276.

The number of Hydrogen ions in 1.0\(dm^{3}\) of 0.02\(moldm^{-3}\) tetraoxosulphate(VI) acid is   \([N_{A} = 6.02 \times 10^{23}]\)

A.

\(1.2 \times 10^{22}\)

B.

\(1.2 \times 10^{23}\)

C.

\(2.4 \times 10^{22}\)

D.

\(2.4 \times 10^{23}\)

Correct answer is A

\(1mole = 6.02 \times 10^{23} ions\)

\(0.02moldm^{-3} = 0.02 \times 6.02 \times 10^{23}\)

=\(0.1204 \times 10^{23} = 1.204 \times 10^{22}\)

\(\approxeq 1.2 \times 10^{22}\)

277.

Which of the following organic compounds can undergo both addition and substitution reactions?

A.

Pentane

B.

Benzene

C.

Propane

D.

Hexane

Correct answer is B

An example of benzene addition reaction is the formation of cyclohexane by a mix of benzene vapour and hydrogen passed over nickel catalyst; while chlorobenzene is formed by substitution reaction.

278.

In the upper atmosphere, the ultra-violet light breaks off a free chlorine atom from chlorofluorocarbon molecule. The effect of this is that the free chlorine atom will

A.

be very reactive and will attack ozone

B.

be non-reactive and will not attack ozone

C.

not change the level of ozone in the atmosphere

D.

increase the level of ozone in the atmosphere

Correct answer is A

CFCs (Chlorofluorocarbons) have a lifetime in the atmosphere of about 20 to 100 years, and consequently one free chlorine atom from a CFC molecule can do a lot of damage, destroying ozone molecules for a long time

279.

Which of the following separation techniques can be employed in obtaining solvent from its solution?

A.

Evaporation

B.

Distillation

C.

Filtration

D.

Precipitation

Correct answer is B

Distillation is the process of separating the components or substances from a liquid mixture by using selective boiling and condensation.

280.

In the removal of water hardness, permutit is regenerated with a strong solution of

A.

NaOH

B.

Na\(_3\)SO\(_4\)

C.

Na\(_3\)CO\(_3\)

D.

NaCl

Correct answer is D

permutit water softener can be regenerated by washing the spent resin with brine( saturated sodium chloride solution). The solution ions replace the calcium or magnesium ions present in it.

\(CaR_{2(s)}\) + 2\(NaCl_{aq}\)  → \(CaCl_{2(aq)}\) + 2\(NaR_{2(s)}\)
