Green manure is obtained from:
A. Decomposed plant material
B. Chemical synthesis
C. Fungal cultures
D. Animal waste
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Green manure refers to crops (like sunn hemp or dhaincha) that are grown specifically to be plowed back into the soil while they are still green. This decomposing plant material enriches the soil with organic matter, nitrogen, and other nutrients, improving soil structure and fertility.

Question #1
Which catalyst is used in the decomposition of H₂O₂ in laboratory preparation of oxygen?
A. Fe
B. V₂O₅
C. MnO₂
D. Pt

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Manganese dioxide (MnO₂) catalyzes H₂O₂ decomposition: 2H₂O₂ → 2H₂O + O₂. Finely divided MnO₂ is added. Other catalysts include catalase enzyme.

Question #2
Which of the following statements about matter is correct?
A. Matter cannot change its state.
B. Gases do not have mass.
C. Matter is always visible to the naked eye.
D. All matter is composed of particles.

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
All matter is composed of tiny particles (atoms, molecules, or ions). This is a fundamental concept. Matter may not always be visible (e.g., air). It can change states (solid, liquid, gas). Gases have mass; for example, a filled gas cylinder weighs more than an empty one. The particulate nature of matter explains diffusion, Brownian motion, etc.

Question #3
Chlorine used in water purification acts by:
A. Dissolving salts
B. Adding flavor
C. Removing suspended particles
D. Killing microorganisms by oxidation

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Chlorine forms hypochlorous acid (HOCl) which is a strong oxidizing agent that destroys bacteria and viruses. It does not remove particles (filtration does) or dissolved salts.
