Sample Questions

1multiple correct

Which gases are evolved when copper nitrate is heated? (Select all correct answers)

Show answer

Nitrogen dioxide, Oxygen

When copper nitrate is heated, it decomposes to form copper oxide (black residue), nitrogen dioxide (brown gas), and oxygen gas according to: 2Cu(NO₃)₂ → 2CuO + 4NO₂ + O₂

2multiple choice

Which test is used to confirm the presence of hydrogen gas?

Show answer

Burns with a pop sound

Hydrogen gas burns with a characteristic 'pop' sound when ignited. This is the confirmatory test for hydrogen gas: 2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O

3multiple correct

Which ions can be identified by their reaction with sodium hydroxide solution? (Select all correct answers)

Show answer

Cu²⁺, Fe³⁺, Zn²⁺, NH₄⁺

All the cations listed (Cu²⁺, Fe³⁺, Zn²⁺, NH₄⁺) can be identified by their characteristic reactions with NaOH solution, forming colored precipitates or releasing gases. Chloride ion cannot be tested this way.

4multiple choice

What color is the precipitate formed when copper ions react with sodium hydroxide?

Show answer

Pale blue

Cu²⁺ ions react with NaOH to form a pale blue precipitate of copper hydroxide Cu(OH)₂. This precipitate turns black on heating due to formation of CuO.
