571.

The following glasswares are used to measure the volume of liquids EXCEPT

A.

graduated beaker

B.

pipette

C.

test tube

D.

burette

Correct answer is C

Test tubes are convenient containers for heating small amounts of liquids or solids with a Bunsen burner or alcohol burner.

572.

Which of the following species determines the chemical properties of an atom?

A.

Electron

B.

Neutron

C.

Nucleus

D.

Proton

Correct answer is A

An element's chemical properties depend on its valence electrons.The chemical properties of elements depend on an element's electron configuration.

573.

Particles in a solid exibit

A.

vibrational motion

B.

vibrational and translational motion

C.

vibrational and random motion

D.

random and translational motion

Correct answer is A

Solids vibrate but generally do not move from place to place.

574.

Which of the following properties would not influence electrovalent bond formation?

A.

Electronegativity

B.

Electron Affinity

C.

Ionization potential

D.

Catalytic ability

Correct answer is D

Every other factor influences the formation of elecrovalent or Ionic bonds except Catalytic ability.

575.

The solubility of \(CO_{2}\) in water can be accounted for by

A.

Van der Waal's forces

B.

Ionic attraction

C.

dipole attraction

D.

covalent bonding

Correct answer is A

In CO2, due to electronegativity difference oxygens have slight negative charge, hence surrounded by polar water molecule forming a cage structure.This leads to its solubility.
