The disinfection method that leaves no residual effect in water is: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The disinfection method that leaves no residual effect in water is:
A. Bleaching powder
B. Chlorination
C. Chloramine treatment
D. Ozonation
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Ozone decomposes quickly to O₂, leaving no residual disinfectant. Thus a small chlorine dose may be added after ozonation for distribution protection. Chlorine provides residual protection.

Question #1
The atomic radius of elements decreases across a period because:
A. Electron-electron repulsion decreases
B. Nuclear charge increases and electrons are added to the same shell
C. Number of shells increases
D. Atomic mass decreases

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Across a period, the number of electron shells remains the same, but the nuclear charge (protons) increases. The added electrons enter the same valence shell, so the effective nuclear attraction on the electrons increases, pulling them closer and shrinking the atomic radius. Down a group, radius increases due to addition of shells. Electron-electron repulsion alone does not account for the trend. Atomic mass generally increases across a period.

Question #2
Who discovered the nucleus of an atom?
A. Niels Bohr
B. James Chadwick
C. Ernest Rutherford
D. J. J. Thomson

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Ernest Rutherford, through the gold foil experiment in 1911, discovered the dense, positively charged nucleus. Thomson discovered the electron, Bohr proposed quantized orbits, Chadwick discovered the neutron. Rutherford also discovered the proton.

Question #3
Ethanol can be converted to ethanoic acid by:
A. Oxidation
B. Dehydration
C. Fermentation
D. Hydrogenation

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Oxidation of ethanol with acidified K₂Cr₂O₇ or KMnO₄ produces ethanoic acid (CH₃COOH). Dehydration gives ethene; hydrogenation adds H₂; fermentation produces ethanol from sugars.
