Q:

Match List -I with List -II and select the correct answer using the code given below the Lists :

            List -I                               List-II

(Compound/Molecule)         (Shape of Molecule)

A. CH3F                            1. Trigonal planar

B. HCHO                           2. Tetrahedral

C. HCN                             3. Trigonal pyramidal

D. NH3                             4. Linear

A) 2 4 1 3 B) 2 1 4 3
C) 3 4 1 2 D) 3 1 4 2
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 2 1 4 3

Explanation:

HCHO: The carbon and and the oxygen are bonded through a double bond which counts as "one electron pair". Hence the molecule has three electron pairs and is trigonal planar.

Q:

In case of a standard hydrogen electrode

A) absolute electrode potential is not zero B) absolute electrode potential is zero
C) both absolute and standard electrode potential values are zero D) electrode potential is zero only at 25 deg C
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) absolute electrode potential is not zero

Explanation:

The Standard hydrogen electrode (abbreviated SHE), is a redox electrode which forms the basis of the thermodynamic scale of oxidation-reduction potentials. Its absolute electrode potential is estimated to be 4.44 ± 0.02 V at 25 °C, but to form a basis for comparison with all other electrode reactions, hydrogen's standard electrode potential (E0) is declared to be zero volts only at 298.

Q:

Which one of the following elements does not form solid hydrogen carbonate?

A) Sodium B) Potassium
C) Caesium D) Lithium
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Lithium

Explanation:

Potassium bicarbonate (also known as potassium hydrogen carbonate or potassium acid carbonate) is the inorganic compound with the chemical formula KHCO3. It is a white solid

Sodium bicarbonate is a white solid that is crystalline, but often appears as a fine powder.

LiHCO3 is found in solution form while rest alkali metals hydrogen carbonates are solid due to the anomalous properties of Li and its diagonal relationship with the Mg.

Q:

In paper manufacturing, degumming of the raw material is done using

A) sulphuric acid B) bleaching powder
C) caustic soda D) nitric acid
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) caustic soda

Explanation:

Paper production is basically a two-step process in which a fibrous raw material is first converted into pulp, and then the pulp is converted into paper. The harvestedwood is first processed so that the fibres are separated from the unusable fraction of the wood, the lignin. Pulp making can be done mechanically or chemically. In the chemical pulping process, alkali (e.g., sodium hydroxide in the form of a lye or caustic soda) is usually used to remove the lignin that binds the fibres. So, for degumming of raw material, caustic soda is used.

Q:

Which one of the followingis notan allotrope of carbon?

A) Coal B) Diamond
C) Graphite D) Graphene
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Coal

Explanation:

Allotropy is the property of some chemical elements to exist in two or more different forms, or allotropes, when found in nature. There are several allotropes of carbon like diamond, graphite, graphene, fullerene, etc.Coal is not an allotrope of carbon because it is not 100% carbon. It contains lot of silica, sulphur and other compounds of carbon apart from carbon.
