Instructions for Answering

Question 1

Element X, from the first transition series, is used in an acid-resistant alloy. Which of the following represents the electronic configuration of the X3+ ion?
✓ Correct Answer: (c) [18Ar] 3d7
📚 Detailed Explanation
Nickel (Ni, Z=28) is widely used with steel to form acid-resistant alloys. Its neutral electronic configuration is [Ar] 4s2 3d8. Removing 3 electrons (two from 4s and one from 3d) to form Ni3+ leaves the configuration [Ar] 3d7.

Question 2

Element X, from the first transition series, has a completely filled (d) sublevel and no unpaired electrons in any oxidation state. Which of the following represents the element type and the electronic configuration of its ion in the compound XO?
✓ Correct Answer: (c) Non-transition, [Ar] 3d10
Zinc (Zn) has completely filled d-orbitals in both its atomic state (4s2 3d10) and its only oxidation state +2 (3d10). Because the d-sublevel is never partially filled, it is considered a non-transition element. In XO (ZnO), the Zn2+ ion has the configuration [Ar] 3d10.

Question 3

Which of the following expresses one of the reasons for using nickel as a catalyst in Oil hydrogenation?
✓ Correct Answer: (c) Electrons of 4s, 3d share in concentrating reactants on its surface.
Transition metals act as ideal catalysts because the electrons of the 4s and 3d orbitals form weak bonds with reactant molecules, concentrating them on the metal's surface. This weakens the bonds in the reactant molecules and lowers the activation energy.

Question 4

Two non-consecutive transition elements, X and Y, are from the first transition series.
Element X: One of its compounds is used as a catalyst in the contact method.
Element Y: It has the same number of unpaired electrons as element X.
- Which of the following is correct?
✓ Correct Answer: (d) The atomic mass of element (Y) is greater than that follow it in the series.
Element X is Vanadium (V), as V2O5 is the catalyst in the contact process. V ([Ar] 4s2 3d3) has 3 unpaired electrons. Element Y, with 3 unpaired electrons and non-consecutive, is Cobalt (Co, [Ar] 4s2 3d7). Cobalt's atomic mass (58.9 u) is anomalously greater than the element following it, Nickel (58.7 u).

Question 5

(A, B, and C) three consecutive elements from the first transition series.
Element (A) has an anomalous electronic configuration than that of other elements in the series.
-Which of the following represents the correct order of magnetic moments for ions of these elements in the oxidation state (3+)?
✓ Correct Answer: (d) C3+ > B3+ > A3+
Element A with anomalous configuration is Chromium (Cr, Z=24). Since they are consecutive, B is Manganese (Mn, Z=25), and C is Iron (Fe, Z=26).
A3+ (Cr3+) is 3d3 (3 unpaired).
B3+ (Mn3+) is 3d4 (4 unpaired).
C3+ (Fe3+) is 3d5 (5 unpaired).
More unpaired electrons mean a higher magnetic moment, so Fe3+ > Mn3+ > Cr3+ (C > B > A).

Question 6

When a confirmatory reagent (X) is added to a salt solution (Y), the color of reagent (X) disappears and the salt (Y) oxidizes.
- Which of the following represents reagent (X) and salt (Y)?
OptionThe reagent XThe salt Y
a)Acidified potassium permanganatesodium nitrite
b)Magnesium sulphatesodium carbonate
c)Lead II acetatesodium sulphide
d)brown iodine solutionSodium sulphate
✓ Correct Answer: (a)
Acidified potassium permanganate (KMnO4) is a strong oxidizing agent with a distinct purple color. When it oxidizes sodium nitrite (NaNO2) to sodium nitrate (NaNO3), it is reduced to colorless Mn2+, causing its purple color to disappear.

Question 7

From the following diagram:

black ppt. (Y)    ← (X) —— CuCl2(aq) —— K2CO3(aq) →    (Z) ppt.

-Which of the following represents substance X, Y, and Z?
OptionXYZ
a)AgNO3(aq)AgCl(s)KCl(s)
b)HCl(aq) + H2S(g)CuCl2(s)CuCO3(s)
c)HCl(aq) + H2S(g)CuS(s)CuCO3(s)
d)Na2S(aq)NaCl(s)KCl(s)
✓ Correct Answer: (c) X = HCl(aq) + H2S(g), Y = CuS(s), Z = CuCO3(s)
Reacting CuCl2(aq) with K2CO3 causes a double substitution yielding Copper Carbonate (CuCO3), a precipitate (Z). Passing H2S gas in acidic medium (HCl) into CuCl2 precipitates Copper (II) Sulfide (CuS), which is the characteristic black precipitate (Y) for Analytical Group II.

