Question #1
Enzymes are specific in action because:
A. They are proteins
B. They are sensitive to pH
C. Their active site has a specific shape fitting the substrate
D. They are biocatalysts

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
The 'lock-and-key' model explains enzyme specificity: the substrate fits into the active site like a key in a lock. Protein nature is general; specificity arises from 3D structure.

Question #2
The main gas present in CNG is:
A. Ethane
B. Butane
C. Methane
D. Propane

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) is primarily methane (CH₄). It is stored at high pressure (200-250 bar). It is used as a vehicular fuel and for cooking. LPG is primarily propane and butane. CNG is cleaner, produces less CO₂ per unit energy, and is safer in leaks as methane is lighter than air. It has high octane rating.

Question #3
Which salt is formed when hydrochloric acid reacts with sodium hydroxide?
A. Sodium nitrate
B. Sodium carbonate
C. Sodium sulfate
D. Sodium chloride

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H₂O. This is a neutralization reaction producing sodium chloride (common salt). NaNO₃ from HNO₃, Na₂SO₄ from H₂SO₄, Na₂CO₃ from H₂CO₃ (weak acid).
