Questions Related to know about some common gases

Which piece of laboratory equipment is used to make precise measurement of only one volume?

  1. Beaker

  2. Graduated cylinder

  3. Volumetric flask

  4. Test tube

  5. Eudiometer


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Volumetric flasks are used to measure volume of liquids .  The liquid has accurate volume when the solution reaches to the corresponding marking on the scale. Volume is usually indicated in mL. During measurement of the volume the vessel must be placed on an even, horizontal support. The required volume is measured when the lower edge of meniscus of the liquid just touches the marking on the vessel.

Of the equipment listed below, which one would be more suitable to read a meniscus?

  1. $100\ mL$ beaker

  2. $500\ mL$ flask

  3. Watch glass

  4. $50\ mL$ buret

  5. Trough


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Buret is a graduated glass tuble with a top at one end, for delivering volumes of liquid. Since, it is graduated, it is most suitable for reading a meniscus.

A meniscus is basically a liquid seen at the top of a liquid. It can be concave or convex. depending on the surface tension of the liquid and adhesson to the wall of the container..  

Which of the following has a shallow bottom to increase the surface area of a liquid?

  1. Test tube

  2. Burette

  3. Crucible

  4. Evaporating dish

  5. Graduated cylinder


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Evaporating dish has a shallow bottom to increase the surface area of a liquid.
Evaporating dish is used to evaporate volatile solvent from a solution.

Which of the following you will not do in the laboratory while performing an experiment?


i. Pour acids and bases over a sink
ii. Wear goggles
iii. Heat a stoppered test tube

  1. i only

  2. ii only

  3. iii only

  4. i and iii only

  5. i, ii, and iii


Correct Option: C
Explanation:
i.)  Pour acids and bases over a sink- It can be done to avoid cleaning of spill solution and equipment.

ii.) Wear goggles-we should always wear goggles.

iii.) Heating a stoppered test tube can cause the boiling to be extremely sudden, forcing the liquid out of the tube or vapours do not have space for coming out of test tube so it can damage test tube.  

Hence, the correct option is C.

Which of the following would you use to keep a dehydrated substance from rehydrating?

  1. Mortar and Pestle

  2. Beaker

  3. Evaporating dish

  4. Crucible

  5. Desiccator


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

Desiccator is used to keep a dehydrated substance from rehydrating.
In desiccator, anhydrous calcium chloride or other suitable dehydrating agent is kept that will remove moisture from atmosphere. Thus, it provides dry atmosphere.

In which of the following pieces of glassware does a meniscus become of importance?

  1. Watchglass

  2. Burette

  3. Beaker

  4. Flask

  5. Funnel


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

In Burette does a meniscus become of importance.
With the help of meniscus in Burette, we can measure accurate volume of liquid used for the titration

Which piece of laboratory is used to make precise measurements for the volume of a gas collected over water?

  1. Beaker

  2. Graduated cylinder

  3. Volumetric flask

  4. Test tube

  5. Eudiometer


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Graduated cylinder is measuring cylinder used to measure the volume of liquid or gas. It has a narrow cylinderial shap. Each marks as line/graduations in cylinder represents the amount of the liquid or gas that has been measured. Thus, it can be used to make precise measurements for the volume of gas collected over wales.

Which of the following is considered to be a dangerous procedure in the laboratory setting?

  1. Pouring all liquids especially acids and bases. over the sink

  2. Wearing goggles

  3. Pushing glass tubing. thermometers. or glass thistle tubes through a rubber cork

  4. Pointing the mouth of a test tube that is being heated away from you and others

  5. Knowing where the fire extinguisher and eyewash stations are located


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The following is considered to be a dangerous procedure in the laboratory setting
Pushing glass tubing. thermometers. or glass thistle tubes through a rubber cork
During the process, the glass may break and injure our hands.

What color is the flame of a Bunsen burner which is producing the maximum heat output it is capable of?

  1. Violet

  2. Yellow

  3. Blue

  4. Orange

  5. Red


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The hottest part of the flame is the tip of the inner flame which is violet in colour, while the coolest is the whole inner flame.

For which of the following solution we use glass rod to mix them in the chemistry laboratory.

  1. $H _2O$ and $CCl _4$

  2. $H _2O$ and $C _2H _5OH$

  3. $NaCl$ and $H _2O$

  4. All of these


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

All the given pair of  compounds are miscible and are soluble in each other. Hence, we can use a glass rod to mix them in the chemistry laboratory.
