Oxidation, Reduction & Redox Reactions
Solution
\(MnO_2 + 2CI^- + 4H^+ → Mn^{2+} + CI_2 + 2H_2O\).
The changes in oxidation numbers when the manganese, chloride, and hydrogen ions react according to the above equation are respectively?
A
2, 2, 4
B
-1, -2, 4
C
-2, 1, 0
D
2, 4, 0
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
\(MnO_2 + 2CI^- + 4H^+ → Mn^{2+} + CI_2 + 2H_2O\). i.e \(Mn^+ O^{2-} + 2Cl^- + 4H^+\) → \(Mn^{2+} + Cl^0_2 + 2H^+ O^{2-}\)
Mn⇒2 - 4 = -2; Cl ⇒ 0 - 1 = -1; H ⇒ 1-1 = 0.
therefore, the change in the oxidation state of Mn, Cl, and H = -2, -1, and 0.

In which of the following is the entropy change positive?
A
H2O(I) → H2O(g)
B
Cu2+(aq) + Fe(s) → Fe2+(aq) + Cu(s)
C
N2(g) + 3H2(g) → 2NH3(g)
D
2HCI(g) → H2(g) + CI2(g)
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
Entropy is the measure of the degree of disorderliness or randomness in a system. It will, however, decrease from gaseous to liquid and to solid states and vice versa.
This implies for option A, as you move from reactants(liquid H\(_2\)O) to products(gaseous H\(_2\)O), entropy increases because the level of disorderliness increases. (Just liken it to liquid water that needs to be boiled). Hence \DeltaS = + ve.

Reaction Rates & Chemical Equilibrium
Solution
In what way is equilibrium constant for the forward reaction related to that of the reversed reaction?
A
The additional of the two is expected to be one
B
The product of the two is expected to be one
C
The two equilibrium constants are identical
D
The product of the two is always greater than one
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
The equilibrium constant for a forward reaction is equal to the reciprocal of the equilibrium constant for the reversed reaction. therefore, the Kc for the forward reaction is related to the Kc for the reversed reaction. when the product of both (Kc)s is equal to one.

Stoichiometry, Mole Concept & Volumetric Analysis
Solution
Which of the following equilibria shows little or no net reaction when the volume of the system is decreased?
A
H2(g) + I2(g) ≈ 2HI(g)
B
2NO2(g) ≈ N2O4(g)+O4(g)N2O4(g)
C
PCI5(g) ≈ PCI3(g) + CI2(g)
D
ZnO(s) + CO2(g) ≈ ZnCO3(g)
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
Simply calculate the number of moles on both reactants side and products side, for each of the options. The one that has equal number of moles on both sides, shows little or no reaction when volume is decreased. That is according to Le chatelier's principle.
Based on the above, option A is the correct answer, with 2 moles each on both sides.

Solution
Which of these statements is TRUE about carbon (IV) oxide?
A
it supports combustion
B
It is strongly acidic in water
C
It is very soluble in water
D
It supports the buring of magnesium to produce magnesium oxide
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
Carbon(iv)oxide does not burn, nor support the combustion of most substance .
The intense heat produced by burning magnesium,
However, decomposes Carbon(iv)oxide to release oxygen for the further oxidation of magnesium.
Carbon(iv)oxide dissolves in water to form trioxocarbonate(iv) acid ( soda water).

Solution
Sodium hydroxide solution can be conveniently stored in a container made of?
A
lead
B
zinc
C
aluminium
D
copper
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is a strong base that reacts with several common metals, making them unsuitable for storage. Copper is the correct choice because it does not react with sodium hydroxide under normal conditions.
Copper is a non-amphoteric metal and is relatively low in the electrochemical series, meaning it does not displace hydrogen from the base or form soluble complexes with the hydroxide ion.
