1. In electrolytic refining of copper, the electrolyte used is ?

CuSO4(s)

Cu(OH)2

CuO

Acidified CuSO4(aq)

Answer: Acidified CuSO4(aq)

Explanation:


2. Which of the following metals are obtained by electrolysis of their chlorides in molten state ?

Na and Fe

Na and Ca

Fe and Cu

Na and Cu

Answer: Na and Ca

Explanation:

Sodium and calcium are very reactive metals and are placed towards the top of the reactivity series. These are produced by the electrolysis of their molten chlorides. The metal ions are deposited at negatively charged cathode and chlorine is deposited at positively charged anode.


3. Metals are refined by using different methods. which of the following metals are refined by electrolytic refining ?

Na and K

Cu and Na

Au and Cu

Au and Na

Answer: Au and Cu

Explanation:


4. Which one of the following properties is not generally exhibited by ionic compounds ?

Electrical conductivity in molten state

High melting and boiling points

Electrical conductivity in solid state

Solubility in water

Answer: Electrical conductivity in solid state

Explanation:

In solid state, ions in ionic compounds are not free to move. Thus, such compounds do not show electrical conductivity in solid state. Whereas, in molten state, ions are free to move and hence conduct electricity.


5. Volatile metals are purified by ?

Electrolytic refining

Liquation

Distillation

Oxidation

Answer: Distillation

Explanation:


6. Which of the following is used for making magnets ?

bronze

duralumin

magnalium

alnico

Answer: alnico

Explanation:


7. White phosphorus is stored in ?

kerosene oil

ether

water

alcohol

Answer: water
