Rubber is made more strong and elastic by the process of: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Rubber is made more strong and elastic by the process of:
A. Fermentation
B. Saponification
C. Hydrogenation
D. Vulcanization
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Vulcanization involves heating natural rubber with sulfur, forming cross-links between polymer chains. This improves elasticity, tensile strength, and resistance to temperature changes. Hydrogenation adds H₂, saponification makes soap, fermentation produces alcohol.

Question #1
The modern periodic table arranges elements in order of increasing:
A. Number of neutrons
B. Atomic number
C. Atomic mass
D. Mass number

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
The modern periodic law, established by Henry Moseley, states that the properties of elements are periodic functions of their atomic numbers. Mendeleev’s original table was based on atomic mass, but the modern version uses atomic number which resolves anomalies like Ar (Z=18, mass 40) and K (Z=19, mass 39).

Question #2
Which of the following is a product of incomplete combustion of hydrocarbon?
A. CO₂
B. NaOH
C. CO
D. H₂O

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Incomplete combustion due to insufficient oxygen produces carbon monoxide (CO) and/or soot (C). Complete combustion gives CO₂ and H₂O. CO is poisonous, binds to hemoglobin.

Question #3
The rusting of iron is accelerated by:
A. Dry air
B. Coating with paint
C. Placing in vacuum
D. Presence of salt in water

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Salt (NaCl) dissolved in water increases the electrical conductivity of the electrolyte, facilitating the electrochemical corrosion process. This is why iron rusts faster in coastal areas and on roads treated with deicing salts. Dry air prevents rusting (needs moisture). Coating with paint blocks oxygen and moisture. Vacuum has no oxygen.
