Hydrogen peroxide decomposes to water and oxygen. This reaction is: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Hydrogen peroxide decomposes to water and oxygen. This reaction is:
A. H₂O₂ + H₂ → 2H₂O
B. 2H₂O₂ → 2H₂O + O₂
C. H₂O₂ + O → H₂O + O₂
D. 2H₂O₂ → 2H₂ + 2O₂
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Decomposition of H₂O₂ yields water and O₂. It is catalyzed by MnO₂, light, or enzyme catalase. It's a disproportionation reaction.

Niels Bohr's model introduced the concept of:
A. Uncertainty principle
B. Quantized energy levels
C. Wave nature of electron
D. Electron cloud

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Bohr proposed that electrons revolve in certain allowed orbits with fixed energy, and they can jump between orbits by absorbing/emitting quanta of energy. This explained hydrogen spectrum. Electron cloud is quantum mechanical model; wave nature by de Broglie; uncertainty by Heisenberg.

Question #2
Methanol is toxic because it is metabolized to:
A. Acetone
B. Formaldehyde and formic acid
C. Ethanol
D. Acetic acid

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
In the liver, methanol is oxidized to formaldehyde, then to formic acid, which damages the optic nerve and can cause blindness or death. Ethanol is used as an antidote by competing for the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase.

Question #3
Which subatomic particle has a mass of approximately 1.67 × 10⁻²⁷ kg and no charge?
A. Neutron
B. Proton
C. Electron
D. Positron

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Neutron has mass approximately equal to proton (1.675 × 10⁻²⁷ kg) and no electric charge. Proton mass ~1.673 × 10⁻²⁷ kg, positive charge. Electron mass ~9.11 × 10⁻³¹ kg, negative charge. Positron is the antiparticle of electron, same mass, positive charge. Neutron's neutrality makes it important for nuclear stability.
