Q70 / 180 · NEET 2020 (Phase 1) · Chemistry

Identify the correct statements from the following:
(a) CO2g is used as a refrigerant for ice cream and frozen food.
(b) The structure of C60 contains twelve six-membered carbon rings and twenty-five membered carbon rings.
(c) ZSM−5, a type of zeolite, is used to convert alcohols into gasoline.
(d) CO is a colourless and odourless gas.

  • A
    (a) and (c) only
  • B
    (b) and (c) only
  • Correct answer
    C
    (c) and (d) only
  • D
    (a), (b) and (c) only

Solution

(1) \(\mathrm{CO}_2\) (s) (dry ice) [not \(\left.\mathrm{CO}_2(\mathrm{~g})\right]\) is used as refrigerant for ice cream and frozen food. (2) The structure of \(\mathrm{C}_{60}\) contains 20 six carbon rings and 12 five carbon rings. (3) ZSM-5 (a type of zeolite) is used to convert alcohols directly into gasoline. (4) \(\mathrm{CO}(\mathrm{g})\) is colourless and adourless gas

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
