General science
 Brass gets discoloured in air because of the presence of which of the following gases in air?
Hydrogen sulphide
Actually transition elements are colored elements. Here Zn & Cu are the transition elements
,these composition is the brass. But it gets discolored in air because of presence of
Hydrogen sulphide in the air.It discolored the color of the brass. So it appears as discolored.
Hydrogen sulphide is (sulphur and oh-) so it is base and there is ph value is more than 7 so it
is react with brass presence of air and discoloured the brass
 Which of the following is a non metal that remains liquid at room temperature?
Bromine
The molecules of a liquid are held together by a collection of forces, see reference. Physical
chemistry is the field which would let you calculate how strong those forces are for a
particular molecule, and therefore how much kinetic energy each molecule must have to
break those bonds and move more freely as a gas. For bromine, at 1 atmosphere pressure,
that happens to be 332K, well above room temperature.
 Chlorophyll is a naturally occurring chelate compound in which central metal is
magnesium
In plants green material pigment is chlorophyll, it contains mg for food preparation utilising
sun light.
 Which of the following is used in pencils?
Graphite
As we all know carbon is a black element and the graphite is the softest allotropes of carbon.
If you try. To break a pencil you will find the middle black part (graphite).

Easily breaks it makes impression on light surface it imparts carbon to the surface of paper
therefore graphite is used in pencil.
 The gas usually filled in the electric bulb is
nitrogen
Now nitrogen gas is used in bulbs because when we see in periodic table nitrogen gas is on
7th no. so, it's atomic no. is seven. if we write the electronic configuration of nitrogen we see
that his outer orbital is half filled and it,s more stable than other gases that are given in the
options. this nitrogen gas molecules glow and emit radiations when current passes through
it.
 Washing soda is the common name for
Sodium carbonate
sodium carbonate is the common name for washing soda and sodium bicarbonate is used in making
cakes so it is called "baking soda".
 Quartz crystals normally used in quartz clocks etc. is chemically
silicon dioxide
Quartz is obtained from the pure form of silicon dioxide. Quartz is a compound called silicon dioxide.
When a crystal of quartz is properly cut and mounted, it can be made to vibrate, or oscillate, using
an alternating electric current; each oscillation, in turn, causes a voltage change across the crystal,
which can be detected by a suitable electronic circuit.

The frequency at which the crystal oscillates is dependent on its shape and size, and the positions at
which electrodes are placed on it. If the crystal is accurately shaped and positioned, it will oscillate at
a desired frequency; in clocks and watches, the frequency is usually 32,768 Hz, as a crystal for this
frequency is conveniently small, and as this frequency is a power of two and can easily be counted
using a 15-bit binary digital counter.

A hard glossy mineral consisting of silicon dioxide in crystal form; present in most rocks (especially
sandstone and granite) ; yellow sand is quartz with iron oxide impurities.
 Which of the gas is not known as green house gas?
Hydrogen
Hydrogen is not a green house gas because it have light weight and it does not react that
much as compared to the another.
 The hardest substance available on earth is
Diamond
becousedue to the strong bonding of the carbon elements held together All metals are hard,
and so all not metals are soft - obviously the characteristics of all metals and non metals are
opposite to each other. Since diamond is hard, we cannot say that it is a metal. It is an
exceptional case in non metals. DiDiamonds are considered to b the hardest substance on
earth, diamonds are brilliant & bright. The speed of light in a vacuum is 186, 000miles per
second but light slows down a little when passing through a matter. Diamonds also bends
and reflect light and break it up into the colours of the rainbow, which is what gives them their
sparkle!amond is a hard " non - metal ".
 Tetraethyl lead is used as
petrol additive
Tetraethyl lead is added in petrol (gasoline) because it increases octane number of gasoline
and it will result to reduces antiknocking activity of engine piston.


Which of the following is used as a lubricant?
Graphite
graphite has one free electron. Because in the graphite the covalent bonds are less tightly
bounded so the graphites have smooth surface. So by this reason the graphite are used as
lubricants.

