Water can be obtained as the only product during the?
combustion of hydrocarbons
neutraliization of an acid by base
combustion of hydrogen
electrolysis of brine
Correct answer is C
In flame of pure hydrogen burning in air, the hydrogen (H2) reacts with oxygen (O2) to form water \(H_2O\) with the release of energy.
Hydrocarbon combustion refers to the chemical reaction where a hydrocarbon reacts with oxygen to create carbon dioxide, water, and heat.
The electrolysis of brine yields chlorine, hydrogen and sodium hydroxide.
deliquescence
efflorescence
hygroscopic
effervesecence
Correct answer is B
efflorescence, spontaneous loss of water by a hydrated salt, e.g Sodium trioxocarbonate (IV) decahydrate \(Na_2CO_3. 10H_2O)\) also known as washing soda
The mixture of gases used in a photographer's flash tube is?
argon and krypton
krypton and xenon
helium and argon
argon and xenon
Correct answer is B
krypton and xenon for high-speed pictures in a photographer's flash tube
The type of bonding in \({Cu(NH_3)_4}^2\)+ is?
coordinate covalent
electrovalent
metallic
covalent
Correct answer is A
\({Cu(NH_3)_4}^2\)+: The bonding in this ion consists of coordinate covalent bonds with all bonding electrons supplied by the nitrogen atom.
Which quantum number divides shells into orbitals?
Principal
Arzimuthal
Magnetic
Spin
Correct answer is B
The principal quantum number, n, describes the energy of an electron and the most probable distance of the electron from the nucleus.
In other words, it refers to the size of the orbital and the energy level an electron is placed in.
The azimuthal quantum number is a quantum number for an atomic orbital that determines its orbital angular momentum and describes the shape of the orbital.
