The reaction N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃ is an example of: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The reaction N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃ is an example of:
A. Combination reaction
B. Decomposition reaction
C. Displacement reaction
D. Double displacement reaction
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Two or more substances combine to form a single product: N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃. This is a combination (synthesis) reaction. Decomposition involves a single compound breaking down. Displacement: one element displaces another. Double displacement: exchange of ions. The Haber process for ammonia is also a redox and reversible reaction. Combination can be exothermic.

Question #1
The acid used in lead storage batteries is:
A. Nitric acid
B. Phosphoric acid
C. Sulphuric acid
D. Hydrochloric acid

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Lead-acid batteries use dilute H₂SO₄ as electrolyte. The electrodes are Pb and PbO₂. During discharge, both plates form PbSO₄ and the acid concentration decreases. Recharging reverses the reaction.

Question #2
In the electrolysis of acidified water, the gas collected at the cathode is:
A. Oxygen
B. Nitrogen
C. Chlorine
D. Hydrogen

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
During the electrolysis of water, reduction occurs at the cathode (negative electrode), where H⁺ ions gain electrons to form hydrogen gas (2H⁺ + 2e⁻ → H₂). Oxidation occurs at the anode, producing oxygen gas. The volume of H₂ collected is exactly twice that of O₂.

Question #3
Which of the following is an extensive property of matter?
A. Number of moles
B. Boiling point
C. Refractive index
D. Density

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Extensive properties depend on the amount of substance. Number of moles (or mass, volume) is extensive. Density, refractive index, boiling point are intensive properties – they do not depend on the quantity. For example, 1 liter of water boils at 100°C, same as 10 liters. Intensive properties are useful for identifying substances.
