The rate of effusion of two gases A and B are in the ratio 1:2. If molar mass of A is 64 g/mol, molar mass of B is: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The rate of effusion of two gases A and B are in the ratio 1:2. If molar mass of A is 64 g/mol, molar mass of B is:
A. 16 g/mol
B. 128 g/mol
C. 32 g/mol
D. 256 g/mol
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Graham's law: r₁/r₂ = √(M₂/M₁). Given rA/rB = 1/2, so √(MB/MA) = 1/2. Squaring: MB/MA = 1/4 => MB = MA/4 = 64/4 = 16 g/mol. B is lighter and diffuses faster. Logical check: rate inversely proportional to square root of molar mass; if rate is double, mass is quarter. Answer is 16.

Question #1
The half-life of a radioactive sample is 2 hours. What fraction remains after 6 hours?
A. 1/16
B. 1/4
C. 1/8
D. 1/2

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Number of half-lives = 6/2 = 3. Remaining = (1/2)³ = 1/8. After each half-life, half the remaining decays.

Question #2
Which of the following allotropes of carbon is used as a lubricant?
A. Fullerene
B. Coal
C. Diamond
D. Graphite

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Graphite's layered structure with weak van der Waals forces between layers allows them to slide over each other, making it a good dry lubricant. It is used in machines where oil cannot be used (high temperature) or in pencil lead mixed with clay. Diamond is hard, used as abrasive. Fullerenes are nanomaterials, not lubricants. Coal is fuel.

Question #3
Which of the following compounds has both ionic and covalent bonds?
A. NaCl
B. CH₄
C. HCl
D. NaOH

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) has ionic bond between Na⁺ and OH⁻, and covalent bond between O and H within OH⁻. NaCl is purely ionic; CH₄ and HCl are purely covalent (polar covalent in HCl, but not ionic).
