Which of the following is a homogeneous mixture? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Which of the following is a homogeneous mixture?
A. Salt in water
B. Oil and water
C. Sand in water
D. Iron filings and sulfur
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
A homogeneous mixture has uniform composition throughout. Salt completely dissolves in water, forming a single phase (solution). Oil and water are immiscible (heterogeneous). Sand in water is suspension (heterogeneous). Iron filings and sulfur can be heterogeneous unless alloyed.

Question #1
Enzymes are biological catalysts that are:
A. Mostly proteins
B. Mostly lipids
C. Mostly carbohydrates
D. Mostly nucleic acids

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Enzymes are complex organic molecules that act as biological catalysts in living organisms. Chemically, most enzymes are globular proteins. They are highly specific to their substrates and work optimally at body temperature and near-neutral pH, unlike many industrial catalysts that require extreme conditions.

Question #2
Boyle's law states that at constant temperature, the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its:
A. Mass
B. Volume
C. Temperature
D. Density

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Boyle's law: PV = constant (at fixed T and n). So P ∝ 1/V. If volume is doubled, pressure halves. Charles' law relates V and T; Graham's law relates diffusion rate to molar mass.

Question #3
The chemical formula of DAP is:
A. NH₄H₂PO₄
B. (NH₄)₂SO₄
C. (NH₄)₃PO₄
D. (NH₄)₂HPO₄

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Diammonium phosphate (DAP) is (NH₄)₂HPO₄. It is produced by reacting ammonia with phosphoric acid: 2NH₃ + H₃PO₄ → (NH₄)₂HPO₄. It contains 18% N and 46% P₂O₅. Monoammonium phosphate (MAP) is NH₄H₂PO₄. Ammonium sulfate is (NH₄)₂SO₄. Triammonium phosphate is unstable. DAP is widely used as a starter fertilizer.
