Question #1
Stainless steel contains iron, chromium, and often nickel. Which element provides the corrosion resistance?
A. Chromium
B. Carbon
C. Nickel
D. Iron

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Chromium (minimum 10.5%) forms a thin, adherent, transparent oxide layer (Cr₂O₃) on the surface, preventing further oxidation. Nickel adds ductility and enhances corrosion resistance. Iron is the base; carbon is for hardness but not corrosion resistance.

Question #2
Urea is produced by the reaction of ammonia with:
A. Phosphoric acid
B. Carbon dioxide
C. Nitric acid
D. Sulfuric acid

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Urea is synthesized by reacting ammonia and carbon dioxide under high pressure and temperature: 2NH₃ + CO₂ → NH₂COONH₄ (ammonium carbamate) → (NH₂)₂CO + H₂O. This is the Bosch-Meiser urea process. It is the most concentrated solid nitrogenous fertilizer. Urea is also used in animal feed, plastics, and pharmaceuticals.
