10 mL of a solution of NaOH is found to be completely neutralised by 8 mL of a given solution of HCl. If we take 20 mL of the same solution of NaOH, the amount of HCl solution (the same solution as before) required to neutralise it will be
Answer
  1. 16mL

Explanation:

It is given that 10mL of a solution of NaOH is completely neutralised by 8mL of a solution of HCl. Hence, 20mL of the solution of NaOH, which is double the amount taken earlier, will require double the solution of HCl taken earlier, i.e., 16mL, to be completely neutralised.

MCQ 71 Mark
A student requires hard water for an experiment in his laboratory which is not available in the neighbouring area. In the laboratory, there are some salts, which when dissolved in distilled water can convert it into hard water. Select from the following groups of salts, a group, each salt of which when dissolved in distilled water will make it hard.
  • A
    Sodium chloride, Potassium chloride.
  • B
    Sodium sulphate, Potassium sulphate.
  • C
    Sodium sulphate, Calcium sulphate.
  • D
    Calcium sulphate, Calcium chloride.
Answer
  1. Calcium sulphate, Calcium chloride.

Explanation:

Calcium sulfate (or calcium sulphate) is the inorganic compound with the formula CaSO4 and related hydrates. In the form of γ-anhydrite (the anhydrous form), it is used as a desiccant. One particular hydrate is better known as plaster of Paris, and another occurs naturally as the mineral gypsum

Calcium chloride is an inorganic compound, a salt with the chemical formula CaCl2. It is a colorless crystalline solid at room temperature, highly soluble in water. Calcium chloride is commonly encountered as a hydrated solid with generic formula CaCl2 (H2O)x, where x = 0, 1, 2, 4, and 6. These compounds are mainly used for deicing and dust control. Because the anhydrous salt is hygroscopic, it is used as a desiccant

Hard water can be prepared by dissolving sulphates, chlorides or bicarbonate salts of Ca2+ or Mg2+ ions.

MCQ 81 Mark
When you add a few drops of acetic acid to a test-tube containing sodium bicarbonate powder, which one of the following is your observation?
  • A
    No reaction takes place.
  • B
    A colourless gas with pungent smell is released with brisk effervescence.
  • C
    A brown coloured gas is released with brisk effervescence.
  • D
    Formation of bubbles of a colourless and odourless gas.
Answer
  1. Formation of bubbles of a colourless and odourless gas.

Explanation:

NaHCO3 + HC2H3O2 → NaC2H3O2 + H2O + CO2

There is double displacement in which acetic acid reacts with sodium
bicarbonate to form sodium acetate and carbonic acid.

NaHCO3 + HC2H3O2 → NaC2H3O2 + H2CO3

Carbonic acid is unstable and undergoes a decomposition reaction to produce
carbon dioxide gas.

H2CO3 → H2O + CO2

Carbon dioxide escapes from the solution as bubbles.

Acetic acid, systematically named ethanoic acid is a colorless liquid organic compound with the chemical formula CH3COOH (also written as CH3CO2H or C2H4O2). When undiluted, it is sometimes called glacial acetic acid. Vinegar is roughly 3 - 9% acetic acid by volume, making acetic acid the main component of vinegar apart from water. Acetic acid has a distinctive sour taste and pungent smell. In addition to household vinegar, it is mainly produced as a precursor to polyvinyl acetate and cellulose acetate. It is classified as a weak acid since it only partially dissociates in solution, but concentrated acetic acid is corrosive and can attack the skin.

MCQ 91 Mark
A student takes about 6 mL distilled water in four test tubes marked P, Q, R and S. He dissolves sodium sulphate in P, potassium sulphate in Q, calcium sulphate in R and magnesium sulphate in S. After that he adds equal amount of soap solution in each test tube. On shaking these test tubes, he would observe a good amount of lather in the test tubes marked.
  • A
    P and Q.
  • B
    Q and R.
  • C
    R and S.
  • D
    P and S.
Answer
  1. P and Q.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Explanation:

Lather (foam) is formed by the reaction of soap solution with sodium sulphate and potassium sulphate in the test tubes P and Q, respectively. They are dissolved in water to give a neutral solution.

Sulphates, chlorides and bicarbonates of calcium and magnesium make the water hard.

Thus, the lather is not formed in the test tubes R and S.

MCQ 231 Mark
You have four test tubes, A, B, C and D containing sodium carbonate, sodium chloride, lime water and blue litmus solutions respectively. Out of these the material of which test tube/test tubes would be suitable for the correct test of acetic/ethanoic acid?
  • A
    Only A
  • B
    A and B
  • C
    B and C
  • D
    A and D
Answer
  1. A and D

Explanation:

The chemical reaction between ethanoic (acetic) acid and sodium carbonate is:

2CH3COOH + Na2CO3 → 2 CH3COONa + CO2 + H2O

On passing CO2 gas through lime water, the lime water turns milky. The milky appearance of lime water is due to the formation of solid calcium carbonate (CaCO3).

Reaction:

Ca(OH)2 + CO2 → CaCO3 + H2O

therefore, out of four test tubes A, B, C and D, only A and D test tubes would be suitable for the correct test of acetic/ ethanoic acid.

Acetic acid also reacts with lime water to give calcium acetate (CH3COO)2Ca) as a product. But here it is not considered as a correct test of acetic/ ethanoic acid. 

Reaction:

2 CH3COOH + Ca(OH)2 → (CH3COO)2Ca + 2H2O

Hence, the correct answer is the option (d).

  1. When a red litmus paper is dipped into reaction mixture of a saponification reaction, it turns blue and the reaction is exothermic.
  2. When a blue litmus paper is dipped into reaction mixture of a saponification reaction, its colour does not change and the reaction is exothermic.
  3. When a red litmus paper is dipped into reaction mixture of a saponification reaction, its colour does not change and the reaction is endothermic.
  4. When a blue litmus paper is dipped into reaction mixture of a saponification reaction, its colour does not change and the reaction is endothermic.

Which of the above statements are correct?

    • A
      I and II
    • B
      II and III
    • C
      III and IV
    • D
      I and IV
    Answer
    1. I and II.

    ​​​​​​​Explanation:

    Saponification reaction  mixture is basic in nature. Formation of soap that is saponification involves base (usually sodium hydroxide, NaOH) hydrolysis of triglycerides, which are esters of fatty acids, to form the sodium salt of a carboxylate. Hence reaction mixture is basic. So, the student will observe that there is no change in the blue litmus paper but red litmus will turn blue.

        Answer
        1. Blue litmus red.

        ​​​​​​​Explanation:

        Under acidic conditions, the phenol is protonated and results in a red color. The process is reversible so if a solution becomes acidic, litmus will be red.  Blue litmus is the deprotonated form and when you put it in acetic acid it will become protonated and turns red.

        When a small amount of acid is added to water, a concentrated acid turns into dilute acid. This process is called dilution of acid. A dilute acid is also called an aqueous solution in which acid releases hydronium ions (H+) and undergoes ionisation.

        $\text{HCl}(\text{aq})\rightarrow\text{H}^+(\text{aq})+\text{Cl}^-\text{(aq)}.$
