What is the pH of 0.001 mol dm-3 solution of sodium hydroxide
A
14
B
13
C
12
D
11
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
\([H^+] [OH^-] = 10^{-14}\)
\([H^+] = 10^{-14}/[OH^-] = 10^{-14}/(1 * 10^{-3}) = 10^{-11}\)
pH = -Log10[H+]
= - Log10[10-11] = - 1 * -11 Log10[10-11] = 1 = -1 * -11 * 1 = 11

Solution
If a given quantity of electricity liberates 0.65g of Zn2+, what amount of Hg2+ would be liberated by the same quantity of current?
[Zn = 65, Hg = 201]
A
1.00g
B
2.01g
C
4.02g
D
8.04g
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
At the cathode, we have:
\(Zn^{2+} + 2e^- → Zn_{(s)}\)
Normally, we need
2F → 65g
x → 0.65
x = 0.02F
Let us check how much mercury will be deposited by 0.02F of electricity
\(Hg^{2+} + 2e^-(aq) → Hg_{(s)}\)
2F → 201g
∴ 0.02F = x
x = 2.01g

Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
Water Gas is a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen produced from synthesis gas.\(H_2O + C --> H_2 + CO\) (H=+131KJ/mol)
An Endothermic process is any process which requires or absorbs thermal energy from its surroundings, usually in the form of heat.in Endothermic reaction ∆H is positive.
Therefore it is Endothermic

The substance that is used in the steel industry for the removal of carbon, sulphur and phosphorus impurities from pig iron is
A
oxygen
B
chlorine
C
nitrogen
D
hydrogen
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
The substance used in the steel industry for the removal of carbon, sulphur, and phosphorus impurities from pig iron is oxygen. This process is called "oxidation" and it occurs when oxygen reacts with the impurities in the pig iron, which then form oxides that can be easily removed.
