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? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

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. Both 1 and 2
B. 2 only
C. 1 only
D. Neither 1 nor 2
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
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
The acid used in lead storage batteries is:
A. Nitric acid
B. Phosphoric acid
C. Hydrochloric acid
D. Sulphuric acid

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Lead-acid batteries use dilute H₂SO₄ as electrolyte. The electrodes are Pb and PbO₂. During discharge, both plates form PbSO₄ and the acid concentration decreases. Recharging reverses the reaction.

Question #3
The diagonal relationship in the periodic table is most prominently seen between:
A. All of the above
B. Beryllium and Aluminum
C. Lithium and Magnesium
D. Boron and Silicon

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
The diagonal relationship occurs when elements in the second period resemble elements in the third period of the next group due to similar ionic sizes and charge-to-radius ratios (polarizing power). Li-Mg, Be-Al, and B-Si are all classic examples of this phenomenon.
