During electroplating of an iron spoon with silver, the anode is: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

During electroplating of an iron spoon with silver, the anode is:
A. Graphite
B. Platinum
C. Iron spoon
D. Silver rod
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
The silver rod dissolves (Ag → Ag⁺ + e⁻) at the anode, replenishing Ag⁺ in the electrolyte, which deposits on the iron spoon (cathode). Iron spoon remains intact.

Question #1
CNG is considered a cleaner fuel than diesel because:
A. It produces less CO₂ and negligible particulate matter
B. It is a liquid
C. It contains more carbon
D. It is more expensive

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
CNG (mainly methane) has a higher H/C ratio than diesel, so it emits less CO₂ per unit energy. It burns almost completely, producing very little carbon monoxide, unburnt hydrocarbons, and particulate matter (soot). It also contains negligible sulfur, thus no SO₂ emissions.

Question #2
The disinfectant used in municipal water supply that provides residual protection is:
A. UV radiation
B. Ozone
C. Boiling
D. Chlorine

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Chlorine leaves a residual in water, continuing to protect against recontamination in distribution pipes. Ozone and UV kill instantly but do not provide residual disinfection. Boiling is not used for municipal supply.

Question #3
Enzymes are specific in action because:
A. They are proteins
B. They are biocatalysts
C. They are sensitive to pH
D. Their active site has a specific shape fitting the substrate

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
The 'lock-and-key' model explains enzyme specificity: the substrate fits into the active site like a key in a lock. Protein nature is general; specificity arises from 3D structure.
