Graham's law deals with: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Graham's law deals with:
A. Rate of diffusion and molar mass
B. Pressure and volume
C. Current and time
D. Volume and temperature
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Graham's law of effusion/diffusion: Rate ∝ 1/√M (molar mass) at same temperature and pressure. Lighter gases diffuse faster. This is used in isotope separation (e.g., ²³⁵UF₆ vs ²³⁸UF₆) and in understanding gas behavior in leaks.

Question #1
The combining capacity of an element is called its:
A. Valency
B. Ionization energy
C. Mass number
D. Atomic number

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Valency is the number of electrons an atom can lose, gain, or share to achieve a stable octet. It determines the number of chemical bonds it can form. For example, carbon has valency 4, oxygen 2, chlorine 1. Atomic number is number of protons, mass number is protons+neutrons, ionization energy is energy required to remove electron.

Question #2
Which of the following reactions is a neutralization reaction?
A. CaCO₃ → CaO + CO₂
B. 2Na + Cl₂ → 2NaCl
C. Fe + CuSO₄ → FeSO₄ + Cu
D. HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H₂O

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Neutralization is the reaction of an acid and a base to form salt and water. HCl (acid) + NaOH (base) → NaCl (salt) + H₂O. Option A is combination; C is decomposition; D is displacement.

Question #3
The process of converting vegetable oils to solid fats (vanaspati) involves:
A. Esterification
B. Hydrogenation
C. Fermentation
D. Saponification

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Hydrogenation adds hydrogen to unsaturated vegetable oils in the presence of nickel catalyst at about 150°C, converting liquid oils (C=C bonds) to solid fats (vanaspati ghee) with higher melting points. Saponification makes soap. Esterification forms esters. Fermentation produces alcohol. Partial hydrogenation can produce trans fats, which are harmful. Complete hydrogenation yields saturated fats.
