The formula for ethyl alcohol or ethanol is C2H5OH or CH3CH2OH
Final Answer:
The formula for ethyl alcohol or ethanol is C2H5OH or CH3CH2OH
The catalyst used in contact process is
A: Al2O3
B: Cr2O3
C: V2O5
D: MnO2
Solution:
Explanation:
- Contact process
- By contact process, H2SO4(Sulphuric acid) is prepared in presence of V2O5(Vanadium oxide).
SO2 (g)+1/2O2 (g) SO3 (g)
(Sulphur dioxide) (Oxygen) (Sulphur trioxide)
- The catalyst in the above reaction is V2O5.
Final Answer:
Hence, Option (C) is correct.
What is collodion
Solution:
Explanation:
Collodion is a flammable, syrupy 4% solution of Nitro cellulose prepared in a mix of alcohol and ether.
Collodion solutions are of two types:
- Flexible collodion
- Non-flexible collodion
The two types of collodions find different kinds of utility, e.g: Flexible collodion solutions are used in surgical dressings whereas Non-flexible collodion is used in theatrical make-up, photography, etc.
Collodion solutions also find utility in:
- Electro- enecephalography
- Optic cleaning
- Microscopic study
- Nail polish, etc.
Final Answer: Collodion solution is a solution of nitrocellulose in ether and alcohol.
Aluminium crystallises in a cubic close packed structure

Solution:
Explanation:
Final Answer:
The length of the side of the unit cell =354pm
The number of unit cells in 1.00 cm^3 of aluminium =2.27×1022
Draw the structure of and identify the number
of single P - O bonds .P4O6
Solution:
Solution:
It is the anhydride of orthophosphoric acid, (phosphorus trioxide) therefore also known as phosphorous oxide or phosphorous anhydride. P4O6
It is a solid soft white color. It is an anhydride of an acid so it behaves as an acidic and will hydrolyze in water to generate phosphorous acid. Phosphorus trioxide is a dimer with the formula . P4O6
Structure of can be shown as: P4O6
Number of single P-O bonds are 12 as shown in the figure.
