In electroplating, the metal to be deposited is taken as: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

In electroplating, the metal to be deposited is taken as:
A. Anode
B. Cathode
C. Salt bridge
D. Electrolyte
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
The plating metal (e.g., silver) is the anode which dissolves to supply metal ions. The article to be plated is the cathode. Metal ions reduce on cathode.

Question #1
Plastics are polymers that can be molded when heated. Which of the following is a thermosetting plastic?
A. Bakelite
B. PVC
C. Nylon
D. Polyethylene

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Bakelite is a thermosetting plastic (phenol-formaldehyde resin). Once set, it cannot be remolded by heating because its polymer chains are cross-linked. Polyethylene, PVC, and nylon are thermoplastics—they can be repeatedly softened by heat and hardened on cooling. Thermosetting plastics are used for electrical switches, handles, and adhesives. Vulcanized rubber is also thermoset.

Question #2
A substance has a melting point of -10°C and a boiling point of 50°C. At room temperature (25°C), it exists in which state?
A. Plasma
B. Solid
C. Liquid
D. Gas

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Since the room temperature (25°C) is between its melting point (-10°C) and boiling point (50°C), the substance exists in the liquid state. If the temperature were below -10°C, it would be solid, and above 50°C, it would be gas. This is based on standard phase transition principles.

Question #3
The modern periodic table is based on the:
A. Atomic number of the elements
B. Number of neutrons
C. Atomic mass of the elements
D. Density of the elements

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
The modern periodic law states that the physical and chemical properties of elements are periodic functions of their atomic numbers. This was proposed by Henry Moseley, correcting Mendeleev's periodic table which was based on atomic mass. Atomic number determines the electronic configuration and thus chemical properties.
