Sulphuric acid is manufactured by: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Sulphuric acid is manufactured by:
A. Ostwald process
B. Haber process
C. Contact process
D. Solvay process
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
The Contact process produces sulphuric acid: S + O₂ → SO₂; 2SO₂ + O₂ ⇌ 2SO₃ (V₂O₅ catalyst); SO₃ + H₂SO₄ → H₂S₂O₇ (oleum); H₂S₂O₇ + H₂O → 2H₂SO₄. Haber process for NH₃, Ostwald for HNO₃, Solvay for Na₂CO₃.

Question #1
Which metal is used in the galvanization of iron?
A. Chromium
B. Nickel
C. Zinc
D. Tin

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Galvanization coats iron with zinc. Zinc is more reactive, corrodes first (sacrificial protection). Tin coating protects only if intact. Chromium is used for plating, nickel for alloys, but galvanizing specifically uses zinc.

Question #2
Isotopes of hydrogen include protium, deuterium, and tritium. Which one is radioactive?
A. Protium
B. Deuterium
C. Tritium
D. Both protium and deuterium

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Tritium (³H) is a radioactive isotope with a half-life of ~12.3 years, decaying by beta emission to ³He. Protium (¹H) and deuterium (²H) are stable. Tritium is used in self-luminous paints, tracer studies, and nuclear fusion. It occurs naturally in very small amounts from cosmic rays but is mainly produced in nuclear reactors.

Question #3
The modern periodic table arranges elements in order of increasing:
A. Atomic number
B. Mass number
C. Number of neutrons
D. Atomic mass

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
The modern periodic law, established by Henry Moseley, states that the properties of elements are periodic functions of their atomic numbers. Mendeleev’s original table was based on atomic mass, but the modern version uses atomic number which resolves anomalies like Ar (Z=18, mass 40) and K (Z=19, mass 39).
