Solutions
S1. Ans.(d)
Sol. Talc is a mineral which is composed of hydrated Magnesium silicate formula Mg_3 Si_4 O_10 (OH)_2.
S2. Ans.(a)
Sol. Steels are alloys of Iron and other elements primarily Carbon and are widely used in construction and other area. Carbon inclusion in Iron as a hardening agent which strengthens Iron by distorting its crystal lattice. This distortion result in hardening.
S3. Ans.(a)
Sol. Pig Iron has a very high Carbon content, typically 3.5–4.5%. Wrought Iron is an Iron alloy with a very low Carbon (less than 0.08%) content. Steels containing 0.2% to 1.5% Carbon are known as Carbon steel. The amount of Carbon in alloy steel ranges from 0.1% to 1%.
S4. Ans.(c)
Sol. Salt, Sugar, Diamond, Quartz. Ice, Graphite etc. are in the formed crystal but Sulphur is not. It is a multivalent nonmetallic chemical element.
S5. Ans.(d)
Sol. Hydrogen gas is highly flammable and burns in air at a very wide range of concentrations between 4% to 75% by volume. Hydrogen gas cannot burn in absence of air. But by burning with Oxygen it produces water.
S6. Ans.(a)
Sol. Heavy water (D_2 O) Deuterium Oxide is used as a moderator and coolant in nuclear reactors because it slows down neutrons effectively and also has a low probability of absorption of neutrons. Deuterium is an isotope of Hydrogen which comprises both a neutron and a proton. D_2 O is a form of water which reacts with Oxygen to form Deuterium Oxide (D_2 O), also known as heavy water.
S7. Ans.(b)
Sol. Water is good solvent due to its polarity which can easily dissolve into polar compounds. Water dissolves ionic salts by hydrating their component ions. For example, water dissolves NaCl by hydrating and stabling the Na+ and Cl^- ions.
S8. Ans.(a)
Sol. Desalination is a process that removes minerals from saline water (Also refer to removal of salts and minerals). Seawater desalination has a very effective way of production of potable water for drinking and industries.
S9. Ans.(d)
Sol. Helium is preferred over Hydrogen because it is inert in nature. Also, Hydrogen is highly flammable and explosive so it would make it unsafe to use in balloons.
S10. Ans.(a)
Sol. Calcium Hypochlorite or Calcium Oxychloride is an inorganic compound. It is also known as bleaching powder. Its chemical formula is Ca(OCl) Cl. It is a white solid, although commercial samples appear yellow. Bleaching powder is used for water treatment and acts as a bleaching agent. It is not highly soluble in water.
S11. Ans.(c)
Sol. ‘Viscosity’ of a fluid is a measure of its resistance to gradual deformation by stress or tensile stress. For liquids, it corresponds to the informal concept of ‘Thickness’. For example, Honey has a much higher viscosity than water.
S12. Ans.(b)
Sol. Oxalic acid is used in photography as Ferrous Oxalate. Formic acid is found in ants. Citric acid is found in lemon and Acetic acid is also found in vinegar.
S13. Ans.(c)
Sol. Tartaric acid is used in the manufacturing of baking powder. This tartaric acid occurs naturally in many plants particularly in grapes, bananas and tamarinds. It is commonly combined with baking soda to function as a leavening agent in recipes and is one of the main acids found in wine.
S14. Ans.(d)
Sol. The main components of honey are fructose – 38.2%, glucose -31.3%, sucrose – 1.3%, maltose – 7.1% and water – 17.2%. Fructose or fruit sugar is simple ketonic monosaccharide found in many plants.
S15. Ans.(d)
Sol. First NASA Goddard Space Flight Centre confirmed the presence of Methane in the atmosphere of Mars. In 2014, Mars Express Orbiter and Canada France Telescope at Hawaii further confirmed the presence of methane on Mars.
