361.

In Boyle's law?

A.

T is constant, P varies directly with V

B.

P is constant, V varies inversely with T

C.

V is constant, P varies directly with T

D.

T is constant, V varies inversely with P

Correct answer is D

Boyle's law states that the pressure (p) of a given quantity of gas varies inversely with its volume (v) at constant temperature; i.e., in equation form, pv = k, a constant. ...

Which of the following substances can be classified as heavy chemicals?  

A.

CaOCl\(_2\)

B.

H\(_2\)SO\(_4\)

C.

AgNO\(_3\)

D.

CaO

Correct answer is B

-  heavy chemicals are produced and handled in large lots and are often in a crude state.

- Some examples of bulk chemicals are ammonia, sulfuric acid, and sodium hydroxide

-  Fine chemicals are single, pure and complex chemicals that are only produced in small amounts

363.

Consider the following reaction represented by the following equation: C\(_2\)H\(_2\)  \(^{H\(_2\)}_{→}\) X  \(^{H\(_2\)}_{→}\) Y.  X and Y respectively are?

A.

ethane and ethene

B.

ethene and ethane

C.

ethyne and ethene

D.

ethane and ethyne

Correct answer is B

No explanation has been provided for this answer.

364.

which of the following organic compounds has the lowest boiling point?

A.

C\(_6\)H\(_14\)

B.

C\(_5\)H\(_12\)

C.

C\(_4\)H\(_10\)

D.

( CH\(_3\) )\(_3\)

Correct answer is D

- The boiling points of alkanes increase with increasing number of carbons. This is because the intermolecular attractive forces, although individually weak, become cumulatively more significant as the number of atoms and electrons in the molecule increases.

- However; branched alkanes normally exhibit lower boiling points than unbranched alkanes of the same carbon content. This occurs because of the greater van der Waals forces that exist between molecules of the unbranched alkanes

365.

Biotechnology is applied in the? 

A.

treatment of sewage

B.

treatment of water

C.

purification of chemicals

D.

purification of metals

Correct answer is A

There are several wastewater treatment methods based on biotechnology that are used worldwide. It includes Activated Sludge, Oxidation Ponds, Tricking Filters, Bio-filters and Anaerobic treatment. All the methods are part of the biological wastewater treatment and use microbes to treat organic waste in sewage.
