Question 1
How many significant figures are there in the following figures?
i. 6*104
ii. 0.008320
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
iii. 4.05*10-2iv. 100.0
a) 1, 7, 5, 4
b) 5, 6, 5, 3
c) 1, 4, 3, 4
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
d) 1, 7, 5, 3e) 1, 4, 3, 1
Correct Answer: c) 1, 4, 3, 4.
Explanation:
6*104 = 6000 has only one significant figure. Leading zeros are not significant, for 0.008320 it is 4.
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
Zeros appearing anywhere between two non-zero digits are significant figures, for 4.05*10-2 =0.00405, it is 3. Trailing zeros in a number containing a decimal point are significant, for 100.0 it is 4.
Question 2
One mole of any gas at STP occupies
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
a) 0.224 Lb) 0.022L
c) 2.24 L
d) 22.4 L
e) 23 L
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
Correct Answer: d) 22.4 LExplanation:
By applying Ideal gas equation, V = nRT/P
At STP, P=1 atm, n=1mol, R=0.082 L atm K-1 mol-1, T=273K
V = (1*0.082*273)/273 = 22.38 L = 22.4 L

Question 4
Identify the unit of concentration of the solution (NA)/(Kg of solvent).
a) Molarity
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
b) Molalityc) Normality
d) Mole fraction
e) ppm
Correct Answer: b) Molality
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
Explanation:Molarity (MA) = nA/ volume in litres.
Normality = Gram equivalent of A/Volume in litres of solution.
Mole fraction (i) = ni/ (n1+n2+n3....).
Parts per million (ppm) = (Mass of A/Total mass) x 106

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
b) Is lesser thanc) Equals
d) Is either greater or lesser than
e) Is zero to
Correct Answer: c) Equals
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
Explanation:The sum of oxidation numbers in polyatomic ion or species is equal to the charge of the ion. For
example, the sum of the oxidation number for SO 2-

Question 6In which of the following processes, is the process always non-feasible?
a) H>0, S>0
b) H<0, S>0
c) H>0, S<0
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
d) H<0, S<0e) H=0, S=0
Correct Answer: c) H>0, S<0
Explanation:
For a non-spontaneous or non-feasible process, H>0 and S<0. For a spontaneous or irreversible
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
reaction, H<0 and S>0. For an equilibrium or reversible process, H=0 and S=0.Question 7
The hybridisation in NH +
4 is
a) sp
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
b) sp2c) sp3
d) sp3d
e) sp3 d2
Correct Answer: c) sp3
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
Explanation:Number of valence electrons in N is 5 and in H it is 4.
So total number of valence electrons = 5 + 4 = 9; Charge = +1.
Therefore, total electrons in NH +
4 = 9 - 1 = 8
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
When the total number of electrons is less than 8, divide by 2. If it lies between 9 and 56, divide it by8.
8/2 = 4; X=4
Therefore, hybridisation in NH +
4 is sp3.

Question 8Slater's rule is used to calculate the value of
a) Screening constant
b) Electron affinity
c) Ionisation energy
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
d) Effective nuclear chargee) Both a and d
Correct Answer: e) Both a and d
Explanation:
The value of screening constant (S) and effective nuclear charge (Z*) can be calculated using Slater's
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
rule. Effective charge (Z*) = Z ? S (where Z- atomic number and S-screening constant).Question 9
Which of the following solvents is suitable for SN2 reactions?
a) Ethanol
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
b) Waterc) Acetonitrile
d) Acetic acid
e) t-butanol
Correct Answer: c) Acetone
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
Explanation:
Aprotic solvents do not solvate the anions effectively and it is used for S 2
N reactions. Acetonitrile is the
only aprotic solvent whereas others are polar protic solvents.

Question 11The base peak in a mass spectrum is
a) The peak set to 100 % relative intensity
b) The peak set to 0 % relative intensity
c) The peak corresponding to the parent ion
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
d) The highest mass peake) The lowest mass peak
Correct Answer: a) The peak set to 100 % relative intensity
Explanation:
The most intense peak is called as base peak. It usually corresponds to the molecular ion only, if the
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
spectra are recorded at low ionization energy.Question 12
Which of the following is the weakest base?
a) CH3
b) H-F
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
c) H-Cld) H-Br
e) H-I
Correct Answer: e) H-I
Explanation:
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
The electronegativity and atomic size of iodine is larger so there is a weaker bond between hydrogenand iodine that makes the electron cloud much lesser than H-F bond. So, H-I is the weakest base; in
other words it is the strongest acid.
Question 13
Which of the following shows the increasing order of solubility?

e) AgCl<kcl<pbs< li="" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"></kcl<pbs<>
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
Correct Answer: b) KCl<agcl<pbs< p="" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"></agcl<pbs<>Explanation:
KCl is highly soluble because its solubility is greater than 0.1M. AgCl is sparingly soluble because its
solubility is less than 0.01 M. PbS is least sparingly soluble becauseits solubility is very much less
than 0.01 M.

4. 0.5 V
5. 0.1V
Correct Answer: c) 0.370 V
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
Explanation:Oxidation: CuCu2+ + 2 e- Eoox = -(0.340 V) Reduction: Ag+ + e-Ag Eored = 0.799 V Overall cell
reaction is Cu(s) + 2 Ag+(aq) Cu2+ (aq) + 2 Ag(s) E0cell = E0red + E0ox = 0.799 V + (-0.340 V) = 0.459
V Nernst equation, Ecell = E0cell ? (0.0256/n) (Inox/Inred) = 0.459 ?(0.0256/2) * In [0.024 / (0.0048)2] =
0.459 ? 0.0128 * In (1043) = 0.459 ? 0.0128 * 6.95 Ecell = 0.370 V

IICorrect Answer: c) I & III
Explanation:
For an ideal gas, PV = constant, at constant temperature. The internal energy of a given quantity of
an ideal gas at a constant temperature is independent of its volume, thus (U/V)T = 0.