Question 8

100 mL of 0.5 M calcium hydroxide is added to 200 mL of 0.6 M hydrochloric acid according to the following equation: 2HCl + Ca(OH)2 → CaCl2 + 2H2O
- Which of the following represents the concentration of excess reactant?
✓ Correct Answer: (b) 0.0667 M
Moles of Ca(OH)2 = 0.1 L × 0.5 M = 0.05 moles.
Moles of HCl = 0.2 L × 0.6 M = 0.12 moles.
Reaction ratio is 1:2. 0.05 moles Ca(OH)2 require exactly 0.10 moles of HCl. Thus, HCl is in excess by (0.12 - 0.10) = 0.02 moles.
Total final volume = 100 mL + 200 mL = 300 mL (0.3 L).
Concentration of excess = 0.02 moles / 0.3 L ≈ 0.0667 M.

Question 9

2.52 g of hydrated crystals of acid (A) [A·XH2O]. It was dissolved in distilled water to make a 250 mL of 0.08 M solution. 25 mL of this solution was titrated with a sodium hydroxide solution containing 0.16 g of the solute.
(Molar mass of the acid = 90 g/mol, NaOH = 40 g/mol)
-Which of the following expresses the number of water molecules (X) and the type Of acid?
✓ Correct Answer: (a) X = 2 and the acid is diprotic
Moles of hydrated acid in 250 mL = 0.25 L × 0.08 M = 0.02 moles.
Molar mass of hydrated acid = 2.52 g / 0.02 moles = 126 g/mol.
Mass of water of hydration = 126 - 90 = 36 g/mol. Since H2O is 18 g/mol, X = 36 / 18 = 2.
Titration: 25 mL acid contains 0.002 moles. Moles NaOH = 0.16 g / 40 g/mol = 0.004 moles. Ratio of Acid:Base is 0.002:0.004 = 1:2. The acid is diprotic.

Question 10

All of the following reactions produce substances sparingly soluble in water except:
✓ Correct Answer: (a) Magnesium sulphate solution with potassium bicarbonate solution
Reaction (a) yields Magnesium bicarbonate, Mg(HCO3)2, which is fully soluble in water (all bicarbonates are soluble). Options (b) produces elemental Sulphur ppt, (c) produces Silver sulphite ppt, and (d) produces Calcium carbonate ppt.

Question 11

Which of the following is true for reactions (A) and (B)? (When each is performed in a sealed container)?

Reaction (A)Reaction (B)
N2(g) + 3H2(g) ⇌ 2NH3(g)Mg(s) + 2HCl(aq) → MgCl2(aq) + H2(g)
✓ Correct Answer: (c) Reaction (A) reaches equilibrium, but reaction (B) does not.
Reaction (A) is a reversible gaseous reaction; in a sealed container, it achieves equilibrium. Reaction (B) is effectively a complete/irreversible reaction under standard conditions (metals reacting with strong acids go to completion), thus it does not establish a dynamic chemical equilibrium even in a closed system.

Question 12

Two solutions of two weak acids (HA) and (HB) have a pH = 3 for each
- Acid HA has a concentration of 0.1 M.
- Acid HB has a concentration of 0.01 M.
Which of the following is correct for acids HA and HB?
✓ Correct Answer: (c) The value of Ka for acid HB is greater.
Since pH = 3 for both, [H+] = 10-3 M for both.
Using Ka ≈ [H+]2 / Ca:
For HA: Ka = (10-3)2 / 0.1 = 10-5
For HB: Ka = (10-3)2 / 0.01 = 10-4
10-4 > 10-5, so acid HB has the greater Ka value.

Question 13

Which of the following equilibrium reactions shifts to the forward reaction by increasing the volume of the container?
✓ Correct Answer: (a) N2O4(g) ⇌ 2NO2(g)
Increasing the volume decreases the pressure. According to Le Chatelier's Principle, the equilibrium shifts toward the side with the greater number of gaseous moles. In reaction (a), 1 mole of gas forms 2 moles of gas. Thus, it will shift forward to the right.

