Multiple Choice Questions - Set - 4

Question 1: 

Which of the following pairs will give displacement reactions?

(a) NaCl solution and copper metal

(b) MgCl2 solution and aluminium metal

(c) FeSO4 solution and silver metal

(d) AgNO3 solution and copper metal

Correct Answer – (D)

Copper (Cu) being more reactive than silver (Ag), displaces silver from silver nitrate (AgNO3) to form copper nitrate

2AgNO+ Cu  →  Cu(NO3)2+  2Ag

Question 2 : 

Which of the following represent the correct order of decreasing reactivity?

a) Mg > Al > Zn > Fe

b) Mg > Zn > Al > Fe

c) Al > Zn > Fe > Mg

d) Mg > Fe > Zn > Al

Correct Answer – (A)

The decreasing order of the reactivity of the common metals is given below:

            Li, K, Na, Ba, Ca, Mg , Al, Mn, Zn, Fe, Ni, Sn, Pb, [H], Cu,Hg, Ag, Au,Pt 

Question 3 : 

In electrolytic refining, the cathode is made up of

a) Pure metal

b) Impure metal

c) Alloy

d) Metallic salt

Correct Answer – (A)
In electrolytic refining of a metal, the cathode is made up of pure metal whereas the anode is made up of impure metal.

Question 4 : 

The metal which is liquid at room temperature is

a) Bromine

b) Mercury

c) Iodine

d) Potassium

Correct Answer – (B)
Mercury is the only metal which exists as a liquid at room temperature.

Question 5 : 

The number of protons in an atom of an element A is 19 then, the number of electron in its ion A+ is:

a) 18

b) 19

c) 20

d) 21

Correct Answer – (A)

Question 6 : 

An element reacts with oxygen to give a compound with a high melting point. This compound is also soluble in water. The element is likely to be

(a) Ca

(b) C

(c) Si

(d) Fe

Correct Answer – (A)
Calcium reacts with oxygen to give calcium oxide (CaO) which is having a high melting point and dissolves in water to  form calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2)along with the release of large amount of thermal energy.

Question 7 : 

In the given reaction, Al2O+ NaOH   →  ……X……   +  H2O

What is element X?

a) NaAlO2

b) Na3Al

c) Na2O3

d) NaAl2O3

Correct Answer – (A)

Aluminium oxide is amphoteric in nature, i.e., it reacts with acids as well as bases to form salt and water.

Here, aluminium oxide behaves as an acid as it reacts with NaOH, a base and forms sodium aluminate (NaAlO2) and water:

Al2O+ NaOH   →  2NaAlO2+  H2O

Question 8 : 

The sulphide ores are converted into oxides by heating strongly in the presence of excess air. This process is known as

a) Roasting

b) Smelting

c) Calcination

d) Refining

Correct Answer – (A)
The process of heating the sulphide ore strongly in the presence of air to convert it into metal oxide, is known as roasting.

Question 9 : 

Bauxite is an ore of

a) Iron

b) Aluminium

c) Mercury

d) Copper

Correct Answer – (B)
Bauxite is a commercial ore of aluminium which consists largely of hydrated aluminium oxide, Al2O3.2H2O. 

Question 10 : 

The non-metal which is liquid at room temperature is:

a) Mercury

b) Bromine

c) Carbon

d) Helium

Correct Answer – (B)
