Answer Key, Explanations and References
(1). Ans. (b). 0.0965 nm
(2). Ans. (b). 1.4 Å
(3). Ans. (a). 3.4
(4). Ans. (c). Non polar molecules are unable to form water-solute interaction
(5). Ans. (b). – O – H … O – X
(6). Ans. (a). Maximum in ice and minimum in water vapor
(7). Ans. (a). 10-13 M
For the calculation we have to use the ion product concept of water
The ion product of water Kw = [H+][OH-] = 1 X 10-14 M2
We know the concentration of OH- ions as 0.1
Substitute in the above equation and rearrange for [H+]
i.e., [H+] = Kw / [OH-] = 1 X 10-14 M2 / 0.1 M
= 10-14M2/10-1M
= 10-13M
(8). Ans. (a). More weaker
Ka is the dissociation constant of acids and bases. Higher values of Ka means, the acids of bases are readily dissociated to release corresponding H+ or OH- ions. Thus strong acids will have higher values of Ka than weak acids. The negative log of Ka is called pKa. Sine pKa is negative log of Ka, higher the pKa value, the weaker will be the acids.
(9). Ans. (c). – C – H
There is no significant difference between the electronegativity of C and H and hence they cannot produce a dipole.
(10). Ans. (d). The hydrogen atom and the two atoms that share it are in a straight line
(11). Ans. (a). CO2, O2 and N2 are non-polar and completely insoluble in water
(12). Ans. (d). As bicarbonate
Carbon dioxide forms carbonic acid (H2CO3) in aqueous solution and is transported as the HCO3- (bicarbonate) ions. Free bicarbonate is readily soluble in water.
(13). Ans. (b). All are polar and completely soluble in water
(14). Ans. (c). It can form micelles in water
(15). Ans. (c). H+ ions can move in water very fast by proton hopping.
Water has a slight tendency of ionization. Water molecules ionize into H+ and OH- ions. The H+ ions formed can immediately combine to intact H2O to form hydronium ion (H3O+). This hydronium ion can migrate to cathode under the electric current by proton hopping.
