Q:

Which reaction occurs spontaneously?

A) Cl2(g) + 2NaF(aq)--> F2(g) + 2NaCl(aq)	B) I2(s) + 2NaF(aq)--> F2(g) + 2NaI(aq)
C) Cl2(g) + 2NaBr(aq)-->Br2(l) + 2NaCl(aq)	D) I2(s) + 2NaBr(aq)--> Br2(l) + 2NaI(aq)

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Cl2(g) + 2NaBr(aq)-->Br2(l) + 2NaCl(aq)

Explanation:

In this chemical reaction chlorine change oxidation number from 0 to -1 (reduction) and bromine change oxidation number from -1 to 0 (oxidation).

Chlorine is stronger oxidation reagent than bromine.

In VIIA or group 17 (halogen elements) there are six elements: fluorine (F), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br), iodine (I), astatine (At) and tennessin(Ts).

They have high electronegativity because they have seven valence electrons in their outermost energy level, so they can gain an electron to have the octet rule.

Going down in the group, element are weaker oxidazing reagent and less reactive.

Q:

Chloroform used as anaesthetic should be preserved in the dark in tightly stoppered bottles because otherwise

A) it becomes coloured	B) it gets evaporated in air
C) it gets oxidised to phosgene	D) it gets decomposed to chloropicrin

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) it gets oxidised to phosgene

Explanation:

Chloroform, $C H C l_{3}$ is easily oxidised to the highly poisonous gas known as phosgene or carbonyl chloride COCl2. Hence if it is used as anaesthetic it should be kept free from sunlight and air.

Q:

Two candidates fought in a municipality election. One of them got 54% of the total votes pooled and won by 1080 votes. What was the total number of votes polled ?

A) 12000	B) 13500
C) 15400	D) 11000

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 13500

Explanation:

Given in municipality election 54% votes have won by 1080

Let the total number of votes be x.

$\frac{54 x}{100} - \frac{46 x}{100} = 1080$

8x = 108000

x = 13,500

Therefore, total number of votes = 13,500.

Q:

If watches bought at prices ranging from Rs. 200 to Rs. 350 are sold at prices ranging from Rs. 300 to Rs. 425. What is the greatest possible profit that might be made in selling nine watches ?

A) Rs. 1800	B) Rs. 2000
C) Rs. 2025	D) Rs. 1750

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Rs. 2025

Explanation:

Profit would be maximum if watches are brought for Rs. 200 and sold for Rs. 425
Profit = Rs. (425 - 200) = Rs. 225
Profit of 9 watches = Rs. 225 x 9 = Rs.2,025.

Q:

How many squares with sides 1/2 inch long are needed to cover a rectangle that is 4 ft long and 4 ft wide ?

A) 9216	B) 10246
C) 12345	D) 7527

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 9216

Explanation:

It takes four of those little squares -- each one 1/2 inch on a side -- to cover one square inch. That's because each one is 1/2 x 1/2, or 1/4 of a square inch.
In a rectangle that is 48 inches by 48 inches, there are 2304 square inches.(1 ft = 12 inches)
Since it takes 4 little squares to cover 1 sq inch, then it would need 2304 x 4 squares (1/2 inch on a side each) to cover a rectangle 4 feet by 4 feet.

That is 9,216 of those squares.

Q:

Tanks A and B are each in the shape of a right circular cylinder. The interior of tank A has a height of 10 meters and a circumference of 8 meters, and the interior of tank B has a height of 8 meters and a circumference of 10 meters. The capacity of tank A is what percent of the capacity of tank B ?

A) 76%	B) 72%
C) 80%	D) 82%

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 80%

Explanation:

circumference of A = $2 πr$ = 8 => so r = $\frac{4}{π}$
volume = $π \times {(\frac{4}{π})}^{2} \times 10$ = $\frac{160}{π}$
circumference of B = $2 πr$ = 10 => so r = $\frac{5}{π}$
volume = $π \times {(\frac{5}{π})}^{2} \times 8$ = $\frac{200}{π}$
so ratio of capacities = 160/200 = 0.8
so capacity of A will be 80% of the capacity of B.

Q:

The difference of two numbers is 1365. On dividing the larger number by the smaller, we get 6 as quotient and 15 as remainder. What is the smaller number ?

A) 270	B) 1270
C) 350	D) 720

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 270

Explanation:

Let the smallest number be x.
Then larger number = (x + 1365)
x + 1365 = 6x + 15
= 5x = 1350
x = 270
Smaller number = 270.
