At 25oC and 1atm, a gas occupies a volume of 1.50dm3. What volume will it occupy at 100oC and 1atm?

A.

1.88 dm3

B.

6.00 dm3

C.

18.80 dm3

D.

18.80 dm3

E.

60.00dm3

Correct answer is A

\(\frac{v_1}{T_1} = \frac{V_2}{T_2}\)

V2 = \(\frac{V_1 \times T_2}{T_1}\)

= \(\frac{1.50 \times 373}{298}\)

= 1.88 dm3

The dissolution of common salt in water is a physical change because

A.

the salt can be obtained by crystallization

B.

the salt can be recovered by the evaporation of water

C.

heat is not generated during mixing

D.

the solution will not boil at 100oC

Correct answer is B

The evaporation of water is a physical change. When water evaporates, it changes from the liquid state to the gas state, but it is still water; it has not changed into any other substance.

B.

remove carbon (iv) oxides from ethene

C.

remove carbon (ii) oxide from ethene

D.

remove sulphur (iv) oxide from ethene

Correct answer is B

Caustic soda, \(NaOH\) , serves to remove gaseous impurities from the gas evolved during the laboratory preparation of ethene. Basically, the major impurities are Sulphur (IV) oxide and Carbon (IV) oxide.
