Solution
Which of the following equations show that a reaction is in equilibrium?
A
ΔG < O
B
ΔG = ΔH – TΔS
C
ΔG > O
D

Stoichiometry, Mole Concept & Volumetric Analysis
Solution
PCl5(g) ↔ PCl3(g) + Cl2(g)
In the reaction above, a decrease in pressure will
A
Decelerate the reaction
B
Increase the yield of PCl3
C
Increase the yield of PCl5
D
Accelerate the reaction
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
First, calculate the total number of number of moles of gaseous species only, on both sides.
i.e 1 mole on the LHS while 2 moles on RHS.
An increase in pressure will favour the side with the lesser value of the total number of moles while a decrease in pressure will favour the side with the higher number of moles i.e the RHS. Hence,increasing the yield of PCl\(_3\).

Oxidation, Reduction & Redox Reactions
Solution
Cu\(_2\)S(s) + O\(_2\)(g) → 2CU(s) + SO\(_2\)(g)
What is the change in the oxidation number of copper in the reaction above?
A
+1 to 0
B
0 to +2
C
+2 to +1
D
0 to +1
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
Sulphur atom in Cu\(_2\)S is - 2. Thus, Cu\(_2\)S = 0
2Cu + S = 0
2Cu + (-2) = 0
2Cu = 2
\(\frac{2Cu}{2}\) = \(\frac{2}{2}\)
Cu = +1
On the RHS, Cu atom has an oxidation state of 0. Therefore, there is a change in oxidation number of Copper from +1 to 0

Electrolysis & Electrochemical Cells
Solution
The product of the electrolysis of dilute sodium hydroxide using platinum electrodes are
A
Hydrogen and oxygen gases
B
Water and hydrogen gas
C
Water and sodium metal
D
Sodium metal and oxygen gas
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
The products of the electrolysis of dilute sodium hydroxide using platinum electrodes are hydrogen H\(_2\) at the cathode and oxygen (O\(_2\) at the anode.
This is because the reduction and oxidation of water occurs to produce hydrogen at the cathode and oxygen at the anode.

Water, Solutions & Solubility
Solution
The solubility of a salt of molar mass 101g at 20oC is 0.34 mol dm-3. If 3.40g of the salt is dissolved completely in 250cm3 of water in a beaker, the resulting solution is
A
A suspension
B
Saturated
C
Unsaturated
D
Supersaturated
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
At 20oC
0.34 mol/dm of the salt dissolve
= 0.34 * 101 = 34.34gm
Of the salt dissolved.
∴ 34.34gm dissolve is 1,000cm3
If only 250 cm3 is the required mass
X = (250/1000) * 34.34
= 8.555gm
If only 3.40gm of the salt dissolved ,the solution is unsaturated

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.

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.

The gas that gives brown colouration in brown ring test is
A
NO
B
CO2
C

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.
