PCL5(g)= PCL3(g) + Cl2(g)

In the reaction above, a decrease in pressure will

A.

Decelerate the reaction

B.

Increase yield of Pcl3

C.

Increase the yield of Pcl5

D.

Accurate the reaction

Correct answer is B

If we decrease the pressure in the reaction, there will be rapid breakage spilling of pcl5. And these follows a principle that molecule of gases tends to move from a region of higher pressure to low pressure. Option A,C,D will not be affected by pressure decrease

The furring of kettles is caused by the presence of what compound in water?

A.

calcium tetraoxosulphate (IV)

B.

calcium hydrogentrioxocarbonate (IV)

C.

calcium hydroxide

D.

calcium trioxocarbonate (IV)

Correct answer is D

Calcium hydrogen carbonate, often present in temporary hard water, is boiled in a kettle to remove the hardness. In the process, a scale forms on the inside of the kettle in a process known as furring of kettles. This scale is composed of calcium carbonate.

What is the relationship between demand and supply in agriculture?

A.

Demand in agriculture is independent of supply

B.

Demand and supply in agriculture are interdependent

C.

Supply in agriculture is determined solely by demand

D.

Demand and supply in agriculture are unrelated

Correct answer is B

In agriculture, demand and supply are interdependent factors. Demand refers to the quantity of agricultural products that consumers are willing and able to purchase at a given price. Supply, on the other hand, refers to the quantity of agricultural products that producers are willing and able to offer for sale at a given price. The relationship between demand and supply is often represented by the concept of market equilibrium.
