Question #1
Which of the following is a strong acid?
A. Carbonic acid
B. Hydrochloric acid
C. Citric acid
D. Acetic acid

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is a strong acid because it completely dissociates into H⁺ and Cl⁻ ions in aqueous solution. Acetic, citric, and carbonic acids are weak acids as they only partially dissociate in water, establishing an equilibrium between the unionized molecules and their ions.

Question #2
Soap molecules form micelles in water. The hydrophilic part is:
A. The entire molecule
B. The carboxylate head
C. The hydrocarbon tail
D. The potassium ion

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
The head (–COO⁻) is ionic and attracted to water (hydrophilic). The long hydrocarbon tail is non-polar and hydrophobic, dissolving in grease. This amphiphilic nature allows cleaning.

Question #3
The bond in nitrogen molecule (N₂) is:
A. Double bond
B. Ionic bond
C. Single bond
D. Triple bond

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
N₂ has a triple bond (N≡N), consisting of one sigma and two pi bonds. This is the strongest type of covalent bond, giving N₂ high stability and low reactivity. Bond order is 3. The molecule is diatomic and nonpolar.
