Solution
A force of 5N act at a point Y on a rod XYZ as shown in the diagram above, if XY is 2m. What is the moment of the force about point X?
Attached Figure / Diagram
A
0Nm
B
3Nm
C
7Nm
D
10Nm
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
X is in the line of action of the force, Therefore moment is equal to zero.
Moment = force x perpendicular distance. ( x is horizontal distance, not perpendicular distance)

Solution
In a reaction: \(SnO_{2} + 2C → Sn + 2CO\) the mass of coke containing 80% carbon required to reduce 0.302 kg of pure tin oxide is?
(Sn - 119, O - 16, C - 12).
A
0.40 kg
B
0.20 kg
C
0.06 kg
D
0.04 kg
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
In the reaction: \(SnO_{2} + 2CO\)
From the equation above
2(12 g) carbon = 151 g \(SnO_{2}\)
24 g carbon =151 g \(SnO_{2}\)
= 0.302 kg \(SnO_{2}\) = 24/151g χ 0.0302 kg carbon = 0.048 kg carbon
Mass of coke is required not mass of carbon,so it is (0.048\(\times\)100)\(\div\)80 = 0.06

Oxidation, Reduction & Redox Reactions
Solution
Cr\(_2\)O\(_7\)\(^{2-}\) + 6Fe\(^{2+}\) + 14H\(^+\) → 2Cr\(^{3+}\) +6Fe\(^{3+}\) + 7H\(_2\)O. In the above , the oxidation number of chromium changed from?
A
+7 to +3
B
+6 to +3
C
+5 to +3
D
-2 to +3
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
The oxidation number of Cr in Cr\(_2\)O\(_7\)\(^{2-}\) is
Cr\(_2\)O\(_7\) = - 2
2Cr + ( - 2) x 7 = - 2
2Cr - 14 = - 2
2Cr = - 2 + 14
2Cr = 12
\(\frac{2Cr}{2}\) = \(\frac{12}{2}\)
Cr = + 6
On the RHS, the oxidation number of Cr is +3.
Thus, the oxidation number changed from +6 to +3 - option B.

Chemical Energetics & Thermochemistry
Solution
Fe\(_2\)O\(_{3(s)}\) + 2Al\(_{(s)}\) → Al\(_2\)O\(_3\) + 2Fe\(_{(s)}\). If the heats of formation of Al\(_2\)O\(_3\) and Fe\(_2\)O\(_3\) are - 1670 kJmol\(^{-1}\) and - 822 kJmol\(^{-1}\) respectively, the enthalpy change in kJ for the reaction is ?
A
+2492
B
+848
C
-848
D
-2492
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
Heat of formation = Heat of products - Heat of reactants
= - 1670 - (- 822)
= - 1670 + 822
= - 848 kJ

Solution
Iron galvanized with zinc is cathodically protected from corrosion. This is because?
A
zinc has a more positive oxidation potential than iron
B
zinc has less positive oxidation potential than iron
C
bith have the same oxidation potential
D
zinc is harder than iron
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
Iron galvanized with zinc is cathodically protected from corrosion because Zinc has a more positive oxidation potential than iron. This means that Zinc will preferentially corrode, acting as a sacrificial anode.
