Which of the following statements is/are false: a. A solution of sulphuric acid or hydrochloric acid in water conducts electricity. b. The materials that do not allow electric current to pass through them are called poor conductors of electricity. c. A solution of copper sulphate or sodium chloride in water will not conduct electricity.

  1. Only a

  2. Only a and b

  3. Only b

  4. Only b and c

  5. Only c


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Statement ‘c’ is a false statement. Thus, it is the correct option. A compound that allows electric current to pass through itself, when either in a molten state or in an aqueous solution, is called an electrolyte. Solutions of sodium chloride, copper sulphate, dilute sulphuric acid are examples of strong electrolytes. Statement ‘b’ is a correct statement. But, statement ‘c’ is a false statement. Thus, it is a wrong option. A solution of copper sulphate or sodium chloride in water will conduct electricity because they are basic in nature.

Which of the following metals are produced by passing electric current through their compounds in molten state?

A. Aluminium

B. Copper

C. Magnesium

D. Iron

  1. A and B

  2. B and C

  3. C and D

  4. A and C

  5. B and D


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

This is the correct option. Aluminium metal is produced by the electrolysis of molten aluminium oxide. Magnesium metal is produced by the electrolysis of molten magnesium oxide.

Which of the following solutions is a good conductor of electricity?

  1. Glucose solution

  2. Lemon juice

  3. Alcohol solution

  4. Distilled water

  5. Vegetable oil


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

This is the correct option. Lemon juice contains citric acid, which is a good conductor of electricity.

Which of the following statements is/are false: a. In a solid like copper metal, electricity is carried by electrons but in a liquid like copper sulphate solution, electricity is carried by copper and sulphate ions. b. If electricity is passed through a solid or a liquid, then no chemical change takes place. c. The liquids which conduct electricity are called conducting liquids.

  1. Only a

  2. Only a and b

  3. Only b

  4. Only b and c

  5. Only c


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Statement ‘b’ is a false statement. Thus, it is the correct option. If electricity is passed through a solid, then no chemical change takes place. But, when electricity is passed through a liquid, then a chemical change takes place. For example, when electricity is passed through a copper wire, no chemical change takes place in it but when electricity is passed through acidified water, then a chemical change takes place in which water is decomposed into hydrogen and oxygen gases.

Which of the following is/are methods to make distilled water conduct electricity? a. By dissolving some common salt in it. b. By adding acid like dilute sulphuric acid in it c. By adding base like sodium hydroxide in it.

  1. Only a

  2. Only a and b

  3. Only b

  4. Only b and c

  5. a, b and c


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

This is the correct option as all of the above methods can be used to make distilled water conduct electricity.

Which of the following statements is/are false: a. Electrolytes are better conductors of electricity than the metals. b. An arrangement with two electrodes, that is kept in a conducting liquid in a vessel is called an electrolytic cell. c. A strong electrolyte is a solution which conducts electricity very well because it contains a lot of ions in it.

  1. Only a

  2. Only a and b

  3. Only b

  4. Only b and c

  5. Only c


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Statement 'a' is a false statement. Thus, it is the correct option. Electrolytes are not as good conductors of electricity as are the metals because electrolytes have lesser ions as compared to solids which have more electrons.

If an electric current is passed through acidified water by using carbon electrodes, then a chemical reaction takes place to form ________________ and oxygen.

  1. methane

  2. hydrogen

  3. nitrogen

  4. helium

  5. carbon dioxide


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

This is the correct option. If an electric current is passed through acidified water by using carbon electrodes, then a chemical reaction takes place to form hydrogen and oxygen.

Which of the following is the strongest electrolyte?

  1. Rain water

  2. Carbonic acid solution

  3. Acetic acid solution

  4. Citric acid solution

  5. Hydrochloric acid solution


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

This is the correct option. Hydrochloric acid solution is the strongest electrolyte as it contains a lot of positively and negatively charged ions in it to carry electricity.

Which of the following is/are the conditions that should be taken into consideration while electroplating? a. The metal object on which electroplating is to be done should be made using the negative electrode. b. The metal whose layer is to be deposited should be made using the positive electrode. c.
