+ve
-
–ve
-
+ve or – ve
-
Zero
Correct Answer
A. –veExplanation
An exothermic reaction is a reaction that releases heat to its surroundings. The negative sign in front of the answer indicates that the enthalpy change (∆H) for an exothermic reaction is negative. This means that the products of the reaction have a lower energy than the reactants, and energy is released during the reaction.Rate this question:

The efficiency of heat engine is always:
-
Less than one
-
More than one
-
Zero
-
None of these
Correct Answer
A. Less than oneExplanation
The efficiency of a heat engine is always less than one because it represents the ratio of useful work output to the total energy input. In any heat engine, some energy is always lost as waste heat, resulting in a decrease in the efficiency. Therefore, the efficiency value will always be less than one, indicating that not all of the input energy is converted into useful work.Rate this question:

The standard electrode potential of the hydrogen electrode.
-
Positive
-
Negative
-
Zero
-
Both positive and negative
Correct Answer
A. ZeroExplanation
The standard electrode potential of the hydrogen electrode is zero because it is used as a reference electrode to measure the electrode potentials of other half-cells. The hydrogen electrode consists of a platinum electrode in contact with a solution of hydrogen ions at a pressure of 1 atm. The electrode potential is measured relative to the standard hydrogen electrode, which is assigned a value of zero. This means that the hydrogen electrode does not have a tendency to gain or lose electrons and serves as a baseline for comparing the electrode potentials of other half-cells.Rate this question:

The sum of pH and pOH will be
-
0
-
10
-
7
-
14
Correct Answer
A. 14Explanation
The sum of pH and pOH will be 14 because pH and pOH are related to each other through the equation pH + pOH = 14. The pH scale measures the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution, while the pOH scale measures the concentration of hydroxide ions. Since the sum of the concentrations of hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions in a solution is always constant at 10^-14 M^2, the sum of pH and pOH will always be 14.Rate this question:

Organic compounds are non-conductors of electricity because they:
-
Are insoluble in water
-
Do not form ions
-
Have low melting point
-
Form free radicals
Correct Answer
A. Do not form ionsExplanation
Organic compounds are non-conductors of electricity because they do not form ions. Unlike inorganic compounds, which often dissociate into ions in water, organic compounds do not have the ability to form ions due to their molecular structure. This lack of ions prevents the flow of electric current through the compound, making it a non-conductor of electricity.Rate this question:

Heterolytic fission of C-Br bond results in the formation of:
-
Free radicals
-
Carbanion
-
Carbocation
-
Carbanion and carbocation
Correct Answer
A. Carbanion and carbocationExplanation
Heterolytic fission of a C-Br bond results in the formation of a carbanion and a carbocation. Heterolytic fission occurs when the bond breaks unevenly, with one atom receiving both electrons from the bond. In this case, the carbon atom gains the electron pair, forming a carbanion, while the bromine atom becomes positively charged, forming a carbocation. This process is a common reaction in organic chemistry, often seen in nucleophilic substitution reactions involving alkyl halides.Rate this question:

Resonance is not exhibited by
-
Phenol
-
Aniline
-
Nitrobenzene
-
Cyclohexane
Correct Answer
A. CyclohexaneExplanation
Resonance is a phenomenon where electrons are delocalized and can move between different atoms or bonds. It is typically observed in molecules with conjugated systems, such as phenol, aniline, and nitrobenzene, where there are alternating double and single bonds. However, cyclohexane does not have any conjugated systems or alternating double and single bonds, so it does not exhibit resonance.Rate this question:

Which of the following species does not act as nucleophile?
-
ROH
-
ROR
-
PCl3
-
BF3
Correct Answer
A. BF3Explanation
BF3 does not act as a nucleophile because it does not have a lone pair of electrons to donate. Nucleophiles are species that donate electron pairs to form new chemical bonds. In the case of BF3, it is an electron-deficient molecule with an incomplete octet, meaning it lacks the necessary electron pair to act as a nucleophile.Rate this question:

Which of the following alkanes can not be prepared by Wurtz reaction?
-
Methane
-
Ethane
-
Propane
-
Butane
Correct Answer
A. MethaneExplanation
The Wurtz reaction is a method used to prepare alkanes by reacting alkyl halides with sodium metal in the presence of an inert solvent. However, methane cannot be prepared by the Wurtz reaction because it does not have a halogen atom to react with sodium metal. Methane is the simplest alkane and consists of only one carbon atom bonded to four hydrogen atoms. Since it lacks a halogen atom, it cannot undergo the Wurtz reaction.Rate this question:
