Explanation:
-Hydration is the addition of water to a chemical molecule without hydrolysis. The process of providing an
adequate amount of liquid to bodily tissues.
-Hydrolysis is the process where ions of salts react with water to produce acidity or alkalinity
-Electrolysis is the process by which electric current is passed through a substance to effect a chemical
change. The chemical change is one in which the substance loses or gains an electron (oxidation or
reduction).
-Dialysis is the separation of suspended colloidal particles from dissolved ions or molecules of small
dimensions (crystalloids) by means of their unequal rates of diffusion through the pores of semipermeable
membranes.
Explanation:
-An ideal solution or ideal mixture is a solution in which the enthalpy of solution is zero; with the closer to
zero the enthalpy of solution, the more "ideal" the behavior of the solution becomes.
-A saturated solution is used in chemistry to define a solution in which no more solute can be dissolved in
the solvent
-A supersaturated solution is a solution that contains more than the maximum amount of solute that is
capable of being dissolved at a given temperature.
-An azeotropic mixture is a constant boiling mixture in which the composition of the mixture remains same
throughout the boiling. For such solution, the composition of vapor at its boiling point is same as that of
liquid solution.

7. The heat capacity of a solid compound is calculated from the atomic heat capacities of its constituent
elements with the help of the
A. Trouton's rule
B. Kopp's rule
C. Antoine equation
D. Kistyakowsky equation
Explanation:
-Trouton's rule says that for many (but not all) liquids, the entropy of vaporization is approximately the same
at ~85 J mol−1K−1. The (partial) success of the rule is due to the fact that the entropy of a gas is
considerably larger than that of any liquid.
-Kopp’s Rule is a generalized rule used to determine the heat capacity of solids. The heat capacity of a solid
compound is approximately equal to the sum of the heat capacities of the constituent elements.
-The Antoine equation is a mathematical expression (derived from the Clausius-Clapeyron relation) of the
relation between the vapor pressure and the temperature of pure substances.
-Kistyakowsky equation calculates latent heats of vaporization of pure compounds; useful when vapor
pressure and critical data are not available.

the nucleus of the atom.

Explanation:
If the solution containing non-volatile solute is evaporated, the volume of solution will decrease due to
evaporation of solvent, while the moles and also mass of solute remains same. So, the molarity of solution
increases.
30. Molar heat capacity of water in equilibrium with ice at constant pressure is
A. 0
B. ∞
C. 1
D. none of these
Explanation:
Heat capacity is the amount of heat added to a substance to raise its temperature by one kelvin. Hence, at
constant pressure, the molar heat capacity is given by the ratio (∂T∂H)P. At constant pressure, water is in
equilibrium with ice. When heat ∂H is supplied to the system, the temperature change ∂T is zero, as the
heat supplied is utilized for the phase transition. Hence, the molar heat capacity of water in equilibrium with
ice at constant pressure is infinite.

Explanation:
Diffusion occurs quickly in a gas than in a liquid because the space between the constituent particles in
gases are higher than in liquids. Thus, particles in gas possess higher kinetic energy and move with higher
speeds.

A. weight % of the solute.
B. mole fraction of the solute.

Explanation:
Because of increasing the temperature, the volume of the solution increases. Hence, molarity decreases as
molarity is moles per unit volume.
Explanation:
-CO2 possess polarity, i.e carbon atom of CO2 is slightly positive than O2. This difference produces a dipole
moment from positive to negative charge. Water molecules get attracted to the polar region. Hence CO2 is
soluble in water.
-Oxygen is a non-polar molecule whereas water is a polar molecule. Hence, Water is not soluble easily in
water.
-The electronegativity difference between N and O in NO is less i.e low polarity. So NO is less soluble in
water.
-CO2 is more polar than CO, hence CO2 has high solubility than CO.

CCF – of natural gas.

reaction)
A. Δ H
B. >ΔH
C. <ΔH
D. Zero
Explanation:
The minimum value of the activation energy is the difference between the energy content of reactant and
product. ΔH also gives the difference between the reactant and product.
Hence, the minimum value for the activation energy will be equal to △H.
Explanation:
where Z is the gas compressibility factor, P is pressure, V is volume, n is the number of moles, R is ideal
gas constant and T is temperature. If you have an ideal gas, Z will be 1. Because remember, the ideal gas
law states that PV = nRT, so a ratio of PV/nRT would be one because PV and nRT equal each other.
Explanation:
-Evaporation is defined as the process in which the state of water from liquid to gaseous or to vapour state
takes place. Drying of clothes in the sun: The water present in the clothes when they are washed is
removed by the process of evaporation.
-Sublimation is the transition from the solid phase to the gas phase without passing through an intermediate
liquid phase.
-Vaporization, conversion of a substance from the liquid or solid phase into the gaseous (vapour) phase.
Water to steam - Water is vaporized when it is boiled on the stove to cook some pasta, and much of it forms
into a thick steam.
-Melting, change of a solid into a liquid when heat is applied. In a pure crystalline solid, this process occurs
at a fixed temperature called the melting point; an impure solid generally melts over a range of temperatures
below the melting point of the principal component.
