Which of the following types of alkanols undergo oxidation to produce alkanoic acids.

I. Primary alkanols
II. Secondary alkanols
III. Tertiary alkanols

A.

I, II and III

B.

I and II only

C.

III only

D.

I only

Correct answer is D

Only primary alkanols undergo oxidation to produce alkanoic acid. Option A,B,C will not produce alkanoic acid

Hydrogen can be displaced from a hot alkaline solution by

A.

Fe

B.

Cu

C.

Ca

D.

Sn

Correct answer is D

Tin dissolves in concentrated solution of alkalis to give trioxostannate(IV) salt and hydrogen.

Which of the following ions  requires the largest quantity of electricity for discharge at an electrode?

A.

2.0 mole of Q3+

B.

2.5 mole of R2+

C.

3.0 mole of T-

D.

4.0 mole of Y-

Correct answer is A

2.0 mole of Q3+ ions require the largest quantity of electricity for discharge at an electric. option B,C,D are all carrying a smaller quantity of electricity which not be proven for ant discharge

A fixed mass of gas occupies 92cm3 at 3°C. What will be its volume at 18C if the pressure remains constant?

A.

15.3cm3

B.

87.3cm3

C.

2.0cm3

D.

97.0cm3

Correct answer is D

V1T1 = V2T2
T1 = 3 + 273 = 276K
T2 = 18 + 273 = 291K
V1 = 92cm3
V2 = ?
V2 = V1T2T1

=92×291276 
= 97.0cm3

1,105.

P1V1 = P2V2 supports ?

A.

Charles’s law

B.

Boyles’s law

C.

Graham’s law

D.

Avogadro’s law

Correct answer is B

V = 1/P

cross multiply

K = VP

V1P1 = V2V2

For a fixed amount of an ideal gas kept at a fixed temperature, pressure and volume are inversely proportional. Or Boyle's law is a gas law, stating that the pressure and volume of a gas have an inverse relationship, when temperature is held constant.
The equations supports only Boyle’s law. Option A,C,D are not in support of the equation...
