B Correct answer
Explanation

$N(SiH _3) _3$ is planar due to back bonding and $N(CH _3) _3$ more basic due to presence of lone pair electrons.

Multiple choice chemistry basic concepts of chemistry law of multiple proportion law of multiple proportions laws of chemical combination

Which one of the following pairs of compounds illustrates the law of multiple proportions?

  1. $H _{2}O$, $Na _{2}O$
  2. $MgO$, $Na _{2}O$
  3. $Na _{2}O$, $BaO$
  4. $SnCl _{2}$, $SnCl _{4}$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

The law of multiple proportions say that if two elementsform more than one compounds between them, then the ratios of the masses of the second element which combine with a fixed mass of the first element will be ratios of small whole numbers. In $SnCl _2$ and $SnCl _4$, the ratio of the weight of Cl reacting with a constant weight of Sn is 2:1.

The number of possible enantiometric pairs that can be produced during monochorination of 2-methyl butane is:

  1. 2

  2. 3

  3. 4

  4. 1

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Monochlorination of 2-methylbutane can occur at four different carbon positions. The products formed at the chiral center (C2) result in a pair of enantiomers. The other positions do not create new chiral centers in this specific molecule, resulting in 2 enantiomeric pairs total.

Kerosene oil is a mixture of hydrocarbons which contains the number of carbon atoms is:

  1. $C _6$ to $C _{10}$
  2. $C _8$ to $C _{12}$
  3. $C _{11}$ to $C _{16}$
  4. $C _{18}$ to $C _{22}$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Kerosene is a mixture of hydrocarbons. The chemical composition depends on its source of isolation, usually, it consists of about 10 different hydrocarbons, each containing 11 to 16 carbon atoms per molecule. 

The main constituents are saturated straight-chain and branched-chain hydrocarbons which are also called as paraffin, as well as ring-shaped cycloparaffins which are also known as naphthenes. Kerosene is less volatile liquid than gasoline.

Petrol is a mixture of hydrocarbons with ______ carbon atoms.

  1. 2 to 5

  2. 5 to 9

  3. 5 to 7

  4. 4 to 6

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation
  • Petroleum is a very complex mixture of hydrocarbons-compounds that consist of carbon and hydrogen only. Small amounts of other organic compounds containing oxygen, sulfur, nitrogen, phosphorus, and other elements are also present.
  • Petroleum is a mixture of a very large number of different hydrocarbons; the most commonly found molecules are alkanes (paraffin), cycloalkanes (naphthenes), aromatic hydrocarbons, or more complicated chemicals like asphaltenes.
  • This mixture of hydrocarbons generally has 5 to 9 carbon atoms.
  • Hence option B is a correct answer.

Cycloalkanes are isomeric with

  1. Alkenes

  2. Alkanes

  3. Alkynes

  4. Arenes

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Cycloalkanes are isomeric with alkenes because they have the same general formula CnH2n but possessing different structures, shows ring chain isomerism. Example- cyclohexane $(C _6H _12)$ and hexene $(C _6H _12)$ are ring chain isomers.
