676.

A given amount of gas occupies 10.0dm3 at 4atm and 273°C. The number of moles of the gas present is?

[Molar volume of gas at s.t.p = 22.4dm3]

A.

0.89 mol

B.

1.90 mol

C.

3.80 mol

D.

5.70 mol

Correct answer is A

No explanation has been provided for this answer.

X(g) + 3Y(g) ---- 2z(g) H = +ve. if the reaction above takes place at room temperature, the G will be

A.

negative

B.

zero

C.

positive

D.

indeterminate

Correct answer is A

Enthalpy Change [ΔH]Entropy Change [ΔS]Gibbs free Energy[ΔG]PositivePositivedepends on T, may be + or -NegativePositivealways negativeNegativeNegativedepends on T, may be + or -PositiveNegativealways positive

ΔG= ΔH − TΔS.
To determine whether ΔG will be positive or negative, the value of ΔH(change in enthalpy) and ΔS (change in entropy) must be given. Likewise the temperature.

678.

Ca(OH)2(s) + 2NH4Cl(s) → CaCl2(s) + 2H2O(l) + X. In the reaction above X is

A.

NO2

B.

NH3

C.

N2O

D.

NO2

Correct answer is B

Balancing the chemical equation.

Ca[OH]2 + 2NH4Cl → CaCl2 + 2H2O + 2NH3

X = NH3

A.

bad colour

B.

bacteria

C.

The furring of kettles is caused by the presence in water of

A.

calcium hydrogentrioxocarbonate (IV)

B.

calcium trioxocarbonate (IV)

C.

calcium tetraoxosulphate (VI)

D.

calcium hydroxide

Correct answer is B

Furring of kettles is caused by the temporary hardness in water. Temporary hardness in water is caused by calcium and magnesium trioxocarbonate (IV)
CaCO3 causes the furring of kettles
