Which noble gas is radioactive and is produced as a decay product of uranium and thorium?
Argon
Krypton
Radon
Neon
Correct answer is C
Radon is a radioactive noble gas and is produced as a decay product of uranium and thorium in the Earth's crust. It is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, making it potentially hazardous when it accumulates in enclosed spaces.
The position of equilibrium shifts to the left
The position of equilibrium shifts to the right.
The position of equilibrium remains unchanged
The reaction stops
Correct answer is B
When the temperature is decreased in a reversible reaction, the equilibrium shifts in the direction that produces heat (exothermic direction). For an exothermic reaction, this means the equilibrium position shifts to the right, favoring the forward reaction.
Hard water is water with high concentrations of dissolved ions, in particular calcium and
magnesium ions
nitrogen ions
phosporus ions
helium ions
Correct answer is A
Hard water is water with high concentrations of dissolved ions, in particular calcium and magnesium ions
Which of the following sketches is a graphical representation of Boyle's law?
A
B
C
D
Correct answer is C
Boyles law states that the volume of a given mass of gas is inversely proportional to pressure at constant temperature.
Which of the following scientists formulated the law of conservation of mass?
A. Lavoisier
J. Dalton
R. Boyle
J. Proust
Correct answer is A
Law of conservation of mass was given by Antoine Lavoisier in 1744. According to this law, "Matter can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction".
