Stoichiometry, Mole Concept & Volumetric Analysis
Solution
To what temperature must a gas at 273k be heated in order to double both its volume and pressure?
A
298K
B
546K
C
819K
D
1092K
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
Given:
T\(_1\) = 273K ; V\(_1\) = X ; P\(_1\) = Y
T\(_2\) = ? ; V\(_2\) = 2X P\(_2\) = 2Y ( Remember we were told the volume and pressure were doubled )
We also represented V\(_1\) and P\(_1\) to be X and Y respective,y since we were not given.
Using the formula: \(\frac{{P_1}{V_1}}{T_1}\) = \(\frac{{P_2}{V_2}}{T_2}\)
T\(_2\) = \(\frac{{P_2}{V_2}{T_1}}{{P_1}{V_1}}\)
= \(\frac{{2Y}\times{2X}\times{273}}{{Y}\times{X}}\)
= 2 x 2 x 273
= 1092 K

Periodic Table & Periodicity
Solution
Which of the following statements is correct about the periodic table?
A
Elements in the same period have the same number of valence electrons
B
The valence electrons of the elements in the same period increase progressively across the period
C
Elements in the same group have the same number of electron shells
D
The non-metallic Properties of the elements tend to decrease across each period
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
The valence electrons refer to the number of electrons in the outer shell. Across a period (horizontal row), the valence electron increases.

Stoichiometry, Mole Concept & Volumetric Analysis
Solution
If 1 litre of 2.2M sulphuric acid is poured into a bucket containing 10 litres of water and the resulting solution mixed thoroughly, the resulting sulphuric acid concentration will be
A
2.2M
B
1.1M
C
0.2M
D
0.11M
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
Given:
C1 = 2.2 M , V1 = 1 Litre , C2 = ? V2 = 1 + 10 Litres ( because the volume of water has increased) = 11 Litres
Using the relationship C1V1 = C2V2
2.2 X 1 = C2 X 11
C2 = 2.2 /11
= 0.20 M - Option C

In the shown experiment (Fig. 1) the litmus paper will initially
Attached Figure / Diagram
A
be bleached
B
turn green
C
turn red
D
turn blue
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
\(NH_4Cl → NH_3 + HCl\). rate of diffusion of substances depends too on their molar mass, the smaller the molar mass of a substance the faster the rate of diffusion of that substance. so the litmus paper initially turns blue because ammonia will get to it first since it diffuses faster than HCl.

Solution
Methanoic acid mixes with water in all proportions and has about the same boiling point as water. Which of the following methods would you adopt to obtain pure water from a mixture of Sand, water and methanoic acid?
A
Extractive distillation
B
Filtration followed by distillation
C
Neutralization with sodium hydroxide followed by distillation
D
Neutralization with sodium hydroxide followed by filtration
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
Due to the presence of maximum Azeotrope,we use extractive distilination (with extractive distilation agents like sulfone) used for mixtures with low relative volatility,nearing unity.
Azeotrope is a mixture of liquids that has a constant boiling point because the vapour has thesame composition as the mixture.
