Correct answer: Glycerol
  • A. Physical state of matter
  • B. Intermolecular forces
  • C. Temperature
  • D. Both B and C

Explanation: The vapour pressure depends on two factors:1. Nature of liquid: The nature of liquid is explained on the basis of its intermolecular…

Correct answer: Both B and C
  • A. Surface phenomena is applicable.
  • B. It causes cooling.
  • C. Is exothermic.
  • D. It is continous

Explanation: Molecules at the surface use enough energy to exceed vapor pressure and they escape in the form of gas in the air.

Correct answer: It causes cooling.
  • A. Energy released in bond breaking is greater
  • B. Energy released in bond making is greater
  • C. Energy absorbed in bond breaking is greater
  • D. Energy absorbed In bond making is greater

Explanation: Breaking these bonds requires energy to be absorbed by the reaction. But then, new bonds form between hydrogen and oxygen and between…

Correct answer: Energy released in bond making is greater
  • A. Exothermic reaction
  • B. Endothermic reaction
  • C. Spontaneous reaction
  • D. Non-spontaneous reaction

Explanation: During the enthalpy change of the solution of Na2CO3 , the temperature of the solvent rises showing that the process is exothermic.

Correct answer: Exothermic reaction
  • A. Exothermic
  • B. Endothermic
  • C. Spontaneous
  • D. Non-spontaneous

Explanation: The enthalpy change of solution of sodium carbonate is -24.6kJ.mol-1. Since enthalpy change is negative, the reaction is exothermic.

Correct answer: Exothermic
  • A. More than 1
  • B. Positive
  • C. Negative
  • D. Neutral

Explanation: Exothermic reaction is a reaction in which net energy is released in a reaction.

Correct answer: Negative
  • A. Increasing the activation energy
  • B. Decreasing the activation energy

Explanation: The rate of reaction depends on the concentration of reactants, temperature, pressure (in case of gaseous reactants), and catalyst.

Correct answer: All of the above
  • A. Concentration of reactants does not affect the rate of a reaction
  • B. Surface area of reactants affects rate of reaction
  • C. Concentration affects rate of reaction
  • D. Catalyst affects rate of a reaction

Explanation: The rate constant which is the proportionality constant that relates the rate of reaction with the concentrations of the reactants is not…

Correct answer: Concentration of reactants does not affect the rate of a reaction
