What mass of water is produced when 8.0g of hydrogen reacts with excess oxygen?
8.0g
16.0g
36.0g
72.0g
Correct answer is D
2H\(_2\) + O\(_2\) ⇒ 2H\(_2\)O
From the equation:
4g of Hydrogen produces 36g of water
: 8g of Hydrogen will produce 72g of water
The chlorinated alkane often used industrially to remove grease is?
Tetrachloromethane
Chloromethane
Trichloromethane
Dichloromethane
Correct answer is A
Tetrachloromethane ( carbon tetrachloride) is an effective solvent within the chemical industry and is used to clean machinery and electrical equipment.
I.e as a solvent for oils, fats, lacquers, varnishes, rubber waxes, and resins, and as a grain fumigant.
The substance often used for vulcanization of rubber is?
Chlorine
Hydrogen peroxide
Sulphur
Tetraoxosulphate(vi) acid
Correct answer is C
One of the several uses of sulfur is for the vulcanization of rubber.
Alkene
Alkanal
Alkanone
Alkanoic Acid
Correct answer is A
Alkanone & alkanal react with HCN to form compounds known as cyanohyderins. They also react with hydroxylamine to form oximes.
Which of the following types of bonding does not involve the formation of new substances?
Metallic
Covalent
Co-ordinate
Electrovalent
Correct answer is A
Metallic bond does not involve the formation of a new substance. It is responsible for several characteristic properties of metals such as their shiny lustre, their malleability, and their conductivities for heat and electricity
