Q1 mcq
For the reaction, 2Cl(g) → Cl2(g), the correct option is:
a.
ΔrH < 0 and ΔrS < 0 Correct Answer
b.
ΔrH > 0 and ΔrS > 0
c.
ΔrH > 0 and ΔrS < 0
d.
ΔrH < 0 and ΔrS > 0
Step-by-Step AI Explanation
Verified Method
Formation of Cl2 from atomic chlorine releases energy, so the reaction is exothermic and ΔrH < 0. Two gaseous species form one gaseous molecule, so disorder decreases and ΔrS < 0.
Q2 mcq
Which of the following set of molecules will have zero dipole moment?
a.
Boron trifluoride, beryllium difluoride, carbon dioxide, 1,4-dichlorobenzene Correct Answer
b.
Ammonia, beryllium difluoride, water, 1,4-dichlorobenzene
c.
Boron trifluoride, hydrogen fluoride, carbon dioxide, 1,3-dichlorobenzene
d.
Nitrogen trifluoride, beryllium difluoride, water, 1,3-dichlorobenzene
Step-by-Step AI Explanation
Verified Method
BF3 is trigonal planar and symmetric, BeF2 is linear and symmetric, and CO2 is linear and symmetric. 1,4-dichlorobenzene has symmetrical substitution, so its dipoles cancel. The other options include polar molecules or unsymmetrical isomers.
Q3 mcq
The correct option for free expansion of an ideal gas under adiabatic condition is:
a.
q > 0, ΔT > 0 and w > 0
b.
q = 0, ΔT = 0 and w = 0 Correct Answer
c.
q = 0, ΔT < 0 and w > 0
d.
q < 0, ΔT = 0 and w = 0
Step-by-Step AI Explanation
Verified Method
In free expansion against vacuum, no work is done (w = 0). Under adiabatic conditions, q = 0. For an ideal gas, internal energy depends only on temperature, so ΔT = 0.
Q4 mcq
Identify a molecule which does not exist.
a.
O2
b.
He2 Correct Answer
c.
Li2
d.
C2
Step-by-Step AI Explanation
Verified Method
He2 does not exist as a stable molecule because helium atoms have a completely filled 1s shell and bonding is not favored. O2 and Li2 are known stable species; C2 exists as a diatomic molecule under suitable conditions.
Q5 mcq
Match the following and identify the correct option. (a) CO + H2 (b) Temporary hardness of water (c) B2H6 (d) H2O2
a.
(a) Synthesis gas, (b) Mg(HCO3)2/Ca(HCO3)2, (c) electron deficient hydride, (d) non-planar structure Correct Answer
b.

c.
(a) Synthesis gas, (b) electron deficient hydride, (c) Mg(HCO3)2/Ca(HCO3)2, (d) non-planar structure
d.
(a) Synthesis gas, (b) non-planar structure, (c) electron deficient hydride, (d) Mg(HCO3)2/Ca(HCO3)2
Step-by-Step AI Explanation
Verified Method
CO + H2 is synthesis gas; temporary hardness of water is due to bicarbonates of Ca and Mg; B2H6 is an electron-deficient hydride; H2O2 has a non-planar (skewed) structure.
Q6 mcq
Identify the correct statement from the following:
a.
Pig iron can be moulded into a variety of shapes.
b.
Wrought iron is impure iron with 4% carbon.
c.
Blister copper has blistered appearance due to evolution of CO2.
d.
Vapour phase refining is carried out for nickel by Van Arkel method. Correct Answer
Step-by-Step AI Explanation
Verified Method
Van Arkel method is a vapour phase refining process used for metals like titanium, zirconium and nickel. The other statements are incorrect: pig iron is brittle and not easily moulded; wrought iron has very low carbon content; blister copper gets its blistered appearance due to evolution of SO2, not CO2.
Q6 mcq
Identify the correct statement from the following:
a.
Pig iron can be moulded into a variety of shapes.
b.
Wrought iron is impure iron with 4% carbon.
c.
Blister copper has blistered appearance due to evolution of CO2.
d.
Vapour phase refining is carried out for Nickel by Van Arkel method. Correct Answer
Step-by-Step AI Explanation
Verified Method
Van Arkel method is used for vapour phase refining of metals such as Ti, Zr and Ni. Pig iron is brittle, wrought iron has very low carbon content, and blister copper gets its appearance due to escaping SO2, not CO2.
Q7 mcq
