Chemistry MCQs

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:
Acetic acid (CH3COOH) is a weak organic acid that gives vinegar its sour taste. At household concentrations (5-8% acetic acid), it is a mild acid. Vinegar can be made from a variety of base ingredients including wine, apple cider, rice, or malt. The acetic acid is produced by fermentation of the sugars in these ingredients. The most common type of vinegar in households is white distilled vinegar which is typically 4-7% acetic acid. It has a strong, pungent smell and flavor.

Notes:
Gobar Gas or Biogas is mostly methane (CH₄) and carbon dioxide (CO₂) and may have small amounts of hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), moisture and siloxanes.

Notes:
Graphite is renowned for its conspicuous uses owing to its unique properties like its ability to conduct electricity, which makes it ideal for electrode manufacturing. It’s also used as a lubricant and in the production of crucibles, thanks to its high melting point. However, it isn’t used in glass cutting.

Notes:
The correct answer is Octaoxygen. Octaoxygen (O8) is an allotrope of oxygen that can exist in multiple phases under varying pressures and temperatures. It was first synthesized in 2001 and is notable for its unique molecular structure, which consists of eight oxygen atoms. Ozone (O3) is well-known but does not exhibit multiple phases like octaoxygen. Tetraoxygen (O4) is less stable and not commonly referenced in the same context.

Notes:
Chlorargyrite is the mineral form of silver chloride (AgCl). It is also known as cerargyrite and, when weathered by desert air, as horn silver. Silver chloride is formed by the disappearance of the initial silver oxide layer.

Notes:
Plumbism is also known as lead poisoning or  a condition which occurs when there is accumulation of lead in body, usually over a few months' time period and even years.

Notes:
Sodium carbonate is found as dry deposits and is also known as Sajimati (efflorescent soil) in India.

Notes:
Lithium ions has maximum degree of hydration and for this reason lithium salts are mostly hydrated.

Notes:
Calcium carbonate is used as a building material in the form of marble and in the manufacture of quick lime. Calcium carbonate is also used in the manufacture of high quality paper. It finds its use as an antacid, mild abrasive in tooth paste, a constituent of chewing gum, and a filler in cosmetics.
