MCQ 71 Mark
The presence of CO2​ in the atmosphere results in:
  • A
    Rusting.
  • B
    Dusting.
  • C
    Electroplating.
  • D
    Freezing.
Answer
  1. Rusting.

Explanation:

The presence of CO2​ in the atmosphere will do iron oxide rusting. When a drop of water hits an iron object, two things begin to happen almost immediately. First, the water, a good electrolyte, combines with carbon dioxide in the air to form a weak carbonic acid, an even better electrolyte. As the acid is formed and the iron dissolved, some of the water will begin to break down into its component pieces - hydrogen and oxygen. The free oxygen and dissolved iron bond into iron oxide, in the process freeing electrons.

How much electricity must pass through acidulated water to release 22,400cm3 of hydrogen at N.T.P.?
  • A
    96500 C
  • B
    193000 C
  • C
    22.4 C
  • D

Answer
  1. Change in the intensity of illumination into a change in photoelectric current.

Explanation:

In photoelectric effect when monochromatic radiations of suitable frequency fall on the photo-sensitive plate called cathode, the photoelectrons are emitted which get accelerated towards the anode. These electrons flow in the outer circuit resulting in the photoelectric current.

Using the incident radiations of a fixed frequency, it is found that the photoelectric current increases linearly with the intensity of incident light.

An article made of an ordinary metal is desired to be coated with gold by electroplating, then gold has to be:
  • A
    Made as the electrolyte of the electrolytic cell.
  • B

An electrical current is used to reduce cations of a desired material from a solution onto the object. Electroplating is primarily used for depositing a layer of material to bestow a desired property (e.g., abrasion , wear resistance, corrosion protection, lubricity, aesthetic qualities, etc.) to a surface that otherwise lacks that property. Another application uses electroplating to build up thickness on undersized parts.An article made of an ordinary metal is desired to be coated with gold by electroplating, then gold has to be made as the anode of an electrolytic cell.

MCQ 501 Mark
Use the data given in and find out which of the following is the strongest oxidising agent:
$\text{E}^\ominus_{\text{cr}_2\text{O}^{2-}_7/\text{cr}^{3+}}=1.33\text{V}\ \ \ \text{E}^\ominus_{\text{Cl}_2/\text{Cl}^-}=1.36\text{V}$
$\text{E}^\ominus_{\text{MnO}^-_4/\text{Mn}^{2+}}=1.51\text{V}\ \ \ \ \text{E}^\ominus_{\text{Cr}^{3+}/\text{Cr}}=-0.74\text{V}$
  • A
    $\text{Cl}^-$
  • B
    $\text{Mn}^{2+}$
  • C
    $\text{MnO}_4^{-}$
  • D
    $\text{Cr}^{3+}$
Answer
  1. $\text{MnO}_4^{-}$

Explanation:

Highest positive value of standard reduction potential means strongest oxidising agent. Hence, MnO-4 is the strongest oxidising agent.
