Question #1
The metal that does not react with dilute hydrochloric acid to produce hydrogen is:
A. Al
B. Mg
C. Fe
D. Ag

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Silver (Ag) is a noble metal below hydrogen in the reactivity series and does not displace H₂ from dilute acids. Mg, Al, Fe are above H and react: Mg + 2HCl → MgCl₂ + H₂. However, Al reacts slowly initially due to oxide layer. Copper also doesn't react. The reactivity series determines acid reactivity.

Question #2
The critical temperature of a gas is the temperature:
A. At which it solidifies.
B. Below which it cannot be liquefied by pressure alone.
C. Above which it cannot be liquefied by pressure alone.
D. At which its volume becomes zero.

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
The critical temperature (Tc) is the temperature above which a gas cannot be liquefied, regardless of how much pressure is applied. Above Tc, the kinetic energy of the molecules is too high for intermolecular forces to hold them together in a liquid state, even under extreme pressure.

Question #3
The calorific value of hydrogen is about:
A. 1000 kJ/g
B. 50 kJ/g
C. 30 kJ/g
D. 150 kJ/g

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Hydrogen has a very high calorific value of about 141.9 kJ/g (higher heating value) or ~150 kJ/g approximate. This makes it an excellent fuel, though storage is challenging. Methane ~55 kJ/g, petrol ~47 kJ/g. Hydrogen fuel cells use it efficiently.
