Solution
The diagram above is the solubility curve of a solute, X. Find the amount of X deposited when 500cm3 of a solution of X is cooled from 60oC to 20oC.
Attached Figure / Diagram
A
0.750 mole
B
0.950 mole
C
2.375 moles
D
4.750 moles
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
From the graph, when you extrapolate when the temperature is @ 60 deg, Solubility = 5.5 mol/dm3
Also, when the temperature is @ 20 deg, Solubility = 4.0 mol/dm3.
Difference in solubility = 5.5 - 4.0 = 1.5 mol/dm3
Recall that, solubility = amount x 1000/ volume of solvent
1.5 = n x 1000/500
n = 1.5/2
n = 0.750 mole - Option A

Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
Zero order - A horizontal line indicates that the reaction rate is independent of the reactant concentration.
The rate equation is: rate = k
First order - A straight line passing through the origin signifies that the reaction rate is directly proportional to the reactant concentration.
The rate equation is: rate = k[X]
Second order - A curved plot indicates that the reaction rate is proportional to the square of the reactant concentration.
The rate equation is: rate = k[X]2

Chlorine atom forms \(Cl^{-}\) by
A
losing one electron
B
Sharing one electron
C
Donating lone pair of electrons
D
Gaining one electron
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
All non-metals will gain electron(s) to become negatively charge unlike metals which lose electron(s) to become positively charged. Chlorine atom is a non-metal in group VII, once it gains an electron to have its outermost shell completely filled with electrons, thus becoming negatively charged. The correct answer is option D
