The separation technique that uses a porous barrier to separate solids from liquids is: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The separation technique that uses a porous barrier to separate solids from liquids is:
A. Sublimation
B. Chromatography
C. Distillation
D. Filtration
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Filtration uses filter paper or other porous medium that allows liquid to pass but retains solid particles. Distillation separates liquids by boiling points; sublimation separates sublimable solids; chromatography separates based on differential adsorption. Example: separating sand from water.

Question #1
An ideal gas is one that:
A. Cannot be liquefied.
B. Both B and C
C. Has no mass.
D. Obeys all gas laws perfectly at all temperatures and pressures.

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
An ideal gas is a theoretical gas that perfectly obeys the ideal gas equation (PV=nRT) and all gas laws under all conditions. It assumes no intermolecular forces and zero molecular volume. Because of these assumptions, an ideal gas cannot be liquefied, unlike real gases which deviate at high pressures.

Question #2
NPK fertilizer supplies which primary nutrients?
A. Sodium, Phosphorus, Potassium
B. Nitrogen, Potassium, Calcium
C. Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium
D. Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Calcium

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
NPK stands for Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), and Potassium (K), the three primary macronutrients essential for plant growth. N promotes leaf growth, P aids root and flower development, K supports overall health. Fertilizer labels like 10-26-26 indicate the percentages of N, P₂O₅, and K₂O respectively. Calcium, magnesium, and sulfur are secondary nutrients, while Fe, Mn, Zn etc. are micronutrients.

Question #3
Which of the following is a mixed fertilizer?
A. Superphosphate
B. Urea
C. NPK
D. Ammonium sulfate

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
NPK is a mixed (complex) fertilizer containing nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Urea is a straight nitrogenous fertilizer. Ammonium sulfate is nitrogenous. Superphosphate is phosphatic. Mixed fertilizers supply two or more primary nutrients. They can be granulated or blended. DAP provides N and P, but NPK provides all three.
