MCQ: 1

Which of the following method is used to remove temporary hardness of water only?
(1) Synthetic resin method
(2) Ion-exchange method
(3) Calgon method
(4) Clark’s method

CORRECT ANSWER: (4) Clark’s method

EXPLANATION: Clark's method also known to add lime to hard water method is used to remove
hardness in temporary hard water. In this process, a fixed amount of lime (CaCO3) is mixed with hard
water. The CaCO3 reacts with water-soluble bicarbonates of calcium and Magnesium present in the
hard to transform them in aqua insoluble carbonates that are later on removed by filtration

MCQ: 2

ZrH2 is an example of which type of hydride?

(1) Metallic
(2) Ionic
(3) Covalent
(4) Polymeric

CORRECT ANSWER: (1) Metallic

EXPLANATION: Zirconium Hydride is a metallic hydride formed between zirconium and Hydrogen.
Interesting this hydride after reaction with metal produces Hydrogen gas

MCQ: 3

Select the false one out?

(1) Ordinary water is heavier than D2O

(2) The freezing point for D2O is lower than ordinary water
(3) The speed of reaction between the hydrogen & chlorine molecule are faster than the heavy
water & chlorine molecules.
(4) Bond dissociation energy for D2 ¡s greater than H2

CORRECT ANSWER: (2) The freezing point for D2O is lower than ordinary water

EXPLANATION: The freezing point of H2O is 0oC whereas the freezing point of D2O is 3.820C. This
clearly states the statement stating "D2O freezes at a lower temperature than H2O" is incorrect while
the opposite is found to be true.
MCQ: 4

Which one represent the repeating structure of Silicon?

(1)

(2)

(3)

(4)

CORRECT ANSWER: (1)

EXPLANATION: Silicones are organosilicon substances in which carbon atoms are substituted by Si.
They have R2SiO units.
These are chemically inert, heat resistant and water repellent.
MCQ: 5

Which of the following structures from the aldehyde & ketone family fail to exhibit tautomerism?

(1)

(2)

(3)

(4) All of these

CORRECT ANSWER: (4) All of these

EXPLANATION: Aldehyde & Ketones show Keto-Enol tautomerism, for aldehydes or ketones to show
Keto – Enol tautomerism at least one α-Hydrogen should be present in the compound.
Here all of them lacks α-Hydrogen, thereby each of the structure fails to show tautomerism.

MCQ: 6

Choose what type of bonds are present in N2O5?

(1) Ionic Bond

(2) Co-ordinate Bond
(3) Vanderwall's Forces & Hydrogen Bond
(4) Covalent Bond & Co-ordinate Bonds

CORRECT ANSWER: (4) Covalent Bond & Co-ordinate Bonds

EXPLANATION: N2O5 has the following structure:

MCQ: 7

Select out the incorrect statement about fullerene.

(1) Fullerenes are made by strong heating of graphite in an electric arc
(2) Fullerenes are the most stable allotrope & carbon
(3) C contains 20 six-membered ring
(4) All the carbon atoms are sp2 hybridized in fullerenes

CORRECT ANSWER: (2) Fullerenes are the most stable allotrope & carbon

EXPLANATION:

➢ One of the most interesting carbon

molecules made in recent years is
given the name of ‘Buck-minster
Fullerene’.
➢ Fullerene is the allotropic form of
carbon that is formed by the action of
beams of lasers on graphite or strong
heating of the graphite in an inert
environment.
➢ In both graphite and fullerene, all the
carbon atoms are in the sp2
hybridized state.
➢ The sooty material contains several
fullerenes but mainly C60 with a small
amount of C70 is present. These are
separated by dissolving in toluene followed by chromatography over alumina.
➢ Fullerenes are the purest allotrope but it is not the most stable allotrope of carbon

MCQ: 8

In a laboratory, on a Bunsen Burner, when a sample of Borax is burnt with a loop of CoO, Co(B02)2
bread formation takes place. What is the color of the bread?
(1) Blue
(3)Violet
(2) Green
(4) Brown

CORRECT ANSWER: (1) Blue

EXPLANATION: There are a number of transition materials whose Meta borates gives interesting
characteristic colors. When Borax bread test is formed, interesting a blue color borax bread is found.
This is a laboratory confirmation test
MCQ: 9

“Si02 is a solid but CO2 is a gas” due to

(1) The giant polymeric network structure of Si02
(2) Si cannot form its bonds in Si02
(3) Si can form sigma bonds only in SiC2
(4) All of the above reasons

CORRECT ANSWER: (4) All of the above reasons

EXPLANATION: Giant covalent network structure of silicon dioxide with strong lattice bond energy of
single sigma bonds in all directions makes it a solid structure because the breaking of those sigma
bonds requires much more energy.

MCQ: 10

(1) (2)

(2) (4) P

CORRECT ANSWER: (4)
