Chemistry
A. Melting
B. Sublimation
C. Condensation
D. Evaporation
Answer: Sublimation is the phase transition where a solid changes directly into gas without becoming liquid.
Chemistry
A. H2SO4
B. H2S
C. SO2
D. SCl2
Answer: Sulfuric acid (H2SO4) is an oxoacid because it contains oxygen, hydrogen, and sulfur.
Chemistry
A. Increases down the group
B. Decreases down the group
C. Remains constant
D. First increases then decreases
Answer: Atomic radius increases down a group because new electron shells are added at each period.
Chemistry
A. Pascal
B. Bar
C. Atmosphere
D. Torr
Answer: The Pascal (Pa) is the SI unit of pressure, equal to one newton per square meter.
Chemistry
A. [Ar] 3d6
B. [Ar] 3d5
C. [Ar] 3d4
D. [Ar] 3d6 4s2
Answer: Fe has configuration [Ar] 3d6 4s2; losing 2 electrons from 4s gives [Ar] 3d6.
Chemistry
A. Acetic acid
B. Hydrochloric acid
C. Carbonic acid
D. Phosphoric acid
Answer: Hydrochloric acid (HCl) completely ionizes in water, making it a strong acid.
Chemistry
A. But-2-ene
B. Ethene
C. But-1-ene
D. Ethyne
Answer: But-2-ene exhibits cis-trans isomerism because each carbon of the double bond has different substituents.
Chemistry
A. 6, 8, 6
B. 6, 6, 8
C. 8, 6, 6
D. 6, 14, 6
Answer: Carbon-14 has 6 protons, 14 - 6 = 8 neutrons, and 6 electrons (neutral atom).
Chemistry
A. Sodium
B. Chlorine
C. Oxygen
D. Argon
Answer: Chlorine is a halogen and belongs to Group 17 of the periodic table.
Chemistry
A. 2, 8, 7
B. 2, 8, 8
C. 2, 8, 6
D. 2, 7, 8
Answer: Chlorine gains one electron to form Cl-, giving it 18 electrons arranged as 2, 8, 8 like argon.
Chemistry
A. N2O
B. NO
C. NO2
D. N2
Answer: Nitrous oxide (N2O) is called laughing gas because it produces euphoria when inhaled.
Chemistry
A. Propan-1-ol
B. Propan-2-ol
C. Butan-2-ol
D. 2-Methylpropan-2-ol
Answer: In propan-1-ol the hydroxyl group is attached to a carbon bonded to only one other carbon atom.
Chemistry
A. Increase in temperature
B. Decrease in temperature
C. Increase in pressure only
D. No change
Answer: Gas solubility in water increases as temperature decreases because kinetic energy of gas molecules reduces.
Chemistry
A. 2, 8, 2
B. 2, 8, 1
C. 2, 8, 7
D. 2, 7, 1
Answer: Sodium has 11 electrons arranged as 2, 8, 1 giving it one valence electron.
Chemistry
A. CH2=CH2 + H2 to CH3CH3
B. CH4 + Cl2 to CH3Cl + HCl
C. 2CH3CH2OH to CH3CH2OCH2CH3 + H2O
D. CH3COOH + NaOH to CH3COONa + H2O
Answer: In this reaction, hydrogen adds across the double bond of ethene to form ethane.
Chemistry
A. Vanadium pentoxide
B. Iron
C. Platinum
D. Manganese dioxide
Answer: Iron is used as a catalyst in the Haber process for the synthesis of ammonia from N2 and H2.
Chemistry
A. Zero
B. 1 kJ/mol
C. -1 kJ/mol
D. Depends on the element
Answer: By convention, the standard enthalpy of formation of an element in its most stable form is zero.
Chemistry
A. Sugar solution
B. Sodium chloride solution
C. Distilled water
D. Ethanol
Answer: Sodium chloride solution conducts electricity because it dissociates into Na+ and Cl- ions.
Chemistry
A. NaCl
B. CCl4
C. KBr
D. MgO
Answer: CCl4 is formed by sharing electrons between carbon and chlorine atoms, making it covalent.
Chemistry
A. CO2 and water
B. CO and water
C. CO2 and hydrogen
D. CO and hydrogen
Answer: Complete combustion of any hydrocarbon in excess oxygen always yields CO2 and H2O.
