What is valency of hydroxide in calcium hydroxide molecule?

  1. � 2

  2. � 1

  3. 2

  4. 1

Explanation:

Ca(OH)2Calcium has + 2 valeny and OH has - 1 valency.

Which of the following is the name of NaClO2?

  1. Sodium chlorate

  2. Sodium chloride

  3. Sodium chlorite

  4. Sodium per chlorate


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Suffix ‘ite’ is used, if number of oxygen atoms is less. Suffix ‘ate’ is used, if number of oxygen atoms is more. Sodium chlorite has formula NaClO2, while formula of sodium chlorate is NaClO3.

What is the valency of sulphur in SO2?

  1. 2

  2. 6

  3. 4

  4. 3

  5. 8


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Valency of oxide is - 2. In SO2, valency of sulphur is calculated as x + 2(-2) = 0 x = 4

Which of the following equations is balanced?

  1. $KNO_3$ $\to$ $KNO_2$ + $O_2$

  2. $2KNO_3$ $\to$ $2KNO_2$ + O

  3. $2KNO_3$ $\to$ $KNO_2$ + $2O_2$

  4. $2KNO_3$ $\to$ $2KNO_2$ + $O_2$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

In option (4), number of atoms on both the sides of the equation is the same. 

Which of the following laws states that matter is neither created nor destroyed in the course of a chemical reaction?

  1. Law of conservation of matter

  2. Law of chemical reaction

  3. Law of composition of matter

  4. Law of balanced equation


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Law of conservation of matter states that matter is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction.

What information cannot be derived from a chemical equation?

  1. Relative molecular masses of different substances

  2. Law of indestructibility of matter

  3. Concentration of reactants and products

  4. Quantity of reactants taking part and products formed


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Chemical reaction does not tell about Concentration of reactants and products. It is the limitation of a chemical equation. 

What information is conveyed by the following equation? CaCO3 + 2HCl $\to$ CaCl2 + H2O + CO2

  1. Rate of reaction

  2. Concentration of the reactants

  3. Amount of products formed

  4. Physical states of reactants and products


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

100 gm of CaCO3 reacts with 73g of HCl and produces 111g of CaCl2, 18g of H2O and 44g of CO2.

Which of the following is a balanced chemical equation for the following reaction? Sodium hydroxide + sulphuric acid $\to$ Sodium sulphate + water

  1. $Na OH_2 + H_2SO_4 \to Na_2SO_4 + 2H_2O$

  2. 2NaOH + $2H_2SO_4$ $\to$ $2Na_2SO_4$ + $2H_2O$

  3. 2NaOH + $H_2SO_4$ $\to$ $Na_2SO_4$ + $2H_2O$

  4. 2NaOH + $H_2SO_4$ $\to$ $Na_2SO_4$ + $H_2O$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Na, O, S and H are balanced on both sides.

Which of the following equations follows 'Law of conservation of matter'?

  1. $KNO_3$ $\to$ $KNO_2$ + $O_2$

  2. $K_2Cr_2O_7$ + 14HCl $\to$ 2KCl + $CrCl_3$ + $7H_2O$ + $3Cl_2$

  3. $2Pb\left(NO_ 3\right)_ 2 \to 2PbO + 4NO_2 + O_2$

  4. 2NaOH + $H_2SO_4$ $\to$ $Na_2SO_4$ + $2H_2O$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

In option (3), quantity of reactants is equal to quantity of products formed.

What is true about $CO_2$ in the reaction? $CaCO_3$ + 2HCl $\to$ $CaCl_2$ + $H_2O$ + $CO_2$
