A
Propan-1-amine
B
Methanamine
C
2-Methyl propan-1-amine
D
Ethanamine

Answer & Explanation

Correct Option: B

Hydrogen gas and salt
B
Carbon dioxide, salt and water
C
Salt and water
D
Carbon dioxide, salt and hydrogen gas

Answer & Explanation

Correct Option: A

A
cryotron
B
copatron
C
cosmotron
D
cyclotron

Answer & Explanation

Correct Option: D

Invented by Ernest Lawrence in 1929, the cyclotron uses magnetic and electric fields to accelerate particles in a spiral path.

A
Gel
B
Vapour
C
Aerosol
D
Foam

Answer & Explanation

Correct Option: C

A
AEB de Chancourtois
B
Dmitri Mendeleev
C
Henry Moseley
D
RA Millikan

Answer & Explanation

Correct Option: C

Question 47 Discuss

Why is the six membered cyclic structure of glucose called a pyranose structure?

A
Pyran is a non-cyclic organic compound, with one oxygen atom and five carbon atoms in the ring.
B
Pyran is a cyclic organic compound, with one oxygen atom and five carbon atoms in the ring.
C
Furan is a five membered non-cyclic compound, with one oxygen and four carbon atoms.
D
Furan is a five membered cyclic compound, with one oxygen and four carbon atoms.

Answer & Explanation

Correct Option: B

Glucose forms a stable six-membered ring containing five carbons and one oxygen, resembling the chemical structure of pyran.
Question 48 Discuss

The method of separating a mixture of soluble solids by dissolving them in a suitable hot solvent and then lowering the temperature slowly is called:

A
fractional crystallisation
B
dephlegmation
C
azeotropic distillation
D
sublimation

Answer & Explanation

Correct Option: A

Fractional crystallization exploits differences in the solubilities of compounds at varying temperatures to achieve separation.
Question 49 Discuss

Which of the following statements best describes the Hardy Schulze rule?

A
liquid mixture is proportional to its mole fraction in that mixture.
B
The partial pressure of a component in
C
This is applied to obtain a colloidal solution of metals such as gold, silver or platinum.
D
The amount of electrolyte required for the coagulation of a definite amount of a colloidal solution is dependent on the valency of the coagulating ion.

Answer & Explanation

Correct Option: D

The rule states that the power of an ion to coagulate a colloid increases dramatically with the ion's valency.
Question 50 Discuss

Which of the following reactions leads to the formation of glucose pentaacetate from acetic anhydride?

A