Question 14

Two tubes (A, B) each contain equal masses of an active metal and the same acid.
If the reaction in tube (B) is ended in a shorter time than in tube (A).
Which of the following is the reason of the different in reaction time of the two reactions?
✓ Correct Answer: (c) Increasing the temperature of tube (B)
A shorter reaction time means a higher reaction rate. Increasing the temperature provides more kinetic energy to particles, increasing collision frequency and successful collisions, thereby speeding up the reaction in tube (B). (Adding water would slow it down, while options a and b would make tube A faster, contradicting the premise).

Question 15

Four solutions have the same concentration:
1- HCl solution                  2- NaOH solution
3- CH3COOH acid solution     4- NH4OH solution
-The order of these solutions according to the hydronium ion concentration is:
✓ Correct Answer: (a) 1 > 3 > 4 > 2
Hydronium ion concentration [H3O+] dictates acidity.
- HCl (1) is a strong acid (Highest [H+]).
- CH3COOH (3) is a weak acid.
- NH4OH (4) is a weak base (low [H+], high [OH-]).
- NaOH (2) is a strong base (Lowest [H+], approaching ~10-14).

Question 16

A saturated lead (II) chloride (PbCl2) solution is in equilibrium according to the Following equation: PbCl2(s) ⇌ Pb2+(aq) + 2Cl-(aq)
-Which of the following is correct regarding the solubility of PbCl2 when a small Amount of each of the following salts is added separately?
✓ Correct Answer: (c) Solubility decreases with addition of lead (II) acetate solution.
Adding Lead (II) acetate provides additional Pb2+ ions to the solution. According to Le Chatelier's principle (Common Ion Effect), the equilibrium shifts to the left to consume the extra Pb2+, forcing more PbCl2 to precipitate out and thus decreasing its solubility.

Question 17

A galvanic cell consists of:
An electrode (X) in XSO4 solution
An electrode (Y) in YSO4 solution
-If metal (X) is a stronger reducing agent than metal (Y), which of the following describes what happens in this cell?
✓ Correct Answer: (c) Negative ions move from the bridge to the half cell (X)
If X is a stronger reducing agent, X is the Anode (undergoes oxidation: X → X2+ + 2e-). As positive X2+ ions accumulate in the anode half-cell, negative ions (anions) from the salt bridge migrate towards it to neutralize the excess positive charge.

Question 18

An electrochemical cell undergoes the following reaction:
2Y(s) + 3X+(aq) → 2Y+(aq) + 3X(s) ; emf = +1.6 V
- Which of the following is correct for both electrode type (Y) and cell type?
Optionthe Y-electrode typetype of cell
AcathodeGalvanic
BanodeElectrolytic
CanodeGalvanic
dcathodeElectrolytic
✓ Correct Answer: (C)
The positive EMF (+1.6 V) indicates a spontaneous reaction, making it a Galvanic cell. In the reaction, Y goes from oxidation state 0 to +1. Oxidation occurs at the anode, so the Y-electrode is the anode.

Question 19

Four electrodes [X], [Y], [Z], [L], where:
(X2+/X)(Y2+/Y)(Z/Z2+)(L/L2+)
-0.44 V+1.5 V-0.34 V+1.18 V

Which of the following reactions represents a cell that produces the greatest electromotive force (emf)?
✓ Correct Answer: (c) L + Y2+ → L2+ + Y
First, harmonize standard potentials to Reduction Potentials (E°red):
X: -0.44V, Y: +1.5V, Z: +0.34V (flipped from ox), L: -1.18V (flipped from ox).
Greatest EMF = E°red(Cathode) - E°red(Anode). Maximum gap is between highest (+1.5V for Y) and lowest (-1.18V for L).
L must oxidize (anode), Y must reduce (cathode): L + Y2+ → L2+ + Y.
EMF = 1.5 - (-1.18) = +2.68 V.

Question 20

Which of the following examples illustrates cathodic protection of metals against corrosion?
✓ Correct Answer: (d) Coating iron with a metal that has a lower oxidation potential than iron
Cathodic protection involves coating iron with a metal that is LESS active (acts as a cathode), meaning it has a lower oxidation potential (or higher reduction potential) than iron. An example is coating iron with tin (Sn). (Note: Galvanizing is *anodic* protection).

Question 21

Which of the following represents the anode half-reaction during the electrolysis of molten sodium hydride (NaH) between graphite electrodes?
✓ Correct Answer: (d) 2H- → H2 + 2e-
In a metal hydride like NaH, hydrogen exists as the hydride ion (H-). During electrolysis, anions migrate to the anode where they are oxidized (lose electrons). 2H- lose 2 electrons to form H2 gas.

