Which of the following gases has pungent suffocating odour?

  1. CO

  2. CO2

  3. O2 gas

  4. SO2


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Sulphur dioxide is a colourless gas with a pungent, suffocating odour. It is a dangerous air pollutant because it is corrosive to organic materials and it irritates the eyes, nose and lungs.

Explanation:

SO2 turns potassium permanganate solution pink.

What is the effect of H2S on blood?

  1. It destroys the nucleus of the blood cells.

  2. It destroys the haemoglobin in the blood.

  3. It destroys the plasma membrane of the blood cells.

  4. It reacts with haemoglobin and forms sulphoxy haemoglobin.


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

H2S destroys the haemoglobin in the blood.

Why does newspaper turn yellow on prolong exposure to atmosphere?

  1. Because the newspaper is bleached by SO2, which gets oxidized on prolonged exposure.

  2. Because the ink used to print newspaper reacts with water vapours and turns yellow.

  3. Because the newspaper undergoes reduction on exposure to atmosphere.

  4. Because the material with which newspaper is made reacts with atmospheric gases and turns yellow.


Correct Option: A

Which of the following is a property of HCl gas?

  1. Lighter than air

  2. Soluble in water

  3. Poisonous

  4. Tasteless


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

HCl is a covalent compound and it is a property of covalent compounds that they are soluble in water.

Which of the following is not a characteristic property of H2S?

  1. Rotten eggs smell

  2. Turns lead acetate paper black

  3. Strong oxidizing agent

  4. Decolourises acidified KMnO4 solution


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

H2S acts as a strong oxidising agent.

Which of the following turns lime water milky?

  1. CO

  2. SO2

  3. O2

  4. Cl2


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

SO2 turns lime water milky, so does carbon dioxide.

What is the chemical formula of Oleum?

  1. H2SO4

  2. H2S2O7

  3. Na2SO4.10H2O

  4. SO2Cl2


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

H2S2O7 is the chemical formula of oleum.

Assertion (A): Drinking water is chlorinated. Reason (R): Chlorination makes water transparent, chemically rich and very nutritious.

  1. Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.

  2. Both A and R are true but R is not a correct explanation of A.

  3. A is true but R is false.

  4. A is false but R is true.


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Chlorination is the process which is used to kill certain bacteria and other microbes in water as chlorine is highly toxic. Thus, the given assertion is true, but reason is not correct.

Heavy water is

  1. D2O

  2. H2O along with Ca, Mg, carbonate

  3. H2O2

  4. Sea water (H2O + Salt)


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

D2O is known as heavy water.

At what temperature does the thermal decomposition of H2S complete?

  1. 310°C

  2. 770°C

  3. 1000°C

  4. 273°C


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

At 770°C temperature, the thermal decomposition of H2S is completed.

Which of the following statements is incorrect about sulphuric acid?

  1. It reacts with Barium chloride and forms white precipitates.

  2. It releases SO2 on heating with copper.

  3. It forms H2 gas on heating with NaCl.

  4. It is used in the extraction of metals.


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Statement 3 is incorrect because hydrogen gas does not evolve on reaction with sulphuric acid. The following reaction takes place on reaction between them: NaCl (s) + H2SO4 (l) -------> HCl (g) + NaHSO4 (s)

Which of the following products is formed with glucose when added in H2SO4 solution?

  1. Black spongy mass of carbon rises up

  2. White precipitates settle down

  3. Reddish brown mass rises up

  4. Black precipitates settle down


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

When glucose is added in H2SO4 solution, black spongy mass of carbon rises up.

  1. Scheele

  2. Lavoiser

  3. Daniel Rutherford

  4. Cavendish


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Nitrogen was discovered by Daniel Rutherford.

Which of the following is the boiling point of H2SO4?

  1. 338°C

  2. 770°C

  3. 473°C

  4. 127°C


Correct Option: A

The boiling point of H2SO4 is 338°C.

Which of the following does not react with H2SO4 under any condition?

  1. Na

  2. Fe

  3. Cu

  4. Pt


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Platinum is the most unreactive metal.Thus, it does not react with H2SO4 under any condition.

Substances burn more rapidly in pure oxygen than in air because

  1. air contains helium

  2. air has a lower concentration of oxygen than pure oxygen

  3. air contains methane

  4. air contains ozone


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Substances burn more rapidly in pure oxygen than in air because air has a lower concentration of oxygen than pure oxygen.
