Correct Option: A

Which technique should be used to determine if a solution contains a molecular or ionic solute?

  1. Conductivity

  2. Calorimetry

  3. Precipitation

  4. Spectophotometry


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The presence of ionic solute in a solution can be determined by measuring its conductivity because ions are good conductor of electricity.

  1. Reduction by carbon

  2. Electrolysis of ore

  3. A Roasting of ore in $O _2$

  4. Magnetic separation


Correct Option: B

Conductivity ($\kappa $) of $0.01M$ $NaCl$ solution is $0.000145S$ ${cm}^{-1}$. What happens to the conductivity if extra $100mL$ of ${H} _{2}O$ be added to the above solution?

  1. Decreases

  2. Increases

  3. Remains unchanged

  4. First increase and then decrease


Correct Option: A

Which of the following is/are always true electroplating ?

  1. Copper is used as cathode

  2. Cathode always gins weight while anode always loses weight

  3. Iron is coated with nickel or chromium to prevent from rusting.

  4. Ammeter reading during. electroplating steadily decreases.


Correct Option: A
Assertion: The conductance of electrolyte solution increases with temperature.
Reason: With increase of temperature the ionic mobility increases.
  1. Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion

  2. Both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion

  3. Assertion is true but Reason is false

  4. Assertion is false but Reason is true

  5. Both Assertion and Reason are false


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

With increase of temperature the ionic mobility increases.

Arrange the following complexes in order of increasing electrical conductivity.
(I) $[CoCl _3(NH _3) _3]$     (II) $[CoCl(NH _3) _5]CI _2$
(III) $[Co(NH _3) _6]Cl _3$   (IV) $[CoCl _2(NH _3) _]1Cl$ 

  1. III > II > IV > I

  2. II > III > IV > I

  3. II > III > I > IV

  4. III > IV > II > I


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Electrical conductivity $\times $ no. / moles of ions present after dissociation.

$I$ $\therefore \quad \left[ Co{ Cl } _{ 3 }{ \left( { NH } _{ 3 } \right)  } _{ 3 } \right] $
$II$  $\left[ CoCl{ \left( { NH } _{ 3 } \right)  } _{ 5 } \right] { Cl } _{ 2 }\rightarrow { \left[ CoCl{ \left( { NH } _{ 3 } \right)  } _{ 5 } \right]  }^{ 2+ }+2{ Cl }^{ \left( - \right)  }$
$IV$  $\left[ Co{ Cl } _{ 2 }{ \left( { NH } _{ 3 } \right)  } _{ 4 } \right] Cl\rightarrow { \left[ Co{ Cl } _{ 2 }{ \left( { NH } _{ 3 } \right)  } _{ 4 } \right]  }^{ + }+{ Cl }^{ \left( - \right)  }$
$III$  ${ \left[ Co{ \left( { NH } _{ 3 } \right)  } _{ 6 } \right] Cl } _{ 3 }\rightarrow { \left[ Co{ \left( { NH } _{ 3 } \right)  } _{ 6 } \right]  }^{ 3+ }+3{ Cl }^{ \left( - \right)  }$
Hence the correct answer is,
$\boxed { III>II>IV>I } $

The electric conduction of a salt solution in water depends on the:

  1. shape of molecules

  2. size of its molecules

  3. size of solvent molecules

  4. extent of its ionisation


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Higher the number of ions in solution, higher would be the conductivity of the solution as the number of charge carriers would increase. Hence, higher the degree of ionization greater would be the number of ions in solution.

Kim Istry was tired and thirsty after her soccer game, so she drank a sports drink that contained electrolytes. Kim is smart girl who known that when electrolytes dissolve in water, they produce solutions that can conduct an electric current. She also knows that the type of bonding in a substance can determined whether or not it is an electrolyte.
Which of the following substances is classified as an electrolyte?

  1. Sodium chloride, $NaCl$

  2. Glucose, $C _{6}H _{12}O _{6}$

  3. Water, $H _{2}O$

  4. Ethanol, $C _{2}H _{5}OH$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The electrolyte present in sports drink is sodium chloride.

Conductivity of aqueous solution of an electrolyte depends on:

  1. molecular mass of the electrolyte

  2. boiling point of solvent

  3. degree of ionisation

  4. volume of the solvent


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Conductivity of an aqueous solution depends on degree of ionization of solute. More is the degree of ionization more will be conductivity. Second, important factor on which conductivity depend is temperature.
