A solution turns methyl orange yellow. Its pH is: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A solution turns methyl orange yellow. Its pH is:
A. Between 3 and 4.4
B. Exactly 7
C. Less than 3
D. Greater than 4.4
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Methyl orange is red in acidic (pH4.4). So yellow indicates pH above 4.4; could be neutral or basic.

Question #1
NPK fertilizer supplies which primary nutrients?
A. Nitrogen, Potassium, Calcium
B. Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Calcium
C. Sodium, Phosphorus, Potassium
D. Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
NPK stands for Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), and Potassium (K), the three primary macronutrients essential for plant growth. N promotes leaf growth, P aids root and flower development, K supports overall health. Fertilizer labels like 10-26-26 indicate the percentages of N, P₂O₅, and K₂O respectively. Calcium, magnesium, and sulfur are secondary nutrients, while Fe, Mn, Zn etc. are micronutrients.

Question #2
The corrosion of iron can be prevented by coating it with a layer of zinc. This process is called:
A. Galvanization
B. Tinning
C. Electroplating with silver
D. Anodizing

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Galvanization is the process of applying a protective zinc coating to iron or steel to prevent rusting. Zinc acts as sacrificial anode. Tinning is coating with tin (tin cans). Anodizing is an electrochemical process for aluminum to form protective oxide. Electroplating can be with any metal. Galvanized iron is used for roofing sheets, water pipes.

Question #3
During the extraction of aluminium by Hall-Héroult process, cryolite (Na₃AlF₆) is added to alumina to:
A. Lower the melting point and increase conductivity
B. Prevent corrosion
C. Increase the yield of aluminium
D. Act as catalyst

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Alumina has a very high melting point (~2050°C). Cryolite (and fluorspar) is mixed to form a molten mixture with lower melting point (~950°C) and better electrical conductivity, enabling electrolytic reduction. The electrolyte is a solution of alumina in molten cryolite. Carbon anodes are consumed. This reduces energy consumption.
