Terylene is also known as: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Terylene is also known as:
A. Polyacrylonitrile
B. Nylon
C. Polyurethane
D. Polyester
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Terylene is a synthetic fiber belonging to the polyester family. Chemically, it is polyethylene terephthalate (PET), formed by the condensation polymerization of ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid. It is widely used in textiles, plastic bottles, and recording tapes.

Question #1
Which of the following catalysts is used in the hydrogenation of alkenes?
A. Pt or Ni
B. V₂O₅
C. Fe
D. MnO₂

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Hydrogenation of alkenes (addition of H₂ across double bond) is catalyzed by finely divided metals like nickel, platinum, or palladium. These adsorb H₂ and the unsaturated compound, facilitating reaction. V₂O₅ is for oxidation (Contact), MnO₂ for H₂O₂ decomposition, Fe for Haber process. Nickel is the most common industrial catalyst for hydrogenation.

Question #2
Ionization energy generally decreases down a group because:
A. Number of valence electrons increases
B. Electron affinity increases
C. Nuclear charge decreases
D. Atomic radius increases and shielding effect increases

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Down a group, number of shells increases, atomic radius increases, and inner electrons shield the outermost electron from the nucleus. The effective nuclear charge experienced by valence electron decreases, making it easier to remove. Thus ionization energy decreases. For example, IE of Cs

Question #3
Which of the following does NOT involve a chemical change?
A. Making curd from milk
B. Fermentation of grapes
C. Evaporation of water
D. Souring of milk

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Evaporation of water is a physical change—liquid water changes to water vapor, but the chemical composition (H₂O) remains unchanged. Souring of milk and curd formation involve lactic acid bacteria converting lactose to lactic acid (chemical change). Fermentation of grapes involves yeast converting sugars to ethanol and CO₂. Chemical changes produce new substances. Physical changes only alter the state or form.
