Questions Related to objects that float or sink

Select a pair of solute and solvent materials to form solution:

chemistry nature of things objects that float or sink substances that sink or float soluble and insoluble substances

  1. Chalk powder and water

  2. Alcohol and water

  3. Milk and oil

  4. Glass and water

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

In general, organic compounds are insoluble in water. Though alcohol is an organic compound it is soluble in water due to hydrogen bonding. 

Find odd one out on the basis of the solubility of the material.

chemistry nature of things objects that float or sink substances that sink or float soluble and insoluble substances

  1. Sugar

  2. Salt

  3. Chalk

  4. Wood

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Wood is not at all soluble in water whereas sugar and salt are soluble and chalk $(CaCO _3)$ is slightly soluble in water.

Which of the following floats on water?

chemistry nature of things objects that float or sink substances that sink or float soluble and insoluble substances

  1. Air filled tube of a tyre

  2. A sharpener

  3. A stone

  4. A chain

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Air filled tube floats on water as it contain air and which is very less dense than water.

The EMF of the cell: Ag, AgCl in $0.1 M - KCl \parallel$ satd. $ NH _{4}NO _{3}\parallel 0.1 M - Ag NO _{3},$ Ag is 0.42 V at $ 25^{\circ}C.$ 0.1 M-KCl is 50% dissociated and $0.1 M - Ag NO _{3}$ is 40% dissociated. The solubility product of $ AgCl $ is $ (2.303 RT/F = 0.0)$

Correct Option: D

Maximum of 9.72 g of potassium chloride dissolves in 30 g of water at $70^{\circ}$C. The solubility of potassium chloride at $70^{\circ} C$ is:

chemistry nature of things objects that float or sink substances that sink or float soluble and insoluble substances

  1. 3.24 g

  2. 32.4 g

  3. 0.324 g

  4. 33.4 g

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Solubility is defined as solubility of different substances in grams per 100 gm of water.
30 gm of water dissolves 9.72 g of $KCl$.
So, 100gm will dissolve in $9.72\times 100/30=32.4$ gm.

chemistry nature of things objects that float or sink substances that sink or float soluble and insoluble substances

  1. A maximum of 20.7 grams of copper sulphate can be dissolved in 100 ml water at a temperature $20^{\circ}$C.

  2. A maximum of 20.7 grams of copper sulphate can be dissolved in 100 g of water at $20^{\circ}$C.

  3. A maximum of 20.7 grams of copper sulphate can be dissolved in 79.3 g of water at $20^{\circ}$C.

  4. A maximum of 20.7 grams of copper sulphate can be dissolved in 79.3 ml of water at $20^{\circ}$C.

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Solubility is given in grams per 100 gm of water with temperature and 1 atmospheric pressure.

In the solvation of $NaCl$ in water, which of the following occur ?

chemistry nature of things objects that float or sink substances that sink or float soluble and insoluble substances

  1. Hydrogen atom interacts with $Cl^-$ atom

  2. Oxygen atom interacts with $Na^+$ atom

  3. Both $A$ and $B$

  4. None of these

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

In the water molecule oxygen has higher electronegativity than hydrogen thus has a partial negative charge and hydrogen has a partial positive charge. So during the solvation of NaCl in water, hydrogen atoms interact with chlorine anion and oxygen interact with sodium cation.

______ is the chief component of natural gas.

chemistry nature of things objects that float or sink substances that sink or float soluble and insoluble substances

  1. Ethane

  2. Methane

  3. Propane

  4. Butane

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Natural gas is a fossil fuel. It is used for cooking, heating and electricity generation. It is found deep underground rock formation. It is a naturally occurring hydrocarbon gas mixture consisting primarily of methane. It is also used as fuel for vehicles.
