1% Phenol is used as

  1. Disinfectant

  2. Antiseptic

  3. Antifertility drug

  4. Artificial sweetener

A Correct answer
Explanation

One per cent solution of phenol is used as a disinfectant and $0.2$ per cent solution of phenol is an antiseptic so a higher concentration of the same compound is harmful to the body but can be used as a disinfectant to kill microorganisms on the non-living thing.

The $pK _{a}$ of acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) is $3.5$. The $pH$ of gastric juice in human stomach is about $2$ to $3$ and the $pH$ in the small intestine is about $8$. Aspirin will be

  1. unionized in the small intestine as well as in the stomach.

  2. completely ionized in the small intestine as well as in the stomach.

  3. ionized in the stomach and almost unionized in the small intestine.

  4. ionized in the small intestine and almost unionized in the stomach.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Aspirin is a weak acid with pKa = 3.5. In the stomach (pH 2-3), pH < pKa, so it remains mostly unionized (protonated). In the intestine (pH 8), pH > pKa, so it becomes ionized (deprotonated).

Which of the following represents a biliquid propellant?

  1. Nitroglycerin + Nitrocellulose
  2. $N _2O _4 +$ acrylic rubber
  3. $N _2O _4 +$ Unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine

  4. Polybutadiene + Ammonium perchlorate

  5. None of the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation
Nitroglycerin is combined with nitrocellulose to form gunpowders.

$N _2O _4$ is added to acrylic rubber to increase its tensile strength.

Unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine with $N _2O _4$ is used as a hypergolic liquid rocket propellant.

Ammonium perchlorate in combination with polybutadiene is used as a solid composite propellant. 

Hence, option C is correct.

Which of the following are sulpha drugs?

  1. Sulphapyridine

  2. Prontosil

  3. Salvarsan

  4. Nardil
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A,B Correct answer
Explanation
Sulfonamide is the basis of several groups of drugs. The original antibacterial sulfonamides (sometimes called sulfa drugs or sulpha drugs) are synthetic antimicrobial agents that contain the Sulfonamide group. 
Sulfapyridine is a sulfonamide antibacterial.
Prontosil: Also known as Sulphamidochrysoidine, it was the first sulfa drug to be discovered. 
Salvarsan: Also known as Arsphenamine, it was the first modern chemotherapeutic agent.
Nardil is a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI).
So, sulphapyridine and prontosil are the only sulfa drugs here.
