Question #1
Which hydrocarbon belongs to the alkene series?
A. C₂H₆
B. C₂H₄
C. CH₄
D. C₃H₈

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Alkenes follow CₙH₂ₙ. C₂H₄ (ethene) fits n=2 giving H=4. C₂H₆ and CH₄ are alkanes (CₙH₂ₙ₊₂); C₃H₈ is propane (alkane). Alkenes contain a carbon-carbon double bond.

Question #2
During electrolysis, reduction takes place at the:
A. Cathode
B. Salt bridge
C. Anode
D. Electrolyte

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
In an electrochemical cell, reduction (gain of electrons) always occurs at the cathode, regardless of whether the cell is electrolytic or galvanic. At the anode, oxidation (loss of electrons) occurs. Memory aid: 'RED CAT' (REDuction at CAThode), 'AN OX' (OXidation at ANode). In electrolysis, the cathode is connected to the negative terminal of the battery, attracting cations which get reduced.

Question #3
Nitric acid reacts with copper to produce:
A. Nitrogen and water
B. Oxygen
C. Nitrogen dioxide and copper nitrate
D. Hydrogen

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Cu + 4HNO₃ (conc.) → Cu(NO₃)₂ + 2NO₂ + 2H₂O. Dilute HNO₃ gives NO instead of NO₂. Copper does not produce H₂ with HNO₃ because HNO₃ is an oxidizing acid.
