Question 1
The theory which could explain the law of chemical composition is
a)
Avogadro's law
b)
Gay Lussac's law
c)
Dalton's atomic theory
d)
Antoine Lavoisier theory t
e)
None of these
Correct Answer:
c) Dalton's atomic theory
Explanation:
Dalton's atomic theory explains the law of chemical composition. Avogadro's law states that, at
same temperature and pressure, equal volume of gas contains Avogadro number of particles. Gay
Lussac's law explains about gaseous volume. Antoine Lavoisier theory explains about law of
conservation of mass.
Question 2
The rate at which a gas escapes through a pin-hole into a vacuum is called
a)
Diffusion
b)
Effusion
c)
Decomposition
d)
Displacement
e)
Evaporation
Correct Answer:
b) Effusion
Explanation:
The rate at which a gas escapes through a pinhole into a vacuum is called Effusion. Diffusion is the
rate at which two gases mix. Decomposition is breaking down of complex molecules to simple ones.
Displacement reaction is replacement of one element in a compound by other element. Evaporation
is a process where molecules get vapourised.
Question 3
Pick out the correct example for semi-conductors
a)
NaCl
b)
Si-Ge
c)
Nb3Ge alloy
d)
Sulphur compound
e)
SiO2
