Which of the following does NOT form an acidic salt?

  1. Phosphoric acid

  2. Carbonic acid

  3. Hydrochloric acid

  4. Sulphuric


Correct Option: B

Lime water + sulphuric acid $\rightarrow$

  1. Heat + Calcium sulphate

  2. Water + Heat

  3. Calcium sulphate + Water + Heat

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Lime water/calcium hydroxide $Ca(OH) _2$ is a strong base and sulphuric acid $H _2SO _4$ is a strong acid as they undergo complete dissociation in solution.

When acid and base react with each other, the base neutralizes the acid, leading to the formation of salt and water.
This reaction is known as neutralization reaction and it is exothermic in nature (since heat is released due to formation of new bonds in the reaction).
Thus, more stronger the acid and the base, more amount of heat is released.
$Ca(OH) _2 + H _2SO _4 \rightarrow CaSO _4+2H _2O + Heat$.
Hence, the correct answer is option (C).

Which technique produces a compound which is not soluble in water?

  1. Conductivity

  2. Calorimetry

  3. Precipitation

  4. Spectrophotometry


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

A reaction occurs when you mix two aqueous solutions. This is when you will find out whether a precipitate will form or not. A precipitate forms if the product of the reaction is insoluble in water.

Precipitation occurs when cations and anions in the aqueous solution combine to form an insoluble ionic solid called a precipitate.
Conductivity is the property to conduct electricity, calorimetry is the process of measuring the heat of chemical reactions and spectrophotometry is the measurement of reflection or transmission properties of the material as a function of wavelength.
Since precipitation produces a compound which is not soluble in water, the correct answer is the option (C).

When the aqueous solution of silver nitrate and sodium chloride are mixed, a________ precipitate is immediately formed.

  1. yellow

  2. white

  3. red

  4. black


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

When silver nitrate $(AgNO _3)$ reacts with sodium chloride $(NaCl)$ a white precipitate of silver chloride $(AgCl)$ is formed which is highly insoluble in water, along with formation of sodium nitrate $(NaNO _3)$.

Since $(AgCl)$ is insoluble in water it will precipitate out and $(NaNO _3)$ is soluble in water so it will remain dissolved in the mixture. This reaction is an example of double displacement reaction and it occurs as follows:-
$AgNO _3\ +\ NaCl \rightarrow AgCl\ +\ NaNO _3 $
Hence, the correct answer is the option (B).

${ H } _{ 3 }{ PO } _{ 4 }$ is a tribasic acid and one of its salt is $Na{ H } _{ 2 }{ PO } _{ 4 }$. What volume of 1M NaOH solution should be added to 12g $Na{ H } _{ 2 }{ PO } _{ 4 }$ to convert it into $Na _{ 3 }{ PO } _{ 4 }$? (at.wt of P=31)

  1. 100 mL

  2. 200 mL

  3. 80 mL

  4. 300 mL


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

$NaH _2PO _4$ + $ 2 NaOH $ $ \rightarrow Na _3PO _4 + H _2O $

From the above reaction we can say that,
1 mol of $NaH _2PO _4$ reacts with 2 mol of NaOH.
Molar mass of $NaH _2PO _4$  = 120 g / mol
12g of $NaH _2PO _4$ contains = 0.1 mol
So the number of moles of NaOH required = 0.2 mol
Molarity of NaOH = 1M
1 mol = 1000 ml
0.2 mol = ?
So, the volume of 1M NaOH solution = 200 ml

Which of the following has the highest melting point ?

  1. $BeCl _2$

  2. $LiCl$

  3. $AlCl _3$

  4. $NaCl$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Sodium and magnesium chlorides are solids with high melting and boiling points because of the large amount of heat which is needed to break the strong ionic attractions.
$NaCl$ having the highest melting point as the ionic bond is too strong between $Na$ and $Cl$.

Equal volumes of $1\ M$ $HCl$ and $1\ M$ $H _2SO _4$ are neutralized by dilute NaOH solution liberating $x$ kcal and $y$ kcal heat. Which of the following is correct?

