A solid form of $C{O} {2}$ called _______, is produced by supercooling heated $C{O} _{2}$ at extreme pressure in a diamond anvil.

  1. Dry ice

  2. Germania glass

  3. Silica glass

  4. Carbonia glass


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Another form of solid carbon dioxide observed at high pressure is an amorphous glass-like solid. This form of glass, called carbonia, is produced by supercooling heated $C{O} _{2}$ at extreme pressure ($40 48  GPa$ or about $400,000$ atmospheres) in a diamond anvil.
This discovery confirmed the theory that carbon dioxide could exist in a glass state similar to other members of its elemental family, like silicon (silica glass) and germanium dioxide.

Carbondioxide is ____________ in water.

  1. Soluble

  2. Insoluble

  3. Both A and B depending on the place from where $CO _2$ is taken.

  4. None of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Carbon dioxide gas is fairly soluble in water.
Aerated water is a solution of $CO _2$ in water under pressure.

Carbon dioxide is a ____, ______ and ____________ molecule.

  1. colourless, toxic, non-linear

  2. colourless, odourless, linear

  3. colorful, odourless, linear

  4. colourless, odorless, nonlinear


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Carbon dioxide is a colourless, odourless and linear molecule. Its structure can be represented as $O=C=O$ The $O-C-O$ bond angle is 180 $^o$. The carbon atom is $sp$ hybridised.

At temperatures and pressures above the critical point, carbon dioxide behaves as a:

  1. Semiconductor

  2. Supercritical $C{O} _{2}$

  3. $CO$

  4. Dry ice


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Supercritical carbon dioxide is a fluid state of carbon dioxide where it is held at or above its critical temperature and critical pressure. Carbon dioxide usually behaves as a gas in air at standard temperature and pressure (STP), or as a solid called dry ice when frozen. If the temperature and pressure are both increased from STP to be at or above the critical point for carbon dioxide, it can adopt properties midway between a gas and a liquid.

$CO 2$ will form ______ at $-78.5C  \left(-109.3  F\right)$.

  1. Dry ice

  2. Solid ice

  3. Liquid ice

  4. Liquid gas


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

 Gaseous or liquid carbon dioxide, stored under pressure, will form dry ice through an auto-refrigeration process if rapidly de-pressured.

The mass number of oxygen atom is:

  1. 16

  2. 8

  3. 12

  4. 10


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Atomic number = number of protons = 8
Number of neutrons = 8
Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons
So mass number of oxygen = 16

Dissolved air contains a higher percentage of oxygen than ordinary air.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Dissolved air has a higher percentage of oxygen as compared to ordinary air. Air dissolved in water contains 36% oxygen as compared to 21% in air. This is because oxygen in the air has a higher solubility than other elements in air and also there is hydrogen bonding between water and oxygen that increases its solubility.

  1. Greenish white fumes are seen

  2. No effect on NO

  3. Reddish brown fumes comes out

  4. Bluish green fumes comes out


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

When $NO$ mixes with oxygen, reddish brown fumes of $NO _2$ appears.$2 NO _{(g)} + O _{2(g)}\rightarrow 2NO _{2(g)}$

The splint is burnt and is inserted in a jar containing oxygen. What will happen to the glowing splint?

  1. the splint goes off

  2. no effect

  3. rekindles glowing splint

  4. it changes its colour


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Oxygen is a supporter of combustion. Introducing the burning splint will rekindle it.

If dissolved ______ is not present, the aquatic life would die.

  1. Oxygen

  2. Nitrogen

  3. Hydrogen

  4. None of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Dissolved oxygen means the  free or  non-compound oxygen present in water or in  other liquids. Dissolved oxygen is important to many forms of life including fish, bacteria and plants. These organisms use oxygen in respiration, similar to organisms on land. Fishes obtain oxygen for respiration through their gills, while plant life and phytoplankton require dissolved oxygen for respiration when there is no light for photosynthesis.

So the given statement If dissolved oxygen is not present, the aquatic life would die.

Give the characteristic test for $O _{2}$ gas.

  1. Lime water test

  2. Potassium permanganate test

  3. Burning candle test

  4. All of these


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Characteristic test for oxygen ($O _{2}$) can be performed on the basis that oxygen supports burning. Therefore if we bring a burning candle near the source of oxygen, the intensity of the flame increases.

Dry ice on heating converts into:

  4. none of the above


Correct Option: C
Explanation:
Dry ice is the solid state of the gas carbon dioxide.when the pressure under which dry ice is decreased to 1atm it gets converted directly to gas.
Dry ice sublimes on heating i.e. it converts directly into gas.
