A. Ethanol
B. Methanol
C. Ethylene glycol
D. Glycerol

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Ethylene glycol (1,2-ethanediol) is the main component of antifreeze, lowering the freezing point of water. Methanol is toxic, ethanol can be used but evaporates, glycerol is viscous. Ethylene glycol is poisonous if ingested. Propylene glycol is a safer alternative.

Question #3
Which of the following metals does NOT react with dilute acids to produce hydrogen?
A. Magnesium
B. Copper
C. Iron
D. Zinc

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Copper is below hydrogen in the reactivity series, so it cannot displace hydrogen from dilute acids (non-oxidizing acids like HCl or H₂SO₄). Magnesium, zinc, and iron are above hydrogen and react to produce H₂ gas. However, copper reacts with oxidizing acids like HNO₃ and hot conc. H₂SO₄, but not to produce H₂—they produce NO₂/SO₂.
