Graham's law relates rates of diffusion to: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Graham's law relates rates of diffusion to:
A. Volume
B. Temperature
C. Molar mass
D. Pressure
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Rate ∝ 1/√(molar mass) at constant T and P. Lighter gases diffuse faster. This is Graham's law of diffusion/effusion.

Question #1
Ethanol is produced by fermentation of sugar. The microorganisms used are:
A. Algae
B. Virus
C. Bacteria
D. Yeast

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) enzymes convert glucose to ethanol and CO₂ anaerobically. Bacteria produce lactic acid or acetic acid; algae are photosynthetic.

Question #2
Which of the following is an organic fertilizer?
A. Compost
B. Urea
C. Ammonium nitrate
D. Superphosphate

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Compost is decomposed organic matter (plant waste, manure) and is an organic fertilizer. Urea, though organic compound, is considered a synthetic nitrogenous fertilizer when industrially produced. Organic fertilizers are derived from natural sources: manure, bone meal, compost. They improve soil structure. Ammonium nitrate, superphosphate are inorganic/synthetic. Urea is often categorized as synthetic organic.

Question #3
Rusting of iron is accelerated in:
A. Vacuum
B. Saline water
C. Dry air
D. Pure water without air

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Saline water (containing NaCl) increases the electrical conductivity of the water, accelerating the electrochemical process of rusting. This is why ships and coastal structures rust faster. Dry air and vacuum have no moisture; pure water without dissolved oxygen slows rusting.