  1. $x=y$

  2. $x=0.5y$

  3. $x=0.4y$

  4. None of these


Correct Option: B
Explanation:
Reaction involved are:
$HCl+NaOH \rightarrow NaCl+H _2O, \Delta H _1=xkcal$
$H _2SO _4+2NaOH \rightarrow Na _2SO _4+2H _2O, \Delta H _1=ykcal$
(i) acid-base neutralization reaction for HCl is represented as:
$H^++OH^- \rightarrow H _2O, \Delta H _1=xkcal$
(ii) acid-base neutralization reaction for $H _2SO _4$ is represented as:
$2H^++2OH^- \rightarrow 2H _2O, \Delta H _1=ykcal$
since reaction (ii) is twice of reaction (i), so is the enthalpies
thus $2x=y$
or $x=0.5y$

$Na _2O+2HCl\rightarrow \ ?$

  1. $NaOH+H _2$

  2. $2NaCl+H _2O$

  3. $NaOH+Cl _2$

  4. $2NaCl+O _2$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

When any element who comes before hydrogen in the reactivity series reacts with a compound containing hydrogen, it displaces the hydrogen from the compound, since it's reactivity is more than that of hydrogen.

Here, $Na _2O$ is a basic metal oxide containing Na which is more reactive than the Hydrogen present in the acid $HCl$ and thus the Na replaces hydrogen from the acid, leading to the formation of salt and water.
Salt and water are formed because the reaction takes place between acidic and basic species.
$Na _2O+2HCl \rightarrow 2NaCl+H _2O$
Hence, the correct answer is option (B).

  2. $(cH^+)(VH^+) / (cOH^-)(VOH^-) = 1$

  3. $(cH^+)(VH^+) / (cOH^-)(VOH^-) = -log:( pH)$

  4. $-log (cH^+)(VH^+) = pH$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

You determine the concentration of the unknown substance from the titration data by using the following equation
$\displaystyle  (cH^+)(VH^+) = (cOH^-)(VOH^-)$
$\displaystyle  (cH^+)  $  represents hydrogen ion concentration or acid concentration.
$\displaystyle   (VH^+) $ represents volume of acid solution.
$\displaystyle   (cOH^-)  $  represents hydroxide ion concentration (or base solution concentration).
$\displaystyle   (VOH^-)$  represents volume of base solution.

What is the state of a precipitated compound?

  1. $(l)$

  2. $(g)$

  3. $(aq)$

  4. $(s)$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Precipitation is the formation of solid from a solution. When the reaction occurs in a liquid solution, the solid formed is called the 'precipitate'. The chemical that causes the solid to form is called the 'precipitant'.

Which type of reaction produces precipitates which are ionic compounds?

  1. Decomposition

  2. Double Replacement

  3. Synthesis

  4. Single Replacement


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Double replacement reactions, also called as double displacement, exchange or metathesis reactions occur when parts of ionic compounds are exchanged, making two new compounds.

However, if during this reaction, a product is formed such that it is insoluble in water then it leads to precipitation of the product. There is a formation of an insoluble mass at the bottom of the test tube which is known as the precipitate. 
An example of the double replacement reaction where an ionic compound is precipitated is:-
$BaCl _2+Na _2SO _4 \rightarrow BaSO _4+2NaCl$
Here, $BaSO _4$ is an ionic product that forms an insoluble white mass as it is insoluble in water.
Hence, the correct answer is the option (B).

The alum hydrate was added to the crucible until the total mass of the crucible and hydrate was $24.75\ g$. The sample was heated in the crucible until the final mass of the crucible and anhydrous product was $22.5\ g$.
What is the value of x?

  1. $2$

  2. $3$

  3. $12$

  4. $18$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Mass of crucible Hydrate $=24.75$

Mass of hydrate $=24.75-20.01=4.74$ $g$
Mass of anhydrate $=22.5-20.01=2.49$ $g$
$KAl(SO _3) _2\cdot xH _2O\longrightarrow KAl(SO _3) _2+xH _2O$
Mass: $(18x+226)$ $g$          Mass $=226$ $g$
$(226+18x)$ $g$ $\overset {gives}{\longrightarrow}$ $226$ $g$
$4.74$ $g$ $\overset {gives}{\longrightarrow}$ $2.49$ $g$
$\cfrac{226+18x}{4.74g}=\cfrac{226}{2.49}$
$x\approx 12$

Where does the equivalence point occur on a titration curve for a strong acid/strong base titration?

  1. At the endpoint, after pH 7.

  2. At pH 7, in the middle of the dramatic slope.

  3. At the very end of titration, between pH 10-12.

  4. Before the slope increases dramatically, between pH 2 and 4.


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The equivalence point occur at pH 7, in the middle of the dramatic slope,
on a titration curve for a strong acid/strong base titration.
At the equivalence point, the salt of strong acid and strong base is completely hydrolyzed which gives a neutral solution with pH 7 as hydrogen ion concentration is equal to hydroxide ion concentration.
