In which of the following changes the nitrogen atom is reduced?
Correct Answer
C. N2 to NH3
Explanation
The correct answer is N2 to NH3. In this reaction, nitrogen gas (N2) is reduced to ammonia (NH3). Reduction is a chemical reaction that involves the gain of electrons or a decrease in oxidation state. In this case, the nitrogen atom in N2 gains three hydrogen atoms, resulting in a decrease in its oxidation state from 0 to -3. Therefore, the nitrogen atom is reduced in the conversion of N2 to NH3.
2.
Which of the following reaction is an example of oxidation?
Correct Answer
B. Silver atom tosilver (I) iron
Explanation
The reaction "Silver atom to silver (I) iron" is an example of oxidation because silver is losing electrons and increasing its oxidation state from 0 to +1. In this reaction, the silver atom is being oxidized to form a silver ion with a +1 charge.
3.
Which of the following element in the given reaction is reduced?
Zn + H2 ---------------> Zn + H2O
Correct Answer
C. Zn
Explanation
In the given reaction, Zn (Zinc) is reduced. This is because reduction involves the gain of electrons, and in this reaction, Zn goes from being in its elemental form (Zn) to being in a compound form (ZnO). This indicates that Zn has gained oxygen and therefore electrons, making it the element that is reduced in the reaction.
4.
Consider the following reaction
H2S + Cl2 -----------------> 2HCl
in this reaction how H2S behave as?
Correct Answer
A. Reducing agent
Explanation
In the given reaction, H2S is behaving as a reducing agent. This is because it is being oxidized (losing electrons) while Cl2 is being reduced (gaining electrons). A reducing agent is a substance that donates electrons to another substance, causing it to be reduced. In this reaction, H2S is donating electrons to Cl2, which results in the formation of HCl. Therefore, H2S is acting as a reducing agent in this reaction.
5.
The oxidation state of Cr in K2Cr2O7 is?
Correct Answer
B. 6
Explanation
The oxidation state of Cr in K2Cr2O7 is 6 because each oxygen atom has an oxidation state of -2, and each potassium atom has an oxidation state of +1. Since the overall charge of K2Cr2O7 is 0, the sum of the oxidation states of all the atoms must equal 0. Therefore, the oxidation state of Cr can be calculated as follows: 2(+1) + 2(6) + 7(-2) = 0. This equation simplifies to 2 + 12 - 14 = 0, which means the oxidation state of Cr is 6.
6.
Which of the following statement is not correct about the Galvanic cell?
Correct Answer
C. Electrons flow from cathode to anode
Explanation
The statement "Electrons flow from cathode to anode" is not correct about the Galvanic cell. In a Galvanic cell, electrons flow from the anode to the cathode. The anode is where oxidation occurs and electrons are released, while the cathode is where reduction occurs and electrons are gained. Therefore, the correct statement is that electrons flow from anode to cathode in a Galvanic cell.
7.
Which of the following statement is not true about Danielle about Daniel cell
Correct Answer
A. Half cell of an active metal x as cathode
Explanation
The statement that is not true about the Daniell cell is that the half cell of an active metal x is the cathode. In a Daniell cell, the half cell of an active metal (such as zinc) is the anode, while the half cell containing an element in contact with its own ions in aqueous solution (such as copper) is the cathode. The ASR Bridge connects the two half cells, and a spontaneous oxidation-reduction reaction occurs, generating electricity.
8.
Which of the following do not involve electrolytic process?
Correct Answer
D. Reduction of metal oxide by a reducing agent
Explanation
The electrolytic process involves the use of an electric current to cause a chemical reaction. Refining of copper, manufacturing of sodium from NaCl, and electroplating of steel all involve electrolytic processes. However, the reduction of metal oxide by a reducing agent does not involve the use of an electric current. Instead, it involves the use of a reducing agent to remove oxygen from the metal oxide, resulting in the reduction of the metal.
9.
Galvanizing is?
Correct Answer
B. Coating with Zn
Explanation
Galvanizing refers to the process of coating a metal surface with zinc. This is done to protect the metal from corrosion and rusting. Zinc acts as a sacrificial anode, meaning it corrodes preferentially to the metal underneath, thereby preventing the underlying metal from being exposed to the corrosive environment. Galvanizing is commonly used in industries such as construction, automotive, and manufacturing to increase the lifespan and durability of metal structures and products.
10.
Which of the following is true for Nelson cell?
Correct Answer
B. Chlorine gas is produced at anode
Explanation
In a Nelson cell, chlorine gas is produced at the anode. This is because the Nelson cell is an electrolytic cell used for the production of chlorine gas. The anode is the positive electrode where oxidation occurs, and in this case, it is the site where chloride ions are oxidized to produce chlorine gas. The other options are incorrect as they do not align with the purpose and functioning of a Nelson cell.
