Due to a significant difference between the 5th and 6th IEs, it can be deduced that X is in Group V of the periodic table with charge -3. It will mst probably form a covalent chloride XCl3.

28. B
Dissolving occurs due to hydrogen bonding between hydrogens or its isotopes that are directly bonded to oxygen, nitrogen or flourine, with water molecules. In this case, hydrogens directly bonded to oxygen are to be replaced, so apparently there would be 3 replacements.

3. C
At room temperature, post reaction gases are unreacted O2, CO2 and SO2. No need to take molar ratios, gaseus ratios are taken. 30 cm3 of O2 is left after reacton (30 cm3 reacts with 10cm3 of the thiol), 10 cm3 each of SO2 and CO2 are produced. Total is 50 cm3.

May June 2008 - Q7 - Aluminium is a metal so metalic bond but phosphoros is a non metal and has covalent bonds so not A. Argon is monatomic and chlorine is diatomic so not B. Magnesium is a meta sulphur is non metal so different bonds. Sulphur and chlorine are both non metals with covalents bonds between atoms so its D

May 2008 - Q26 - the alcohol is HO-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-OH. This is becaus only primary alcohols get oxidised to acids. secondry and tertiary alcohols dont. hence OH is at 1st and 4th carbon so its C.

ON07 Q10

2 : 2 : 1
Start: 4 : 0 : 0
Equilibrium: 2.4 : 1.6 : 0.8 [If you don't understand how these concentration values have been reached, ask!]

[Products]/[Reactants]
([0.8][1.6]^2)/[2.4]^2

Q1

6CaO + P4O10 -> 2Ca3(PO4)2

So, D

2-

14g per 5dm3
so
2.8g per dm3

100g contains 15g N
2.8g will contain 0.42g of N

Conc: 0.42g/dm3
divide it by Ar to get mol/dm3
Hence, 0.03. So, A.

6-

15-

CaCO3 -> CaO + CO2

1200 ton = 1200/100 = 12mol [in terms of tonnes]
12*44 = 528 tonnes

Hence, B

31-

C2H5OH + 3O2 -> 2CO2 + 3H2O

Since 1 is wrong, it has to be C.

Just to check,
C2H2 + 5/2O2 -> 2CO2 + H2O

CH3CHO + 5/2O2 -> 2CO2 + 2H2O
And again, C.
