  1.    Phosphorous
  2.    Indium
  3.    Manganese
  4.    Chromium
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Chromium
CHROMIUM(III) SALTS ARE USED IN THE TANNING OF LEATHER. CHROMIUM IS A STEELY-GREY, LUSTROUS, HARD AND BRITTLE TRANSITION METAL WHICH IS ALSO USED AS AN ADDITIVE IN STAINLESS STEEL.
Question 72. Which of these non-metals is lustrous?
  1.    iodine
  2.    selenium
  3.    phosphorous
  4.    All of the above
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> iodine
IODINE IS THE ONLY NON-METAL WHICH IS LUSTROUS IN NATURE. ALL THE OTHER NON-METALS ARE NON-LUSTROUS IN NATURE. THIS PROPERTY OF IODINE MAKES IT UNIQUE AMONG THE NON-METALS.
Question 73. Which of these non-metals is commonly used in fire-crackers?
  1.    Silicon
  2.    Neon
  3.    Sulphur
  4.    Fluorine
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Sulphur
SULPHUR IS COMMONLY USED IN FIRE-CRACKERS. NITROGEN AND PHOSPHOROUS ARE TWO OTHER NON-METALS WHICH ARE COMMONLY USED IN FIREWORKS.
Question 74. Which of these is the reason for the temporary hardness in water?
  1.    calcium bicarbonate
  2.    magnesium bicarbonate
  3.    Both a and b
  4.    None
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Both a and b
TEMPORARY HARDNESS IS A TYPE OF WATER HARDNESS CAUSED BY THE PRESENCE OF DISSOLVED BICARBONATE MINERALS (CALCIUM BICARBONATE AND MAGNESIUM BICARBONATE).
Question 75. Which part of the soap dissolves in water?
  1.    ionic end
  2.    carbon chain
  3.    Both a and b
  4.    None
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> ionic end
THE IONIC-END OF SOAP DISSOLVES IN WATER WHILE THE CARBON CHAIN DISSOLVES IN OIL. THE ACTION OF SOAPS AND DETERGENTS IS BASED ON THE PRESENCE OF BOTH HYDROPHOBIC AND HYDROPHILIC GROUPS IN THE MOLECULE.
Question 76. Which of these cannot be the reason for the permanent hardness in water?
  1.    calcium sulphate
  2.    calcium chloride
  3.    calcium bicarbonate
  4.    None of the above
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> calcium bicarbonate
THE PERMANENT HARDNESS IN WATER IS DUE TO THE PRESENCE OF CALCIUM SULPHATE/CALCIUM CHLORIDE AND/OR MAGNESIUM SULPHATE/MAGNESIUM CHLORIDE IN WATER.
Question 77. Which of these drugs help to reduce or abolish pain without causing impairment of consciousness?
  1.    Analgesics
  2.    Antibiotics
  3.    Tranquilisers
  4.    Antiseptics

Question 78. Which of these chemicals is used as a water softening agent?
  1.    Baking soda
  2.    Washing soda
  3.    Bleaching powder
  4.    Slaked lime
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Washing soda
WASHING SODA’S CHEMICAL FORMULA IS NA₂CO₃. IT BINDS CALCIUM AND MAGNESIUM PRESENT IN THE WATER AND CREATES AN INSOLUBLE SUBSTANCE.
Question 79. Which of the following metals is the first metal used by a man?
  1.    Gold
  2.    Copper
  3.    Silver
  4.    Iron
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Copper
A COPPER AWL IS THE OLDEST METAL OBJECT UNEARTHED TO DATE IN THE MIDDLE EAST. THE DISCOVERY REVEALS THAT METALS WERE EXCHANGED ACROSS HUNDREDS OF MILES IN THIS REGION MORE THAN 6,000 YEARS AGO, CENTURIES EARLIER THAN PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT, RESEARCHERS SAY.
Question 80. Which of the following is the process to remove calcium and magnesium from hard water?
  1.    Filtration
  2.    Flocculation
  3.    Sedimentation
  4.    Water softening
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Water softening
WATER SOFTENING IS THE REMOVAL OF CALCIUM, MAGNESIUM, AND CERTAIN OTHER METAL CATIONS IN HARD WATER. THE RESULTING SOFT WATER REQUIRES LESS SOAP FOR THE SAME CLEANING EFFORT, AS SOAP IS NOT WASTED MOPPING UP CALCIUM IONS.