 The inert gas which is substituted for nitrogen in the air used by deep sea divers for
breathing, is
Helium
As deep sea divers are under very high pressure of water, at that pressure oxygen are not
able to dissolve in our blood so helium is used to fulfill the requirement. Helium is used by
sea diver instead of Nitrogen because helium is not react with blood while nitrogen react with
blood this cause pain in human body so helium is used because it cause less pain.
 The gases used in different types of welding would include
oxygen and acetylene
Because oxygen react with acetylene and form oxyacetylene gas and hot temperature which
is very helpful in welding process.
 The property of a substance to absorb moisture from the air on exposure is called
deliquescence
Deliquescent materials are substances (mostly salts)that have strong affinity for moisture
and will absorb relatively large amounts of water from the atmosphere if exposed to it,
forming liquid solution.
 When an iron nail gets rusted, iron oxide is formed
with increase in the weight of the nail
When a iron rusted, it added oxygen to form iron oxide, thus the weight of reacted oxygen is
added in original weight of iron, that's why an small increase in the weight is observed
 Heavy water is
deuterium oxide
Deuterium is an isotope of hydrogen which has atomic mass of 2 units which is twice of the
that of hydrogen atom which has an atomic mass of one unit. Because of this the molecular
mass of deuterium oxide is 20 units, whereas that of normal water is 18 units. Therefore
deuterium oxide is called heavy water.
 Non stick cooking utensils are coated with
Teflon
Teflon is less reactive with food than others. Moreover it is less sticky so food does not
sticks.
 Permanent hardness of water may be removed by the addition of
sodium carbonate
Permanent hardness is due to magnesium or calcium chloride. Therefore by the addition of
sodium carbonate it is removed in the form of sodium chloride.
 Most soluble in water is
sugar
Sugar (C12H22O11) is a polar covalent molecule. When it dissolves in water, the weak
bonds between the carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms are broken. In the process, the
bonds in the water molecules are also broken, and inter molecular bonds between the water
and sugar molecules can then form. This allows up to 1800 grams of sucrose to dissolve in a
mere liter of water.
 Which of the following are the ingredients of gun metal?
Copper, Tin
Gun metals is also called as red brass and the composition present in it are copper 88% tin
10% and zinc 2%.
 What is laughing gas?
Nitrous Oxide
Nitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas, is a chemical compound with the formula
N2O. It is an oxide of nitrogen. At room temperature, it is a colorless non-flammable gas,
with a slightly sweet odor and taste. It is used in surgery and dentistry for its anesthetic and
analgesic effects. It is known as "laughing gas" due to the euphoric effects of inhaling it, a
property that has led to its recreational use as a dissociative anesthetic. It is also used as an
oxidizer in rocketry and in motor racing to increase the power output of engines. At elevated
temperatures, nitrous oxide is a powerful oxidizer similar to molecular oxygen.

 The filament of an electric bulb is made of

tungsten
Filaments in incandescent light bulbs are made of tungsten. When electric current goes
through the filament, the filament glows. It may also be known as the electron emitting
 element in a vacuum tube. To make the bulb produce more light, the filament is usually
made of coils of fine wire, also known as the coiled coil.

In fireworks, the green flame is produced because of
barium
Barium is a silvery-white metal that can be found in the environment, where it exists
naturally. It occurs combined with other chemicals, such as sulfur, carbon or oxygen. Ii is
very light and its density is half that of iron. Barium oxidizes in air, reacts vigoroulsy with
water to form the hydroxide, liberating hydrogen. Barium reacts with almost all the non-
metals, forming often poisouning compounds.


Balloons are filled with

helium
To make balloon lighter, the gas inside should be lighter than air. As nitrogen is available
78% in the air, but it is not lighter. In case of oxygen, it is highly inflammable, so it cannot be used in
balloon as safety precautions. Helium is the lightest gas in the atmosphere.

 Potassium Permanganate is used for purifying drinking water, because

it is an oxidising agent
An oxidizing agent (also called an oxidant, oxidizer or oxidiser) can be defined as a
substance that removes electrons from another reactant in a redox chemical reaction. The
oxidizing agent is "reduced" by taking electrons onto itself and the reactant is "oxidized" by
having its electrons taken away. Oxygen is the prime example of an oxidizing agent, but it is
only one among many.
 The dark lines in the solar spectrum are due to
absorption of corresponding wavelengths by the outer layers of the sun
 Detergents used for cleaning clothes and utensils contain?
sulphonates
Detergent are the ammonium and sulphonates salt of higher fatty acids.

Sulphonates means acid and potassium.

Soap and sodium of heavier fatty acids.

Soap and sodium or potassium salt of heavier fatty acids.

 Which of the following is used for removing air bubbles from glass during its manufacture?
Arsenous oxide
 Optic fibres are mainly used for which of the following?
Communication
In communication technique optic fiber is used to transmit information from place to other, by
using laser as source. Cz its bandwidth is high

 Deep blue colour is imparted to glass by the presence of

cobalt oxide
Glass colour : Cobalt-blue / iron (2) oxide-Green(together with chromium yields a darker
green colour usually used in wine or beer bottles CARLSBERG !!) / metallic gold " rich ruby
coloured glass / copper " very dark red opoque glass / Nickel " purple glass /tin oxide "
opaque white.
Which one of the following is the petroleum wax?
 Paraffin wax
Paraffin wax is obtained from petroleum by dewaxing light lubricating oil stocks. It is used in
candles, wax paper, polishes, cosmetics, and electrical insulators. It assists in extracting
perfumes from flowers, forms a base for medical ointments, and supplies a waterproof
coating for wood. In wood and paper matches, it helps to ignite the matchstick by supplying
an easily vaporized hydrocarbon fuel.
