D Correct answer
Explanation

Gold,palladium,gallium are all noble metals which are dissolved in aqua regia. It is also known as royal water which is a mixture of hydrochloric acid and nitric acid in the ratio of 3:1 respectively.

Which of the following acid is used in fire extinguishers?

  1. Hydrochloric acid

  2. Sulphuric acid

  3. Nitric acid

  4. Oxalic acid
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Sulphuric acid is non flammable so soda acid is most common fire extinguisher. Carbon dioxide is liberated by the action of sulphuric acid on baking soda or sodium bicarbonate. This increases the percentage of carbon dioxide in air. Due to this the supply of air is cut off and fire is extinguished.

Which of  the following acids is called the king of the acids?

  1. Acetic acid

  2. Phosphoric acid

  3. Oxalic acid

  4. Sulphuric acid
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Sulphuric acid is diprotic acid and shows different properties depending upon its concentration. It is a strong acid and in concentrated form it has strong dehydrating and oxidising properties. It has large number of applications. In almost all industrial processes sulphuric acid is used,in production of lead acid batteries,production of fertilizers,in chemistry labs,petroleum refining and production of paper. So it is called as the king of all acids.

The acid generally stored in batteries is :

  1. sulphuric acid

  2. nitric acid

  3. hydrochloric acid

  4. acetic acid
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Sulphuric acid develops voltage from the chemical reaction produced when two unlike materials such as the positive and negative plates are immersed in the electrolyte a solution of sulphuric acid and water. In typical lead-acid battery the voltage is approx. 2 volts per cell for a total of 12 volts.

Soda-acid fire extinguisher extinguishes the fire by :

  1. cutting the supply of air

  2. removing the combustible substance

  3. raising the ignition temperature

  4. none of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation
The principle of working of fire extinguisher is based on either of the following three conditions: 
• cooling the combustible material below its ignition temperature, or 
• cutting off the supply of air, or 
• cooling the combustible material and at the same time cutting the supply of air. 

Multiple choice chemistry acids and alkalis acids with carbonates reactions of acids and bases properties of acids and bases

$Ca(HCO _{3}) _{2} + 2HCl \rightarrow $

  1. $CaCl _{2} + 2H _{2}O + 2CO _{2}$
  2. $2CaCl _{2} + 2H _{2}O + 2CO _{2}$
  3. $CaCl _{2} + 4H _{2}O + 2CO _{2}$
  4. $CaCl _{2} + 2H _{2}O + 4CO _{2}$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

$Ca(HCO _{3}) _{2} + 2HCl \rightarrow CaCl _{2} + 2H _{2}O + 2CO _{2}$ 

Metal carbonates react with  acids to give salt, carbon dioxide and water.

Multiple choice chemistry acids and alkalis acids with carbonates reactions of acids and bases properties of acids and bases

Acids react with carbonate and bicarbonates to liberate $CO _{2}$.

  1. True

  2. False
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The metal ion displaces the proton $(H^+)$ from the acid and a salt is formed along with carbonic acid $(H _2CO _3)$

However, $(H _2CO _3)$ is unstable in atmospheric conditions.
$MgCO _3+2HCl\longrightarrow MgCl _2+H _2CO _3$ (Equation $01$)
$H _2CO _3\longrightarrow H _2O+CO _2$ (Equation $02$)
By adding $01$ and $02$
$MgCl _2+2HCl\longrightarrow MgCl _2+H _2O+CO _2$
Similarly,
$Na _2CO _3+H _2SO _4\longrightarrow Na _2SO _4+H _2CO _3$
here, $H _2CO _3$ is split into $H _2O+CO _2$
$ZnCO _3+2HNO _3\longrightarrow Zn(NO _3) _2+H _2O+CO _2$
