Question #1
Two miscible liquids with a boiling point difference of less than 25 K can be separated by:
A. Simple distillation
B. Separating funnel
C. Fractional distillation
D. Crystallization

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Fractional distillation is used when the boiling points differ by less than 25 K. A fractionating column provides repeated condensation–vaporization cycles, improving separation. Example: separation of petrol, kerosene from crude oil. Simple distillation works if difference > 25 K. Separating funnel separates immiscible liquids. Crystallization purifies solids. Exam note: Fractionating column packed with glass beads increases surface area.

Question #2
Boyle's law states that at constant temperature, the pressure of a fixed mass of gas is:
A. Directly proportional to its mass.
B. Inversely proportional to its mass.
C. Inversely proportional to its volume.
D. Directly proportional to its volume.

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Boyle's Law states that for a fixed mass of gas at constant temperature, pressure is inversely proportional to volume (P ∝ 1/V, or PV = constant). As volume decreases, gas molecules hit the container walls more frequently, increasing the pressure exerted by the gas.

Question #3
Ammonia is used in the manufacture of:
A. Glass
B. Fertilizers like urea and ammonium nitrate
C. Cement
D. Soap

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Ammonia reacts with CO₂ to form urea, and with HNO₃ to form ammonium nitrate, both key nitrogenous fertilizers. Glass uses Na₂CO₃; cement uses CaCO₃/clay; soap uses NaOH.
