61.

What volume of hydrogen would be left over when 300cm3 of oxygen and 1000cm of hydrogen are exploded in a sealed tube? [2H2(g) + O2(g) → 2H2 Og]

A.

200 cm3

B.

400 cm3

C.

600cm3

D.

700cm3

Correct answer is B

2H2(g) + O 2(g) → 2H2Og
2V IV 2V
600cm3 300cm3 600cm3
The volume of hydrogen left over
= 1000 - 600 = 400cm3?

64.

Which of the following pairs of salts undergo hydrolysis?

A.

AlCI3 and NH4CI

B.

AICI3 and NaCI

C.

FeCI3 and KCI

D.

Na2SO4 and K2 SO4

Correct answer is A

Salt hydrolysis is a reaction in which one of the ions from a salt reacts with water, forming either an acidic or basic solution.Salts can be hydrolyzed in water, If the salts at least consist of one weak base or weak acid, they can be hydrolyzed. On the other hand, if the salts are from a strong base and acid, they cannot be hydrolyzed.
Al and \(NH_4\) are from weak base \(Al(OH)_3\) and \(NH_4OH\) respectively while Cl is from a strong acid HCl
