Solution
When a salt loses its water of crystallization to the atmosphere on exposure, the process is said to be
A
Efflorescence
B
Deliquescence
C
Effervescence
D
Fluorescence
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
A salt that contains water of crystallization is called a hydrated salt. The water molecules attached to the salt are called water of crystallization. When a hydrated salt is exposed to air, it can lose its water of crystallization through evaporation. This process is called efflorescence.

Solution
25cm\(^3\) of a 0.2 mol dm\(^3\) solution of Na\(_2\)CO\(_3\) requires 20 cm\(^3\) of a solution of HCl for neutralization. The concentration of the HCl solution is
A
0.5 mol dm3
B
0.6 mol dm3
C
0.2 mol dm3
D
0.4 mol dm3
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
First, write a balanced chemical equation or the reaction:
Na\(_2\)CO\(_3\) + 2HCl → 2NaCl + H\(_2\)O + CO\(_2\)
From the balanced equation, we can deduce that N\(_A\) = 2 , N\(_B\) = 1
We were also given from the question, C\(_A\) = ? C\(_B\) = 0.2 mol/dm\(^3\) V\(_A\) = 20cm\(^3\) V\(_B\) = 25 cm\(^3\)
Using the relationship, \(\frac{C_A V_A}{C_B V_B}\) = \(\frac{N_A}{N_B}\)
C\(_A\) = \(\frac{C_B V_B N_A}{V_A N_B}\)
C\(_A\) = \(\frac{0.2 X 25 X 2}{20 X 1}\) = 0.5 mol/dm\(^3\)

Solution
The property which makes alcohol soluble in water is the
A
boiling point
B
hydrogen bonding
C
ionic character
D
covalent nature
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
The property that makes alcohol soluble in water is hydrogen bonding, which occurs between the hydroxyl group in alcohol and water molecules. The hydroxyl group in alcohol is hydrophilic, meaning it's "water-loving". This group forms hydrogen bonds with water molecules, which makes alcohol soluble in water.

Solution
The gas that gives brown colouration in brown ring test is
A
NO
B
CO2
C
NO2
D
CO
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
In the brown ring test, nitric oxide (NO) is produced when acidified iron (II) sulphate reacts with dilute nitric acid. The nitric oxide then reacts with iron (II) to form a complex ion, which creates a brown ring at the junction of the two liquids.

Solution
An example of element that can catenate is
A
bromine
B
nitrogen
C
chlorine
D
carbon
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
Catenation is the ability of an atom to form chains and rings by sharing electrons with other atoms of the same element. Carbon has a high tendency to catenate because of the strength of its C–C bonds. Carbon's least diffuse valence shell p orbital allows it to form longer p-p sigma bonded chains of atoms than heavier elements.

Organic Chemistry I: Hydrocarbons & Crude Oil
Solution
The reaction of an alkene with hydrogen in the presence of catalyst is
A
a substitution reaction
B
an oxidation reaction
C
a nucleophilic reaction
D
an addition reaction
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
When an alkene reacts with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst, the reaction is called hydrogenation.
Hydrogenation is an addition reaction that occurs when hydrogen gas is added to an alkene's double bond in the presence of a metal catalyst. The reaction results in the formation of an alkane, which is a saturated compound.
The reaction is also known as catalytic hydrogenation because a catalyst is required for it to occur. The catalyst lowers the activation energy of the reactants, which increases the reaction rate.

Which of these pairs are synthetic and natural macromolecules respectively?
A
Haemoglobin and nylon, creatine and polyethylene
B
Nylon and polyethlene, creatine and Haemoglobin
C
Nylon and creatine, polyethylene and haemoglobin
D
Creatine and Polyethylene, nylon and haemoglobin
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
A macromolecule is a very large molecule, usually with a diameter of 100 to 10,000 angstroms (10−5 to 10−3 mm).
Nylon is a synthetic macromolecule that's made up of repeating subunits called monomers. It's created through a condensation polymerization reaction between adipic acid and hexamethylene diamine.
Polyethylene is a synthetic polymer, which means it's made by scientists and engineers from petroleum oil.
Creatine is a non-protein compound that is derived from amino acids, and is produced in the body by the liver, kidneys, and pancreas. It is also found in protein-rich foods like meat, fish, and milk.
Hemoglobin is a natural organic(natural) macromolecule.