Question 22

Which of the following metals that deposits 18 g when 1.5 F passes through one of its molten salts? (Na = 23, Mg = 24, Ca = 40, K = 39)
✓ Correct Answer: (b) Mg
According to Faraday's law, Equivalent Mass = Mass / Faradays = 18 g / 1.5 F = 12 g/eq.
We check the equivalent mass for each metal:
Na (23/1 = 23), Mg (24/2 = 12), Ca (40/2 = 20), K (39/1 = 39).
Magnesium (Mg) matches.

Question 23

Two organic compounds, (X) and (Y):
X: An aliphatic compound that, upon oxidation, produces a compound used in Polyester production.
Y: An aromatic compound whose sodium salt is used to prevent growth of fungi.
-Which of the following is correct?
✓ Correct Answer: (B) Compound (Y) does not obey the formula CnH2nO2 and contains a carboxyl group.
X is Ethylene or ethene (C2H6O2), an aliphatic Has (no carboxyl group),and does not matches the general formula CnH2n+2O2. It oxidizes to form acids used in polyesters (like Dacron). Y is Benzoic acid (C7H6O2), an aromatic acid (its sodium salt, Sodium Benzoate, is a food preservative).

Question 24

Which of the following hydroxyl compounds cannot be obtained by ammonolysis of an ethyl benzoate isomer?
✓ Correct Answer:(d) C2H5OH

The correct answer is d) C2H5OH.


🧪 Chemical Explanation & Equations

  • The Isomer Criteria: Ethyl benzoate has the molecular formula C9H10O2. Ammonolysis of an ester breaks it down into an amide and an alcohol/hydroxyl compound. The question strictly requires the starting ester to be an isomer of ethyl benzoate, not ethyl benzoate itself.
  • Why Ethanol (d) is the Exception: Ethanol (C2H5OH) is obtained directly from ethyl benzoate, which cannot be an isomer of itself:
    \(\text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{COOC}_2\text{H}_5 \text{ (Ethyl benzoate)} + \text{NH}_3 \rightarrow \text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{CONH}_2 \text{ (Benzamide)} + \{\text{C}_2\text{H}_5\text{OH}}\)

💡 Formation from True Isomers (Why Options a, b, c Fail)

  • Option a (Phenol): Obtained by the ammonolysis of phenyl propanoate (an isomer with formula C9H10O2):
    \(\text{C}_2\text{H}_5\text{COOC}_6\text{H}_5 + \text{NH}_3 \rightarrow \text{C}_2\text{H}_5\text{CONH}_2 \text{ (Propanamide)} + \{\text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{OH}}\)
  • Option b (2-Phenylethanol): Obtained by the ammonolysis of phenethyl formate (an isomer with formula C9H10O2):
    \(\text{HCOOCH}_2\text{CH}_2\text{C}_6\text{H}_5 + \text{NH}_3 \rightarrow \text{HCONH}_2 \text{ (Formamide)} + \{\text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{CH}_2\text{CH}_2\text{OH}}\)
  • Option c (Benzyl alcohol): Obtained by the ammonolysis of benzyl acetate (an isomer with formula C9H10O2):
    \(\text{CH}_3\text{COOCH}_2\text{C}_6\text{H}_5 + \text{NH}_3 \rightarrow \text{CH}_3\text{CONH}_2 \text{ (Acetamide)} + \{\text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{CH}_2\text{OH}}\)

Question 25

The following equation illustrates one of the thermal catalytic cracking processes:
C20H42(s) → X(l) + Y(g) + Z(l)
X: An alkene containing 30 mol of atoms per mole.
Y: The heaviest gaseous alkene.
- Which of the following does not represent compound (Z)?
✓ Correct Answer: (b) It reacts with hydrogen halides (HBr) according to Markownikoff’s rule.
X is C10H20 (10 C + 20 H = 30 atoms). Y is Butene (C4H8, heavily gaseous alkene). By balancing carbon: 20 - 10 - 4 = 6 carbons. Z is Hexane (C6H14). Hexane is an alkane (saturated); it does NOT undergo addition reactions with HBr, making option (b) the incorrect statement regarding Z.

