Q11. Chemistry
Which of the following is a Lewis acid?
A. NH₃
B. AlCl₃
C. H₂O
D. OH⁻
Correct Answer: B
AlCl₃ is electron deficient (can accept electron pair), hence a Lewis acid.
Q12. Chemistry
The number of moles in 18 g of H₂O is:
A. 0.5
B. 1
C. 2
D. 18
Correct Answer: B
Molar mass of H₂O = 18 g/mol. n = 18/18 = 1 mol.
Q13. Chemistry
Which of these is NOT a greenhouse gas?
A. CO₂
B. CH₄
C. O₂
D. H₂O vapor
Correct Answer: C
Oxygen (O₂) is not a greenhouse gas. CO₂, CH₄, and H₂O vapor are GHGs.
Q14. Chemistry
The hybridization of carbon in methane is:
A. sp
B. sp²
C. sp³
D. dsp²
Correct Answer: C
CH₄ has 4 bond pairs + 0 lone pairs → sp³ hybridization, tetrahedral shape.
Q15. Chemistry
The most abundant element in Earth's crust is:
A. Iron
B. Oxygen
C. Silicon
D. Aluminum
Correct Answer: B
Oxygen (~46.6%) is the most abundant element in Earth's crust.
