Q1.Arrange the following in decreasing order of their boiling points. (A) n–butane (B) 2–methylbutane (C) n-pentane (D) 2,2–dimethylpropane
Answer : Option CExplaination / Solution:
Boiling point depends on molecular mass and surface area.As the number of carbon atoms increase,boiling point increases ,hence n-butane has the minimum boiling point.Among isomeric alkanes,boiling point decreases with branching.Hence the order.
Q4.Generally, the first ionization energy increases along a period including some exceptions. One which is NOT an exception is ______.
Answer : Option BExplaination / Solution:
The high ionization energy of B, N and Mg is due to the presence of stable electronic configuration in these atoms as compared to the next element in the period. For ex. Be (Is2 2s2) has competely filled orbitals as compared to B (1s2 2s2 2p1) where there is one electron in p-orbital that can easily be lost. Therefore, B has a lower ionization energy than Be.
Q8.Mohr’s salt is a better volumetric agent then ferrous sulphate because
Answer : Option BExplaination / Solution:
Mohr’s salt is a better volumetric agent then ferrous sulphate because
it is less readily oxidised in the solid state. Also Mohr salt is more
stable than FeSO4.
Answer : Option BExplaination / Solution:
Water present in the interstitial sites in a crystal lattice is known as interstitial water. They are not held by hydrogen bonding with the other elements. If they are bonded they are called H-bonded hydrates.
Barium chloride is a white crystalline powder. It contains two molecules of water. It is one of the most important water soluble salts of Barium.
