61.

Metals can be stretched into wires because they are

A.

Ductile

B.

Good conductors

C.

Lustrous

D.

Malleable

Correct answer is A

No explanation has been provided for this answer.

62.

The mass of potassium hydroxide required to make 300.ocm3 of 0.4 moldm-3 solution is {KOH = 56.0}

A.

26.88g

B.

13.44g

C.

6.72g

D.

3.36g

Correct answer is C

300cm3 of 0.4moldm3

1000cm3 contains 0.4mole

300cm3 will contain \(\frac{300 \times 0.4}{1000}\)

= 0.12mole

Number of moles = \(\frac{Mass}{\text {Molecular mass}}\)

Mass = number of moles x m.mass

= 0.12 x 56 = 6.72g

63.

Chemicals that are produced in small quantities and with very degree of purity are

A.

Bulk chemicals

B.

Fine chemicals

C.

Heavy chemicals

D.

Light chemicals

Correct answer is B

No explanation has been provided for this answer.

64.

The boiling points of HF, H2O and NH3 increase in the order of

A.

NH3

B.

H2O < HF

C.

HF < NH3 < H2O

D.

NH3 < HF < H2O

Correct answer is D

Ammonia = -33.34°C;  Hydrogen fluoride = 19.5°C; Water = 100°C

65.

When element \(_{20}\)Y combines with element \(_8\)Z, it forms

A.

A covalent compound , YZ is formed

B.

A covalent compound, ZY is formed

C.

An ionic compound, YZ is formed

D.

An ionic compound, ZY is formed

Correct answer is C

Y = 2,8,8,2 and Z = 2,6.

Y will readily give off its 2 valence electrons and Z will accept the 2 electrons in order to achieve octet configuration. Hence, the compound YZ is formed by ionic bonding.

66.

How many electrons are present in \(^9_4Be^{2+}\)?

A.

2

B.

4

C.

5

D.

6

Correct answer is A

Neutral Be has 4 electrons but \(Be^{2+}\) means it has lost two electrons from possible four and became a positive ion. 

\(\therefore\) the number of electrons left will be equal to two.

67.

An atom X consist of 6 protons, 6 electrons and 7 neutrons. Which of the following representations of the atom is correct?

A.

136X

B.

137X

C.

196X

D.

197X

Correct answer is A

No explanation has been provided for this answer.

68.

The following atoms of carbon 126C, 136C and 146C can be described as?

A.

Allotropes

B.

Isomers

C.

Isotopes

D.

Isotones

Correct answer is C

No explanation has been provided for this answer.

69.

N2O4(aq) \(\rightleftharpoons\) 2NO2(g) \(\bigtriangleup\)H = +ve

In the reaction above, an increase in temperature will

A.

Increase the reactant production

B.

Increase the value of the equilibrium constant

C.

Shift the equilibrium to the left

D.

Decrease the value of the equilibrium constant

Correct answer is B

No explanation has been provided for this answer.

70.

The major factor that influences the rate of the reaction above is

A.

Concentration

B.

Catalyst

C.

Temperature

D.

Light

Correct answer is D
