let's get down to business okay question
one reads which of the following is an
example of the application of chemistry
in the home now this question is
specific so you have to be taking note
of the key words
okay so the key word here that is this
one application of chemistry in a home
now
chemistry is applicable in almost
everything that we do in life but this
particular situation they want the
application of chemistry in your home so
basically we want to look at the thing
that we do in a home and which ones are
chemistry so basically anything that
involves reactions anything that
involves chemical like is from the home
ok let's look at the choices that we
have a we have the use of amplifiers in
radio B we have the use of cosmetics C
we have production of ammonia in the
hubba process and option D we have
industrial production oh oh now let's
start from D D cannot be the answer
because even in the beginning we are
safe industrial production so this one
is an industrial industrial application
let's go to C now production of ammonia
in the Haber process that is also an
industrial production where ammonia is
produced in the large quantities salt
that one is out now let's look at the
use of cosmetics so the use of cosmetics
we are talking about things like lotions
soaps and so on and so forth things that
we tend to using the things for our body
lotion for our bodies chemicals for the
hair and other chemicals so those go for
under cosmetics so definitely we was the
correct answer here
now why is a not the correct answer the
use of amplifiers in the radio wow this
is more physics and chemistry so the
correct answer for a one is B let's go
to question two the best operators that
is used to accurately measure a required
fixed
on the reagent during titration is now
let's look at the choices that we have
so choice a this is a measuring some
sort of a beaker okay so this one it
does not give specific volumes okay
then B this is a pipette as you can see
most of it fits there even written to a
transit meter cubic meaning this one can
only measure 25 centimeter cubic so this
is accurately the required volume so
whenever you will need to measure an
exact amount of volume during at
Electrician we use what we call a pivot
so B is a pivot then C this is just
another type of the measuring cylinder
then till this one is a burette
so impurity is used when titrating that
is where we put mostly the solution
mousse concentration is known so the
best answer also in here is B for my
explanation P is a bit better and a
pipette is mostly used when you are
trying to measure an exact volume during
a titration okay we proceed question 3
the question reads the best method to
separate a mixture of sand and diesel is
now let's look at the choices so choice
a is taken tension now in order for us
to choose we need to be understanding
what each of these option means so the
contention is simply a method that is
used to separate liquids and solids in a
scenario where a liquid can be pulled
out leaving the solid into a containing
vessel for example a stone and water we
can gently pull out the water leaving
the stone in today container so that is
an example scenario where we use
decantation so meaning sand cannot wait
because we are pouring sand can also
come out together without the desert
okay then
distillation this one is a general
process which can be categorized into
two we have what we call fractional
distillation and we have what we call
simple distillation so fractional
distillation is used to separate
miscible liquids than up with different
boiling points for example water and
even then simple distillation is used to
a simple distillation is used to
separate substances that can vaporize
and be condensed back into a liquid okay
let's look at C so C is evaporation so
usually this one is used to separate
water from a solution okay for example a
salt solution we can remove the water
layer leaving the SWAT crystals or they
are cone or even a sugar solution let's
look at filtration so filtration this is
the one which usually we can use to
separate a mixture of liquid and smaller
solids for example the sand they deserve
isn't biblical and the Sun is in certain
point so the Sun is going to be trapped
on the fuel filter paper and it will be
called the residues then the diesel who
passed through as a filtrate which will
be collected in a beaker or any
receiving vessel okay so the best answer
that we had for question three is D okay
let's proceed to question for question 4
is identify an inert gas from the
diagram below
okay so diagram a this one as you can
see it represents what we call a
diatomic gas because there are two atoms
this is an atom and that is an item so
this one represents a diatomic gas then
P this one represents what we are
calling a mixture so B represents what
we are calling a mixture because you can
see there are two different types of
atoms in here and we are not chemically
combined so this is definitely a mixture
then we look at this one this one is
this specific it's a mono atomic gas
