Ni(OH) 2 and AgCN are 2 × 10 –15 and 6 × 10 –17<br />

respectively. Which salt is more soluble?<br />

16. A cylinder of gas is assumed to contain 11.2 kg of<br />

butane (C 4 H 10 ). If a normal family needs 20,000 kJ<br />

of energy per day, the cylinder will last in<br />

(Given : ∆H for <strong>com</strong>bustion of butane is – 2658 kJ)<br />

(a) 20 days<br />

(b) 22 days<br />

(c) 26 days<br />

(d) 24 days.<br />

17. An electric current is passed through an aqueous<br />

solution of a mixture of alanine (isoelectric point<br />

6.0), glutamic acid (3.2) and arginine (10.7) buffered<br />

at pH 6. What is the fate of the three acids?<br />

(a) Glutamic acid migrates to anode at pH 6.<br />

solution.<br />

the mean life time of another radioactive element Y.<br />

(b) X and Y have the same decay rate always<br />

(c) Y will decay at faster rate than X<br />

(d) X will decay at faster rate than Y.<br />
