Urea is a fertilizer that provides: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Urea is a fertilizer that provides:
A. Nitrogen and phosphorus
B. Only potassium
C. Only nitrogen
D. Only phosphorus
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Urea, CO(NH₂)₂, is a straight nitrogenous fertilizer with about 46% N. It contains no phosphorus or potassium. It is converted to ammonium carbonate in soil by urease enzyme, then to nitrates.

Question #1
A gas occupies 2.0 L at 1.0 atm. If pressure is increased to 4.0 atm at constant temperature, the volume will be:
A. 8.0 L
B. 0.5 L
C. 2.0 L
D. 1.0 L

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Boyle's law: P₁V₁ = P₂V₂. Given P₁=1.0 atm, V₁=2.0 L, P₂=4.0 atm. V₂ = (1.0 × 2.0) / 4.0 = 0.5 L. Volume decreases as pressure increases, because gas is compressible. The product PV is constant for a fixed mass of gas at constant T. Scuba divers experience this; as they dive deeper, pressure increases, reducing air volume in lungs.

Question #2
Radioactive isotope used in dating ancient objects is:
A. Carbon-14
B. Cobalt-60
C. Uranium-235
D. Iodine-131

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Carbon-14 dating is used to determine age of organic materials up to ~50,000 years based on its half-life of 5730 years. Cobalt-60 for cancer therapy, iodine-131 for thyroid, uranium-235 for nuclear fuel.

Question #3
The process of converting one element into another by bombarding it with high-energy particles is called:
A. Radioactive decay
B. Nuclear fusion
C. Nuclear fission
D. Artificial transmutation

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Artificial transmutation is the conversion of a chemical element or an isotope into another through a nuclear reaction induced by bombarding it with high-energy particles (like alpha particles, protons, or neutrons). This was first achieved by Rutherford in 1919 when he converted nitrogen into oxygen.
