  • 2. 

    In photochemical reactions, absorption of _____ radiations takes place.

    •  ultraviolet and visible

    • Radio

    • Only visible

    • Visible and x-rays

    Correct Answer
    A.  ultraviolet and visible
    Explanation
    In photochemical reactions, absorption of ultraviolet and visible radiations takes place. This is because photochemical reactions involve the absorption of photons, which are particles of light. Ultraviolet and visible radiations have the appropriate energy levels to excite the electrons in molecules and initiate photochemical reactions. Radio and x-rays do not have the appropriate energy levels to cause these reactions.

  • 3. 

     In _____ reactions, molecules absorbing light do not themselves react but induce other molecules to react.

    • Photosensitized

    • Thermal

    • Irreversible

    • Dark

    Correct Answer
    A. Photosensitized
    Explanation
    Photosensitized reactions involve molecules that absorb light and transfer the energy to other molecules, causing them to react. In these reactions, the molecules that absorb light do not undergo a chemical change themselves, but instead, they facilitate the reaction of other molecules. This process is commonly seen in various biological and chemical systems, where light-absorbing molecules, known as photosensitizers, are used to initiate reactions in other molecules.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    . Which of the following are the principle laws of photochemistry?

    • Grothus-Draper and Stark-Einstein law

    • Raoult’s and Dalton’s law

    • Raoult’s and Henry’s law

    • Lambert’s and Beer’s law

    Correct Answer
    A. Grothus-Draper and Stark-Einstein law
    Explanation
    The principle laws of photochemistry are Grothus-Draper and Stark-Einstein law. The Grothus-Draper law states that only light that is absorbed by a molecule can bring about a photochemical reaction. The Stark-Einstein law states that for each photon absorbed, only one molecule is activated to undergo a photochemical reaction. These laws are fundamental in understanding the interaction between light and matter in photochemical processes.

  • 5. 

    Vision is initiated by a photochemical reaction of ______

    • Rhodopsin

    • Hydrogen Chloride

    • Mercapton

    • Enzymes

    Correct Answer
    A. Rhodopsin
    Explanation
    Vision is initiated by a photochemical reaction of rhodopsin. Rhodopsin is a light-sensitive pigment found in the rods of the retina in the eye. When light enters the eye and reaches the rods, it causes a chemical change in the rhodopsin molecules, triggering a series of reactions that ultimately result in the generation of electrical signals that are transmitted to the brain, allowing us to see.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Which of the following is an example of photochemical reaction?

    • Photosynthesis

    • Decomposition of ammonia

    • Formation of NaOH

    • Decomposition of HCl

    Correct Answer
    A. Photosynthesis
    Explanation
    Photosynthesis is an example of a photochemical reaction because it involves the conversion of light energy into chemical energy. In this process, plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to produce glucose and oxygen. The sunlight provides the energy needed to drive the chemical reactions that occur in the chloroplasts of plant cells. This reaction is essential for the survival of plants and is responsible for the production of oxygen in the atmosphere.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Which of the following is not an example of a concerted reaction?

    • Diels-Alder

    • . E2

    • SN1

    • SN2

    Correct Answer
    A. SN1
    Explanation
    The Diels-Alder reaction, E2 reaction, and SN2 reaction are all examples of concerted reactions, where the bond-breaking and bond-forming steps occur simultaneously. However, the SN1 reaction is not a concerted reaction. In an SN1 reaction, the bond-breaking step occurs first, leading to the formation of a carbocation intermediate, followed by the bond-forming step with the nucleophile. Therefore, SN1 is the correct answer as it does not fall under the category of concerted reactions.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Which one do you like?

    • Option 1

    • Option 2

    • Option 3

    • Option 4

    Correct Answer
    A. Option 1
    Explanation
    The given question asks for a preference between four options. The correct answer is Option 1, indicating that the person likes Option 1 the most out of all the given options.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    The reactions which are caused by heat and in absence of light is called _____

    • Photochemical reactions

    • Dark reactions

    • Reversible reaction

    • Reversible photochemical reaction

    Correct Answer
    A. Dark reactions
    Explanation
    Dark reactions are the correct answer because they refer to chemical reactions that occur in the absence of light. These reactions are typically driven by heat or other forms of energy, rather than by light. Dark reactions are an important part of photosynthesis, where they take place in the stroma of chloroplasts and convert carbon dioxide into glucose using the energy stored in ATP and NADPH, which are produced in the light-dependent reactions.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

     Mercaptans can be produced by photochemical addition of ______ to alpha olefins.

    • Hydrogen sulphide

    • Sulphur

    • Hydrogen

    • Paraffins

    Correct Answer
    A. Hydrogen sulphide
    Explanation
    Mercaptans are organic compounds that contain a sulfur atom bonded to a hydrogen atom. In the given question, it is stated that mercaptans can be produced by photochemical addition. This process involves the combination of two substances through a photochemical reaction initiated by light. Among the options provided, hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is the most suitable compound for this reaction as it contains both hydrogen and sulfur, which are necessary for the production of mercaptans. Therefore, hydrogen sulfide is the correct answer.
