41 - 45 of 45 Questions

# Question Ans
41.

The production of biogas from the fermentation of waste materials is an example of

A. combustion

B. incineration

C. refining

D. recycling

D

42.

The purity of a solid sample can best be determined by its?

A. boiling point

B. melting point

C. conductivity

D. solubility

Detailed Solution

- The presence of impurities in a substance results in a lower melting point due to a process called melting point depression.
- That implies a pure solid has a SHARP melting point which is of the standard value when compared.
43.

Which of the following gases is used to retard the vaporization of the filament in a light bulb?

A. Argon

B. Helium

C. Hydrogen

D. Oxygen

A

44.

The most common process in the extraction of metals from their ore is

A. catalysis

B. electrolysis

C. oxidation

D. reduction

D

45.

The oxide from electric power station is

A. carbon (IV) oxide

B. copper (ll) oxide

C. nitrogen (IV) oxide

D. sulphur (IV) oxide
