The percentage by mass of calcium in Ca(OCI)2 is [Ca = 40.0; CI = 35.5; O = 16.0]

A.

28.0%

B.

31.6%

C.

43.8%

D.

44.5%

Correct answer is A

Molar mass of \(Ca(OCl)_2\) = 40 + (16 + 35.5)x2 = 143

% by mass of calcium in the compound =\(\frac{mass  of  calcuim}{molar  mass  of  compound}\) x 100%

% calcium = \(\frac{40}{143} \times100\)

  = 27.98% = 28%

The volume of 0.25 moldm-3 solution of KOH that would yield 6.5g of of solid KOH on evaporation is (K = 39.0; o = 16.0; H = 1.00)

A.

464.30 cm3

B.

625.00 cm3

C.

1000.00 cm3

D.

2153.80 cm3

Correct answer is A

number of moles = molar concentration x volume(\(dm^3\))

molar concentration(C) = 0.25mol/dm3, volume = ? and number of mole(n) = \(\frac{mass}{molar mass}\) = \(\frac{6.5}{56}\) ( where 56g/mol = molar mass of KOH)

\(\frac{6.5}{56}\) = 0.25 x V 

V = \(\frac{0.11607}{0.25}\) = 0.46428dm^3 → 464.3cm^3

Consider the reaction represented by the following equation: C\(_2\)H\(_2\) + yH\(_2\) → C\(_2\)H\(_6\). The value of y in the reaction is

A.

4

B.

3

C.

2

D.

1

Correct answer is C

C\(_2\)H\(_2\) + yH\(_2\) → C\(_2\)H\(_6\)

To balance the equation, we must have 2 carbon atoms on both sides and 6 hydrogen atoms.

On the LHS and RHS, carbon = 2 atoms.

On the LHS, Hydrogen = 2 + 2y.

On the RHS, Hydrogen = 6.

⇒ 2 + 2y = 6

2y = 4

y = 2.

Which of the following statements about nuclear reaction is correct? The reaction

A.

involves neutrons only

B.

takes place inside the nucleus

C.

is governed by temperature and pressure

D.

involves protons and electrons only

Correct answer is B

A nuclear reaction is semantically considered to be the process in which two nuclei, or a nucleus and an external subatomic particle, collide to produce one or more new nuclides.
