Chemistry MCQs

Notes:
The agricultural industry widely uses urea, a white crystalline solid containing 46 percent nitrogen as an animal feed additive and fertilizer. Urea has the highest nitrogen content of all solid fertilizers at 46% N.

Notes:

In the human body the most common bio-elements (in decreasing order of occurrence) are oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus. Other bio-elements include sodium, potassium, magnesium, and copper.

Notes:
Potassium permanganate is a point-of-entry treatment method that oxidizes dissolved iron, manganese, and hydrogen sulfide into solid particles that are filtered out of the water. It can also be used to control iron bacteria growth in wells.

Notes:
Phenolphthalein is commonly employed as a pH indicator in titrations due to its distinct color change in varying pH levels. At pH 8.2, it appears colorless but turns pink as the pH increases to 10. It is not used as a solvent, catalyst or detergent. It also finds applications in forensic science for detecting latent blood stains.

Notes:
Noble gases are characterized by their low reactivity. The reason for this is their full electron shell, which makes them very stable and unlikely to engage in chemical reactions. The six noble gases that occur naturally are helium (He), neon (Ne), argon (Ar), krypton (Kr), xenon (Xe), and the radioactive radon (Rn). Despite the inertness of noble gases, some of them like Xenon are known to form compounds.

Notes:
Cesium is extremely reactive metal. It reacts with water even at −116 °C (−177 °F). It is the least electronegative element. Cesium is also the softest known metal. It is so soft that it can be cut with a butter knife.

Notes:
“Butter of Tin” is also known as tin tetrachloride pentahydrate. It is called “butter of tin” because of its physical appearance. Its chemical formula is SnCl4*5H2O or [SnCl4 (H2O)]*3H2O.

Notes:
Sodium carbonate is commonly known as Washing soda. Sodium Hydrogencarbonate is commonly known as Caustic soda. Ethanoic acid is commonly known as Acetic acid. calcium oxychloride is commonly known Bleaching powder.

Notes:
Corundum is an ore of Aluminium. It is a crystalline form of aluminium oxide. Kieserite is an ore of Magnesium and Pitch blende is an ore of Uranium.

Notes:
The emission of electron in β⁻decay is accompanied by the emission of an antineutrino (ν ) and in β⁺ decay, a neutrino (ν) is generated.
