Explanation: The activation energy is the minimum energy required to initiate a chemical reaction, appearing as a potential energy hill between the…

Correct answer: Reactants and the products
  • A. Decrease in activation energy of reaction
  • B. Decrease in the number of collisions between molecules of reactants
  • C. Increase in activation energy of molecules of reactants
  • D. Increase in number of effective collisions

Explanation: As temperature increases, the kinetic energy of molecules also increases.

Correct answer: Increase in number of effective collisions
  • A. Young needs to be encouraged and supported in society.
  • B. A young need to be encouraged and supported in society.
  • C. The young needs to be encouraged and supported in society.
  • D. The young need to be encouraged and supported in society.

Explanation: The correct choice is D because it is grammatically correct and conveys the intended meaning.

Correct answer: The young need to be encouraged and supported in society.
  • A. Formaldehyde
  • B. Aceteldehyde
  • C. Acetone
  • D. Ethanol

Explanation: Formaldehyde does not have a methyl group adjacent to a carbonyl group, which is necessary for the iodoform reaction to occur.

Correct answer: Aceteldehyde
  • A. Option A: Gem diol with no electron-withdrawing groups
  • B. Option B: Gem diol with a weak electron-withdrawing group
  • C. Option C: Gem diol with a strong electron-withdrawing group
  • D. Option D: Gem diol with a bulky substituent

Explanation: The stability of a geminal diol is significantly influenced by the presence of electron-withdrawing groups attached to the carbon that…

Correct answer: Option C: Gem diol with a strong electron-withdrawing group

Explanation: Iodoform test (I₂ / NaOH) is the correct reagent for distinguishing methyl ketones

Correct answer: Iodine in NaOH
  • A. Pressure = high density = high
  • B. Pressure = low density = high
  • C. Pressure = high density = low
  • D. Pressure = low density = low

Explanation: The physically correct condition is low pressure and high temperature, which corresponds to low density.

Correct answer: Pressure = low density = high
  • A. Pressure = high density = high
  • B. Pressure = low density = high
  • C. Pressure = hight density = low

Explanation: Real gases approximate ideal gas behavior at relatively low density, low pressure, and high temperature.At high temperatures, the gas…

Correct answer: Pressure = low density = low
  • A. Option A
  • B. Option B
  • C. Option C
  • D. Option D

Explanation: At low pressure P, volume V is high. V-b will approximately be equal to V so b is neglegibe.

Correct answer: Option B
  • A. H2SO4
  • B. HNO3
  • C. both A and B
  • D. none

Explanation: Sulfur dioxide is oxidised to sulfuric acid and nitrogen oxides form nitric acid in atmospheric moisture, so acid rain commonly contains…
