Ozone layer depletion is maximum over: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Ozone layer depletion is maximum over:
A. Tropic of Cancer
B. North Pole only
C. Antarctica
D. Equator
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
The 'ozone hole' is most prominent over Antarctica during spring due to unique polar stratospheric clouds and CFC accumulation. Arctic ozone depletion also occurs but is less severe.

Question #1
Which of the following was proposed by Rutherford's alpha-particle scattering experiment?
A. Electrons revolve in fixed energy orbits.
B. Most of the mass and positive charge is concentrated in a tiny nucleus.
C. The atom is a positively charged sphere with embedded electrons.
D. Electrons exhibit wave-particle duality.

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Rutherford's experiment led to the nuclear model of the atom, concluding that almost all the mass and positive charge are concentrated in a very small central nucleus, while electrons orbit around it. Option B is Thomson's model, A is Bohr's model, and D is de Broglie's concept.

Question #2
Which of the following fertilizers provides both nitrogen and phosphorus?
A. Ammonium sulfate
B. Diammonium phosphate (DAP)
C. Muriate of potash
D. Urea

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Diammonium phosphate (DAP), with the formula (NH4)2HPO4, is a widely used complex fertilizer. It provides two essential macronutrients: nitrogen (from the ammonium ion) and phosphorus (from the phosphate ion). Urea and ammonium sulfate provide only nitrogen, while muriate of potash provides potassium.

Question #3
In the reaction Fe₂O₃ + 2Al → Al₂O₃ + 2Fe, which element is oxidized?
A. Al
B. None
C. Fe
D. O

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Aluminium goes from 0 to +3 oxidation state (Al → Al³⁺ + 3e⁻), so it is oxidized. Iron goes from +3 to 0 (Fe³⁺ + 3e⁻ → Fe), reduced. This is a thermite reaction, highly exothermic, used for welding. Al is the reducing agent, Fe₂O₃ is the oxidizing agent. Oxidation is loss of electrons.
