The following graph demonstrates the rate of reaction between calcium carbonate (marble)and dilute hydrochloric acid. The graph shows that the rate of reaction is initially greatest when

A.

the initial slope of the curve is steepest and this occur when small pieces of marble are used and is due to a small surface area of reactant

B.

the occur when large pieces of marble are used and is due to a small surface area of reactant

C.

the initial slope of the curve is steepest and this occurs when small pieces of marble are used and is due to a large surface area of reactant

D.

the initial slope of the curve is steepest and this occur when large surface area of reactant

E.

the initial slope of the curve is least steep and this occur when small pieces of marble are used and is due to the increased surface area of the reactant

Which of the following is the correct order in the above diagram increasing boiling point, of the isomeric \(C_{5}H_{12}\) compounds?

A.

A

B.

B

C.

C

D.

D

E.

E

Correct answer is D

The boiling points of each of the compounds:

Pentane - 36.1°C ; 2- methylbutane - 27.8°C ; dimethylpropane - 10°C.

Therefore, the order of boiling point in ascending order is Dimethylpropane < 2-methylbutane < pentane.

2,3-dimethylpent-2,3-ene

B.

2, 3- dimethylpent-2-ene

C.

3, 4-dimethylpent-3-ene

D.

3,4-dimethylpentene

E.

3,4-dimethlhept-2-ene

Correct answer is B

The IUPAC name of the given compound(carefully examined) is 2,3 - dimethyl pent - 2 - ene.

In the above experiment X is?

A.

pure nitrogen

B.

a mixture of nitrogen and oxygen

C.

a mixture of nitrogen and carbondioxide

D.

a mixture of oxygen and inert gases

E.

a mixture of nitrogen and inert gases

Correct answer is E

Alkaline solutions of pyrogallol absorb oxygen efficiently and are used in determining the oxygen content of gas mixtures.

 calcium chloride absorbs sufficient moisture/water from the air.

So,Nitrogen and Inert gases will be left
