Question #1
Which indicator is most suitable for the titration of a weak acid with a strong base?
A. Phenolphthalein
B. Methyl red
C. Methyl orange
D. Litmus

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
In the titration of a weak acid with a strong base, the equivalence point occurs in the basic region (pH > 7) due to the hydrolysis of the conjugate base formed. Phenolphthalein changes color in the pH range of 8.2 to 10.0, making it the most suitable indicator for detecting this basic equivalence point.

Question #2
The root mean square (rms) velocity of a gas is given by the formula:
A. √(3RT/M)
B. Both A and B
C. √(3P/d)
D. √(8RT/πM)

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
The root mean square velocity (urms) of gas molecules can be expressed in multiple equivalent ways. It is √(3RT/M) where R is the gas constant, T is temperature, and M is molar mass. Since P = dRT/M (where d is density), it can also be written as √(3P/d). Both formulas are correct.
