Question 31.


Which of the following metal is the main constituents of haemoglobin?


  1.     Fe
  2.     Na
  3.     Cu
  4.     Mg
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Fe
:
A

Fe (Iron) is the main constituent of haemoglobin. It helps in carrying oxygen to the cells.


Question 32.


Which of the following methods can be used for preventing corrosion?


  1.     Painting
  2.     Galvanising
  3.     Chrome plating
  4.     All of the given options
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> All of the given options
:
D

Rusting of iron can be prevented by painting, oiling, greasing, galvanizing, chrome plating, anodizing or making alloys. 
Through galvanisation, painting and chrome plating, the surface of the metal is no longer exposed to the atmosphere, and thus, corrosion is prevented.


Question 33.


Which of the following is a sulphide ore of copper?


  1.     Azurite 
  2.     Copper glance 
  3.     Cuprite 
  4.     Malachite 
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Copper glance 
:
B

Copper Glance ( Cu2S) is a sulphide ore of copper. Rest are oxide ores of copper.


Question 34.


________ is the process used to concentrate magnetic ores.


  1.     Roasting
  2.     Magnetic separation
  3.     Leaching
  4.     Froath floatation
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Magnetic separation
:
B

  • Magnetic separation method is used for concentrating ores that contain impurites that have magnetic properties.

  • Froath floatation process is used to concentrate sulphide ores.

  • Leaching is a process used to concentrate ores that can be dissolved in a chemical solvent.

  • Roasting is the process of converting a sulphide ore to an oxide ore by heating it in the presence of oxygen at higher temperatures. This is generally done after concentation of the ore.


Question 35.


Iron is less reactive than _____.


  1.     hydrogen
  2.     copper
  3.     magnesium
  4.     gold
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> magnesium
:
C
The arrangement of the metals in the increasing or decreasing order of its reactivity is called the reactivity series of the metals. The reactivity series is shown below:
Iron Is Less Reactive Than _____.
Therefore, as per the reactivity series iron is less reactive than magnesium.
Question 36.


Which of the following is true regarding ionic compounds.


  • Statement 1 : Ionic compounds have high melting point.

  • Statement 2 : Strong attraction force between atoms of ionic compounds.



  1.     Only statement 1 is true.
  2.     Only statement 2 is true.
  3.     Both statements are true but statement 2 is not the correct reason for statement 1.
  4.     Both statements are true. Also, Statement 2 is the correct reason for statement 1.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Both statements are true. Also, Statement 2 is the correct reason for statement 1.
:
D
Ionic compounds are made up of positive and negative ions which have strong electrostatic force of attraction among them. So, a lot of heat energy is required to break this force of attraction due to which ionic compounds have high melting point.
Question 37.


Li has 1 electron in its outer shell, Cl has 7 electrons in its outer shell. Choose the correct option:


  1.     Li and Cl have valency 1 and 7 respectively
  2.     Li and Cl have valency 1 and 1 respectively
  3.     Li and Cl have valency 1 and 6 respectively
  4.     Li and Cl have valency 0 and 1 respectively
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Li and Cl have valency 1 and 1 respectively
:
B

Valency of an atom is the number of electrons it is willing to give up or accept in order to achieve electronic configuration of nearest stable noble gas.
Here, if lithium gives up one electron, it achieves the configuration of helium which is stable. So the valency of lithium is 1. 
Similarly, chlorine accepts 1 electron to achieve the configuration of argon. So the valency of chlorine is 1.


Question 38.


Magnalium is an alloy of aluminium.


  1.     True
  2.     False
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A

Magnalium is an alloy of aluminium with magnesium and small amounts of nickel and tin.


Question 39.


Mercury is a non-metal which is liquid at room temperature.


  1.     True
  2.     False
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A

Mercury is the only metal that exists as a liquid at room temperature and pressure.


Question 40.


Which of the following is the most malleable metal?


  1.     Na
  2.     Si
  3.     Au
  4.     Pb
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Au
:
C

Malleability refers to the ability of a metal to get beaten or flattened into thin sheets. Gold is the most malleable metal of all. Hence, extremely thin sheets of it can be obtained. 
This makes it useful in many applications like shielding from harmful radiation, in jewellery, etc.
