A. Salt in water
B. Oil and water
C. Sand in water
D. Iron filings and sulfur
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
A homogeneous mixture has uniform composition throughout. Salt completely dissolves in water, forming a single phase (solution). Oil and water are immiscible (heterogeneous). Sand in water is suspension (heterogeneous). Iron filings and sulfur can be heterogeneous unless alloyed.

Question #1
Which property increases down a group?
A. Atomic radius
B. Ionization energy
C. Electronegativity
D. Electron affinity

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Atomic radius increases down a group due to addition of new shells. Ionization energy, electronegativity, and electron affinity (generally) decrease down a group.

Question #2
Bleaching powder is produced by the action of chlorine on:
A. Quicklime
B. Limestone
C. Slaked lime
D. Gypsum

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Bleaching powder is calcium oxychloride, CaOCl₂, made by passing chlorine gas over dry slaked lime (Ca(OH)₂): Ca(OH)₂ + Cl₂ → CaOCl₂ + H₂O. Quicklime is CaO, limestone is CaCO₃, gypsum is CaSO₄·2H₂O. Bleaching powder is used for bleaching cotton and paper, disinfecting water, and as an oxidizing agent. It releases chlorine on exposure to air or acids.

According to Boyle's law, the product of pressure and volume for a fixed mass of gas at constant temperature is:
A. Constant
B. Variable
C. Depends on gas
D. Zero

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
PV = constant at constant T and n. This is Boyle's law. If either P or V changes, the other changes inversely.
