1. Which of the following is used for dissolution of gold ?

Aqua- regia

Sulphuric acid

Hydrochloride acid

Nitric acid

Answer: Aqua- regia

Explanation:

Aqua-regia is used for the dissolution of gold. It is a solution of concentrated HNO3 and concentrated HCl in the ratio of 1:3. Thus this solution is strongly acidic and is used to dissolve gold.


2. Which of the following statement is or are incorrect ?

The acids prepared from the minerals of the earth are called mineral acids.

Concentrated mineral acids are weak acids, so they are not very dangerous.

Organic acids are weak acids, so it is not harmful to eat or drink.

The acids present in plants materials and animals are called organic acids.

Answer: Concentrated mineral acids are weak acids, so they are not very dangerous.

Explanation:

The acids prepared from the minerals of the earth are called mineral acids. Mineral acids are manmade acids. The three most common mineral acids are: Hydrochloric acid, Sulphuric acid and Nitric acid. Concentrated mineral acids are very dangerous. They can burn our hands and clothes. These acids should be handled with care.

4. Calcium phosphate is present in tooth enamel. its nature is ?

Neutral

Amphoteric

Basic

Acidic

Answer: Basic

Explanation:

Calcium phosphate Ca3(PO4)2 is basic salt, as it is formed by the combination of a weak acid (phosphoric acid) and slightly stronger base (calcium hydroxide). Bacteria feed on sugars commonly found in foods and produce acids in the mouth decreasing the pH level to 5.5 or lower. Thus, eroding the enamel that is basic in nature.


5. Tooth enamel is made up of ?

potassium

calcium phosphate

calcium oxide

calcium carbonate

Answer: calcium phosphate

Explanation:

9. When hydrogen chloride gas is prepared on a humid day, the gas is usually passed through the guard tube containing calcium chloride. The role of calcium chloride taken in the guard tube is to ?

absorb moisture from the gas

moisten the gas

absorb Cl– ions from the evolved gas

absorb the evolved gas

Answer: absorb moisture from the gas

Explanation:

Guard tube drys (absorbs water) from calcium chloride on a humid day.
