According to Graham's law, the rate of diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

According to Graham's law, the rate of diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its:
A. Temperature
B. Volume
C. Density (or molar mass)
D. Pressure
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Graham's law: r ∝ 1/√M (molar mass). At same T,P, rate inversely proportional to square root of density. Lighter gases diffuse faster. Used in uranium enrichment (UF₆).

Question #1
Ethanol is chemically:
A. C₂H₅OH
B. C₂H₅COOH
C. CH₃COOH
D. CH₃OH

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Ethanol, commonly known as ethyl alcohol, has the chemical formula C₂H₅OH. Methanol is CH₃OH. Acetic acid (ethanoic acid) is CH₃COOH, and propionic acid is C₂H₅COOH. Ethanol is widely used as a solvent, in alcoholic beverages, and as a biofuel.

The half-life of a radioactive isotope is 10 years. What fraction of the original sample will remain after 30 years?
A. 1/8
B. 1/16
C. 1/2
D. 1/4

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
The half-life is the time required for half of the radioactive atoms to decay. After 10 years (1 half-life), 1/2 remains. After 20 years (2 half-lives), 1/4 remains. After 30 years (3 half-lives), the fraction remaining is (1/2)^3 = 1/8. Thus, one-eighth of the original sample will remain.

Question #3
In the refining of copper by electrolytic refining, the anode is:
A. Graphite
B. Impure copper
C. Platinum
D. Pure copper

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
In electrolytic refining of copper, impure copper is used as the anode, a thin sheet of pure copper as the cathode, and CuSO₄ acidified with H₂SO₄ as electrolyte. On passing current, copper dissolves from the anode and pure copper deposits on the cathode. Impurities like gold, silver fall as anode mud. This yields 99.99% pure copper. Similar process for other metals.
