Q:

Which of the following is not an intensive property?

A) Weight B) Density
C) Refractive index D) Melting point
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Weight

Explanation:

An intensive property is a physical quantity whose value does not depend on the amount of the substance for which it is measured. For example, the temperature of a system in thermal equilibrium is the same as the temperature of any part of it. If the system is divided the temperature of each subsystem is identical. The same applies to the density of a homogeneous system, if the system is divided in half, the mass and the volume change in the identical ratio and the density remains unchanged. Additionally, the boiling point of a substance is another example of an intensive property. For example, the boiling point for water is 100 °C at a pressure of one atmosphere, a fact which remains true regardless of quantity.

Q:

Which of the following is a secondary air pollutant?

A) Acid rain B) SO2
C) CO2 D) Dust particles
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Acid rain

Explanation:

Secondary pollutants include ozone, which is formed when hydrocarbons (HC) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) combine in the presence of sunlight.

 

Whereas Primary pollutant are those pollutants that are directly emitted from their sources, like CO2, CO, SO2 as these gases are directly emitted form burning of fossil fuels.

 

Acid rain, which is formed when sulfur dioxide or nitrogen oxides react with water, sulfuric acid etc.

 

Hence, Acidrain is a secondary air pollutant.

Q:

Which phase change is an example of an exothermic process?

A) Liquid to Solid B) Gas to Solid
C) Gas to Liquid D) All the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) All the above

Explanation:

Processes that require or give off heat will be limited to changes of state, known as phase changes, and changes in chemical constitution, or chemical reactions. Changes of state involve a solid melting, a liquid freezing, a liquid boiling or a gas condensing.

 

An exothermic process is one that gives off heat, which is transferred to the surroundings. An endothermic process is a reaction which heat has to be supplied to the system from the surroundings.

 

Here in all the given options, heat is taken away from them to change there phase. 

Liquid to Solid --- Freezing

Gas to Liquid --- Condensation

Gas to Solid --- Deposition 

are all examples of exothermic processes.
