Who proposed the law of constant composition?
A. Dalton
B. Rutherford
C. Lavoisier
D. Proust
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Joseph Proust proposed the law of definite proportions (constant composition) – a given compound always contains the same elements in the same proportion by mass. Dalton's theory explained it. Lavoisier gave law of conservation of mass. Rutherford discovered nucleus.

Question #1
Consider the following statements: 1. NPK fertilizers contain only macronutrients. 2. Zinc and Boron are micronutrients for plants. Which is/are correct?
A. Both 1 and 2
B. 2 only
C. Neither 1 nor 2
D. 1 only

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
NPK fertilizers supply the three primary macronutrients: Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), and Potassium (K). Plants also require trace elements (micronutrients) in very small amounts for proper growth, such as Iron, Manganese, Zinc, Copper, Boron, and Molybdenum. Both statements are factually correct.

Question #2
The process of separating petroleum into petrol, kerosene, diesel etc. is:
A. Fractional distillation
B. Reforming
C. Cracking
D. Polymerisation

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Fractional distillation is the primary separation method in refining. Cracking breaks larger hydrocarbons into smaller ones (gasoline). Reforming alters structure to improve octane rating. Polymerisation combines small molecules. Fractional distillation separates based on boiling points in a fractionating column.

Question #3
Which of the following metals is extracted by electrolytic reduction?
A. Zinc
B. Iron
C. Copper
D. Sodium

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Highly reactive metals like sodium, potassium, calcium, and aluminum cannot be reduced by chemical reducing agents like carbon. They are extracted by the electrolysis of their molten chlorides or oxides. For example, sodium is extracted by the electrolysis of molten NaCl in the Down's cell.
