The normality of a 0.1 M H2SO4 solution is: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The normality of a 0.1 M H2SO4 solution is:
A. 0.3 N
B. 0.2 N
C. 0.05 N
D. 0.1 N
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Normality (N) is related to molarity (M) by the formula N = M × n, where n is the n-factor (basicity for acids). Sulfuric acid (H2SO4) is a dibasic acid, meaning it can donate two protons (H+) per molecule. Therefore, its n-factor is 2. Normality = 0.1 M × 2 = 0.2 N.

Question #2
The valency of aluminium in AlCl₃ is:
A. 3
B. 1
C. 2
D. 4

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
In AlCl₃, aluminium combines with three chlorine atoms. Chlorine has a valency of 1 (needs one electron to complete its octet). By the criss-cross method, Al has valency 3 because it loses three electrons to achieve a stable octet (Al³⁺). Thus, the formula is AlCl₃. Aluminium's electronic configuration is 2,8,3, so it loses three valence electrons. Exam tip: Valency equals the number of electrons lost, gained, or shared to complete octet.

Question #3
Isotopes of an element have:
A. Same mass number, different atomic number
B. Same number of neutrons
C. Same physical properties
D. Same atomic number, different mass number

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Isotopes are atoms of the same element (same atomic number, same number of protons) but different mass numbers due to varying number of neutrons. For example, ¹²C, ¹³C, ¹⁴C. Their chemical properties are similar but physical properties (mass, density, rate of diffusion) differ. Isobars have same mass number but different atomic numbers.
