Galvanization protects iron by: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Galvanization protects iron by:
A. Making iron more reactive
B. Providing a barrier only
C. Sacrificial protection by a more reactive metal
D. Forming an alloy
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Zinc coating (galvanizing) provides both barrier and sacrificial protection. Even if scratched, zinc corrodes instead of iron because it is more reactive.

Question #1
John Dalton's atomic theory helped explain:
A. Wave nature of electron
B. Quantum theory
C. Law of multiple proportions
D. Discovery of radioactivity

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Dalton's atomic theory (1808) provided a framework for the laws of chemical combination—conservation of mass, constant composition, and multiple proportions. The law of multiple proportions states that when two elements form more than one compound, masses of one that combine with fixed mass of the other are in small whole number ratios. Dalton proposed atoms combine in simple whole number ratios to form compounds.

Question #2
The ideal gas equation PV = nRT can be derived by combining which three laws?
A. Boyle's, Charles', and Avogadro's law
B. Boyle's, Graham's, and Dalton's law
C. Charles', Graham's, and Gay-Lussac's law
D. Avogadro's, Dalton's, and Boyle's law

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Ideal gas equation: PV = nRT is obtained by combining Boyle's law (PV = constant at T,n), Charles' law (V ∝ T at P,n), and Avogadro's law (V ∝ n at P,T). Graham's law deals with diffusion, Dalton's with partial pressures. The constant R is the universal gas constant. For 1 mole, PV = RT. Real gases deviate at high pressure and low temperature.

Question #3
Which of the following is a chemical property of matter?
A. Density
B. Flammability
C. Melting point
D. Boiling point

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Flammability describes how a substance reacts with oxygen to burn, which is a chemical change. Boiling point, density, and melting point are physical properties because they can be observed without changing the chemical identity of the substance. Chemical properties are only observed during a chemical reaction.
