Question 51. How does common salt help in separating soap from the solution after saponification?
  1.    By decreasing density of Soap
  2.    By decreasing solubility of Soap
  3.    By increasing density of Soap
  4.    By increasing solubility of Soap
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> By decreasing solubility of Soap
Common salt help in separating soap from the solution after saponification by decreasing solubility of soap.
Question 52. Glass is made of the mixture of:
  1.    Quartz and mica
  2.    Sand and silicates
  3.    Salt and quartz
  4.    Sand and salt
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Sand and silicates
Glass is made of the mixture of sand and silicates.
Question 53. Noise or Noise pollution measured in:
  1.    Phon
  2.    Deci
  3.    Decibel
  4.    Decimal
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Decibel
Noise or Noise pollution is measured in Decibel.
Question 54. The percentage of oxygen present in air is approximately-
  1.    44%
  2.    23%
  3.    40%
  4.    21%
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 21%
The air in Earth's atmosphere is made up of approximately 78 percent nitrogen and 21 percent oxygen. Air also has small amounts of lots of other gases, too, such as carbon dioxide, neon, and hydrogen.
Question 55. What are metal bearing rocks called?
  1.    Bitumen
  2.    Bauxite
  3.    Metalloids
  4.    Ores
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Ores
Ore is metal-bearing rock that can be mined, transported, processed, and sold at a profit. Although a broader definition includes nonmetallic rocks like rock salt and gypsum, most geologists classify these materials as industrial rocks and minerals.
Question 56. Which is the absolute temperature scale?
  1.    Celsius
  2.    Fahrenheit
  3.    Kelvin
  4.    All of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Kelvin
Absolute temperature is used in application of the ideal gas law and many other laws of thermodynamics. A scale for absolute temperature with degree units the same as on the Celsius scale is known as the Kelvin scale; the absolute temperature scale using Fahrenheit degree units is the Rankine scale.
Question 57. Which layer protects earth from harmful rays of the Sun?
  1.    Ionosphere
  2.    Ozone layer
  3.    Troposphere
  4.    Magnetosphere
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Ozone layer
The ozone layer protects the Earth against most UVB coming from the sun.
Question 58. Atoms of an element differ from those of all other elements in
  1.    Atomic number and electronic configuration.
  2.    Number of neutrons and number of valence electrons.
  3.    Atomic number and number of valence electrons.
  4.    Number of neutrons and electronic configuration.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Atomic number and electronic configuration.
Atoms of an element differ from those of all other elements in number of neutrons and electronic configuration.
Question 59. Which of the following rays are the most penetrating?
  1.    Beta rays
  2.    Alpha rays
  3.    Gamma rays
  4.    X-rays
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Gamma rays
Gamma radiation is the most penetrating of the three radiations. It can easily penetrate body tissue.
Question 60. Nuclear fission is caused by the impact of:
  1.    Neutron
  2.    Proton
  3.    Deuteron
  4.    Electron
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Neutron
Nuclear fission in fissile fuels is the result of the nuclear excitation energy produced when a fissile nucleus captures a neutron.
