Question #1
Acid rain can damage buildings made of marble because marble is:
A. Calcium carbonate
B. Aluminium oxide
C. Calcium silicate
D. Magnesium oxide

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Marble is primarily calcium carbonate (CaCO₃). It reacts with acid rain (containing H₂SO₄ and HNO₃) to form soluble salts, causing erosion: CaCO₃ + H₂SO₄ → CaSO₄ + H₂O + CO₂. This is why monuments like Taj Mahal are affected. CaCO₃ is basic, so it neutralizes acid. Restoration and pollution control are needed to protect heritage.

Question #2
The hardness of water that cannot be removed by boiling is called:
A. Softness
B. Alkalinity
C. Permanent hardness
D. Temporary hardness

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Permanent hardness is due to dissolved sulfates and chlorides of calcium and magnesium. Boiling does not remove it. It requires chemical treatment (washing soda, ion exchange) or distillation. Temporary hardness (bicarbonates) is removed by boiling.

Question #3
Who developed the modern periodic table based on atomic numbers?
A. Lothar Meyer
B. Henry Moseley
C. Dmitri Mendeleev
D. John Newlands

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Henry Moseley established that the properties of elements are periodic functions of their atomic numbers, not atomic masses. This refined Mendeleev's table and resolved anomalies like Ar-K. The modern periodic table is thus based on Moseley's work. Mendeleev proposed the original table based on atomic masses. Newlands gave Law of Octaves. Meyer plotted atomic volume curve.
