341.

The high solubility of ethanol in water is due to?

A.

its low boiling point.

B.

its low freezing point.

C.

its covalent nature

D.

hydrogen bonding

Correct answer is D

Ethanol is an alcohol that is soluble in water. This is because of the hydroxyl group (−OH) in the ethanol that is able to form hydrogen bonds with the water (H2O) molecules.

342.

Equal masses of calcium trioxocarbonate(iv) were added to dilute hydrochloric acid at the temperature specified. Under which of the following conditions would the reaction be slowest?

A.

Calcium trioxocarbonate ( iv ) chips a 20°C

B.

CalcIum trioxocarbonate (IV) chips at 40°C

C.

Calcium trioxocarbonate (IV) powder at 20'C

D.

Calcium trioxocarbonate (IV) powder at 40'C

Correct answer is A

- Increasing the surface area of a reactant increases the frequency of collisions and increases the reaction rate.

- Chips have a lower surface area compared to powder, so it accounts for the slowest

343.

What is the mass of silver deposited when 24,125 C of electricity is passed through a solution or silver salt.

[Ag = 108, IF = 96,500 C ]

A.

432g

B.

108g

C.

54g

D.

27g

Correct answer is D

Ag + e → Ag

1 mole of Ag+ = 108

i.e 108 X 1 X 96500

But, 24,125C will produce ( 108 X 24,125 ) / ( 1 X 96500 )

Ag = 27g

344.

What quantity of electrons is lost when one mole of iron (II) ions is oxidized to iron (III) ?

A.

0 mole

B.

3 moles

C.

I mole

D.

2 moles

Correct answer is B

Fe^2^+ → Fe^3^+

The pale green Fe2+ is oxidized to orange Fe3+ because it loses an electron.

345.

Which or the following products could be formed during incomplete combustion of a hydrocarbon.

i.Carbon ii. Hydrogen III. Carbon (Il) oxide

A.

I only

B.

I and II only

C.

I and III only

D.

II and III only

Correct answer is C

Incomplete combustion occurs when the supply of air or oxygen is poor. Water is still produced, but carbon monoxide and carbon are produced instead of carbon dioxide. The carbon is released as soot.
