Solution
Stoichiometry is based on the law?
A
multiple proportion
B
constant composition
C
conservation of energy
D

medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
The principles of stoichiometry are based upon the law of conservation of mass. Matter can neither be created nor destroyed, so the mass of every element present in the product(s) of a chemical reaction must be equal to the mass of each and every element present in the reactant(s).

which of the following pairs of substances has the highest heat of neutralization?
A
strong acid and strong base
B
weak acid and weak base
C
strong acid and weak base
D

Solution
When quicklime dissolves in water?
A
heat is absorbed
B
heat is evolved
C
oxygen is liberated
D
hydrogen is given off
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
- When quicklime is added to water, it forms slaked lime along with the evolution of heat. There will be a rise in the temperature of the bucket. Calcium oxide reacts with water to form calcium hydroxide, also called slaked lime.
- That is adding water to quicklime produces an exothermic reaction (gives out heat) and hydrated lime.

Solution
If the value of \DeltaH is positive for a reaction, it means that the reaction is?
A
exothermic
B
endothermic
C
spontaneous
D
slow
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
- Endothermic reactions are chemical reactions in which the reactants absorb heat energy from the surroundings to form products.

- examples of endothermic processes:
Melting ice cubes.
Melting solid salts.
Sublimation of dry ice into carbon dioxide gas.
Evaporating liquid water.
