  3. $24$ carat

  4. $58.5$% copper


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Swarna Bhasma is prepared from Gold. It is used in Ayurvedic treatment of infertility, asthma, tissue wasting, poisoning etc. This medicine should only be taken strictly under medical supervision.

In the given question option A is the correct answer.

One mole of photons is known as one Einstein of radiation. According to Stark-Einstein law of photochemical equivalence, one mole of reactant absorbs one Einstien of energy. For a photochemical reaction, a term called quantum yield is defined as:
Quantum yield $ (\phi) = \dfrac {No. \,of \,moles \,of \,reactant \,converted} {No. \,of \,Einstein \,absorbed} $
The correct statement(s) is/are:

  1. for a chain reaction $\phi _{gas} >> \phi _{solution}$

  2. in a photochemical chain reaction $\phi >> 1$

  3. in a photochemical chain reaction $\phi << 1$

  4. for a chain reaction $\phi _{gas} << \phi _{solution}$


Correct Option: A,B
Explanation:
$Quantum \ Yield= \cfrac {Number \ of \ moles \ of \ reactant \ converted}{Number \ of \ einstein \ absorbed}$
An einstein of radiation $=$ one mole of photons
For a chain reaction, $\phi _{gas} >> \phi _{solution}$
and ln photochemical chain reaction $\phi >>1$

A sample of $CaC{O _3}$ is $50\% $ pure. On heating $1.12{\text{ }}L$ of $C{O _2}$ (at STP) is obtained. Residue left (assuming non-volatile impurity) is:

  1. 7.8 g

  2. 3.8 g

  3. 2.8 g

  4. 8.9 g


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

No. of moles of $CO _2$ evolved $=\cfrac{1.12}{22.4}=0.05$ $moles$

$CaCO _3(s)\overset { \Delta }{ \longrightarrow } CaO\downarrow+CO _2\uparrow$
                             $0.05$        $0.05$ $moles$
So, $0.05$ $moles$ of $CaCO _3$ have  reacted.
Mass $=0.05\times 100=5$ $gm=50\%$ of $CaCO _3$ sample
Total weight $=2\times 5$ $gm=10$ $gm$
Residue left by $CaCO _3=5$ $gm$
Residue left by $CaO=56\times 0.05=2.8$ $gm$
Toatl residue $=5+2.8=7.8$ $gm$

When marble chips are treated with $HCl $, which of the following gas is liberated?

  1. CO$ _2$

  2. O$ _2$

  3. CO

  4. NO$ _2$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Reaction:

$\underbrace{CaCO _3} _{(Marble\quad chips)} +2HCl\longrightarrow CaCl _2+CO _2(g) +H _2O(l)$
So, $CO _2$ gas is liberated.

$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. $CaCl _{2} + 2H _{2}O + 4CO _{2}$


Correct Option: A
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.

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

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
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 $H _2O+CO _2$
$ZnCO _3+2HNO _3\longrightarrow Zn(NO _3) _2+H _2O+CO _2$

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

All metal carbonates and hydrogen carbonates react with acids to gives corresponding salt, carbon dioxide and water.

Hydrochloric acid react with carbonate to form:

  1. carbide

  2. hydride

  3. chloride

  4. none of the above

Hydrochloric acid reacts with Carbonate to form chlorides.
$2HCl+CaCo _3\rightarrow CaCl _2+H _2O+CO _2$

$2HCl{(aq)} + MgCO _{3}(s)\rightarrow$

  1. $MgCl _{2}(aq) + CO _{2}(g) + H _{2}O(l)$

  2. $MgCl _{2}(aq) + CO _{2}(g)$

  3. $MgCl _{2}(aq) + H _{2}O(l)$

  4. $MgCl _{2}(aq) + CO _{2}(g) + 3H _{2}O(l)$
