Important Multiple Choice Questions and  answers

1. Acids, Bases and Salts

1. The gas liberated when an acid reacts with a metal is: (KSEEB MQP-1 2021-21)

A. Hydrogen          B. Chlorine         C. Carbon dioxide          D. Nitrogen dioxide

Ans: A. Hydrogen

Solution: 

As acid reacts with metal, hydrogen gas is released. A formation of gas bubbles has been observed along the metal’s surface. The bubbles are then passed into a soap solution, and when a burning candle is held close to the bubble, the gas in the soap bubble burns with a pop sound. As a result, it can be concluded that it is hydrogen since only hydrogen gas produces a popping sound when it burns.

Example:

When dilute HCl reacts with Zinc metal, hydrogen gas is liberated.

Zn + HCl → H2 + ZnCl2

2. As the pH value of a neutral solution increases (june-2020)

(A) basic property decreases and number of OH − ions increases

 (B) acidic property increases and number of H + ions decreases

(C) basic property increases and number of OH − ions increases

(D) acidic property decreases and number of H + ions increases.  

Ans: (C) basic property increases and number of OH − ions increases

Solution:

The lower range of pH scale (1 to 6) represents acidic nature, while upper range of pH scale (8 to 14) represents alkaline nature. Therefore, to increase the pH value of a neutral solution (pH = 7), we should add an alkali.

When the pH value increases, it means that the solution is becoming more basic,  For eg the neutral solution pH 7 increases to become a pH of 10 then here, the basic nature is increasing. The same applies for the case in the question.

We know that as basicity increases, OH⁻ ions increases. 

When the pH value decreases, it means that the solution is becoming acidic. we know that as acidity increases, H+ ions increases.

Hence, basic property increases and number of OH⁻  ions increases as pH value increases. Acidic property increases and number of H+  ions increases as pH value decreases..   

3. The chemical equation that represents neutralization reaction among the following is (March-2019)

 (A) BaCl2 + H 2SO4 → BaSO4 + 2HCl

(B) MnO2 + 4 HCl → MnCl2 + 2H2O + Cl2

 (C) 2 NaOH + H 2SO4 → Na2SO4 + 2H2O

(D) AgNO3 + HCl → AgCl + HNO3

Ans: (C) 2 NaOH + H 2SO4 → Na2SO+ 2H2O

Solution:

The neutralization reaction is the one in which an acid reacts with an equimolar amount of base to give salt and water. In neutralization reactions, the H+ of the acid combines with OH− ions of the base to form water and other reactants form the specific salt. The neutralization reaction has a pH of 7.

example the reaction between solutions of hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide. The overall equation for this reaction is: NaOH + HCl → H2O and NaCl.
