Sample Tamil Nadu HSE First Year Chemistry Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the Tamil Nadu HSE First Year Chemistry exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1One mole of any substance contains how many elementary entities?
A.6.022 × 10²²
B.6.022 × 10²³
C.6.022 × 10²⁴
D.3.011 × 10²³
Explanation: Avogadro’s number N_A = 6.022 × 10²³ mol⁻¹ is the number of particles in one mole of a substance.
2The SI unit of amount of substance is the:
A.gram
B.molecule
C.mole
D.atom
Explanation: The mole (mol) is the SI base unit for amount of substance.
3Empirical formula of a compound is CH₂O and its molar mass is 180 g mol⁻¹. The molecular formula is:
A.CH₂O
B.C₂H₄O₂
C.C₆H₁₂O₆
D.C₃H₆O₃
Explanation: Empirical formula mass of CH₂O = 12 + 2 + 16 = 30. n = 180/30 = 6. Molecular formula = (CH₂O)₆ = C₆H₁₂O₆.
4How many moles of CO₂ are produced when 2.0 mol of C₃H₈ burns completely? (C₃H₈ + 5 O₂ → 3 CO₂ + 4 H₂O)
A.2 mol
B.3 mol
C.6 mol
D.5 mol
Explanation: From stoichiometry, 1 mol C₃H₈ → 3 mol CO₂. So 2.0 mol C₃H₈ → 6.0 mol CO₂.
5A sample of H₂SO₄ (M = 98 g mol⁻¹) has mass 49 g. Number of moles is:
A.0.25 mol
B.0.50 mol
C.1.0 mol
D.2.0 mol
Explanation: n = m/M = 49/98 = 0.50 mol.
6Oxidation number of Cr in K₂Cr₂O₇ is:
A.+3
B.+4
C.+6
D.+7
Explanation: Let Cr = x. 2(+1) + 2x + 7(−2) = 0 ⇒ 2 + 2x − 14 = 0 ⇒ 2x = 12 ⇒ x = +6.
7Molarity of a solution containing 0.5 mol of solute in 250 mL of solution is:
A.0.5 M
B.1.0 M
C.2.0 M
D.4.0 M
Explanation: M = n/V(L) = 0.5 / 0.250 = 2.0 mol L⁻¹.
8In a limiting-reagent problem, the limiting reagent is the reactant that:
A.has the largest mass
B.is present in excess
C.is completely consumed first
D.has the highest molar mass
Explanation: The limiting reagent is the reactant that is fully consumed first and thus limits product formation.
94.0 g of a metal oxide contains 3.2 g of metal. Equivalent mass of the metal (oxygen equivalent mass = 8) is:
A.8
B.16
C.32
D.4
Explanation: Mass of O combined = 4.0 − 3.2 = 0.8 g. Equivalent mass of metal = (mass metal / mass oxygen) × 8 = (3.2/0.8)×8 = 32.
10Which change is a chemical change?
A.Melting of ice
B.Boiling of water
C.Rusting of iron
D.Sublimation of iodine
Explanation: Rusting forms new substances (iron oxides/hydroxides) and is a chemical change. The others are phase changes.
