Question 31 Discuss

The decomposition of gaseous Ammonia on a hot platinum surface is a ____ order reaction at high pressure.

A
two
B
zero
C
three
D
one

Answer & Explanation

Correct Option: B

At high pressures, the catalyst surface becomes completely saturated with reactant molecules, making the reaction rate independent of concentration.
Question 32 Discuss

What is the IUPAC name of tertiarybutyl alcohol?

A
2-Methylpropan-2-ol
B
1-propylpropan-3-ol
C
1-Methylpropan-3-ol
D
1-ethylpropan-3-ol

Answer & Explanation

Correct Option: A

In IUPAC naming, the longest chain has three carbons (propan-ol) with a methyl group and hydroxyl group on the second carbon.
Question 33 Discuss

Which of the following is a correct order of basicity for Group 1 hydroxides?

A
LiOH > NaOH > KOH > CsOH
B
LiOH > KOH > CsOH > NaOH
C
KOH > CsOH >NaOH >LiOH
D
CsOH > KOH >NaOH >LiOH

Answer & Explanation

Correct Option: D

Basicity increases down the group because the larger cation size leads to weaker attraction for the OH- ion, making it easier to release.
Question 34 Discuss
