4. i'm confused on this one too...it is calcium...ohhhh i get it!!! calcium is insoluble in excess NaOH...u see,since it was added too quickly, Al and Zn dissolved in excess...ammonium is not possible since it gives off a gas no matter what
6. changes in state involve the change in spacing BETWEEN molecules...remember that always.
7. r.f is dist travelled by solute/distance by solvent FROM THE POINT WHERE THE MIXTURE TO BE SEPARATED WAS PUT.
10. lead sulphate is insoluble....to make insoluble salts, u need soluble + soluble = insoluble + soluble ..answer is C ... D is not suitable because water is also formed...we need a soluble product,not just water
11. it is D.this is because XCl3 shows oxidation state of X is +3...look for the choice in which there's 3 of the other atoms.
17. increase in pressure would not help because there's 2 volumes of gases on both sides...the reaction is exothermic,so a decrease in temp. is most suitable...increase in temp. would cause decomposition,an endothermic process,of hydrogen iodide
21. it is a reducing agent...the test for oxidising agent is to react it with a reducing agent...the colour changes show that potassium dichromate and manganate have been reduced,by a REDUCING AGENT,the gas,i.e....
24. D...these are the characteristics of acids....what the examiner is asking is which statements show some chem/phy properties of acids.
26. remeber, sodium sulphate has the formula Na2SO4,so Se will also give Na2SeO4
32. P can be any of the MAZIT metals,which leads us to C or D. zinc needs carbon for reduction,whereas hydrogen is created...so,D is the answer
36. remember this-if a carbon is attached after the oxygen with the = double bond,then that one is the acid,with the single on,it is the alcohol...so,OCH3 is the alcohol part...one carbon means methanol...the other part has 3 carbons,so it is propanoic acid...
there u go..hope i'm not too late as i was tooo busy today...i tend to leave everything for the last day
