Chlorine, bromine and iodine resemble each other in that all?

A.

dissolve in alkalis

B.

react violently with hydrogen without heating

C.

displace each other from solutions of their salts

D.

are gases

E.

are liquids

Correct answer is A

Alkali metals tend to lose one electron and form ions with a single positive charge.

They form ionic compounds (salts) in reaction with the halogens (alkali halides)

B.

inter molecular forces in water are stronger than those in methanol

C.

water is an inorganic compound while methanol is organic

D.

water is an ionic compound while methanol is a covalent compound

What mass of a divalent metal M (atomic mass = 40) would react with excess hydrochloric acid to liberate 224cm^3 dry hydrogen gas measured at S.T.P?

A.

8.0 g

B.

4.0 g

C.

0.8 g

D.

0.4 g

Correct answer is D

let the divalent metal be Q

Q + 2HCl → QCl2 + H2

1mole of Q liberated 1 mole of Hydrogen gas ( one mole of any gas at STP has a volume of 22400cm^3 or 22.4dm^3 )

40  → 22400cm^3

? → 224cm^3

mass of Q = \(\frac{ 40 \times 224}{22400}\)

mass of Q = 0.4g.
