Q1. 40 ml of methane is completely burnt using 80 ml of oxygen at room temperature The volume of gas left after cooling to room temperature is
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

CH4(g) + 2O2(g) → CO2 (g)+ 2 H2O (l)



Since the product was cooled to room temperature, water exists mostly as liquid. Hence, option (a) is correct


Q2. An element X has the following isotopic composition 200X = 90 %, 199X = 8 % and 202X = 2 %. The weighted average atomic mass of the element X is closest to
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:




Q3.

Assertion Two mole of glucose contains 12.044 × 1023 molecules of glucose

Reason : Total number of entities present in one mole of any substance is equal to 6.02 × 1022


Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

Correct reason: Total number of entities present in one mole of any substance is equal to 6.022 ×1023.

Q4. Carbon forms two oxides, namely carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. The equivalent mass of which element remains constant?
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:




Q5. The equivalent mass of a trivalent metal element is 9 g eq-1 the molar mass of its anhydrous oxide is
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

 Let the trivalent metal be M3+

 Equivalent mass = mass of the metal / valance factor

 9 g eq-1 = mass of the metal / 3 eq

 Mass of the metal = 27 g

 Oxide formed M2O3 ;

 Mass of the oxide = (2 x 27) + (3 x 16)

 = 102 g


Q6. The number of water molecules in a drop of water weighing 0.018 g is
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

Weight of the water drop  =0.018 g

No. of moles of water in the drop=Mass of water / molar mass

=  0.018 / 18 = 10-3 mole

No of water molecules present in 1 mole of water= 6.022 x 1023

No. water molecules in one drop of water (10-3 mole)= 6.022 x 1023x 10-3

=6.022 x 1020


Q7. 1 g of an impure sample of magnesium carbonate (containing no thermally decomposable impurities) on complete thermal decomposition gave 0.44 g of carbon dioxide gas. The percentage of impurity in the sample is
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.


Q8. When 6.3 g of sodium bicarbonate is added to 30 g of acetic acid solution, the residual solution is found to weigh 33 g. The number of moles of carbon dioxide released in the reaction is
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:



The amount of CO2 released, x = 3.3 g

No. of moles of CO2 released = 3.3 / 44 = 0.075 mol


Q9. When 22.4 litres of H2 (g) is mixed with 11.2 litres of Cl2 (g), each at 273 K at 1 atm the moles of HCl (g), formed is equal to
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:

H2(g) + Cl2(g) → 2 HCl (g)




Q10. Hot concentrated sulphuric acid is a moderately strong oxidising agent. Which of the following reactions does not show oxidising behaviour?
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:
