The 20 questions

  1. The test for chlorine uses:

    • Dry litmus paper
    • Damp litmus paper
    • Limewater solution
    • A glowing splint
  2. What happens when damp blue litmus paper is placed in chlorine?

    • Turns green
    • Remains blue
    • Turns red
    • Bleached white
  3. What does bleaching litmus paper mean?

    • Increases pH
    • Neutralises acid
    • Removes colour
    • Adds moisture
  4. Which gas bleaches damp litmus?

    • Chlorine
    • Hydrogen
    • Oxygen
    • Carbon dioxide
  5. Why must litmus paper be damp for the chlorine test?

    • To speed heating
    • To block oxygen
    • Water is needed
    • To cool the gas
  6. A gas bleaches damp litmus. The gas is:

    • Hydrogen
    • Carbon dioxide
    • Oxygen
    • Chlorine
  7. The chlorine test result is:

    • Milky limewater
    • A bleaching of litmus
    • A relit glowing splint
    • A loud pop sound
  8. The colour of damp litmus in chlorine changes to:

    • Red
    • Blue
    • White
    • Green
  9. What is the key observation when testing for chlorine gas using damp litmus paper?

    • Bleached white
    • Turns red
    • Extinguishes splint
    • Turns green
  10. Why must the test for chlorine gas be conducted with care?

    • It is toxic
    • It is radioactive
    • It is flammable
    • It is explosive
  11. Which observation does NOT indicate the presence of chlorine gas?

    • Litmus paper bleaches
    • Paper turns white
    • Damp litmus changes
    • Limewater turns milky
  12. What shows a positive test result for chlorine using damp litmus paper?

    • Bleaching paper
    • Squeaky pop
    • Turning limewater cloudy
    • Relighting splint
  13. Which indicator is used for the chlorine test in the spec?

    • Litmus paper
    • Phenolphthalein only
    • Starch solution
    • Universal indicator solution
  14. Chlorine gas is:

    • A colourless liquid
    • A black powder
    • A solid metal
    • A yellow-green gas
  15. Chlorine can be identified because it:

    • Is a bleaching gas
    • Pops with a flame
    • Clouds limewater
    • Relights a splint
  16. A litmus strip before and after exposure to chlorine changes from:

    • Coloured to green
    • Coloured to white
    • White to black
    • White to red
  17. How does litmus indicator paper react when exposed to chlorine gas?

    • Stays deep red
    • Turns bright green
    • Bleaches white
    • Turns dark blue
  18. The chlorine test is best described as:

    • A qualitative test
    • A gravimetric test
    • An instrumental test
    • A quantitative test
  19. Which test confirms the presence of chlorine gas?

    • Bleaches litmus paper
    • Relights glowing splint
    • Squeaky pop test
    • Turns limewater milky
  20. What is the immediate action when litmus paper bleaches in a gas test?

    • Identify oxygen gas
    • Identify carbon dioxide
    • Identify chlorine gas