Question 26

X, Y, and Z are three hydrocarbon derivatives:
X: has the general formula CnH2nO2 and reacts with active metals.
Y: has the general formula CnH2nO2 and does not react with active metals.
Z: has the general formula CnH2n+2O and reacts with active metals.
If the molar masses of (X, Y, and Z) are equal, which of the following is correct regarding their boiling points?
✓ Correct Answer: (d) (X) has a higher boiling point than (Z).
X is a Carboxylic Acid (forms 2 hydrogen bonds per pair). Y is an Ester (no hydrogen bonding). Z is an Alcohol (forms 1 hydrogen bond). Thus, for similar molar masses, Boiling Point order is: Acid (X) > Alcohol (Z) > Ester (Y).

Question 27

An organic compound with the molecular formula C5H10O2 has a complex Functional group of two functional groups.
- Which of the following could be the IUPAC name for this compound?
✓ Correct Answer: (d) 2,2-Dimethyl propanoic acid
"A complex functional group of two functional groups" refers to the Carboxyl group (-COOH), which combines a Carbonyl (C=O) and Hydroxyl (-OH). The compound must be a carboxylic acid with 5 carbons. 2,2-Dimethyl propanoic acid has 3 carbons in the main chain + 2 methyl branches = 5 carbons total (C5H10O2).

Question 28

Which of the following represents the correct order of some organic compounds according to the amount of oxygen required for the complete combustion of one mole?
✓ Correct Answer: (b) Ethane > Ethene > Ethyne
Combustion stoichiometry:
- Ethane (C2H6): requires 3.5 moles O2.
- Ethene (C2H4): requires 3 moles O2.
- Ethyne (C2H2): requires 2.5 moles O2.
- Methane (CH4): requires 2 moles O2.

Question 29

Compound A, produced by the fractional distillation of coal tar, the following reactions, in order, under the standard conditions for each occurs for compound A:
(Chlorination by substitution - Reaction with sodium hydroxide - Nitration)
-Which of the following represents a use of the produced compound?
✓ Correct Answer: (c) Explosive substance
Fractional distillation of coal tar yields Benzene (A). Chlorination -> Chlorobenzene. Reaction with NaOH at 300°C/300atm -> Phenol. Nitration of Phenol yields 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (Picric Acid), which is highly explosive and used to treat burns.

Question 30

Which of the following is the IUPAC name of the compound shown?
COOH O2N NO2
✓ Correct Answer: (b) 2,5-dinitro benzoic acid
Numbering starts at the principal functional group (COOH) as carbon #1. To give the lowest locants to the substituents, we number around the ring towards the closest NO2 group. It lands on positions 2 and 5.

Question 31

Which of the following describes the properties of each of the following types of alcohols?
✓ Correct Answer: (d) Primary and secondary alcohols react with acidified potassium permanganate, while tertiary do not.
Tertiary alcohols lack hydrogen atoms on the carbinol carbon (C-OH), making them highly resistant to oxidation under normal conditions with reagents like KMnO4 or K2Cr2O7. Primary and secondary alcohols are easily oxidized.

Question 32

Three organic compounds are used in the manufacture of polymers:
- (Reaction of compound (1) with compound (2)) gives polymer used to treat heart disease.
- (Reaction compound 3 with an aldehyde) gives polymer used in the manufacture Of cigarette ash trays.
- Which of the following represents each of the three compounds?
OptionCompound 1Compound 2Compound 3
a)EthyneHydrogen fluorideTeflon
b)Ethylene glycolPhthalic AcidCarbolic acid
c)Ethylene GlycolTerphthalic AcidCarbolic acid
d)Phthalic AcidCarbolic acidEthylene Glycol
✓ Correct Answer: (c) Ethylene Glycol / Terphthalic Acid / Carbolic acid
Dacron, used for artificial heart valves/vessels, is a polyester formed by the condensation of Ethylene Glycol and Terephthalic Acid. Bakelite, used for heat-resistant ash trays, is a thermosetting polymer formed from Carbolic acid (Phenol) and an aldehyde (Formaldehyde).

Question 33

Fe2O3 can be obtained by all of the following methods except:
✓ Correct Answer: (a) Addition of (dil.) H2SO4 to the product of reduction Fe3O4 / Addition of alkali / Heating above 200°C

💡 Why Other Options Successfully Produce Fe₂O₃

Question 34

Which of the following processes is necessary to produce steel iron from a sample of siderite?
✓ Correct Answer: (b) Roasting - Reduction - Removing impurities - Addition of carbon.
Siderite (FeCO3) is first roasted to yield Fe2O3. It is then reduced in a blast furnace to produce molten iron. The iron is moved to a steel converter (oxygen furnace) where impurities are removed by oxidation, and finally, precise amounts of carbon are added to form the steel alloy.

