Which of the following is an example of a gel? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Which of the following is an example of a gel?
A. Smoke
B. Milk
C. Fog
D. Cheese
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
A gel is a type of colloid where the dispersed phase is a liquid and the dispersed medium is a solid. Cheese, butter, and jellies are classic examples of gels. Milk is an emulsion (liquid in liquid), while fog and smoke are aerosols.

Question #1
Which of the following species is isoelectronic with CO?
A. NO
B. N2
C. O2
D. CO2

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Isoelectronic species have the same total number of electrons. Carbon monoxide (CO) has 6 (from C) + 8 (from O) = 14 electrons. Nitrogen molecule (N2) has 7 + 7 = 14 electrons. Therefore, N2 is isoelectronic with CO. O2 has 16, CO2 has 22, and NO has 15 electrons.

Question #2
Which of the following is an example of a redox reaction?
A. CaO + H₂O → Ca(OH)₂
B. NaCl + AgNO₃ → AgCl + NaNO₃
C. Zn + 2HCl → ZnCl₂ + H₂
D. NH₃ + HCl → NH₄Cl

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
In Zn + 2HCl, Zn is oxidized (0 to +2) and H⁺ is reduced (+1 to 0). So it is a redox reaction. The other reactions are double displacement (A), combination without oxidation state change (B, D). Redox requires change in oxidation states.

Question #3
A gas at STP occupies 22.4 L. If pressure is doubled and temperature is doubled, the volume becomes:
A. 5.6 L
B. 44.8 L
C. 11.2 L
D. 22.4 L

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Combined gas law: P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂. Given P₂ = 2P₁, T₂ = 2T₁. So V₂ = V₁ × (P₁/P₂) × (T₂/T₁) = 22.4 × (1/2) × (2/1) = 22.4 L. Pressure increase tries to halve volume, temperature increase tries to double volume; they cancel out. So volume remains unchanged. This assumes ideal behavior.
