41. Potassium Permanganate is used for purifying drinking water because- [S.S.C. Online Graduate Level (T-I) 2.09.2016]

Correct Answer: (b) It is an oxidising agent
Solution:Potassium permanganate is an oxidizing substance found as a dry purple solid. Due to its ability to destroy harmful bacteria, it is used for the purification of drinking water

42. When the process of format an ion of hydrogen by passing steam over red hot iron is presented in the form of a balanced chemical equation, then the number of water molecules on the left-hand side of the equation is__________. [S.S.C. Online M.T.S. (T-I) 13.10.2021]

Correct Answer: (a) Four
Solution:When water vapor is passed over the hot iron, iron oxide is formed and hydrogen gas is liberated, whose chemical equation is as follows—

3Fe + 4H₂O → Fe₃O₄ + 4H₂

So it is clear that the number of water molecules in the left side is 4.

43. Chemical disinfection of drinking water can be done using: [S.S.C. JE Mechanical Exam 22.03.2021]

Correct Answer: (c) Chlorine
Solution:Chemical disinfection of drinking water can be done by chlorine, In fact, chlorine can destroy bacteria and other harmful organisms present in drinking water.

44. __________is the movement of chemicals in the upper layers of soil into lower layers or into groundwater by being dissolved in water. [S.S.C. Online CHSL (T-I) 3.02.2017]

Correct Answer: (d) Leaching
Solution:

The leaching process is the operation of chemicals in the upper layers of the soil to dissolve in water, into the lower layers of the soil, or into the groundwater. The process of leaching within the chemical industry is commonly known as extraction.

45. The molecular mass of a gas is_________. [S.S.C. Online Graduate Level (T-I) 9.09.2016 ]

Correct Answer: (a) twice its vapour pressure
Solution:According to a formula expressing the relationship between the molecular mass (or molecular mass) of a gas and its vapor density, the Molecular mass of the gas = 2 × vapor density shows that the molecular mass of a gas is twice its vapor density.

PV = nRT

Pmd=nRT

P ∝ d

It is clear from the above that density is directly proportional to pressure. Therefore, pressure will increase with the increase in density and decrease with a decrease in density. It is clear from this that the molecular mass of a gas is twice its vapor pressure.

46. Solid carbon dioxide is known as_________. [S.S.C. Online CHSL (T-I) 19.01.2017]

Correct Answer: (d) Dry Ice
Solution:

Solid carbon dioxide is known as 'dry ice'. Normally carbon dioxide remains in the gaseous state, but when the normal pressure of carbon dioxide gas is reduced, that gas shrinks to the solid state and it freezes like ice.

47. What is the more common name for solid carbon dioxide? [S.S.C. Online Graduate Level (T-I) 3.03.2020]

Correct Answer: (c) Dry Ice
Solution:

Solid carbon dioxide is known as 'dry ice'. Normally carbon dioxide remains in the gaseous state, but when the normal pressure of carbon dioxide gas is reduced, that gas shrinks to the solid state and it freezes like ice.

48. Which gas in its solid state is also known as dry ice? [S.S.C. Online Graduate Level (T-I) 4.06.2019]

Correct Answer: (a) Carbon dioxide
Solution:

Solid carbon dioxide is known as 'dry ice'. Normally carbon dioxide remains in the gaseous state, but when the normal pressure of carbon dioxide gas is reduced, that gas shrinks to the solid state and it freezes like ice.

49. When dry ice is heated, it changes directly into: [S.S.C. JE. Mechanical Exam 27.10.2020]

Correct Answer: (c) Gas
Solution:Solid carbon dioxide (CO₂) gas is called dry ice. When dry ice is heated, it directly converts into a gas. It is used as a cooling agent

50. What is formed when carbon dioxide is passed through lime water? [S.S.C. Online Graduate Level (T-I) 22.08.2017]

Correct Answer: (b) Calcium carbonate
Solution:When carbon dioxide gas is passed through lime water or Ca(OH2), its color becomes milky. This is due to the formation of calcium carbonate.

Ca(OH), + CO₂→ CaCO, + H₂O