Question 35

5 g of impure sample of aluminum sulphate Al2(SO4)3 was dissolved in water. An excess amount of ammonia solution was added until aluminum hydroxide was completely precipitated. The precipitate was separated and dried, yielding a mass of 2.03 g. Which of the following represents the percentage of aluminum in the sample?
[Al=27, S=32, N=14, O=16, H=1]
✓ Correct Answer: (b) 14.05%
Molar mass of Al(OH)3 = 27 + (3 × 17) = 78 g/mol.
Moles of precipitate = 2.03 g / 78 g/mol = 0.0260 mol of Al.
Mass of Al = 0.0260 mol × 27 g/mol = 0.702 g.
Percentage in 5 g sample = (0.702 / 5) × 100 ≈ 14.05%.

Question 36

A solution containing (Ag+, K+, Cu2+) cations.
-Which of the following expresses the possible color of the precipitate formed when excess of HCl solution is added and then H2S gas is passed through this solution?
✓ Correct Answer: (c) A mixture of white and black precipitates
Adding HCl precipitates Group I cations: Ag+ forms White AgCl. Then, adding H2S in the acidic medium precipitates Group II cations: Cu2+ forms Black CuS. Thus, the resulting mixture contains both white and black precipitates.

Question 37

Lead (II) chloride is sparingly soluble in water, its solubility product [Ksp=1.2x 10-5] at 25°C
-Which of the following represents the volume of a saturated solution containing 0.1 g of salt at the same temperature? (PbCl2 = 278 g/mol)
✓ Correct Answer: (a) 25 mL
PbCl2 dissociates into 3 ions, Ksp = 4S3 = 1.2 × 10-5.
S = &root3(1.2 × 10-5 / 4) ≈ 0.0144 M.
Moles of 0.1 g = 0.1 / 278 ≈ 3.6 × 10-4 moles.
Volume = Moles / Molarity = 3.6 × 10-4 / 0.0144 ≈ 0.025 L = 25 mL.

Question 38

In the following equilibrium reaction: A(g) + B(g) ⇌ 2C(g)
- The concentrations of reactants and products at 200°C in 1L container are:
[A] = 0.200 M, [B] = 3.00 M, [C] = 0.500 M
- Which of the following represents the number of moles of (A) that must be added To make [C] = 0.700 M at the same temperature?
✓ Correct Answer: (b) 0.305 mol
Kc = (0.500)2 / (0.200 × 3.00) = 0.4167.
To increase [C] from 0.5 to 0.7, 0.2 moles of C must form, meaning 0.1 moles of A and B react. New [B] = 3.0 - 0.1 = 2.9 M.
At new equilibrium: (0.700)2 / ([A]eq × 2.9) = 0.4167 → [A]eq ≈ 0.405 M.
The total A required before reaction shift is 0.405 + 0.1 = 0.505 M.
We started with 0.200 M, so we must add 0.505 - 0.200 = 0.305 mol.

Question 39

From the opposite figure:
X X X²⁺(aq) Cell (1) (A) X Au Au³⁺(aq) Cell (2)
All of the following are correct for cells (1) and (2) except:
✓ Correct Answer: (d) The oxidation potential of substance (A) is higher than that of (X)
(A) represents an external DC source forcing a non-spontaneous reaction (Electrolytic cell). By definition, for the electrolysis to proceed, the applied potential (EMF of the battery) must be greater than the cell's opposing galvanic potential. However, it doesn't directly mean A's chemical oxidation potential is higher, it merely acts as a power source overcoming the cell's EMF.

Question 40

In Daniell cell, if the mass of consumed zinc is 6.5 g, then the mass of deposited copper is: (Zn = 65, Cu = 63.5)
✓ Correct Answer: (c) 6.35 g, deposited at the positive electrode
Moles of Zinc consumed (oxidized) = 6.5 g / 65 g/mol = 0.1 mol.
Since both Zn and Cu are divalent (exchange 2 e-), 0.1 mol of Cu is deposited.
Mass of Cu = 0.1 mol × 63.5 g/mol = 6.35 g.
In a Galvanic (Daniell) cell, Copper acts as the Cathode, which is the POSITIVE electrode.

