The process that occurs when two equivalent forms of a compound are in equilibrium is
Isotopy
Resonance
Isomerism
Reforming
Correct answer is B
Resonance involves two forms of a compound.
Isomerism involves two or more forms of an element.
Reforming involves the rearrangement of molecule.
This deals with a two forms of a molecule where the chemical connectivity is the same but the electrons are distributed differently around the structure.
The acid anhydride that will produce weak acid in water is
SO3
NO2
SO2
CO2
Correct answer is D
H2CO3 is an example of a weak acid while H2SO4 and HNO3 are examples of a strong acid.
CO2 combines with water to give a weak trioxocarbonate (IV) acid.
CO2 + H2O → H2CO3
CaCO3
Na2CO3
Na2SO4
CaSO4
Correct answer is A
Permanent hardness in water= Mg & Ca Sulphate.
Temporary hardness in water= Mg & Ca Carbonate.
Temporary hardness of water is caused by Magnesium and calcium hydrogencarbonate. It is formed when rainwater containing dissolved CO2 flows over deposit of CaCO3
i.e CaCO3 + CO2 + H2O → Ca(HCO3)2
The tincture of iodine means iodine dissolved in
ethanol
bromine chloride
chlorine water
water
Correct answer is A
It is also called weak iodine solution. Tincture solutions are characterized by the presence of alcohol.
Aluminium hydroxide is used in the dyeing industry as a
dye
dispersant
salt
mordant
Correct answer is D
Aluminium hydroxide is used in the dyeing industry as a mordant. It combines with a dye and thereby fixes it in a material.
