Q-2)   Rusting of an iron is an example of

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

Rusting results in formation of iron oxide.


Q-3)   The empirical formula of a compound is CH2 . One mole of this compound has a mass of 42 grams. Its molecular formula is :

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

Empirical formula of compound = $CH_2$
Molecular mass of the compound = 42
∴ n = $42/14$ = 3
∴ Hence molecular formula = $C_3H_6$


Q-4)   When electrons are added the resulting ion is called

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

Cl + e Cl (acidic radicals)


Q-5)   An organic compound containing C, H and N gave the following analysis : C = 40% ; H = 13.33% ; N = 46.67% Its empirical formula would be

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

As the sum of the percentage of C, H & N is 100. Thus it does not contains O atom.

Table for empirical formula

Element%At. Wt.Rel.NumberRatio
C40.0012$40/12$= 3.66${3.66}/{3.33}=1.09 ∼ 1$
H13.331${13.33}/1$= 13.33${13.33}/{3.33}=4$
N46.6714${46.67}/14$= 3.33${3.33}/{3.33}=1$
Hence empirical formula = $CH_4$N

Q-7)   Which of the following is most unreactive ?

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

Mg++ (12 – 2 = 10e ) = 2, 8

Hence have complete octel hence inert.


Q-8)   The observation that does not indicate a chemical reaction is

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

A chemical reaction is generally accompanied by a change of temperature, colour or evolution of a gas.

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

This reaction is double displacement and precipitation as well because insoluble silver chloride gets precipitated.
