Sample questions

  1. 1.A constant boiling mixture which boils without any change in composition.
    • A.Aqua Regia
    • B.Heterogeneous reaction
    • C.Azeotrope
    • D.Homogeneous reaction
  2. 2.During the laboratory preparation of hydrogen chloride gas, concentrated sulphuric acid is used because it is:
    • A.a strong oxidizing agent that releases chlorine gas
    • B.a least volatile acid compared to hydrochloric acid
