- \(\text{Fe} + \text{CuSO}_4 \rightarrow \text{FeSO}_4 + \text{Cu}\) is an example of a Answer: D. displacement reaction The more reactive iron displaces copper from copper sulphate solution. 1
- The slow destruction of a metal by the action of air, moisture or chemicals around it is called Answer: A. corrosion This is corrosion; rusting of iron is a common example. 1
- \(\text{AgNO}_3 + \text{NaCl} \rightarrow \text{AgCl} + \text{NaNO}_3\) is an example of a Answer: C. double displacement reaction The ions of the two reactants are exchanged, and white AgCl precipitates. This is double displacemen... 1
- When calcium carbonate is heated strongly, the products formed are Answer: B. CaO and CO₂ CaCO₃ xrightarrowΔ CaO + CO₂ . This is a thermal decomposition reaction. 1
- Packets of potato chips are flushed with nitrogen gas to prevent Answer: B. rancidity Nitrogen keeps oxygen away, so the oils and fats in the chips are not oxidised and do not become rancid. 1
- In the reaction \(\text{CuO} + \text{H}_2 \rightarrow \text{Cu} + \text{H}_2\text{O}\), the substance that is oxidised is Answer: D. H₂ Hydrogen gains oxygen to form water, so it is oxidised. CuO loses oxygen and is reduced. 1
- In the balanced equation \(3\text{Fe} + x\,\text{H}_2\text{O} \rightarrow \text{Fe}_3\text{O}_4 + 4\text{H}_2\), the value of \(x\) is Answer: C. 4 Oxygen balance: 4 oxygen atoms in Fe₃O₄ need 4 H₂O ; hydrogen then gives 4H₂ . 1
- Which of the following is an endothermic process? Answer: B. Melting of ice Ice absorbs heat to melt, so it is endothermic. The other three give out heat. 1
- Powdered marble reacts faster with dilute hydrochloric acid than pieces of marble because Answer: B. the powder has a larger surface area Powdering increases the surface area in contact with the acid, which increases the rate of r... 1
- \(\sin^2\theta + \cos^2\theta = \) Answer: D. 1 This is a fundamental trigonometric identity. 1
- \(1 + \tan^2\theta = \) Answer: C. sec²θ Dividing sin²θ + cos²θ = 1 by cos²θ gives tan²θ + 1 = sec²θ . 1
- \(\sin 30° + \cos 60° = \) Answer: A. 1 1/2 + 1/2 = 1 . 1
- If \(\sin\theta = \frac{3}{5}\) and \(\theta\) is acute, then \(\cos\theta = \) Answer: B. 4/5 cosθ = √(1 - 9/25) = √(16/25) = 4/5 . 1
- \((1 - \sin^2\theta)\sec^2\theta = \) Answer: D. 1 (1 - sin²θ)sec²θ = cos²θ × 1/cos²θ = 1 . 1
- If \(\sec\theta = \frac{25}{7}\) and \(\theta\) is acute, then \(\tan\theta = \) Answer: A. 24/7 tan²θ = sec²θ - 1 = 625 - 49/49 = 576/49 , so tanθ = 24/7 . 1
- When an observer looks at an object above the horizontal line through the eye, the angle between the line of vision and the horizontal line is called the Answer: C. angle of elevation Looking up from the horizontal gives an angle of elevation; looking down gives an angle of depression. 1
- From a point on the ground 30 m from the foot of a tower, the angle of elevation of the top of the tower is 60°. The height of the tower is Answer: B. 30√(3) m tan 60° = h/30 ⇒ h = 30√(3) m. 1
- A vertical pole 6 m high casts a shadow \(6\sqrt{3}\) m long. The angle of elevation of the sun is Answer: D. 30° tanθ = 6/6√(3) = 1/√(3) ⇒ θ = 30° . 1
