The catalyst used in the manufacture of ammonia by Haber process is:
A. Ni
B. Fe
C. Pt
D. V₂O₅
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Haber process: N₂ + 3H₂ ⇌ 2NH₃ using finely divided iron catalyst with promoters (K₂O, Al₂O₃). Pt in Ostwald for HNO₃, V₂O₅ in Contact for H₂SO₄, Ni in hydrogenation.

Question #2
The main component of LPG is:
A. Propane
B. Butane
C. Ethane
D. Methane

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) primarily consists of butane (C₄H₁₀) and isobutane, with some propane. For domestic use, it is often a mix of butane and propane. Methane is the main component of CNG and natural gas, which require different storage pressures and infrastructure.

Question #3
Who is credited with the discovery of the atomic nucleus through the gold foil experiment?
A. John Dalton
B. J. J. Thomson
C. Ernest Rutherford
D. James Chadwick

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Ernest Rutherford, in 1911, along with Geiger and Marsden, bombarded a thin gold foil with alpha particles. Most passed through, some were deflected at large angles, leading to the nuclear model of the atom—a small, dense, positively charged nucleus with electrons around it. Thomson's plum pudding model predicted no large deflections. Chadwick discovered neutron.
