 SECTION A
1. Pure benzene freezes at 5.3℃ . A solution of 0.223 g of phenylacetic acid (C6H5CH2COOH) in 4.4 g of
benzene (Kf = 5.12 K kg/mol) freezes at 4.47℃ . From this observation, one can conclude that:
1
(a) phenylacetic acid exists as such in benzene
(b) phenylacetic acid undergoes partial ionization in benzene
(c) phenylacetic acid undergoes complete ionization in benzene
(d) phenylacetic acid dimerizes in benzene

2. The number of Faradays (F) required to produce 20 g of calcium from CaCl2 (atomic of mass of Ca – 40
g/mol) is: 1
(a) 2
(b) 3
(c) 4
(d) 1

3. The activation energy for a reaction at temperature T K was found to be 2.303 RT J/mol. The ratio of the rate
constant to Arrhenius factor is: 1
-1
(a) 10
(b) 10-2
(c) 2 × 10-3
(d) 2 × 10-2
