The process of separating ammonium chloride from a mixture of ammonium chloride and salt uses: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The process of separating ammonium chloride from a mixture of ammonium chloride and salt uses:
A. Sublimation
B. Distillation
C. Evaporation
D. Filtration
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Ammonium chloride sublimes on heating; it converts directly from solid to vapor, leaving behind common salt. The vapors can be condensed on a cold surface to obtain solid NH₄Cl. This method works for any mixture where one component sublimes and the other does not.

Question #1
In the reaction: 2PbO + C → 2Pb + CO₂, which substance is oxidized?
A. CO₂
B. Pb
C. PbO
D. C

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Oxidation is the gain of oxygen or loss of electrons. Here, Carbon (C) gains oxygen to form Carbon dioxide (CO₂), so Carbon is oxidized. Lead oxide (PbO) loses oxygen to form Lead (Pb), so PbO is reduced. This is a classic redox reaction where both processes occur simultaneously.

Question #2
Consider the following statements: 1. Biofuels are renewable energy sources. 2. Biodiesel is produced by the transesterification of vegetable oils. Which is/are correct?
A. Both 1 and 2
B. 2 only
C. Neither 1 nor 2
D. 1 only

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Biofuels, such as bioethanol and biodiesel, are derived from recent biological materials (biomass) and can be replenished, making them renewable. Biodiesel is specifically produced through transesterification, a chemical reaction where vegetable oils or animal fats react with an alcohol (like methanol) to form fatty acid methyl esters.

Question #3
Which of the following increases the rate of a chemical reaction?
A. Decreasing concentration of reactants
B. Decreasing temperature
C. Adding a positive catalyst
D. Using larger pieces of solid reactants

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
A positive catalyst increases reaction rate by lowering activation energy. Decreasing temperature generally slows reactions. Decreasing concentration reduces collision frequency, lowering rate. Larger pieces have less surface area, slower reaction. Other rate-increasing factors: increasing temperature, increasing pressure (for gases), using finely powdered solids, and light for photochemical reactions.
