Chemistry
I) Multiple choice questions:
1. In terms of acidic strength, which one of the following is in correct
increasing order?
a) Water < Acetic acid <Hydrochloric acid
b) Water < Hydrochloric acid < Acetic acid
c) Acetic acid <Water < Hydrochloric acid
d) Hydrochloric acid < Water <Acetic acid
In the following question- 2 to 6, the Assertion and Reason has been put
forward. Read the statements carefully and choose alternative from the
following:
a) Both the Assertion and the Reason are correct and the Reason is the
correct explanation of the Assertion.
b) The Assertion and the Reason are correct but the Reason is not the
correct explanation of the Assertion.
c) Assertion is true but the Reason is false.
d) The statement of the Assertion is false but the Reason is true.
2) Assertion : Phosphoric acid is a weak acid
 Reason : Phosphoric acid when dissolved in water dissociates partially
and produces very little H+ ions.
3) Assertion : Antacids neutralize the effect of extra acid produced in the
stomach during indigestion and thus provide relief.
Reason : Antacids are mild bases.
4) Assertion : HCl is a stronger acid than acetic acid.
Reason : On dissociation, HCl yields lesser hydrogen ions for the
same concentration as compared to acetic acid.
5) Assertion : pH = 7 signifies pure water.
Reason : pH of acetic acid is greater than 7
6) Assertion : carbonic acid is a weak acid
Reason : It ionized completely in aqueous solution
7) Some statements regarding salt NaCl are given below:
i) It is prepared by chlor-alkali process

Select the correct statements
a) ii) and iii) b) iii) and iv) c) i) and iv) d) ii),iii) and iv)
8) Which of the following acids is present in bee sting?

9) The pH of soil X is 7.5 while that of soil Y is 4.5 .Which of the two

a) X only b) Y only c) Both X and Y d) None of these
10) Sodium carbonate is a basic salt because it is a salt of
a) strong acid and strong base b) weak acid and weak base
c) strong acid and weak base d) weak acid and strong base

12) Which of the following statements is correct about an aqueous
solution of an acid and of a base?

to the soil to make it suitable for the plant growth?
i. Calcium chloride
ii. Calcium Hydroxide
iii. Calcium oxide
Choose the correct option: 
a) Both (i) and (ii) b) Both (ii) and (iii) c) Only (i) d) Only (iii)
14. Two aqueous solutions P and Q have pH of 5 and 13 respectively.
The correct inference is that:
