Which of the following is a primary battery? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Which of the following is a primary battery?
A. Dry cell
B. Lead-acid battery
C. Lithium-ion battery
D. Nickel-Cadmium battery
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Primary batteries are non-rechargeable; the chemical reaction that produces electricity cannot be reversed. The common dry cell (zinc-carbon battery) and alkaline batteries are primary cells. Lead-acid, Ni-Cd, and Li-ion are secondary (rechargeable) batteries where the reaction can be reversed by applying an external current.

Question #1
Consider the following statements: 1. Chromatography separates components based on differential adsorption. 2. The component that is more strongly adsorbed moves faster. Which statement(s) is/are correct?
A. 2 only
B. Neither 1 nor 2
C. 1 only
D. Both 1 and 2

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Chromatography is an advanced technique used to separate mixtures based on the differential adsorption of components onto a stationary phase. The component that is more strongly adsorbed to the stationary phase moves slower, not faster. Therefore, only statement 1 is correct, making option A the right choice.

Question #2
Which method is used to obtain completely demineralized water?
A. Ion-exchange process
B. Distillation
C. Filtration
D. Sedimentation

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
The ion-exchange process (using cation and anion exchange resins) removes all dissolved cations and anions from water, producing completely demineralized (deionized) water. Distillation removes most impurities but may still contain trace dissolved gases or volatile organics.

Question #3
Teflon is chemically inert because of:
A. Its layered structure
B. Presence of strong C-F bonds
C. Presence of double bonds
D. Its ionic nature

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
The carbon-fluorine bond is one of the strongest covalent bonds, making PTFE resistant to attack by chemicals and heat. The fluorine atoms also shield the carbon backbone.
