NEET TEST -5

➢ SOLUTION
1. The volume of 0.025M H3PO4 required to neutralise 25ml of 0.03M Ca(OH)2 is

a. 20ml b. 25ml c. 40ml d. 50ml

ANSWER: A. 20 mL

2H3PO4+3Ca(OH)2⟶Ca3(PO4)2+6H2O

2 moles of H3PO4 reacts with 3 moles of Ca(OH)2

As we know that,

No. of moles =V(in L)×M

Molarity of Ca(OH)2=0.03M

Volume of Ca(OH)2=25mL=2.5×10−2L

∴ No. of moles of Ca(OH)2=2.5×10−2×0.03=7.5×10−4 moles

No. of moles of H3PO4 required to react with 3 moles of CA(OH)2=2

No. of moles of H3PO4 required to react with 7.5×10−4 moles of CA(OH)2=23×7.5×10−4=5.0×10−4

As no. of moles of H3PO4 required is 5.0×10−4.

Given that molarity of H3PO4=0.025M

∴V=5×10−40.025=0.02L=20mL

Hence, 20 mL volume of 0.025M H3PO4 required to completely neutralise 25ml of 0.03M Ca(OH)2.

2. Which of the following should be done in order to prepare 0.4M NaCl starting with 100ml of
0.3M NaCl?

a. add 5.85g of NaCl

b. and 20ml water
c. add 0.01 mol NaCl
d. evaporate 10ml of water

ANSWER: C

We are to prepare 0⋅4M NaCl solution and we are starting with 100 ml, 0⋅3M NaCl solution. So, we only need
the moles corresponding to the difference in molarity of the two solutions.
Required moles =(0.4−0.3)×0.1=0.01
3. Equal volumes of 0.1M AgNO3 and 0.2M NaCl are mixed. The concentration of NO3– ions in the
mixture will be

a. 0.1M b.0.05M c. 0.2M d. 0.15M

ANSWER: B

Let the volume of both, AgNO3 and NaCl be V L.

Molarity=number of molesvolume of the solution in L
Number of moles of AgNO3=0.1 V
Moles of Ag+=moles of NO−3=0.1 V
So, molarity of NO−3=total moles of NO−3total volume of the solution in L=0.1V2V=0.05 M

6. The relationship between osmotic pressure at 273K when 10g glucose (P1), 10g urea (P2) and
10g sucrose (P3) are dissolved in 250ml of water is

a. P1 > P2 > P3
b. P3 > P1 > P2
c. P2 > P1 > P3
d. P2 > P3 > P1

ANSWER: C

We know that the osmostic pressure is given by Π=iMRT

where i is the Van't Hoff factor

M is the molarity

R=0.08206 L-atm mol−1 K−1 is the gas constant

T is the absolute temperature

Π∝M

Molarity is inversely proportional to molecular weight.

Molecular weight of glucose=180, urea=60, sucrose=342.

Osmotic pressure is also inversely proportional to molecular weight.

P1=Osmotic pressure of glucose (10 g)

P2=Osmotic pressure of urea (10 g)

P3=Osmotic pressure of sucrose (10 g)

So, P2>P1>P3

7. If at a certain temperature the vapour pressure of pure water is 25 mm Hg and that of a very

a. 0.02 b. 1.2 c. 1.11 d. 0.08

ANSWER: C

molarity of this solution is

a. 1.78M b. 1.02M c. 2.05M d. 0.50M

ANSWER: C

Total weight of solution = 1000 + 120 =1120g

Molarity =12060×1000×1.151120=2.05 M
9. 5 cm3 of acetone is added to 100 cm3 of water, the vapour pressure of water over the solution

(d) 1 × 96500 C
ANSWER: B

In acidic medium dichromate ions undergoes reduction and the reaction is,

Cr2O7+14H++6e−→2Cr3++7H2O

So, 1 mole of Cr2O2−7 ion requires 6 moles of electrons i.e. 6×96500C of electricity

➢ COORDINATION COMPOUND
19. When 0.1 mol CoCl3(NH3)5 is combined with excess AgNO3, then 0.2 mol AgCl is obtained. The
conductivity of the solution suits the

a. 1:3 electrolyte
b. 1:1 electrolyte
c. 3:1 electrolyte
 d. 1:2 electrolyte

ANSWER: D

One mole of AgNO3 accelerates one mole of chloride particle. In the above response, when 0.1 mole
COCl3(NH3)5 is treated with abundance of AgNO3, 0.2 mole of AgCl are obtained hence, there should
be two free chloride particles in the arrangement of electrolyte. Along these lines, atomic equation of
complex will be [CO(NH3)5Cl]Cl2 and electrolytic arrangement should contain [CO(NH3)5Cl]2+ and
two CT as constituent particles. Accordingly, it is 1 : 2 electrolyte.

30. The increasing order of nucleophilicity would be?

a. Cl– < Br– < I–

 b. I– < Cl– < Br–
c. Br– < Cl– < F–
d. I– < Br– < Cl–

ANSWER: A

The order of nucleophilicities of halides ions in water (default solvent) will be Cl−<Br−<I− The larger
the anion, the softer it is so there is less tendency to be a base. Also, as we go down this group
(halogens), the lone pairs tend to have a higher energy (higher principal quantum number) and thus
the electron pair of the nucleophile has a higher HOMO (highest occupied molecular orbital). This
translates to being a better or a more-capable nucleophile.
31. Which of the following is most reactive towards SN1 reaction?

a. C6H5C(CH3)C6H5Br
b. C8H5CH2Br
c. C6H5CH(C6H5)Br

34. C-Cl bond of chlorobenzene in comparison to C-Cl bond in methyl chloride is

a. Longer and weaker

b. Shorter and weaker
c. Shorter and stronger
d. Longer and stronger

ANSWER: C

The C−Cl bond in C6H5Cl is shorter than in CH3Cl and therefore, stronger. The lone pair of electrons on
chlorine are dispersed throughout the benzene ring by resonance. This gives the C−Cl bond, a double
bond character.

36. The decreasing order of boiling points of alkyl halides is

a. RF > RCl > RBr > RI

b. RBr > RCl > RCl > RF
c. RI > RBr > RCl > RF
d. RCl > RF > RI > RBr

ANSWER: C

The boiling points of alkyl halides decrease in the order RI> RBr> RCl> RF. This is because as the size of
halogen increases, the magnitude of van der Waals forces increase, and hence the boiling point
increase.
