  • A. Free electrons
  • B. Positive ions
  • C. Negative ions
  • D. Both Options B and C are correct

Explanation: In electrolysis, current is carried through the electrolytic solution inside the cell by positive and negative ions using…

Correct answer: Both Options B and C are correct
  • A. Electrons
  • B. Charges
  • C. Energy
  • D. Hydrogen ions

Explanation: Redox reactions (oxidation-reduction reactions) are actually the transfer of electrons.

Correct answer: Electrons
  • A. Sodium
  • B. Hydrogen
  • C. Chlorine
  • D. Oxygen

Explanation: Chloride ions (Cl⁻) are attracted to the positive electrode (anode) during the electrolysis of a dilute solution of NaCl.

Correct answer: Chlorine
  • A. Copper sulphate
  • B. Copper chloride
  • C. Zinc Chloride
  • D. Zinc Sulphate

Explanation: Zinc, in a voltaic cell, is always dipped in zinc sulfate to get an excess of Zn2+ ions.

Correct answer: Zinc Sulphate
  • A. (NH4)2Cr2O7
  • B. K2Cr2O7
  • C. Zn(ClO3)2
  • D. KClO3

Explanation: This compound, also known as ammonium dichromate, decomposes upon heating to form chromium (lll) oxide, nitrogen gas, and water vapor.

Correct answer: (NH4)2Cr2O7
  • A. C(s) + H2O(g) -> CO(g) +2H2(g)
  • B. CH3O(l) + CH3CO2H(l) -> CH2CO2CH2(l) + H2O (l)
  • C. Cu2+(aq) + 4NH2(aq) -> Cu(NH2)23+ (aq)
  • D. N2O4(g) -> 2NO2

Explanation: The units of Kc are dependent upon the number of moles of (only of gases and liquids, not solids like in option A) reactants and products.

Correct answer: CH3O(l) + CH3CO2H(l) -> CH2CO2CH2(l) + H2O (l)
  • A. Extent of reaction
  • B. Direction of reaction

Explanation: The explanation for this question will be added soon.

Correct answer: Both A and B
  • A. KC
  • B. K
  • C. Kp

Correct answer: Kp
  • A. Stability
  • B. Reactivity
  • C. Compressibility
  • D. Instability

Explanation: The equilibrium constant for the decomposition of ozone to oxygen is 1055 at 25°C.2O3 → 3O2 Kc= 1055 at 25°CIt infers that at room…

Correct answer: Instability
  • A. High
  • B. Low
  • C. Negligible
  • D. None of these

Explanation: The tendency of an irreversible reaction to go in the reverse direction is negligible.

Correct answer: Negligible
  • A. Maximum
  • B. Minimum
  • C. Zero
  • D. Negligible

Explanation: OPTION A: Maximum is incorrect because, at equilibrium, the rate of the forward and reverse reactions is equal, so there is no net change…

Correct answer: Zero
  • A. Units
  • B. No Units
  • C. Both options A and B are correct
  • D. A negative value

Explanation: The equilibrium constant formula is kc= concentration of right-hand-side / left-hand-side.

Correct answer: Both options A and B are correct
  • A. Negative value
  • B. Large value
  • C. No units
  • D. Units

Explanation: OPTION A: A small (negative) Kc value (less than 1) indicates that there are more reactants than products at equilibrium.

Correct answer: No units
  • A. Kc
  • B. K
  • C. Kp
  • D. None of these

Explanation: Option A is wrong because Kc is not the equilibrium constant for ideal gases in terms of partial pressure.

Correct answer: Kp
  • A. Reactants over products
  • B. Products over reactants
  • C. Product times Reactants
