Graham's law deals with: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Graham's law deals with:
A. Current and time
B. Volume and temperature
C. Rate of diffusion and molar mass
D. Pressure and volume
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Graham's law of effusion/diffusion: Rate ∝ 1/√M (molar mass) at same temperature and pressure. Lighter gases diffuse faster. This is used in isotope separation (e.g., ²³⁵UF₆ vs ²³⁸UF₆) and in understanding gas behavior in leaks.

Question #1
Which of the following sets of quantum numbers is impossible?
A. n=2, l=1, m=-1, s=-1/2
B. n=4, l=3, m=0, s=-1/2
C. n=3, l=2, m=-3, s=+1/2
D. n=1, l=0, m=0, s=+1/2

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
The magnetic quantum number (m) can only take integer values ranging from -l to +l. For n=3, l can be 2 (a d-orbital). If l=2, the possible values for m are -2, -1, 0, +1, +2. The value m=-3 is outside this range, making this set of quantum numbers impossible.

Question #2
Which of the following is an example of a physical change?
A. Rusting of iron
B. Melting of wax
C. Burning of magnesium ribbon
D. Digestion of food

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Melting of wax is a physical change because it involves only a change in state from solid to liquid without altering the chemical composition. The wax remains the same hydrocarbon mixture. In contrast, rusting of iron (Fe₂O₃·xH₂O formation), burning of magnesium (MgO formation), and digestion of food (enzymatic breakdown into simpler molecules) are chemical changes where new substances are formed. Physical changes are reversible, while most chemical changes are irreversible. Exam tip: Remember, changes of state (melting, boiling, condensation) are physical changes unless a chemical reaction accompanies them.

Question #3
The neutron was discovered by:
A. Bohr
B. Rutherford
C. Thomson
D. Chadwick

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
James Chadwick discovered the neutron in 1932. It is a neutral particle with mass almost equal to proton. Its discovery explained isotopes' mass differences.
