Question #1
In an electrochemical cell, the salt bridge provides:
A. Voltage
B. Ionic contact and completes the circuit
C. Electron flow
D. Current

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
The salt bridge (often KCl-agar) allows ion migration to maintain electrical neutrality in half-cells, completing the circuit. It prevents direct mixing of electrolytes.

Question #2
Which gas is evolved when zinc granules react with dilute sulfuric acid?
A. Carbon dioxide
B. Sulfur dioxide
C. Oxygen
D. Hydrogen

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Zn + H₂SO₄ → ZnSO₄ + H₂↑. Hydrogen gas is released, which burns with a pop sound. This is a test for hydrogen. Metals above hydrogen in reactivity series displace it from acids. Dilute H₂SO₄ with Zn produces H₂; with Cu, no reaction.

Question #3
Which of the following compounds has an electrovalent bond?
A. NH₃
B. CaO
C. CH₄
D. CCl₄

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
CaO is an ionic compound: Ca loses 2 electrons to form Ca²⁺, O gains 2 electrons to form O²⁻. CH₄, CCl₄, NH₃ are covalent molecules where electrons are shared. Electrovalent compounds are formed between metals and non-metals with a large electronegativity difference.