okay it is specific it's mono atomic and
there is no combination of anything else
oh this one is a mono atomic gas then D
this one is a compound because you can
see the two atoms
actually chemically combined okay so now
the question reads identify an inert gas
so an inert gas is definitely C because
this one is the only one which shows a
mono atomic gas okay we can proceed to
question five the following equation is
incomplete now they are same two lithium
hydroxide plus sulfuric acid is equals
to X now here we need to have our basic
knowledge we need to have our basic
knowledge which says when you add an
acid so when you add an acid so I'm just
trying to summarize an equation here an
acid plus a base
so this bu before the best it is going
to give us what we call a sort okay sort
so we're going to have a salt plus water
so a salt plus water
so this one is water that is the general
equation for the reaction between so now
we are saying every time lithium
hydroxide or hydroxide a basis there how
come is to be specific
then this h2so4 is an acid so acid plus
base will give us a salt and water so
now how do we know we get the metal
patch here the metal part of the best
plus the last part of a acid they tend
to combine together that is what holds a
salt then the remaining patch here the
whole edge and the h2 is what is going
to give us the water so if we get the
medium and the South it there so we
discover to say this is err area and
lithium has got a balance of 1 then the
South hso4 this definitely has a balance
of 2 so when we swap is 2 here we are
going to find
Oh Mira li-2 yes oh oh so this is the
name of the sort that we are going to
form then this one will be plus the
water which is h2o so this is what we
expect so X we expect that it is going
to be this one
okay so let's check on the choices if we
have anything that looks like this okay
and also always remember to balance out
the equation so since there is two
lithium decide even this lithium is two
there is two hydrogen this side then
let's check also here meaning on water
we are supposed to add it to so that the
hydrogen's we have here is two plus the
two here which is four so even here
therefore then the oxygens here we have
four oxygen plus this oxygen that is
there making it six even on the product
side here we are also having two oxygen
plus 4 which is 6 so this is the rest so
let's check an option a is Li to s Co 4
plus 2 so this one is definitely our
answer according to our analysis ok so
we can proceed I think there is no any
other answer here so we can proceed we
go to question 6 which reads which of
the following molecules has a triple
bonds which of the following molecules
has a triple bonds
now chlorine two chlorines that is two
chlorines they are simply going to do
something like CL CL and then this one
it lacks one so they are going to share
just 1 so it is going to just be like
that because when a 1 dash represents a
bond this one represents a bond which
represents two electrons so only two
electrons are shared here okay so we
have analyzed a doesn't have a triple
bond let's go to B which is carbon
dioxide so we are going to have a carbon
here then and
and an oxygen there so meaning oxygen
this one carbon here has got a balance
of form meaning it requires four more so
it is going to share it is going to
share for this site so it is going to
have two and four electrons even decide
to be two and four electrons why because
one bond represents two electrons so
this is 2 4 2 4 so that when you add
this 4 plus this form this one becomes a
bow with 8 then oxygen also is sharing
in form Plus this other two that is
they're making it eight so this one is
stable so having tested this one we know
that it can't be the answer now nitrogen
is one weird guy so nitrogen
this one is possible that it can have a
triple bond so it is going to be like
this and then if you have something like
this so it's gonna be two four six then
plus the two here and two so it is going
to have something right right okay so
something like that even here it has
something like this so when you check it
is now balanced so nitrogen is
definitely our answer which is C let's
check out my equation below question 7
the question reads the diagram below
shows the preparation of sorts the
diagram below shows the preparation of a
sorts so here let's look at the sorts
that we have so we have silver nitrate
reactant sodium chloride so these are
both in awkward so these are two soluble
salts that are reacting to produce an
insoluble salt and a soluble salt so
this type of a reaction is what we call
a double decomposition so this one would
be called a double composition so the
double composition is a type of reaction
in which two soluble salts are used to
prepare an insoluble salt and in the
process one a one or one of the swords
produced is
so soluble okay so now how does it
happen so these two sorts are their
reactive they tend to exchange their
last pots so these last parts will be
exchanged so this was a silver nitrate
