  1. conversion of ice in water.

  2. conversion of water into water vapours.

  3. conversion of water vapours into the water.

  4. freezing of water into ice.

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

When water is heated it absorbs energy and changes its state from liquid (water) to gas(water vapours). This process of converting water in vapours is known as vaporisation.

Effervescence is seen when a bottle of soda water is opened.

chemistry the s-block elements (alkali and alkaline earth metals) common salt some useful compounds in everyday life salts and their properties

  1. True

  2. False

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The liquid in the soda bottle is under high pressure. When you open the bottle, the dissolved carbon dioxide is depressurized and wants to rapidly expand. Thus effervescence is seen when a bottle of soda is opened.

Bleaching powder is made up of :

  1. lime and chlorine

  2. soda ash and chlorine

  3. chlorine and charcoal

  4. none of these

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Calcium hydroxide on reaction with chlorine produces bleaching powder.

Quantitatively, formula represents:

chemistry atoms, molecules and radicals molecular formula and valency valency and chemical formulae combining capacity and chemical formulae

  1. One molecule of the substance.

  2. The actual number of atoms of each element in one molecule of the substance.

  3. The number of parts by weight of the substance (molecular weight).

  4. The number of parts by weight of each element.

Show answer
Correct Option: A,B,C,D
Explanation:

(A) One molecule of the substance

$\longrightarrow$ example $NaCl,C _2H _5OH$

(B) The actual number of atoms of each element in one molecule of the substance.
$\longrightarrow$ example $H _2O$ [water]
It shows that water contains $2$ atoms of hydrogen and $1$ atom of oxygen.

(C) The number by parts by weight of the substance [molecular weight]
$\longrightarrow$ Molecular weight can be determined by chemical formula as shown below:-
$CO _2$
one atom of carbon $\times$ mass of carbon + $2$ atoms of oxygen $\times$ mass of oxygen
$=1\times 12+2\times 16$
$=12+32$
$=44g/mol$.

(D) The number of parts by weight of each element $\longrightarrow$ example (1) $C _2H _5OH$ [ethanol] Molecular mass= $46$
(i) Each mole of ethanol contains $2$ moles of carbon
$=12\times2$
$=24g$
(ii) $1$ mole of oxygen atom
$=16\times 1$
$=16g$
(iii) $6$ moles of hydrogen atom
$=1\times 6$
$=6g$
These are present in $46g$ of ethanol
$\therefore$ Percentage of carbon=$\cfrac {24}{46}\times 100=52.17$%
Percentage of oxygen=$\cfrac {16}{46}\times 100=34.78$%
Percentage of hydrogen=$\cfrac {6}{46}\times 100=13.05$%

The formula of iron (III) sulphate is:

chemistry atoms, molecules and radicals molecular formula and valency valency and chemical formulae combining capacity and chemical formulae

  1. $Fe _3CO _4$

  2. $Fe _2(SO _4) _3$

  3. $Fe _2(CO _4) _3$

  4. $FeCO _4$

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

It is given that the valency of iron in iron sulphate is $+3$ and we know that for sulphate $({SO _4}^{2-})$, it is $-2$. Therefore, the formula is $Fe _2(SO _4) _3$.


$2Fe^{+3} +3{SO _4}^{-2} \rightarrow Fe _2(SO _4) _3$
                                  Iron (III) sulphate

Hence, option B is correct.

Two oxides of a metal contain 30.0% and 27.6 % of oxygen respectively. If the formula of the first oxide is $M _3O _4$, the formula of the second oxide, is

chemistry atoms, molecules and radicals molecular formula and valency valency and chemical formulae combining capacity and chemical formulae

  1. $M _2O _3$

  2. $M _4O _3$

  3. $M _3O _4$

  4. $M _3O _2$

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Formula of first oxide = $M _3O _4$ 
let mass of the metal be = x
percentage of metal in $\displaystyle M _3O _4 = \frac{3x}{ 3x+64}\times100$
but % age = (100-27.6) = 72.4 %
so, $\displaystyle \frac{3x}{ 3x+64}\times100$
or x = 56.
in 2nd oxide,
oxygen = 30%....so metal = 70%
so, ratio :--
M : O
70/56 : 30/16
1.25 : 1.875
2 : 3
so, 2nd oxide =$ M _2O _3$
