806.

Which of the following arrangements shows increasing order of reactivity of the halogens?

A.

F2 > Cl2 > Br2 >I2

B.

I2 < Br2 < Cl2

C.

F2 < Cl2 < Br2

D.

I2 > Br2 > Cl2 > F2

Correct answer is B

The reactivity of halogens decreases as you move down Group 7.

Halogens become less reactive as you move down the group as the atomic radius of the element increases which means that the distance between the outer shell of electrons and the nucleus increases.

807.

An unsaturated solution differs from a saturated solution at a given temperature because it

A.

Cannot dissolve more solute

B.

Can hold more solute than it can actually dissolve

C.

Can still dissolve more solute at given temperature

D.

Form crystal more easily on cooling

Correct answer is C

An unsaturated solution contains a lesser amount of solute than that in a saturated solution. It can go on to dissolve more quantities of solute at the same temperature until it becomes a saturated solution.

808.

Aluminium is used in the manufacture or aircraft because it

A.

Is hard and brittle

B.

Is light and resists corrosion

810.

The mass of potassium hydroxide required to make 300.ocm3 of 0.4 moldm-3 solution is {KOH = 56.0}

A.

26.88g

B.

13.44g

C.

6.72g

D.

3.36g

Correct answer is C

300cm3 of 0.4moldm3

1000cm3 contains 0.4mole

300cm3 will contain 300×0.41000

= 0.12mole

Number of moles = MassMolecular mass

Mass = number of moles x m.mass

= 0.12 x 56 = 6.72g