when you go decided to be super tall
because the chlorine will cross over
then the nitrate will close oh I will
cross over to there which becomes sodium
nitrate so definitely this one is called
a double decomposition or a
precipitation reaction okay
having analyzed that let's check what
our question says it says which of the
following gives the correct description
of the equation so for the sorts the
given as silver chloride and they're
telling us that this is unreasonable
salt which is true then the method of
separation here it's definitely
filtration because we have a solid and
we have so we have so we have a solid
and we have a solution so we have a
solution and the solid so filtration is
not going to x-ray so let's go to this
one
sodium nitrate yes it is a soluble salt
now how can it be separated from this
guy here okay we put that on question
mark can we put it on question mark then
we go to silver chloride so silver
chloride is not soluble so definitely
see and and T are not correct because
silver chloride is soluble and sodium
nitrate is e soluble so these two energy
and Sons so let's check on on these two
answers between a and B so now we know
that these two so how do you separate an
insoluble salt from a soluble salt I
think the best thing here is filtration
so I think the best answer that we'll go
for here is e a okay so we proceed
question eight the question reads what
mass of copper to oxide would react
completely with five hundred sand meters
cubic of 0.5
mala dilute sulphuric acid okay so we
are looking for mass here now looking at
the kind of data that they've given us
this one which we have been given here
this one is there for you and this one
that we have been given here it's the
concentration so the only way out here
is to use the formula which says
concentration is equals to okay number
of moles over volume this is the formula
that is going to help us here
now in order for us to use this
dysphonia we have the concentration here
and we have the volume here so now since
we have this volume the testing we have
to make sure that all the volumes they
are supposed to be in decimeter cubic so
in order to convert we are just going to
divide this one by a thousand so this
one divided by a thousand because 1000
centimeter cubed is equal to one day's
Rita that's why we are dividing by a
thousand so dividing that one by a
thousand we are definitely going to have
a concentration of about 0.5 so we're
going to on our 0.5 this meter cubed so
0.5 this meter cubic okay that's what we
have now using this one we are now going
to just say okay in this case it implies
that number of moles is equals to 0.5
which is concetration
0.5 decimeter cubic multiplying with the
so the zero day there 0.5 decimeter
cubic multiplying with a zero OMG five
and we expect that our answer here
number of moles of definitely this 0.25
moles so we have 0.25 moles then now
from here we are going to use the
formula which says number of moles is
equal to mass over molar mass so mass
over molar mass
that is what you're going to use now we
can easily find the monomers from this
because they've said Copa to oxide so we
can easily make a phony run for copper
two oxides now Copa I'll put a balance
of it so we do see you little balance of
tune then oxygen also with a balance
over two so when we swap these ones down
here we are still going to have see you
two here down then all we also have a
two down here so because these can be
cancelled out we cancel out we cancel
out this means that our formula is going
to be see you oh so now here we can
easily add down so Copa has got about 64
grams per mole so we add plus the one
for oxygen so oxygen is e 16 so now in
chemistry you can even use a calculator
so you can easily add 16 plus 64 so
let's do that on the calculator so that
is 64 plus 16 this one is going to give
us 80 grams per mole so our answer here
is 80 grams and one so 80 grams
okay so now having found that we know
that to find the mass here we are going
to multiply the number of moles
multiplied by the molar mass and the
number of moles rope which to file so
multiply this one by 0.25 so we
multiplied by 0.25 and this one is going
to give us an answer all about so let's
do that on the calculator so we multiply
the 80 grams per 1 kg multiplied by 0.25
and we have our 20 grams so our answer
here is 20
and that is our final answer then we
just have to counter check if we have
such a thing on the answers and it
corresponds with V D okay so let's go -
lets go - lets go - question 9 question
9 reads question 9 reads the table below
shows some transition elements and their
uses which one is the correct use in the
contact and the hubba process so now
interesting that you need to know is
that they have a process this is the
industrial production of ammonia and ion
is used as a catalyst okay so having
having known this one we should also ask
ourselves what is the conduct process
now in the contact process the contact
process it's also a process in the
contact process is the current method of
producing sulfuric acid so now they the
