Question #1
Enzymes are affected by pH and temperature because they are:
A. Carbohydrates
B. Proteins
C. Nucleic acids
D. Lipids

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Enzymes are proteins with complex three-dimensional structures maintained by hydrogen bonds, ionic bonds, and hydrophobic interactions. Extremes of pH or high temperature disrupt these bonds, causing denaturation (loss of structure and function). Each enzyme has an optimum pH and temperature. For example, pepsin works in acidic stomach, trypsin in alkaline intestine.

Question #2
Which of Faraday's laws of electrolysis states that the mass of substance deposited is directly proportional to the quantity of electricity passed?
A. Third Law
B. Law of Conservation of Mass
C. Second Law
D. First Law

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Faraday's First Law of Electrolysis states that the mass of a substance deposited or liberated at an electrode is directly proportional to the total charge (Q) passed through the electrolyte (m = ZQ, where Z is the electrochemical equivalent). The Second Law relates mass to equivalent weight.

Question #3
Which of the following statements is incorrect regarding metallic bonds?
A. They are highly directional in nature.
B. They explain the malleability and ductility of metals.
C. They involve a sea of delocalized electrons.
D. They are responsible for the high electrical conductivity of metals.

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Metallic bonds are formed by the electrostatic attraction between positive metal ions and a 'sea' of delocalized valence electrons. These bonds are non-directional, which allows the metal ions to slide past one another without breaking the bond, explaining malleability and ductility. Therefore, statement C is incorrect.
