Multiple choice chemistry water drying and dehydrating agents hydrolysis of salts and the ph of their solutions chemical equilibrium and acids-bases

Dissolution of salt participate in water shows:

  1. Particulate nature of matter.

  2. Continuous nature of matter.

  3. Particle size of salt is very big.

  4. All of these.

A Correct answer
Explanation

The salt will dissolve and water will taste salty. Salt particles dissolve in water because they occupy the spaces between the water molecules resulting in spreading of salt particles throughout the particles of water showing particle nature of matter.

An aqueous solution of zinc sulphate is acidic in nature because______.


  1. $ZnSO _{4}$ ionizes
  2. $SO _{4}^{-2}$ reacts with $H _{2}O$
  3. $Zn^{+2}$ reacts with $H _{2}O$
  4. $Zn^{+2}$ & $SO^{-2} _{4}$ reacts with $H _{2}O$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Zinc sulphate is a salt of a strong acid (H2SO4) and a weak base (Zn(OH)2). When dissolved in water, the zinc ion undergoes hydrolysis with water molecules, releasing hydrogen ions into the solution and rendering it acidic.

KMnO$ _4$ oxidises X$^{n+}$ ion to XO$^- _3$ itself changing into Mn$^{+2}$ in acid solution. $2.68$ $\times$ $10^{-3}$ mole of X$^{n+}$ requires $1.61$ $\times$ $10^{-3}$ mole of MnO$ _4^-$. The value of n is :

  1. $1$
  2. $2$
  3. $4$
  4. $3$

B Correct answer
Explanation

Using the redox equivalence: (n_final - n_initial) * moles_X = (5 - 2) * moles_MnO4. (5 - n) * 2.68e-3 = 3 * 1.61e-3. 5 - n = 1.8. n = 2.

The mass in grams of potassium permanganate (MM = 158) crystals required to oxidise $750\,\,c{m^3}$ of 0.1 M Mohr's salt solution in acidic medium is about 

  1. 11.8

  2. 5.8

  3. 6.0

  4. 2.4
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

In an acidic medium, potassium permanganate oxidizes Mohr's salt (iron(II)). The milliequivalents of potassium permanganate must equal the milliequivalents of Mohr's salt. Using normality and volume calculations along with the molar mass of 158 g/mol, the required mass of potassium permanganate is found to be 2.4 grams.

Degree of hydrolysis for a salt of weak acid and strong base can be changed by 

  1. Increasing concentration of salt

  2. Increasing temperature

  3. Adding base

  4. All of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

The degree of hydrolysis (h) for a salt of a weak acid and strong base is given by h = sqrt(Kh / C). It depends on the hydrolysis constant (Kh), which is temperature-dependent, and the concentration (C).

Chloride which is insoluble in water is :

  1. sodium chloride

  2. potassium chloride

  3. mercurous chloride

  4. calcium chloride
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Chloride salts include sodium chloride (common salt), potassium chloride, calcium chloride, and ammonium chloride. Most chloride salts are readily soluble in water, but mercurous chloride (calomel) and silver chloride are insoluble, and lead chloride is only slightly soluble.

Does $Mg(OH) _2$ react with sodium hydroxide?

  1. True

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

A universal indicator is a pH indicator composed of a solution of several compounds that exhibits smooth colour changes over a pH value range from 1-14 to indicate the acidity or alkalinity of solutions. Two basic hydroxides do not react with each other as these are bases but not alkali.