one that is used here platinum was
initially used as a catalyst for this
reaction however it is subset
susceptible to reacting with it as any
impurities in the South a feedback so
instead they use vanadium so we are
saying here we use vanadium then in the
hubba process we use ion so definitely
it feels adjusted remembering questions
so you have to know that the contact
process this one is the industrial
operation of securing acid and the
catalyst that is used is the vanadium
then other process is the industrial
preparation of ammonia and the catalyst
is easy iron okay then let's look at
question 10
so which all the arrangements below is
suitable for collecting a gas that tends
are any air okay
gasps that is denser than air so now
advance that is denser than air
it should be collected by what we call
downward displacement of air so it
should be collected by what we call
downward displacement of air so I think
in the next segment I'll talk more about
question details for that I'll be able
to explain what each of these 10z is
supposed to mean
okay so we leave this one hanging just a
bit says something that I need to
explain okay so question 11 this one it
reads the relative formula mass or
calcium hydrogen carbonate is now these
are simple questions
calcium hydrogen carbonate so here we
just start dealing with it right here so
carbon here we have got 3 times 2 which
is 6 so we have got about 6 multiplied
by the mass number of oxygen is 16 so
there we can find that one and go to
carbon as well
so how many couples do we have we have
only about 2 carbons so to multiply it
by 12 okay we are also supposed to find
the total there then we go to hydrogen
so hydrogen here we only have 2 and
hydrogen is e 1 so this is 2 multiplied
by the mass number which is 1 then
finally we have our cows on here which
is also just 1 multiply it by 40 so 1
multiply it by 40 so let's just fill in
the answers there and you can quickly do
this with a calculator that is the
beauty of chemistry so 16 times 6 pretty
sure why this one is going to give us
rest check them with a calculator
16 times 6 sit still multiply by 6
just 16 multiply by 6 that is 96 okay so
here we are going to find that it is 96
grams per mole then this one 2 times 4
this one will give us 24 okay then this
one is going to give us just 0 2 then
this one give us 40 so what we do we now
add the total for everything because we
are finding relative molecular mass so
we add 96 plus 24 plus 2 plus 14 and we
have our 162 so 162 is our answer so
let's check on the choices do we have
162 okay there our answer is d ok
question through the question reads
which of the following statements
explains why magnesium calcium and
barium are placed in group of the
periodic table okay so now remember a
periodic table is simply an arrangement
in tabular arrangement of elements
according to their increasing proton
numbers ok so now this they were placed
in groups and periods based on their
physical and chemical properties okay
now let's check out so group two
elements they all have two electrons in
the outermost shell which is true they
form
basic oxides that are soluble in water
we can put that one on question like
their outermost electrons are lost when
they react with nonmetals ok which of
the following statement explains why
magnesium is placed in group 2 so the
reason why it is placed in group 2 the
other things might make sense but the
reason is because the electro the
valence electrons is two valence
electrons is simply the number of
electrons in the outermost shell this is
why a is our best answer question 13
this one reads how many molecules are
found in six point so six point zero
deaths with a cubic of carbon dioxide
are t-ara
TP so now here we are going to say one
more they are two thing that we can use
here so
how many molecules okay now we know that
one more okay one more this one is
equals to so one more is equals to the
Avogadro's constant which is six point
zero two other they made a decree
multiplied by 10 to the power 23
molecules so just one more will give us
that then we also know that one mole of
any gas at RGB is also equivalent to 24
this meter cube so we are going to use
these two packets here they are going to
help us to do with what we have so we
know that one more is a constituent for
this Rita then also the same one mode is
equal to six point zero to ten z24 to
the power at the time a times 10 to the
power 23 so what we can easily do is we
can easily say okay here we have our 24
we equate it directly to the Avogadro
constant which is six point zero point
zero two times times 10 to the power 23
we equate it like this then now we are
going to ask ourselves how about six
decimeter cubed will be equal to one so
this is just meter too big it's a volume
let's make a cubic even this six also
point zero it's also in decimeter cubed
which will be equal to X so when we make
our equation here we are supposed to
cross multiply here so we can just go to
the calculator and do that one so we are
