In a Daniel cell, the anode is made of: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

In a Daniel cell, the anode is made of:
A. Zinc
B. Copper
C. Platinum
D. Graphite
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
In a Daniel cell, the anode (where oxidation occurs) is a zinc rod immersed in ZnSO₄ solution. The cathode is a copper rod in CuSO₄ solution. Zinc is more reactive, so it loses electrons (Zn → Zn²⁺ + 2e⁻) and acts as the negative terminal of the cell.

Question #1
The technique used to separate colors in a dye is:
A. Distillation
B. Centrifugation
C. Chromatography
D. Filtration

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Chromatography separates components of a mixture based on differential affinities between a stationary phase and a mobile phase. In paper chromatography, dyes separate due to different rates of movement. Distillation is for liquids, centrifugation for density-based separation, filtration for solids from liquids. Chromatography is used in forensics, drug testing, and food coloring analysis.

Question #2
Glass is a:
A. Crystalline solid
B. Molecular solid
C. Amorphous solid
D. Ionic solid

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Glass is an amorphous (non-crystalline) solid; it lacks a long-range ordered structure. It is sometimes called a supercooled liquid. It softens over a temperature range rather than having a sharp melting point. Quartz (SiO₂) is crystalline.

Question #3
The process of converting a solid directly into vapor without passing through the liquid state is called:
A. Condensation
B. Sublimation
C. Evaporation
D. Distillation

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Sublimation is the direct transition from solid to gas phase. Examples: naphthalene, camphor, iodine, solid CO₂ (dry ice). Evaporation is liquid to gas; condensation is gas to liquid; distillation separates liquid mixtures based on boiling points.
