Q:

Boron cannot form which one of the following anions?

(1) BO2-

(2) BF63-

(3) BH4-

(4) B(OH)4-

A) Option 1 B) Option 2
C) Option 3 D) Option 4

Answer:   B) Option 2



Explanation:

Due to absence of low lying vacant d orbital in B, sp3d2hybridization is not possible hence BF63-will not formed.

Q:

Which of the following is a regenerated fibre?

A) Terylene B) Rayon
C) Nylon D) Silk
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Rayon

Explanation:

Terylene and nylon are synthetic fibres produced by a process of polymerisation. Terylene is a polyester and nylon, a poyamide.

Silk is purely a natural product obtained from silk worms.

Rayon is a man-made material which consists of purified cellulose in the form of long fibres. Cellulose occurs in the cell wall of plants. Rayon fibre is chemically identical to cotton but has a shine like silk. Since it is  basically derived from a natural source (cellulose) it is called a regenerated fibre.

Q:

If people sleep in closed rooms where charcoal fire is burning , they die due to 

A) carbon monoxide B) carbon dioxide
C) methane D) phosgene
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) carbon monoxide

Explanation:

A closed room is aplace where charcoal is burnt in limited supply of air. There is every chance for the formation of the deadly poisonous carbon monoxide, which when inhaled, reacts with the iron in haemoglobin of blood and prevents the supply of oxygen. It is said to be treacherous as there can be no previous warning of its presence because it is an odourless and colourless gas.

Q:

One method by which the components of air can be seperated is 

A) shaking with caustic soda solution B) shaking with water
C) fractional distillation of liquid air D) passing air over heated magnesium
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) fractional distillation of liquid air

Explanation:

The two main components of air are nitrogen and oxygen. They are seperated by the fractional distillation of liquid air. Liquefied air contains liquid nitrogen and liquid oxygen. Liquid nitrogen with the lower boiling point more readily evaporates than the less volatile liquid oxygen.

Q:

A mixture of ethyl alcohol  and water can be seperated  by 

A) evaporation B) sublimation
C) using a seperating funnel D) fractional distillation
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) fractional distillation

Explanation:

Fractional distillation is the process of seperation of a mixture of two or more liquids into the different fractions, which differ fairly widely in their boiling points. The liquid with a lower boiling point will be vaporized first and hence would be the distillate (first fraction). Eg. Ethyl alcohol has a boiling point of 78.10C and water 1000C. When a mixture of these two liquids is heated, alcohol vaporizes first and is collected separately as the distillate.
