of Mg remained undissolved? (Mg = 24)
Answer Details
The balanced chemical equation for the reaction between magnesium (Mg) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4) is: Mg + H2SO4 -> MgSO4 + H2 According to the equation, one mole of Mg reacts with one mole of H2SO4 to produce one mole of magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) and one mole of hydrogen gas (H2). Since the concentration of the sulfuric acid is 1 moldm3, this means that there is one mole of H2SO4 in every 1 liter (1000 cm3) of solution. To determine the amount of Mg that reacts with the H2SO4, we need to use stoichiometry. One mole of Mg reacts with one mole of H2SO4, so the amount of Mg that reacts with 1 moldm3 of H2SO4 is given by: 6g / 24g/mol = 0.25 mol Since the reaction is 1:1, this means that 0.25 mol of H2SO4 is consumed in the reaction. The volume of the solution is 100cm3 (0.1 dm3), so the amount of H2SO4 in the solution is: 1 mol/dm3 x 0.1 dm3 = 0.1 mol The amount of H2SO4 that remains after the reaction is: 0.1 mol - 0.25 mol = -0.15 mol This negative value means that all of the H2SO4 was consumed in the reaction, and there is excess Mg left over. The mass of Mg that remains undissolved is given by: 0.15 mol x 24g/mol = 3.6g Therefore, the correct answer is 3.6g.
Question 20 Report
\( \mathrm{Zn + 2HCl \rightarrow ZnCl_2 + H_2} \)
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 21 Report
What is the shape of a molecule of CCl4?
Answer Details
The shape of a molecule of CCl4 is tetrahedral.
Question 22 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 23 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 27 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 28 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.

Nitrochalk is commonly used in agriculture and gardening to fertilize crops such as corn, wheat, and soybeans, as well as fruits and vegetables.
Question 40 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.
