When metal foundry products are cleaned by shot blasting, heat is generated by friction. Nitrogen is used for:

  1. providing an inert atmosphere

  2. cooling the blast chamber

  3. reducing friction

  4. displacing hot air


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
Nitrogen commonly used as inert gas to create inert atmosphere because the strong triple bond needs a lot of energy to break and participate in a reaction. Hence, ${N} _{2}$ is referred as an inert gas.

Which of the following is not a nitrogenous fertilizer ?

  1. Calcium cyanamide

  2. CAN

  3. Super phosphate of lime

  4. Urea


Correct Option: C
Explanation:
Calcium cyanamide ($CaCN _2$) is nitrogenous fertilizer.
CAN is calcium ammonium nitrate and urea $NH _2-CO-NH _2$ is also nitrogenous fertilizer.
Superphosphate of lime, $Ca(H _2PO _4) _2$ is fertilizer of phosphorous.So it's not the fertilizer of nitrogen.
Hence option C is correct.

In Kjeldahl's method, nitrogen present is estimated as:

  1. $N _2$

  2. $NH _2$

  3. $NO _2$

  4. none of these


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Kjeldahl method is a method that is used the quantitatuin estimation of nitrogen conlaining in inorganic substances like $NH _3/NH _4^+$, and in organic substances.In kjeldah's method, notrogen is estimated in following steps : 

$Step$ $1:$Degradation: Sample$+H _SO _4\longrightarrow {(NH _4)} _2SO _4+CO _2+SO _2+H _2O$
$Step$ $2:$ Ammonia is liberated : ${(NH _4)} _2SO _4+2NaOH\longrightarrow Na _2SO _4+2H _2O+2NH _3$
$Step$ $3:$ Ammonia is captured : $B{(OH)} _3+H _2O+NH _3\longrightarrow NH^+ _4+B{(OH)} _4^-$
$Step$ $4:$ Back titration : $B{(OH)} _3+H _2O+Na _2CO _3\longrightarrow NaHCO _3+NaB{(OH)} _4+CO _2+H _2O$
Thus in Kjeldahl's method, nitrogen present is estimated as $NH _2$.

In the reaction of $2NO+{ O } _{ 2 }\rightarrow 2{ NO } _{ 2 }$, if the rate of disappearance of ${ O } _{ 2 }$ is $16gm$ ${ min }^{ -1 }$, then the rate of apperance of ${ NO } _{ 2 }$ is:

  1. $90\ gm\ { min }^{ -1 }$

  2. $46\ gm\ { min }^{ -1 }$

  3. $28\ gm\ { min }^{ -1 }$

  4. $32\ gm\ { min }^{ -1 }$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
$2NO+{ O } _{ 2 }\rightarrow 2N{ O } _{ 2 }$
$-\cfrac { 1 }{ 2 } \cfrac { d\left[ NO \right]  }{ dt } =\cfrac { -d\left[ { O } _{ 2 } \right]  }{ dt } =\cfrac { 1 }{ 2 } \cfrac { d\left[ N{ O } _{ 2 } \right]  }{ dt } $
$\cfrac { -d\left[ { O } _{ 2 } \right]  }{ dt } =16ℊ{ min }^{ -1 }=\cfrac { 16 }{ 16 } mol{ min }^{ -1 }=1mol{ min }^{ -1 }$
$\cfrac { d\left[ N{ O } _{ 2 } \right]  }{ dt } =2\times \cfrac { -d\left[ { O } _{ 2 } \right]  }{ dt } =2\times 1=2mol/min$
No. of moles$=\cfrac { weight }{ mol.wt } $
$2\times $Mol. wt of $N{ O } _{ 2 }=$wt
$2\times 46=$ wt $\Rightarrow $Weight of $N{ O } _{ 2 }=92ℊ$
Rate of appearance of $N{ O } _{ 2 }=92ℊ/min\approx 90ℊ/min$
Therefore, option $A$ is correct.

If the constituents of a solid-liquid mixture have different masses, then we can separate them using:

  1. sublimation

  2. centrifugation

  3. winnowing

  4. evaporation


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Centrifugation is a technique which involves the application of centrifugal force to separate particles from a solution. The larger the size and the larger the density of the particles, the faster they separate from the mixture. Example- washing machine works on the principle of centrifugation.

  4. Distillation


Correct Option: D
Explanation:
