The sub-atomic particles located in the nucleus of an atom are?
- A. neutron and proton
- B. proton and electron
- C. proton and ions
- D. neutron and electron
Correct Option: Answer is A
The nucleus contains two types of subatomic particles, protons and neutrons.
The protons have a positive electrical charge, and the neutrons have no electrical charge.
The third type of subatomic particle, electrons, move around the nucleus.
2.
The IUPAC nomenclature of the structure is?
- A. 3-chloro-3-methylbutane
- B. 2,2,-dichloro-3-methylbutane
- C. 3-methylchlorobutane
- D. 2-chloro-2-methylbutane
Correct Option: Answer is D
Straight-chain hydrocarbon molecules that contain only singly-bonded carbons are called alkanes.
When naming these molecules, the final syllable in their name is “are.”
- Find and name the longest continuous carbon chain.
- Identify and name groups attached to this chain.
- Number the chain consecutively, starting at the end nearest a substituent group.
- Designate the location of each substituent group by an appropriate number and name.
3. SO2 + O2 → 2SO3
In the reaction above, the most suitable catalyst is?
- A. chromium(vi)oxide
- B. iron(iii)oxide
- C. copper(i)oxide
- D. vanadium(v)oxide
Correct Option: Answer is D
During the Contact Process for manufacturing sulfuric acid, sulfur dioxide has to be converted into sulfur trioxide, which is done by passing sulfur dioxide and oxygen over a solid vanadium(V) oxide catalyst.
4. In the preparation of salts, the method employed will depend on the?
- A. composition
- B. dissociating ability
- C. stability to heat
- D. precipitating ability
Correct Option: Answer is C
5. The following non-metal form acidic oxides with oxygen except?
- A. phosphorus
- B. sulphur
- C. carbon
- D. chlorine
Correct Option: Answer is C
The oxides which neither react with acids nor react with bases are known as neutral oxides.
Carbon monoxide neither reacts with acids nor reacts with bases.
Thus, carbon monoxide is a neutral oxide, produced when combustion reactions are not fully completed, either through lack of oxygen or due to low mixing
6. How many neutrons are present in atom with mass number and atomic number 37 and 17 respectively?
- A. 18
- B. 20
- C. 37
- D. 17
Correct Option: Answer is B
The mass number = number of neutrons + atomic number.
number of neutrons = The mass number – atomic number.
number of neutrons = 37 – 17 = 20
7. The sulphide that is commonly used in coating electric fluorescent tubes is?
- A. iron(ii)Sulphide
- B. tin(ii)sulphide
- C. Zinc Sulphide
- D. lead(iv) Sulphide
Correct Option: Answer is C
ZnS (Zinc Sulfide) screen was used because it emits a flash of light when struck by an alpha particle.
This is a phenomenon called Radio luminescence in which a flash of light is observed on the screen when acted upon by a radioactive substance.
8. An organic compound which liberate carbon(iv)oxide from trioxocarbonate(iv) solution is likely to be?
- A. C2H5OH
- B. C3H4
- C. C6H6
- D. CH3COOH
Correct Option: Answer is D
Carboxylic acids and enols react with sodium bicarbonate to liberate carbon dioxide.
9. Addition of sodium chloride to water to form a solution would lead to?
- A. increase in freezing point and increase the boiling point
- B. increase in freezing point and decrease the boiling point
- C. decrease in freezing point and decrease the boiling point
- D. decrease in freezing point and increase the boiling point
Correct Option: Answer is D
If you add salt to water, you lower its freezing point as well as raise its boiling point.
10. A chemical widely used as a fertilizer is?
- A. galena
- B. bauxite
- C. emerald
- D. nitrochalk
Correct Option: Answer is B
Bauxite ore can help you add all of these essential nutrients to your soil.
11. On the basis of the electrochemical series, which of these ions will show the greater tendency to be discharged at the cathode in an electrolytic cell
- A. cu2+
- B. sn2+
- C. fe2+
- D. zn2+
Correct Option: Answer is A
The arrangement of elements in order of increasing electrode potential values is called electrochemical series.
K > Na > Ca > Mg > Al > Zn > Fe > Ni > Sn > Pb > H > Cu > Ag > Au.
12. Addition of charcoal to the filter bed of sand during water treatment for township supply is to?
- A. prevent goiter
- B. prevent tooth decay
- C. remove odour
- D. kill germs
Correct Option: Answer is C