Question 41

From the following diagram:

C₂H₄ KMnO₄ Alkaline medium X KMnO₄ Acidic medium Y
-Which of the following is true?
✓ Correct Answer: (C) (X): Used in the manufacture of polymers, (Y): Is C2H2O4
Reacting Ethene (C2H4) with alkaline KMnO4 (Baeyer's Test) yields Ethylene Glycol (X), used as an antifreeze in car radiators. Reacting it with acidic KMnO4 causes the double bond to cleave or fully oxidize, rapidly destroying the purple color of the permanganate.
  • Compound (X) is Ethylene Glycol (\(\text{C}_2\text{H}_6\text{O}_2\)): Produced via Baeyer's reaction by reacting ethene with cold alkaline \(\text{KMnO}_4\). It is an essential monomer used alongside terephthalic acid in the condensation polymerization industry to manufacture Dacron polyester fibers.
    \(\text{CH}_2=\text{CH}_2 + \text{H}_2\text{O} + [\text{O}] \xrightarrow{\text{Alkaline } \text{KMnO}_4} \{\text{CH}_2\text{OH}-\text{CH}_2\text{OH}}\)
  • Compound (Y) is Oxalic Acid (\(\text{C}_2\text{H}_2\text{O}_4\)): Formed when both primary alcohol groups of ethylene glycol undergo full, rigorous oxidation with hot acidic \(\text{KMnO}_4\), yielding a dicarboxylic acid structure (\(\text{HOOC}-\text{COOH}\)) matching the formula C₂H₂O₄.
    \(\text{CH}_2\text{OH}-\text{CH}_2\text{OH} + 4[\text{O}] \xrightarrow{\text{Acidic } \text{KMnO}_4} \{\text{COOH}-\text{COOH}} + 2\text{H}_2\text{O}\)
  • Option a: Ethylene glycol is not an insecticide agent; it is primarily utilized as a polymer precursor or automotive coolant.
  • Option b: While ethylene glycol is famously utilized in automotive car radiators, oxalic acid (\(\text{Y}\)) is already at its ultimate dicarboxylic oxidation state and cannot act as a reducing agent under typical introductory conditions to rapidly decolorize \(\text{KMnO}_4\) without high-temperature heat assistance.
  • Option d: Ethylene glycol is toxic and never utilized in direct clinical skin medical therapy for treatment of thermal burns.

(B): An aromatic acid containing two different functional groups
(C): A liquid organic compound used in the manufacture of artificial fats and as a Base for manufacture of compound with a general formula CnH2n+2O3
- Which of the following is true for compounds A, B, and C?
✓ Correct Answer: (c) Compound (C) removes the color of alkaline potassium permanganate solution.
- Compound A (e.g. Ethylene Glycol) is an alcohol and does not react with NaHCO3 or FeCl3.
- Compound B (Salicylic Acid) is resistant to dichromate oxidation.
- Compound C is an unsaturated vegetable oil. It contains C=C double bonds which undergo addition with alkaline KMnO4 (Baeyer's test), rapidly removing the purple color.

Question 45 (Essay)

You have four test tubes containing different salt solutions:
A Ca(HCO₃)₂ B Al(NO₃)₃ C FeSO₄ D KCl
  1. Write the chemical name of the reagent used to distinguish between the solid Salts of the four solutions by one experiment.
  2. Which of the four solutions gives a precipitate with an excess of sodium Hydroxide solution?
  3. Which of the above solutions gives a gas and a precipitate when dilute sulphuric Acid is added?
  4. Which of the above salts cannot detects its cation by a normal chemical reagent?
✓ Model Answers
  1. Concentrated Sulfuric Acid (H2SO4): Will cause effervescence (CO2) with A, brown fumes (NO2) with B, acidic fumes (HCl) with D, and no reaction with C.
  2. FeSO4 (Solution C): Forms a greenish-white precipitate of Fe(OH)2 which does not dissolve in excess NaOH. (Al3+ in B forms a precipitate that dissolves in excess).
  3. Ca(HCO3)2 (Solution A): Reacting with dil. H2SO4 yields CO2 gas and sparingly soluble CaSO4 (precipitate).
  4. KCl (Solution D): Potassium (K+) salts are highly soluble; detection usually requires a physical flame test (violet flame) rather than standard chemical precipitation.
