Chemistry MCQs

Notes:

Zeolite is hydrated Sodium Alumino-silicate capable of exchanging reversible Sodium ions for hardness producing ions in water. It is also use as softening of water. It is used to remove the permanent hardness in water due to Calcium or Magnesium sulphates.

Notes:
According to Charles’s Law, for gases at constant pressure, volume increases with temperature. Heating ozone increases the kinetic energy of molecules, expanding its volume if pressure is constant. Ozone (O₃) behaves like other gases, expanding when heated. This law applies to all ideal gases and ozone approximates ideal behavior under moderate conditions.

Notes:
Group 11 elements, which include copper, silver, and gold, have been known since ancient times. These elements are found in the Earth’s crust in a free or native state, due to their low reactivity compared to other elements. This is why these elements were used by ancient civilizations for crafting tools, jewelry, and early forms of money.

Notes:
Under standard conditions, Graphite is the most stable form of carbon. It is commonly used in pencils and lubricants due to its layered structure. These layers can move over each other, making graphite soft and slippery. Besides Graphite, other forms of carbon are diamond, charcoal, and amorphous carbon, each with unique properties and applications.

Notes:
A baby diaper can absorb the maximum quantity of distilled water as it lacks impurities such as minerals and ions that are present in other type of water. The absorbent materials in diapers, often polymers called sodium polyacrylate, can hold up to 30 times their weight in distilled water, making them highly efficient.

Notes:
A the s-orbital can accommodate only two electrons, two groups (1 & 2) belong to the s-block of the Periodic Table.

Notes:
Ionization energy is the quantity of energy required to remove loosely bound electron from an atom.

Notes:
Of the alkaline earth metals calcium and magnesium rank fifth and sixth in abundance respectively in the earth’s crust. Strontium and barium have much lower abundances. Beryllium is rare and radium is the rarest of all comprising only 10^–10 per cent of igneous rocks.

Notes:
Sodium carbonate is commonly known as Washing soda. Sodium Hydrogencarbonate is commonly known as Caustic soda. Ethanoic acid is commonly known as Acetic acid. calcium oxychloride is commonly known Bleaching powder.

Notes:
A solution of iodine in alcohol known as ‘tincture of iodine’, has iodine (solid) as the solute and alcohol (liquid) as the solvent.
