Question 11. The National Chemical Laboratory is situated in
  1.    New Delhi
  2.    Bangalore
  3.    Pune
  4.    Patna
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Pune
National Chemical Laboratory (CSIR-NCL), Pune, established in 1950, is a constituent laboratory of Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR).
Question 12. Equal masses of oxygen, hydrogen and methane are kept under identical conditions. The ratio of the volumes of gases will be
  1.    2 : 16 : 2
  2.    2 : 16 : 1
  3.    1 : 16 : 2
  4.    1 : 1 : 1
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 1 : 16 : 2
Convert the mass into moles (use the formula n=m/Mr)
m = mass and Mr = Molecular weights
Molecular weights are 32(Oxygen), 2(Hydrogen), and 16(Methane), respectively.
Since the masses are equal, you can take the mass as x. So, the number of moles would be:
n(O2) = x/32
n(H2) = x/2
n(CH4) = x/16
The ratio of their volumes is (O2) : (H2) : (CH4) = 1 : 16 : 2
Question 13. The formula C6H5-CO-CH3 represents
  1.    Acetone
  2.    Acetic acid
  3.    Acetophenone
  4.    Phenyl acetate
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Acetophenone
The formula C6H5-CO-CH3 represents Acetophenone.
Question 14. The maximum number of covalent formed by nitrogen is
  1.    1
  2.    2
  3.    3
  4.    4
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 4
Covalency of an atom in a covalent compound is the number of covalent bonds formed by an atom. Maximum covalency of Nitrogen is 4 (example - ammonium ions).
Question 15. The mass number of an atom is equal to
  1.    the number of protons
  2.    the number of protons and electrons
  3.    the number of nucleons
  4.    the number of neutrons
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> the number of nucleons
The mass number of an atom is equal to the number of nucleons.
Question 16. Which of the following is used as non-stick coating for cooking utensils?
  1.    Perspex
  2.    Styrofoam
  3.    Polystyrene
  4.    Teflon
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Teflon
The modern non-stick pans were made using a coating of Teflon (polytetrafluoroethylene or PTFE).
Question 17. Non-stick kitchenwares are coated with
  1.    PVC
  2.    Graphite
  3.    Teflon
  4.    Silicon
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Teflon
The modern non-stick pans were made using a coating of Teflon (polytetrafluoroethylene or PTFE). PTFE was invented serendipitously by Roy Plunkett in 1938, while working for a joint venture of the DuPont company.
Question 18. The fibre least prone to catch fire is
  1.    Nylon
  2.    Polyester
  3.    Cotton
  4.    Terylene
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Cotton
Cotton is the fibre that is least prone to catch fire. There are many other such fibres but cotton tops the list here. Cotton is natural fibre which is polymer of glucose. cotton helps to prevent on catching fibre. That's why our parents use cotton clothes in kitchen.
Question 19. Which of the following is used to make light weight, but strong plastic ?
  1.    Nylon
  2.    Polythene
  3.    Polyvinyl Chloride
  4.    Methyl Methacrylate
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Polyvinyl Chloride
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is a common, strong but lightweight plastic that is used in making tough plastic. It is used for flexible applications such as insulating cables. It is the third-most widely produced synthetic plastic polymer, after polyethylene and polypropylene.
Question 20. Which of the following fibres catches fire least ?
  1.    Nylon
  2.    Cotton
  3.    Rayon
  4.    Terricot
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Cotton
Cotton is the fibre that is least prone to catch fire. There are many other such fibres but cotton tops the list here. Cotton is natural fibre which is polymer of glucose. cotton helps to prevent on catching fibre. That's why our parents use cotton clothes in kitchen.
