    In stoichiometric calculations

    • The reaction can be reversile

    • Side products can be formed

    • Law of conservation of mass may not be obeyed

    • Law of definite proportions is definitely obeyed

    Correct Answer
    A. Law of definite proportions is definitely obeyed
    Explanation
    The law of definite proportions states that a chemical compound always contains the same elements in the same proportions by mass. This means that regardless of the reaction being reversible or side products being formed, the ratio of elements in a compound will remain constant. Stoichiometric calculations involve determining the quantities of reactants and products in a chemical reaction based on the balanced equation. Since stoichiometry is based on the law of definite proportions, it ensures that the calculations are accurate and consistent with the composition of the compounds involved.

    The mass of one mole of electrons is

    • 1.008 mg

    • 0.55 mg

    • 0.184 mg

    • 1.673 mg

    Correct Answer
    A. 0.55 mg
    Explanation
    The mass of one mole of electrons is 0.55 mg. This is because the molar mass of electrons is approximately 5.4858 x 10^-4 g/mol, which is equivalent to 0.55 mg/mol. The molar mass is calculated by taking the atomic mass of an element and expressing it in grams per mole. In this case, since electrons are subatomic particles and not elements, their molar mass is very small compared to other substances.

    As compared to pure atomic orbitals the orbitals have:

    • High energy

    • Low energy

    • Same energy

    • Variable energy

    Correct Answer
    A. Low energy
    Explanation
    The statement suggests that the orbitals have low energy compared to pure atomic orbitals. This implies that the electrons in these orbitals are more stable and closer to the nucleus, resulting in lower energy levels. This could be due to the formation of molecular orbitals through the combination of atomic orbitals. In molecular orbitals, the electrons are shared between two or more atoms, leading to a decrease in energy.

    X-rays are attached towards:

    • Cathode

    • Any Electrode

    • Anode

    • None of electrode

    Correct Answer
    A. None of electrode
    Explanation
    X-rays are not attached to any specific electrode. X-rays are generated when high-energy electrons collide with a target material, typically a metal such as tungsten, in a device called an X-ray tube. The high-energy electrons are produced at the cathode and accelerated towards the anode. When the electrons hit the target material, X-rays are emitted. Therefore, X-rays are not attached to any electrode but are produced as a result of the interaction between the high-energy electrons and the target material.

    A basic buffer solution can be prepared by mixing:

    • Strong acid and its salt with weak base

    • Weak base and its salt with strong acid

    • Strong base and its salt with weak acid

    • Weak acid and its salt with strong base

    Correct Answer
    A. Weak base and its salt with strong acid
    Explanation
    A basic buffer solution can be prepared by mixing a weak base and its salt with a strong acid. This is because a weak base can partially react with the strong acid, forming the salt and water. The salt then acts as a reservoir of the conjugate base of the weak base, which can react with any additional acid that is added to the solution, preventing a significant change in the pH. Therefore, this combination is able to resist changes in pH and maintain the solution's basic nature.

    I molar volume of a gas at S.T.P is occupied by

    • 1 g of gas

    • 6 x 1023g of gas

    • 22.4 m3of gas

    • 1 gram molecular mass of gas

    Correct Answer
    A. 1 gram molecular mass of gas
    Explanation
    The molar volume of a gas at STP (Standard Temperature and Pressure) is the volume occupied by one mole of gas. This means that if we have one mole of gas, it will occupy a volume of 22.4 m^3. The answer "1 gram molecular mass of gas" is correct because a mole of any substance contains Avogadro's number of particles, which is approximately 6 x 10^23. Therefore, if we have one mole of gas, it will contain 6 x 10^23 particles, regardless of their mass.
