Question #1
Which alloy is composed of iron, nickel, and chromium and is known for its resistance to corrosion?
A. Stainless steel
B. Bronze
C. Brass
D. Solder

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Stainless steel is an alloy of iron with chromium (minimum 10.5%), often nickel, and sometimes molybdenum. Chromium forms a passive oxide layer (Cr₂O₃) that prevents rusting. Brass is Cu + Zn. Bronze is Cu + Sn. Solder is Pb + Sn. Stainless steel is used in kitchen utensils, surgical instruments, and architecture. The most common type is 304 stainless (18% Cr, 8% Ni).

Question #2
Which of the following statements is correct regarding the Tyndall effect?
A. It requires the particle size to be larger than the wavelength of light.
B. It is independent of the wavelength of light used.
C. It is shown by true solutions.
D. It occurs due to scattering of light by colloidal particles.

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
The Tyndall effect is the scattering of a beam of light by a medium containing small suspended particles (like colloids). The particle size must be comparable to or smaller than the wavelength of light. True solutions do not show this effect because their particles are too small to scatter light effectively.
