Calorific value is measured in: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Calorific value is measured in:
A. g/cm³
B. L/mol
C. °C
D. kJ/kg or J/g
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Calorific value is the heat produced by combustion of unit mass, expressed in energy per mass: kJ/kg, J/g, kcal/kg. Higher CV means better fuel. Determined by bomb calorimeter.

Question #1
Bakelite is a polymer of:
A. Phenol and formaldehyde
B. Ethylene
C. Vinyl chloride
D. Tetrafluoroethylene

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Bakelite, the first fully synthetic plastic, is a thermosetting phenol formaldehyde resin. It is formed by a condensation reaction between phenol and formaldehyde. Once molded and heated, it sets permanently and cannot be remelted. It is used for electrical switches, utensil handles, and jewelry.

Question #2
The diffusion of gases is explained by:
A. Avogadro's law
B. Boyle's law
C. Graham's law
D. Charles' law

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Graham's law of diffusion/effusion states that the rate of diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its molar mass. Lighter gases diffuse faster. This law helps in separating isotopes (e.g., ²³⁵U enrichment) and understanding gas behavior. Boyle's and Charles' deal with P-V-T relationships. Avogadro's deals with V and number of moles.

Question #3
Identify the type of reaction: CuSO₄ + Fe → FeSO₄ + Cu.
A. Double displacement
B. Decomposition
C. Displacement
D. Combination

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
This is a single displacement reaction. Iron (Fe) is more reactive than Copper (Cu), so it displaces copper from its aqueous sulfate solution. The blue color of CuSO₄ fades, and a brown deposit of Cu forms. Reactivity series dictates that a more reactive metal displaces a less reactive one.
