R: pH of acetic acid is greater than 7.
8. h A: CH,COOH is used as vinegar in cooking and food preservatives.
R: Strong acids are those acids which ionize almost completely in aqueous
solution and hence produce a large amount of H+ ions.
b A: n-butane and iso-butane are example of isomers.
R: Isomerism is possible only with hydrocarbons having four or more carbon
atoms.
10. h A: Carbon is tetravalent because it has four valence electrons.
R: Inorder to achieve noble gas configuration ,carbon shares these four valence
