MCQ
Although metals form basic oxides, which of the following metals form an amphoteric oxide ?
  • A
    $\ce{Na}$
  • B
    $\ce{Ca}$
  • ✓
    $\ce{Al}$
  • D
    $\ce{Cu}$
✓

Answer

Correct option: C.
$\ce{Al}$
Some of the metals like Aluminium $\ce{(Al)}$ metal forms amphoteric oxide $\left(\mathrm{A1}_2 \mathrm{O}_3\right)$ which can behave like acid as well as base.

Three beakers labelled as $A, B$ and $C$ each containing $25\ mL$ of water were taken. A small amount of $\text{NaOH}$, anhydrous $CuSO_4$ and $\text{NaCl}$ were added to the beakers $A, B$ and $C$ respectively. It was observed that there was an increase in the temperature of the solutions contained in beakers $A$ and $B$, whereas in case of beaker $C$, the temperature of the solution falls. Which one of the following statement $(s)$ is $($are$)$ correct?

A student has obtained an image of a well-illuminated distant object on a screen to determine the focal length, $\text{F}_{1}$ of the given spherical mirror. The teacher then gave him another mirror of focal length, $\text{F}_{2}$ and asked him to obtain a focussed image of the same object on the same screen. The student found that in order to focus the same object using the second mirror, he has to move the mirror away from the screen. From this observation it may be concluded that both the spherical mirrors given to the student were $($select the correct option$)$
