In question. 11, one mole of the compound gives 3 moles of carbon so it's C since o.072/24 is .03 so the number if moles of the compound should be 1/3rd of the number of moles of carbon that it would produced-.01-so C is correct

How does solid iodine contain more then one type of bonding? Why is there only one kind in silicon dioxide?

Two kinds of bonding, covalent bonds between I and I atoms, intermolecular bonds among I2 molecules.

Is 23 B cause then it can follow a 1:2:1 ratio and ethens can form 50% of the products

Guys i need ur help in this
Q2 and 13 are done

Metanoia , ZaqZainab , @ Every One , Could u Plz help me with this
http://papers.xtremepapers.com/CIE/Cambridge International A and AS Level/Chemistry (9701)/9701_s05_qp_1.pdf

Q2..Answer B
Q13.Answer B>>>Why it is not Mg ??Mg is just beside Al , so i thought that it will have a similar Electronegativity as Mg.
Q15.Answer C>>>When H2SO4 acts as an acid and when it acts as an oxidizing agent?
Q31.Answer A>>>I know that this is simple, but i am always confused with this type,So is there any hint??
Q32.Answer D
Q33.Answer B
Q40.Answer B

THNX in advance

Is 32 B. it behaves no ideally because volume is directly proportioned al to temperature for an ideal gas and it partially turns into a liquid because its volume decreases which means that the morgues are closing together and ate experiencing relatively stronger intermolecular forces

 

[Metanoia]

Can you please explain further more for the Q27? Can you also please draw (CH3)3CCH2OH? I thought it is a tertiary alcohol? And why is it resistant to dehydration but not the second one? Sorry! But Thank you so so much! Next time I will include answers in it

Hmm...perhaps you try drawing out the 2 alcohols, so I can check how you visualise the structures.

Guys i need ur help in this
Q2 and 13 are done

Electronegativity increases down a period and up a group because the effective nuclear charge is the greatest. Sulfuric acid usually acts as an acid but acts as an oxidizing agent when it itself gets reduced into sulfur, sulfurdioxide or hydrogen sulfide. HI and HBr ate strong enough reducing agents to reduce sulfuric acid

Q3...Answer B>>>I cant understand the question :s
Q12..Answer D>>>Shouldnt the answer be B ,cuz for Mg--> Mg+0.5 O2=MgO
for Al --> 2Al+1.5 O2=Al2O3
for S --> S+O2 = So2
Q17..Answer B>>>I cant understand a single word
Q18..Answer C
Q20..Answer B>>>Should i include the Structural isomer also ?
Q24..Answer C
Q30..Answer B
Q31..Answer A>>>Wat the exactly want??
Q33..Answer A>>> How could i know that 2 and 3 are also correct
Q34..Answer B

Q_IS there any way that could help me to know if the reaction is Electrophillic or Nucleophillic??

Can anybody please explain question 11 ans C, 23 ans B, 32 ans D?

s11qp12

short answer, cross the Al3+ and C4- charges, though it might not always work.

Long answer
Understand that whatever moles of C we have at the beginning will eventually be the same number of moles of C in CO2 at the end.

Let x and y be the ratio of Al and C respectively.
AlxCy --->???---> CO2

Working backwards from CO2,
moles of CO2 = 72/24 000 = 0.003 moles = moles of C in AlxCy

Going through the options
A Al 2C3, moles of Al2C3 = 0.144/90 = 0.0016, moles of C = 0.0016 x 3 = 0.0048 (incorrect)
B Al 3C4 , moles of Al3C4 = 0.144/129 = 0.0016, moles of C = 0.0016 x 4 = 0.0045 (incorrect)
C Al 4C3 , moles of Al4C3 = 0.144/144 = 0.001, moles of C = 0.001 x 3 = 0.003 (BINGO!)
D Al 5C3

Q23.

CxHy --> CH4 + 2C2H4 + C3H6
x = 8, H=18

Q32. If gas was ideal, it volume would decrease by 4 times (76 to 19cm^3) when pressure was increased by four times.
However, its volume decreased to 25 cm^3 instead. It just means it does not follow ideal gas law, i.e. not ideal.

Guys, please don't keep copying and pasting your questions. Its very hard to keep track.

If there are questions you already understood while waiting, its better to update your original posts.

Be patient.

In q32, does the gas partially turn into a liquid too?

FOR Q11

s11qp12

Q11.
Some students have suggested using Al3+ and "crossing it" with C4- to get Al4C3

The "crossing of charges method" does give us the correct answer in this case, so if all else fails, I guess we can use it. However, lets see if we can make us of the other information given.

Understand that whatever moles of C we have at the beginning will eventually be the same number of moles of C in CO2 at the end.

Let x and y be the ratio of Al and C respectively.
AlxCy --->???---> CO2

Working backwards from CO2,
moles of CO2 = 72/24 000 = 0.003 moles = moles of C in AlxCy

Going through the options
A Al 2C3, moles of Al2C3 = 0.144/90 = 0.0016, moles of C = 0.0016 x 3 = 0.0048 (incorrect)
B Al 3C4 , moles of Al3C4 = 0.144/129 = 0.0016, moles of C = 0.0016 x 4 = 0.0045 (incorrect)
C Al 4C3 , moles of Al4C3 = 0.144/144 = 0.001, moles of C = 0.001 x 3 = 0.003 (BINGO!)
D Al 5C3

Q23.
To be honest, I feel that the wording in this question is a bit imprecise and can be misinterpreted.
Using the most straightforward interpretation:
CH4 : C2H4: C3H6
1: 2 : 1
Adding up the C and H, we have C8H18
