From which ore is iron extracted?

  1. Siderite

  2. Iron pyrite

  3. Magnesite

  4. Magnetite

  5. -


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Magnetite is one of the most common iron minerals and an important ore of iron.

Which is the purest form of iron?

  1. Cast iron

  2. Pig iron

  3. Wrought iron

  4. Steel

  5. -


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

It usually contains less than 0.1 percent carbon and 1 or 2 percent slag. So, it is the purest form of iron.

Which substance will reduce acidified potassium dichromate solution?

  1. Potash alum

  2. Mohr's salt

  3. Blue vitriol

  4. White vitriol

  5. -


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

It reduces acidified potassium dichromate solution to a green-coloured chromic salt.

What kind of salt is Mohr's salt?

  1. Normal salt

  2. Double salt

  3. Basic salt

  4. Acidic salt

  5. -


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Double salts are salts containing more than one cation or anion and are obtained by combination of two different salts which are crystallised in the same regular ionic lattice. For example: Mohr's salt.

  2. (NH4)2 .SO4.FeSO4.6H2O

  3. KCl MgCl2.6H2O

  4. KNO3

  5. -


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

It is Mohr's salt.

Apart from iron, stainless steel is made up of

  1. zinc

  2. aluminium

  3. chromium

  4. copper

  5. aluminium and copper


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

Stainless steel is made up of iron, aluminium and copper.

What purpose does nitriding of steel serve?

  1. Hardening the surface of steel

  2. Hardening the steel

  3. Softening the steel

  4. Softening the surface of steel

  5. -


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Nitriding is a heat treating process that diffuses nitrogen into the surface of a metal to create a case hardened surface.

Which of the following substances is called Fool's gold?

  1. PbI2

  2. CdS

  3. FeS2

  4. As2S3

  5. -


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

It is called Fool's gold (iron pyrite).

If a piece of iron is dipped in conc. nitric acid, the iron becomes

  1. more active

  2. chemically inert

  3. soft

  4. It remains as it is

  5. -


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Iron loses its activity when dipped in conc. nitric acid and becomes chemically inert.

Acidified KMnO4 is decolourised by

  1. bleaching powder

  2. white vitriol

  3. Mohr's salt

  4. laughing gas

  5. -


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

It decolourises KMnO4.

Where does the high temperature remain in the blast furnace?

  1. Reduction zone

  2. Slag zone

  3. Combustion zone

  4. Fusion zone

  5. -


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The temperature here is 1500 - 1600 degree celsius.

For what purpose is limestone used in the extraction of iron from haematite?

  1. As gangue

  2. As slag

  3. As reducing agent

  4. As flux

  5. -


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The limestone is added to convert rocky material into slag which melts and runs to the bottom. The heat of the furnace decomposes the limestone to give calcium oxide. Thus, it is used as a flux.

If a red hot steel iron rod is immersed in water, steel becomes

  1. soft and malleable

  2. hard and brittle

  3. tough and ductile

  4. fibrous

  5. -


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Steel iron rod becomes hard and brittle on immersing in water.

How many unpaired electrons are present in Fe2+?

  1. 0

  2. 4

  3. 3

  4. 2

  5. -


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Electron configuration of Fe: [Ar] 3d6 4s2. If 2 electrons are removed then number of electrons left would be 6 and thus, there would be 4 unpaired electrons.
