MCQ practice · SSC Chemistry Board questions · Chapter 6: Concept of Mole and Chemical Counting
Of the stimulus:
- i. The gas formed in vessel A is acidic
- ii. The reaction in vessel B is a redox reaction
- iii. 1 mole of the compound formed in vessel B = 62 g
Think it through first, then pick an option.
- a i and ii
- b ii and iii
- c i and iii
- d i, ii and iii
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: c i and iii
i is true: CO₂ is an acidic oxide. iii is true: in B, H₂CO₃ = 2 + 12 + 48 = 62, so 1 mole = 62 g. ii is false: not redox.
Why the other options are wrong
- a i and ii: ii is wrong: CO₂ + H₂O → H₂CO₃ changes no oxidation number, so it is not redox; and the true i is left out.
- b ii and iii: ii is wrong: the reaction is not redox; and the true i (CO₂ is acidic) is left out.
- d i, ii and iii: ii is wrong: CO₂ + H₂O → H₂CO₃ is not redox, so not all three are true.
