medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
PH = - Log[ H+ ]
PH + POH =14
POH = 14 - 3.8
POH = 10.2
POH = - Log[ OH- ]
10.2 = - Log[ OH- ]
10-10.2 = [ OH- ]
[ OH- ] = 6.3 x 10-11

A
0.05
B
10.80
C
10.00
D
0.10
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
m = \(\frac{Mm \times Q}{96500n
}\)
where Q = IT
M = Mm × \(\frac{Q}{96500n}\)
where m = mass
Mm = Molar mass
Q = Quantity of electricity
n = number of change= +1
\(\frac{M}{Mm}\) = mole = \(\frac{mass}{Molarmass}\)
\(\frac{M}{Mm}\) = \(\frac{Q}{96500n}\)
= \(\frac{9650}{96500n}\) × 1
= \(\frac{1}{10}\) = 0.1mol

Organic Chemistry II: Functional Groups, Polymers & Biomolecules
Solution
The enzyme used in the hydrolysis of starch to dextrin and maltose is?
A
lipase
B
amylase
C
invertase
D
zymase
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
Starch is hydrolyzed by dilute acids to yield a mixture of dextrin (a shorter chain intermediate product), disaccharides (mainly maltose) and glucose. Further hydrolysis will eventually give glucose. Hydrolysis of starch to dextrin and maltose can also be brought about by the enzyme amylase present in saliva and in malt.

Kinetic Theory of Matter & Gas Laws
Solution
The densities of two gases, X and Y are 0.5gdm-3 and 2.0gdm-3 respectively. What is the rate of diffusion of X relative to Y?
A
0.1
B
0.5
C
2.0
D
4.0
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
The rate of dimension of a gas inversely proportional to the square root of its molecular mass or its density, which is Graham's Law of diffusion of gas.
R ∝ \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{Mm}}\) or R ∝ \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{D}}\)
Dx = 0.5gdm-3, Dy = 2gdm-3
R= \(\frac{K}{\sqrt{D}}\)
R\(\sqrt{D}\) = k
R1\(\sqrt{D_1}\) = R1\(\sqrt{D_2}\)
Rx\(\sqrt{D_x}\) = Ry\(\sqrt{D_y}\)
\(\frac{R_x}{R_y}\) = \(\frac{\sqrt{D_y}}{\sqrt{D_x}}\)
= \(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{0.5}}\)
= 2.0

Solution
An oxide XO2 has a vapour density of 32. What is the atomic mass of X?
A
20
B
32
C
14
D
12
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
Molecular mass = vapour density X2
Mm of XO2 = x + 16(2) = x + 32
vapour density = 32
∴ x + 32 = 32 × 2
x + 32 = 64
x = 64 - 32
x = 32
∴ the relative molecular mass of X is 32
Relative molecular mass = vapour density × 2

Stoichiometry, Mole Concept & Volumetric Analysis
Solution
In the laboratory preparation of trioxonitrate (V) acid the nitrogen(iv) oxide formed as a by-product is removed by
A
further heating
B
adding concentrated H2SO4
C
cooling the acid solution with cold water
D
bubbling air through the acid solution
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
Bubbling of air through the acid solution removes deposited oxides of nitrogen.
Nitric acid is prepared in the laboratory by heating a nitrate salt with the concentrated acid.
NaNO3 + H2SO4 → NaHSO4 + HNO3
Vapours of nitric acid are condensed to a brown liquid in a receiver cooled under cold water. "Dissolved oxides of nitrogen" e.g NO2 are removed by redistillation or blowing a current of carbondioxide or dry air through the warm acid
