The scientist who proposed the 'plum pudding' model of the atom was:
A. Niels Bohr
B. Ernest Rutherford
C. J. J. Thomson
D. John Dalton
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
J.J. Thomson discovered the electron and proposed the 'plum pudding' model (positive sphere with embedded electrons). Rutherford proposed the nuclear model after the gold foil experiment. Bohr gave quantized orbits. Dalton gave the solid sphere model.

Question #1
The equivalent weight of KMnO4 in an acidic medium is:
A. M/3
B. M/5
C. M/1
D. M/7

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
In an acidic medium, potassium permanganate (KMnO4) is reduced to Mn2+. The oxidation state of Mn changes from +7 to +2, a change of 5. The equivalent weight of an oxidizing agent is its molar mass (M) divided by the number of electrons gained per molecule. Thus, Equivalent weight = M/5.

The chemical formula of plaster of Paris is:
A. CaSO₄·½H₂O
B. CaSO₄
C. CaO
D. CaSO₄·2H₂O

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Plaster of Paris is calcium sulfate hemihydrate, CaSO₄·½H₂O. It is prepared by heating gypsum (CaSO₄·2H₂O) at 373 K. It sets with water to form gypsum.

Question #3
Which method is used to obtain completely demineralized water?
A. Distillation
B. Ion-exchange process
C. Filtration
D. Sedimentation

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
The ion-exchange process (using cation and anion exchange resins) removes all dissolved cations and anions from water, producing completely demineralized (deionized) water. Distillation removes most impurities but may still contain trace dissolved gases or volatile organics.
