medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
Charles' law is a special case of the ideal gas law in which the pressure of a gas is constant.
Charles's law defines the direct relationship between temperature and volume.
GIVEN DATA: V\(_1\) = 29.5cm\(^3\), V\(_2\) = ? , T\(_1\) = 0ºc or 273k, T\(_2\) = 15ºc or 288k
\(\frac{V_1}{T_1}\) = \(\frac{V_2}{T_2}\)
V\(_2\) = \(\frac{V_1 x T_2}{T_1}\) → \(\frac{29.5 x 288}{273}\)
V\(_2\) = 31.1cm\(^3\)

Chemical Principles & Mechanism
To make a fixed amount of a dilute solution from a stock solution,
use the formula: C\(_1\)V\(_1\) = C\(_2\)V\(_2\)
where: V\(_1\) = Volume of stock solution needed to make the new solution.
C\(_1\) = Concentration of stock solution.
V\(_2\) = Final volume of new solution.
C\(_2\)= Final concentration of stock solution
2 * 10 = 0.5 * V2
20 = 0.5V2
\(\frac{20}{0.5}\) = V2
V\(_2\)= 40dm\(^3\)
What would be added = V\(_2\) - V\(_1\)
= 40 - 10 = 30dm\(^3\)

Solution
2H\(_2\) + O\(_2\) → 2H\(_2\)O
From the equation above, calculate the volume of unreacted oxygen gas if a mixture of 50cm\(^3\) of hydroden and 75cm\(^3\) of oxygen are involved
A
85cm\(^3\)
B
50cm\(^3\)
C
125cm\(^3\)
D
55cm\(^3\)
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
Since 2 mol H\(_2\) reacted with 1 mol of O\(_2\)
: 50cm\(^3\) of hydrogen reacted with 25cm\(^3\) of oxygen
Remainder oxygen = Supplied amount - Reacted amount → 75cm\(^3\) - 25cm\(^3\)
= 50cm\(^3\)

Reactions Rates and Chemical Equilibria
Solution
N\(_2\)O\(_4\) ⇔ 2NO\(_2\) (Δ = -ve)
From the reaction above, which of these conditions would produce the highest equilibrium yield for N\(_2\)O\(_4\)?
A
Low temperature and high pressure
B
Low temperature and low pressure
C
high temperature and low pressure
D
high temperature and high pressure
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
high temperature and high pressure favor the highest yield for N\(_2\)O\(_4\)
high temperature favours the production of the reactant since it is endothermic, while high pressure favours the side involving a decrease in volume.

medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
The enthalpy change of neutralisation involving weak acids are smaller in magnitude compared to that between strong acids and strong bases. This is because weak acids/bases are partially dissociated, which means not all hydrogen ions are free to react with hydroxide ions.
For strong acids and bases, the enthalpy of neutralisation values are always closely similar with the values -57 and -58 KJ/mol. We know that strong acids completely ionize in water. In case of weak acids, only partial dissociation of its ions occurs.

Hydrogen Hydrides
Solution
In which of the following will hydrogen form ionic compound?
A
HCL
B
NaH
C
NH\(_3\)
D
CH\(_4\)
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
NaH is a saline (salt-like) hydride, composed of Na+ and H− ions.
NaH (sodium hydride) is considered an ionic compound because it is composed of a metal (sodium) and a non-metal (hydrogen), where sodium readily loses an electron to form a positive ion (Na+) and hydrogen gains an electron to form a negative ion (H-) creating an ionic bond between them.

carbon
D
chlorine
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
The oxides which neither react with acids nor react with bases are known as neutral oxides.
Carbon monoxide neither reacts with acids nor reacts with bases.
Thus, carbon monoxide is a neutral oxide, produced when combustion reactions are not fully completed, either through lack of oxygen or due to low mixing

medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
Chlorine is a yellow-green gas at room temperature. Chlorine has a pungent, irritating odor similar to bleach that is detectable at low concentrations.
Exposure to low concentrations of chlorine (1 to 10 ppm) may cause eye and nasal irritation, sore throat, and coughing. Inhalation of higher concentrations of chlorine gas (>15 ppm) can rapidly lead to respiratory distress with airway constriction and accumulation of fluid in the lungs (pulmonary edema).