going to have 24 X being equal to so the
six a six point the six point zero three
so let me try just to do this one it's
six points
so six point zero 6.02 x
and to the power 23 to the power 23 this
is been multiplied by six okay so when
you multiply this one by six we are
going to actually divide it so we have
something like three point six one three
point six one three point six one two
times ten to the power 24 then we divide
this one by 24 okay so we have put
something like 1.5 times 10 to the power
23 so x-max wacho calculator is properly
set X to be equal to 1.5 times 10 to the
power 23 so this is the number of
particles then we are going to check we
have 1.5 times 10 to the power 23 and we
have our answer right there okay f-14
which of the following is an alloy now
we just need to be over Rouen overruling
these things rust is simply a brown
substance that is formed when iron
reacts with the oxygen in moisture
conditions so it can be an anode then
silver silver is definitely a pure metal
okay tungsten is also a few a metal so
our best here is bronze so bronze is
definitely an alloy now an alloy is a
mixture of two or two or more methods or
even in rare cases some metals so the
purpose of allowing mixing metals
together is to improve their strength
and other qualities okay f if teen the
question reads so f-15 the question
reads halogens are useful elements but
also caused harm to the environment
halogens are useful elements but also
caused harm to the environment which of
the following is
danger of halogens so we're ooh this one
is not true they don't cause HIV and
AIDS they are used to treat wounds or
release so it's one as much a dangerous
thing to teens is not a dangerous thing
so they already see um for injections no
they don't release radiations the only
danger points in form of the tetra
chloro methane's or something that's
when they tend to contribute to the
depletion of the ozone layer so the best
answer here is B of the following is not
so we are emphasizing only not and that
is how we can best find our answer okay
we got to question Mangini the compound
represented below is so you just check
it out so good watch come on here and
come on here so definitely you can make
that is c2 then we got hydrogen here 1 2
3 4 so good h4 so definitely you can
recognize this because it corresponds to
the formulas general formula cnh2n H
then e2 and then because it has got 2 so
2 min egg so meaning this is the general
formula for our teens meaning this one
is e 18 so this one is if in white
because if I put it to there and the two
there it will give me exactly this one
so this one I know now it's only a thing
of which it is e a so someone might be
wondering why not even eaten Oh a
thousand for each sandwich why not Ethan
Ethan
should have conformed to the general
formula cnh2n plus 2 so unless if we had
six at the end they need to dive in and
detain so the best answer in this is is
a okay
what is the name of a compound below so
the compound below we first of all have
to identify this this point here okay so
this point here it looks like a anyway
what if I go this is an ester linkage
this is an ester linkage so definitely
if we know that this is an ester linkage
we know that this whole compound is
definitely an ester okay this one is
definitely an ester now how do we name a
stance how do we name a stance so
instance you just go to the name of the
acid so - the name of the acid you
remove the oil facts and then add yl so
you remove for example if you have in
this case it was ethanoic so either it a
noise like this either
knowing acids okay then you just have to
remove this one all of it you remove it
here then you add Y L this is where the
ether comes from then from the name of
the alcohol so from the name of the
alcohol you just have to remove the last
patterns and OHT this is how come this
one becomes it out internal it has the
best answer so you just remove here all
day only here because Ethan oh who
always for example this one ethanol
would be like this let's try to explain
this one again so that people can me get
it okay so now I said to an acid because
it would be like it annoying so you just
remove from here you just get a fist
three letters the earth facts if a
prefix so just get the prefix then to
the prefix add white arrow then do the
alcohol back because I'm ester is a
compound formed when an alcohol a
carboxylic acid reacts they join
together with the expulsion of water
quality that's why it is a condensation
polymer so in water molecules we
the acid and the elbow they combined
together now when they combine together
how do you come up with a name so from
the acid but you have to just get the
critics which is the prefix we know that
the ten prefixes in organic chemistry so
you just get the prefix then you from
the prefix you add y el then to the
eternal back there you just have to
remove the air just remove the air and
add a and c e now remember when you add
this Plus this one we had that first it
gives us the name ether internally
therefore our answer is this one thank
