    How does electroplating prevent corrosion of an item

    • It changes the colour of the object

    • It modifies the chemical composition of the object

    • It removes the outer layer of the object

    • It plates an object with another material that will not corrode

    Correct Answer
    A. It plates an object with another material that will not corrode
    Explanation
    Electroplating prevents corrosion of an item by covering it with a layer of another material that is resistant to corrosion. This additional layer acts as a barrier between the item and the external environment, preventing any corrosive substances from coming into contact with the item's surface. By doing so, the electroplating process helps to protect the item from rust, oxidation, and other forms of corrosion, thereby increasing its lifespan and maintaining its appearance.

    What is a galvanic cell?

    • Is an electrochemical cell that derives electrical energy from chemical reactions

    • A setup that galvanizes chemical reactions

    • Decreases the resistance of a resistor

    • Increases the voltage of a battery

    Correct Answer
    A. Is an electrochemical cell that derives electrical energy from chemical reactions
    Explanation
    A galvanic cell is an electrochemical cell that derives electrical energy from chemical reactions. This type of cell consists of two half-cells, each containing an electrode and an electrolyte solution. The chemical reactions occurring at the electrodes produce a flow of electrons, which can be harnessed as electrical energy. The galvanic cell is commonly used in batteries and fuel cells to provide power for various devices and systems.

    What is the essential component of a biodiesel

    • Consists of long-chain alkyl esters

    • Must be smelly

    • Consists of vegetable parts

    • Produces more energy than normal fuels

    Correct Answer
    A. Consists of long-chain alkyl esters
    Explanation
    Biodiesel is a type of fuel that is made from renewable sources such as vegetable oils or animal fats. The essential component of biodiesel is long-chain alkyl esters, which are formed through a chemical process called transesterification. These esters have similar properties to petroleum diesel, making biodiesel a suitable alternative fuel. The statement "Consists of long-chain alkyl esters" correctly identifies the essential component of biodiesel.

    Which of the following is a possible element for an inert electrode

    • Gold

    • Silver

    • Graphite

    • Copper

    Correct Answer
    A. Graphite
    Explanation
    Graphite is a possible element for an inert electrode because it is chemically stable and does not react with the substances present in the electrolyte. Inert electrodes are used in electrolytic cells to conduct electricity and facilitate the transfer of electrons during the electrolysis process. Gold, silver, and copper are not considered inert electrodes as they can react with the electrolyte or the substances being electrolyzed, leading to unwanted side reactions and affecting the accuracy of the electrolysis process.

    Which is a possible source of biodiesel

    • Peanuts

    • Fried Chicken

    • Bamboo

    • Plastic

    Correct Answer
    A. Peanuts
    Explanation
    Peanuts are a possible source of biodiesel because they contain high levels of oil, which can be extracted and converted into biodiesel through a process called transesterification. Biodiesel is a renewable and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional diesel fuel, and using peanuts as a source helps reduce dependence on fossil fuels and decreases greenhouse gas emissions.

    How long does it take for biodiesel to biodegrade

    • 2 hours

    • 300 years

    • 2 weeks

    • One million years

    Correct Answer
    A. 2 weeks
    Explanation
    Biodiesel is a renewable fuel made from vegetable oils or animal fats. It is designed to biodegrade relatively quickly compared to fossil fuels. The correct answer, 2 weeks, suggests that biodiesel takes a relatively short amount of time to break down naturally in the environment. This is due to its composition, which allows it to be broken down by microorganisms. Biodiesel's biodegradability is an important factor in its environmental impact and sustainability.

    Which ion of the following elements would be preferentially discharged over H+ ions

    • Sodium

    • Potassium

    • Lead

    • Silver

    Correct Answer
    A. Silver
    Explanation
    Silver would be preferentially discharged over H+ ions because it has a lower reduction potential than hydrogen. In other words, silver has a greater tendency to gain electrons and be reduced compared to hydrogen. Therefore, in a redox reaction, silver ions would be reduced to silver metal while H+ ions would remain in their oxidized state. This preference for silver over hydrogen is due to the difference in their reduction potentials.
