d) 30.1, 22.8, 46.7
e) 30, 21.8, 46.7
Correct Answer: c) 31.4, 22.8 & 45.7
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
Explanation:Method is as follows:
Molecular formula for sodium sulphate is Na2SO4
Molar mass of sodium sulphate is 44+32+64 = 140
Mass percent of sodium is (2*22) / (140) * 100 = 31.4
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
Mass percent of sulphur is (1*32) / (140) * 100 = 22.8Mass percent of oxygen is (4*16) / (140) * 100 = 45.7

c) Cooking rice in a pressure cookerd) An open tank of water
e) Hot water in a thermos flask
Correct Answer: e) Hot water in a thermos flask
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
Explanation:Hot water in a thermos flask is an example for an isolated system where neither energy nor matter
can enter or exit. Boiling a soup in an open sauce pan in a stove is an example for open system in
which, it can freely exchange its energy and matter with its surroundings. Cooking rice in a pressure
cooker is an example for a closed system where it can exchange only energy with its surroundings. A

Question 4
The bond order for helium molecule is
a) 1
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
b) 2c) 2.5
d) 3
e) 0
Correct Answer: e) 0
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
Explanation:The electronic configuration of helium in the ground state is represented as (1s)2 and in the excited
state, it is represented as (*1s)2.
So, number of electrons in bonding molecular orbital (Nb) is 2 and number of electrons in antibonding
molecular orbital (Na) is 2.
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
The bond order for He2 is 0, so the molecule does not exist.Question 5
The order of ionisation energy is
a) s< p < d < f
b) s> p > d > f
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
c) s> p > d < fd) s< d < p < f
e) s< p < f < d
Correct Answer: b) s > p > d > f
Explanation:
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
The ionisation energy depends upon the atomic radius. As the s-orbital electrons remain closer to thenucleus, the ionisation energy will be greater for s- orbital than for p-, d- and f- orbitals.

Question 6
Which of the following alkyl halides will undergo faster S 2
N reactions?
a) CH3 ? X
b) 10 alkyl halide
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
c) 20 alkyl halided) 30 alkyl halide
e) All of these
Correct Answer: a) CH3 ? X
Explanation:
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
When the number of R groups in the carbon atoms gets increased, the reactivity of S 2N reactions will
be decreased. So, methyl halide will undergo faster S 2
N reaction than primary, secondary and tertiary
alkyl halides. Tertiary alkyl halide does not undergo S 2

N reaction because of steric hindrance.Question 7
Which apparatus is used for mixing of organic chemicals?
a) Erlenmeyer flask
b) Florence flask
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
c) Beakerd) Measuring jar
e) Buckner funnel
Correct Answer: b) Florence flask
Explanation:
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
Florence flask is used for mixing of organic chemicals. It is commonly called as round-bottom flask orboiling flask. Its narrow neck prevents the splash exposure.
Erlenmeyer flask is used for volumetric titration. It is also called as conical flask.
Buckner funnel is used for vacuum filtration.
Question 8

The relative intensity of signals in proton NMR is related toa) Chemical shift and magnetic environment of proton
b) Different number of protons
c) Number of adjacent atoms containing number of protons
d) Total number of protons present in the molecule
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
e) Coupling constantCorrect Answer: d) Total number of protons present in the molecule
Explanation:
The relative intensity of signals in proton NMR is proportional to total number of protons present in the
molecule. Number of signals indicates how many different kinds of protons are present in the
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
molecule. Position of signals indicates the chemical shift and magnetic environment of proton.Splitting of signals indicates the number of adjacent atoms containing different number of protons.
Question 9
For acid-base equilibrium, the reaction always favours theformation of the
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
a) Strongest acid and the Strongest baseb) Weakest acid and the strongest base
c) Weakest acid and the weakest base
d) Strongest acid and the weakest base
e) Either a or c
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
Correct Answer: c) Weakest acid and weakest baseExplanation:
In an acid-base equilibrium, the reaction always favours the formation of the weakest acid and the
weakest base due to their stability. The weakest acid and the weakest base must always be on the
same side of the reaction.

Question 10The oxidation state of oxygen in OF2 is
a) -2
b) +1
c) -1
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
d) +2e) 0
Correct Answer: d) +2
Explanation:
It's an unusual compound, in which oxygen takes the positive oxidation number +2. Because F is
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
more electronegative than O, therefore F gets the -1 oxidation state and O gets the positive oxidationstate.

The defect which is generally found in compounds of transition metals having variable valencyis
a) Schottky defect
b) Frenkel defect
c) Metal excess defect
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
d) Metal deficiency defecte) Line defect
Correct Answer: d) Metal deficiency defect
Explanation:
Metal deficiency defect is due to cation vacancy. Schottky defect is commonly found in ionic crystals
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
in which cations and anions are of similar size. Frenkel defect is shown by ionic crystals of differentsize. Metal excess defect is due to anion vacancy and interstitial cation. In line defect, groups of
atoms are arranged in an irregular position.
Question 15
When a decomposition reaction involves redox reactions, it is called
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
a) Single displacement reactions
b) Internal redox reaction
c) Simple redox reaction
d) Disproportionation reaction
e) None of these
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
Correct Answer: b) Internal redox reaction.Explanation:
When a decomposition reaction involves redox reactions; it is called asinternal redox reaction,
because the oxidized and reduced elements originate in the same compound. N in NH +
4 is oxidized
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
from -3 to 0 and N in NO -2 is reduced from +3 to 0. Both redox reactions occur in the same
NH4NO2 molecule.
Ex: NH4NO2(s)N2(g) + 2 H2O(g)
In single displacement reactions, atom of one reactant replaces the atom of the other reactant.
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
Ex: a A + b BCc AC + d BIn simple redox reaction,oxidation numbers of ionic reactants are changed by the direct transfer of
electrons from one ion to the other.
Ex: 2 Fe3+(aq) + Sn2+(aq) 2 Fe2+(aq) + Sn4+(aq)
In a disproportionation reaction, the same species will simultaneously get oxidised and reduced to
