Question #1
Water that does not lather easily with soap is called:
A. Hard water
B. Soft water
C. Distilled water
D. Rain water

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Hard water contains dissolved Ca²⁺ and Mg²⁺ ions which react with soap to form insoluble scum, preventing lather. Soft water lathers readily. Distilled water is pure (soft). Rainwater is naturally soft but may dissolve CO₂ and become slightly acidic.

Question #2
An electrochemical cell that converts chemical energy into electrical energy is called:
A. Daniel cell
B. Both B and C
C. Galvanic cell
D. Electrolytic cell

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
A galvanic (or voltaic) cell generates electrical energy from a spontaneous chemical reaction. The Daniel cell is a specific, classic type of galvanic cell using zinc and copper electrodes. An electrolytic cell does the reverse, using electrical energy to drive a non-spontaneous chemical reaction.

Question #3
The process used for the manufacture of ammonia is:
A. Contact process
B. Solvay process
C. Ostwald's process
D. Haber's process

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Ammonia (NH₃) is manufactured by the Haber process, which involves the direct combination of nitrogen and hydrogen gases at high pressure (200 atm) and moderate temperature (450°C) in the presence of an iron catalyst. The Contact process is for sulfuric acid, and Ostwald's is for nitric acid.
