The concentration of dissolved oxygen in water is a measure of its: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The concentration of dissolved oxygen in water is a measure of its:
A. Acidity
B. Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD)
C. Hardness
D. Purity
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
The amount of dissolved oxygen is crucial for aquatic life. The Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) is the amount of dissolved oxygen needed by aerobic biological organisms to break down organic material. High BOD indicates high organic pollution and low dissolved oxygen levels.

Question #1
Identify the type of reaction: CuSO₄ + Fe → FeSO₄ + Cu.
A. Combination
B. Double displacement
C. Decomposition
D. Displacement

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
This is a single displacement reaction. Iron (Fe) is more reactive than Copper (Cu), so it displaces copper from its aqueous sulfate solution. The blue color of CuSO₄ fades, and a brown deposit of Cu forms. Reactivity series dictates that a more reactive metal displaces a less reactive one.

Question #2
Niels Bohr's model of the atom introduced the concept of:
A. Wave-particle duality of electrons.
B. Electrons embedded in a positive sphere.
C. Quantized electron orbits.
D. A dense central nucleus.

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
In 1913, Niels Bohr modified Rutherford's model to explain atomic stability and emission spectra. He introduced the concept of quantized electron orbits (or energy levels), stating that electrons revolve in specific, fixed orbits without radiating energy, and they only emit or absorb energy when jumping between these discrete levels.

Question #3
Which type of bond is formed by the transfer of electrons from a metal to a non-metal?
A. Coordinate bond
B. Ionic bond
C. Covalent bond
D. Hydrogen bond

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Ionic (electrovalent) bond involves complete transfer of one or more valence electrons. Example: Na → Na⁺ + e⁻, Cl + e⁻ → Cl⁻, forming NaCl. Covalent bond shares electrons; coordinate bond is a special covalent bond where one atom donates both electrons.
