Which of the following is a mixed fertilizer? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Which of the following is a mixed fertilizer?
A. Superphosphate
B. Urea
C. NPK
D. Ammonium sulfate
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
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.

Question #1
Which of the following is an example of a homogeneous catalyst?
A. Iron in Haber's process
B. Sulphuric acid in esterification
C. Nickel in hydrogenation of oils
D. Platinum in Ostwald's process

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
A homogeneous catalyst is in the same phase as the reactants. In the esterification of carboxylic acids with alcohols, liquid sulfuric acid (H2SO4) catalyzes the reaction between liquid reactants. Iron, platinum, and nickel are solid catalysts used for gaseous or liquid reactants, making them heterogeneous catalysts.

Question #2
Which of the following is a naturally occurring radioactive element?
A. Aluminum
B. Calcium
C. Uranium
D. Iron

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Uranium (U) is a naturally occurring heavy metal that is radioactive. Its most common isotopes are U-238 and U-235. Aluminum, iron, and calcium are stable, non-radioactive elements under normal conditions, though they may have synthetic radioactive isotopes.

Question #3
Which of the following is the strongest oxidizing agent based on standard reduction potentials?
A. Li+ (E° = -3.05 V)
B. F2 (E° = +2.87 V)
C. Cu2+ (E° = +0.34 V)
D. Zn2+ (E° = -0.76 V)

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
The standard reduction potential (E°) indicates the tendency of a species to gain electrons. A higher positive E° value means a greater tendency to be reduced, making it a stronger oxidizing agent. Fluorine (F2) has the highest standard reduction potential (+2.87 V), making it the strongest oxidizing agent among the choices.
