Chemistry
A. 1
B. 1.5
C. 2
D. 3
Answer: O2 has a bond order of 2 calculated from molecular orbital theory as (8-4)/2 = 2.
Chemistry
A. White
B. Blue
C. Reddish brown
D. Green
Answer: FeCl3 reacts with NaOH to form Fe(OH)3, which is a reddish-brown precipitate.
Chemistry
A. Linear
B. Trigonal planar
C. Tetrahedral
D. Trigonal pyramidal
Answer: NH3 has three bonding pairs and one lone pair on nitrogen, giving a trigonal pyramidal shape.
Chemistry
A. 1
B. 2
C. 3
D. 4
Answer: HCl is a strong acid, so [H+] = 0.001 M = 10^-3 M, giving pH = 3.
Chemistry
A. NH3
B. Cl-
C. H+
D. OH-
Answer: H+ is electron-deficient and accepts electron pairs, making it an electrophile.
Chemistry
A. NH3
B. H2O
C. BF3
D. OH-
Answer: BF3 has an incomplete octet on boron and can accept an electron pair, making it a Lewis acid.
Chemistry
A. Ethanal
B. Ethanoic acid
C. Ethanol
D. Ethane
Answer: Ethene undergoes hydration in acidic medium to form ethanol via electrophilic addition.
Chemistry
A. +2
B. +4
C. +3
D. +6
Answer: In Fe2O3, two iron atoms balance three oxygen atoms (each -2), so iron is +3.
Chemistry
A. SO2
B. Na2O
C. Al2O3
D. Cl2O7
Answer: Al2O3 is amphoteric and reacts with both acids and bases to form salts and water.
Chemistry
A. 25%
B. 50%
C. 75%
D. 80%
Answer: Carbon is 12 g/mol out of total 16 g/mol for CH4, giving 12/16 x 100 = 75%.
Chemistry
A. BF3
B. AlCl3
C. NH3
D. H+
Answer: NH3 has a lone pair of electrons on nitrogen that it can donate, making it a Lewis base.
Chemistry
A. O2
B. Cl2
C. H2
D. F2
Answer: H2 donates electrons and reduces other substances while itself getting oxidized.
Chemistry
A. Iron
B. Nickel
C. Vanadium pentoxide (V2O5)
D. Platinum
Answer: V2O5 catalyzes the oxidation of SO2 to SO3 in the Contact process for sulfuric acid production.
Chemistry
A. BCC
B. FCC
C. HCP
D. Simple cubic
Answer: NaCl has a face-centered cubic structure where each ion is surrounded by 6 ions of opposite charge.
Chemistry
A. Butane
B. Propane
C. 2-Butanol
D. Ethanol
Answer: 2-Butanol has a chiral carbon bonded to four different groups, making it optically active.
Chemistry
A. +1
B. +2
C. +3
D. +4
Answer: In Al2O3, two aluminium atoms balance three oxygen atoms (each -2), so aluminium is +3.
Chemistry
A. Polyethene
B. Polypropene
C. Nylon-6,6
D. Polystyrene
Answer: Nylon-6,6 is formed by condensation of adipic acid and hexamethylenediamine with loss of water.
Chemistry
A. Kp = Kc
B. Kp = Kc(RT)
C. Kp = Kc(RT)^-2
D. Kp = Kc(RT)^2
Answer: Kp = Kc(RT)^dn where dn = 2 - 4 = -2, so Kp = Kc(RT)^-2.
Chemistry
A. 4
B. 5
C. 6
D. 7
Answer: Sulfur in SF6 is bonded to 6 fluorine atoms with no lone pairs, giving a steric number of 6.
Chemistry
A. H+
B. BF3
C. OH-
D. Na+
Answer: OH- has lone pairs and a negative charge, enabling it to donate electrons to electron-deficient centers.
