256.

Cathodic protection of metals is based on

A.

standard electrode potential of hydrogen

B.

its electrical conductivity

C.

nature of oxides formed

D.

relative tendencies of oxidation

Correct answer is D

No explanation has been provided for this answer.

257.

What is the relative molecular mass of the compound below?

[H = 1.0; C = 12.0; O = 16.0]

A.

137

B.

136

C.

64

D.

59

Correct answer is B

The molecular formula of the compound in question is \(C_6H_5COOCH_3\)

Then its relative molecular mass = 8C + 8H + 2O = 8 X 12 + 8 x 1 + 2 X 16 = 136

258.

The ratio of carbon atoms of hydrogen atoms in a hydrocarbon is 1:2. If its molecular mass is 56, what is its molecular formula?

A.

C\(_{3}\)H\(_{6}\)

B.

C\(_{4}\)H\(_{8}\)

C.

C\(_{2}\)H\(_{4}\)

D.

CH\(_{2}\)

Correct answer is B

No explanation has been provided for this answer.

259.

Which of the following oxide causes acid rain?

A.

CO

B.

NO

C.

H\(_{2}\)O\(_{2}\)

D.

NO\(_{2}\)

Correct answer is D

Acid rain results when sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOX) are emitted into the atmosphere and transported by wind and air currents.

The SO2 and NOX react with water, oxygen and other chemicals to form sulfuric and nitric acids.

260.

The hydrolysis of proteins by diluting mineral acids produces 

A.

sucrose

B.

glucose

C.

amino acids

D.

fatty acids

Correct answer is C
