ethylene can be separated from acetylene by passing the mixture through
fuming H2SO4
pyrogallol
ammoniacal Cu2Cl2

If it is assumed that decays only by emitting -and (-particles, the possible product of the decay is
B.
Atomic mass (or mass number) is changed only, when an -particle is emitted, it is not affected by the emission of -particle.
The reaction that takes place when Cl2 gas is passed through conc. NaOH solution is
oxidation
reduction
displacement
disproportionation
D.
disproportionation
When Cl2 gas is passed through conc NaOH solution, following reaction takes place.
Here, the same element undergoes oxidation and reduction simultaneously, hence it is an example of disproportionation reaction.
Of the following compounds, the most acidic is
As2O3
P2O5
Sb2O3
Bi2O3
B.
P2O5
Generally, acidic nature of oxides increases along a period from left to right and decreases along a group from up to down.
Since As, P, Sb and Bi all belong to V group and arranged in the following manner :
P: As, Sb, Bi
:. P2O5 is the most and Bi2O3 is the least acidic.
In the compound the hybridisation of C-2 and C-3 carbons are respectively
sp3 and sp3
sp2 and sp3
sp2 and sp
sp3 and sp
C.
sp2 and sp
Blackened oil painting can be restored into original form by the action of
Cl2
BaO2
H2O2
MnO2
C.
H2O2
The lead of oil paintings gets converted into lead sulphide by atmospheric H2S leading to blackening of paintings. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) oxidises the black lead sulphide into white lead sulphate, thus restores the colour of oil painting.
The two structures written below represent
pair of diastereomers
pair of enantiomers
same molecule
both are optically inactive
C.
same molecule
On rotating the Fischer projection by 180°, since there is no change in configuration, they are same molecule.

Silicon does not exist in free state. It exists, in nature, as silica or in the form of silicates.
"Electron" is an alloy of
Mg and Zn
Fe and Mg
Ni and Zn
Al and Zn
A.
Mg and Zn
Electron, an alloy of 95% Mg and 5% Zn, is used in the construction of aircraft.
The addition of HBr to 2-pentene gives
2-bromopentane only
3-bromopentane only
2-bromopentane and 3-bromopentane
1-bromopentane and 3-bromopentane
C.
2-bromopentane and 3-bromopentane
During this reaction, roughly equal quantities of the two isomers actually being obtained.
