The main constituent of bio-gas is:-

  1. $ CH _4 $

  2. $ CO _2 $

  3. $ H _2 S $

  4. $ H _2 $


Correct Option: A

When a metal carbonate is treated with dilute hydrochloric acid, the gas liberated is:

  1. hydrogen

  2. chlorine

  3. carbon monoxide

  4. carbon dioxide


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

When metal carbonate is treated with dilute hydrochloric acid, the products formed are salt, water and carbon dioxide.

This is a type of neutralization reaction but here an intermediate called as carbonic acid is formed $H _2CO _3$, but it gets split into salt, water and carbon dioxide $(CO _2)$, as the intermediate is unstable.
$CO _2$ gas that is produced causes effervescence or bubbling.
Thus, the correct answer is option (D).

The metal carbonate will form bubbles giving off carbon dioxide gas and the other products namely :

  1. salt and water

  2. water and heat

  3. water and gas

  4. salt and gas


Correct Option: A

Acids liberate sulphur dioxide with metallic sulphides.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Acids liberate sulphur dioxide or hydrogen sulphide on reaction with metallic sulphides.

When are marble chips treated with $HCl$, which of the following gas is liberated?

  1. ${ CO } _{ 2 }$

  2. ${ O } _{ 2 }$

  3. CO

  4. ${ NO } _{ 2 }$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Marble chips are made up of by calcium carbonate. When they are treated with $HCl$, carbon dioxide gas is formed along with water and calcium chloride. ${ CaCO } _{ 3 }+HCl\rightarrow { CaCl } _{ 2 }+{ H } _{ 2 }O+{ CO } _{ 2 }$

Metal carbonates and hydrogen carbonates react with acids to give :

  1. carbon dioxide gas

  2. hydrogen gas

  3. sulphur dioxide gas

  4. carbon monoxide gas


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Carbonates contain carboxylate ion which reacts with mineral acids to form carbon dioxide gas which gets evolved from the reaction mixture.

The chloride salt of a certain weak monoacidic organic base is hydrolysed to an extent of $3$% in its $0.1M$ solution at ${25}^{o}C$. Given that the ionic product of water is ${10}^{-14}$ at this temperature, what is the dissociation constant of the base?

  1. $\approx 1\times { 10 }^{ -10 }$

  2. $\approx 1\times { 10 }^{ -9 }$

  3. $\approx 3.33\times { 10 }^{ -9 }$

  4. $\approx 3.33\times { 10 }^{ -10 }$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

$h = 0.03$, $C = 0.1 M$ , $K _{w} = 10^{-14}$       

We know, $K _{a} = Ch^{2}   $
$\cfrac{K _{w}}{K _{b}} = Ch^{2}    \Rightarrow \cfrac{10^{-14}}{K _{b}} = (0.1)(0.03)^{2} \Rightarrow  \cfrac{10^{-9}}{9} \approx 1 \times 10^{-10}$

A mixture containing one mole of $BaCl _2$ and two moles of $H _2SO _4$ will be neutralized by:

  1. $1$ mole KOH

  2. $4$ mole KOH

  3. $2$ mole KOH

  4. $1$ mole Ca(OH)$ _2$


Correct Option: B

Baking soda turns:

  1. turmeric to red

  2. purple-cabbage juice to green

  3. red litmus to blue

  4. all of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Turmeric, purple cabbage juice (containing anthocyanin), and litmus paper all act as indicators which help us to detect whether a particular substance is acidic or basic.

In basic medium, turmeric changes it's colour to red, purple-cabbage juice turns to green and red litmus turns to blue.
Baking soda/Sodium carbonate $Na _2CO _3$ is basic in nature and thus causes the above changes in the indicators.
Hence, the correct answer is option (D).

China rose indicator is turned green by a certain solution. The solution is:

  1. acidic

  2. basic

  3. neutral

  4. all of these 


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

An indicator is usually a weak acid or a weak base which changes colour in acidic or basic solutions.  The pigment anthocyanin present in the china rose flower makes its solution an indicator.
China rose solution gives dark pink colour with acid and green colour with base.

  1. Hydrochloric acid

  2. Sulphuric acid

  3. Nitric acid

  4. Aqua regia


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Gold,palladium,gallium are all noble metals which are dissolved in aqua regia. It is also known as royal water which is a mixture of hydrochloric acid and nitric acid in the ratio of 3:1 respectively.

Which of the following acid is used in fire extinguishers?

  1. Hydrochloric acid

  2. Sulphuric acid

  3. Nitric acid

  4. Oxalic acid


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Sulphuric acid is non flammable so soda acid is most common fire extinguisher. Carbon dioxide is liberated by the action of sulphuric acid on baking soda or sodium bicarbonate. This increases the percentage of carbon dioxide in air. Due to this the supply of air is cut off and fire is extinguished.

Which of  the following acids is called the king of the acids?

  1. Acetic acid

  2. Phosphoric acid

  3. Oxalic acid

  4. Sulphuric acid


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Sulphuric acid is diprotic acid and shows different properties depending upon its concentration. It is a strong acid and in concentrated form it has strong dehydrating and oxidising properties. It has large number of applications. In almost all industrial processes sulphuric acid is used,in production of lead acid batteries,production of fertilizers,in chemistry labs,petroleum refining and production of paper. So it is called as the king of all acids.

The acid generally stored in batteries is :

  1. sulphuric acid

  2. nitric acid

  3. hydrochloric acid

  4. acetic acid


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Sulphuric acid develops voltage from the chemical reaction produced when two unlike materials such as the positive and negative plates are immersed in the electrolyte a solution of sulphuric acid and water. In typical lead-acid battery the voltage is approx. 2 volts per cell for a total of 12 volts.

Soda-acid fire extinguisher extinguishes the fire by :

  1. cutting the supply of air

  2. removing the combustible substance

  3. raising the ignition temperature

  4. none of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
The principle of working of fire extinguisher is based on either of the following three conditions: 
• cooling the combustible material below its ignition temperature, or 
• cutting off the supply of air, or 
• cooling the combustible material and at the same time cutting the supply of air.
