Q:

Which pair of atoms has the highest electronegativity difference?

 

(Calcium's electronegativity is 1.0

Fluorine's electronegativity is 4.0

Hydrogen's electronegativity is 2.2

Sodium's electronegativity is 0.93)

A) F-F B) Ca-F
C) H-F D) Na-F
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Na-F

Explanation:

F-F = 4 - 4 = 0

Ca-F = 4 - 1 = 3.0

H-F = 4 - 2.2 = 1.8

Na-F = 4 - 0.93 = 3.07

 

Hence, the highest electronegativity difference is in Na-F.

Q:

Mg+O2=MgO

Balance the above Chemical equation?

A) 2Mg + O2 ----> 2MgO B) 2Mg + O ----> 2MgO
C) 2Mg + O ----> MgO2 D) 2Mg + O2 ----> MgO2
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 2Mg + O2 ----> 2MgO

Explanation:

Given Equation is 

Mg + O2  MgO

Balancing the Chemical Equation is nothing but Conservation of Matter. As Matter is Neither created nor Destroyed, it must be conserved.

Here we have 1 Mg and 2 O on the left side and 1 Mg and 1 O on the right side

To balance that, add 1 Mg on the left side so that it becomes 2 Mg and 2 O on the left side

i.e,

2 Mg + O2  2 MgO

Here it has 2 Mg & 2 O on the left side and 2 Mg and 2 O on the right side and the Chemical equation is Balanced.

Q:

which of the following are chemical changes?

A) Cooking of Food

B) Digestion of Food

C) Freezing of water

D) Water is heated up

A) A & B B) A, B & C
C) C & D D) All the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) A & B

Explanation:

A) Cooking of Food  ------ Chemical Change

B) Digestion of Food ----- Chemical Change

C) Freezing of water ----- Physical Change

D) Water is heated up ---- Physical Change

because here the chemical composition of the substance changes in A & B only.

 

Since we know that, If the chemical composition is changing then it is a chemical change and if the chemical composition is remaining the same, then it is a physical change.

Q:

Which compound matches the IR Spectrum?

 

spectr1525848245.jpg image

A) 1, 5 – hexadiene B) 3 – Hexanol
C) Trans – 4 – octene D) None of the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 1, 5 – hexadiene

Explanation:

3 – Hexanol:


image

There is no alcohol stretch present in the spectrum. Therefore, the above structure is not suitable for the given spectrum.

 

Trans – 4 – octene:


image

There is no vinyl bending present in the spectrum. Therefore, the above structure is not suitable for the given spectrum.


1, 5 – hexadiene:


image

The vinyl bending and other stretches were matched with the above structure.

 

 

Hence, the c = c stretch, vinyl bending and image stretch were matched with the above structure.

Therefore, the given spectrum belongs to 1, 5 – hexadiene.

Q:

SI unit of equivalent conductance

A) ohm/cm B) Siemens m2/equivalent
C) Siemens/equivalent D) mho/cm
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Siemens m2/equivalent

Explanation:

SI_unit_of_equivalent_conductance1556274980.jpg image

 

Equivalent conductance is defined as the conductance of an electrolyte solution containing one gram equivalent of the electrolyte. It is equal to the product of specific conductance (k) of the solution and the volume (V) of the solution that contains one gram equivalent of the electrolyte.

 

 λ = k x V

 

Unit of spceific conductance k is Siemens / m.

 

Volume of the solution V is m3

 

Now, required equivalent conductance unit is Siemens.m2/equivalent .

Q:

Place these hydrocarbons in order of decreasing boiling point.

1. Paraffin

2. Octadecane

3. Hexane

4. Neohexane and

5. Ethane

A) Paraffin > Octadecane > Neohexane > Hexane > Ethane B) Paraffin > Octadecane > Hexane > Neohexane > Ethane
C) Hexane > Paraffin > Octadecane > Neohexane > Ethane D) None of the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Paraffin > Octadecane > Hexane > Neohexane > Ethane

Explanation:

In hydrocarbon, the boiling point directly varies with the length of carbon chain. On increasing the number of carbon atom, the boiling point of the compound also increases. Paraffin contains highest number of carbon atoms whereas, ethane is comprised of two carbon atoms.

 

The decreasing order of boiling point of mention compounds is written as follows:

Paraffin > Octadecane > Hexane > Neohexane > Ethane
