- A buffer contains 0.02 M acetic acid and 0.2 M sodium acetate. If p\(K_a\) of acetic acid is 4.74, the pH of the buffer is Answer: B. 5.74 pH =pK_a+log[salt]/[acid]=4.74+log10=5.74 . 1
- For the reaction \(\mathrm{N_2(g)+3H_2(g)\rightarrow2NH_3(g)}\) at 298 K, \(\Delta H-\Delta U\) is approximately Answer: A. -4.96 kJ Δ n_g=2-4=-2 ; Δ H-Δ U=Δ n_gRT=-2×8.314×298≈-4955 J. 1
- For a reaction \(\Delta H=+30\) kJ mol-1 and \(\Delta S=+100\) J K-1 mol-1. The reaction becomes spontaneous above Answer: B. 300 K Δ G<0 when T>Δ H/Δ S=30000/100=300 K. 1
- Given: \(\mathrm{C(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g)}\), \(\Delta H=-393.5\) kJ; \(\mathrm{CO(g)+\frac12O_2(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g)}\), \(\Delta H=-283.0\) kJ. The standard enthalpy of formation of CO(g) is Answer: D. -110.5 kJ mol-1 Subtract the second equation from the first: Δ_fH(CO)=-393.5-(-283.0)=-110.5 kJ mol⁻¹. 1
- For the Daniell cell \(\mathrm{Zn|Zn^{2+}(1M)||Cu^{2+}(1M)|Cu}\), \(E^\circ_{\mathrm{Zn}}=-0.76\) V and \(E^\circ_{\mathrm{Cu}}=+0.34\) V. The standard Gibbs energy change is Answer: C. -212.3 kJ E^°_cell=0.34-(-0.76)=1.10 V; Δ G^°=-nFE^°=-2×96500×1.10=-212.3 kJ. 1
- A current of 2 A is passed through CuSO4 solution for 965 s. The mass of copper deposited is (Cu = 63.5, F = 96500 C) Answer: A. 0.635 g Q=1930 C =0.02 F; Cu²⁺ needs 2F/mol, so 0.01 mol =0.635 g. 1

- The conductivity of a 0.1 M solution of an electrolyte is 0.0129 S cm-1. Its molar conductivity is Answer: A. 129 S cm2 mol-1 Lambda_m=1000kappa/C=1000×0.0129/0.1=129 S cm² mol⁻¹. 1
- The rate constant of a first-order reaction is \(6.93\times10^{-3}\) s-1. The time required for 75% completion is Answer: A. 200 s t_(1/2)=0.693/k=100 s; 75% completion takes two half-lives, i.e. 200 s. 1
- For the rate law \(r=k[\mathrm A]^2[\mathrm B]\), if [A] is doubled and [B] is halved, the rate becomes Answer: C. 2 times r'=k(2[mathrm A])²[mathrm B]/2=2r . 1
- The rate of a reaction doubles when temperature is raised from 300 K to 310 K. The activation energy is approximately (R = 8.314 J K-1 mol-1, log 2 = 0.301) Answer: C. 53.6 kJ mol-1 log2=E_a/2.303R·T₂-T₁/T₁T₂⇒ E_a=2.303×8.314×0.301×300×310/10≈53.6 kJ mol⁻¹. 1
- The shape of the XeF4 molecule is Answer: A. square planar Xe has 4 bond pairs and 2 lone pairs (sp³d²). The lone pairs sit trans to each other, giving a square planar shape. 1
- The oxidation state of sulphur in peroxodisulphuric acid (H2S2O8) is Answer: A. +6 There is one peroxide O–O link (each O −1) and six oxygens at −2: 2+2x-2-12=0⇒ x=+6 . 1
- The spin-only magnetic moment of Fe2+ ion (Z of Fe = 26) is Answer: A. 4.90 BM Fe²⁺ is 3d⁶ with 4 unpaired electrons: μ=√(4×6)=√(24)≈4.90 BM. 1
- In acidic medium, the number of moles of KMnO4 required to oxidise 1 mole of Fe2+ to Fe3+ is Answer: A. 0.2 mathrmMnO₄^-+5Fe²⁺+8H^+→ Mn²⁺+5Fe³⁺+4H₂O ; 1 mol Fe²⁺ needs 1/5 mol MnO₄⁻. 1
