    The curve surface at the top of water in the measuring cylinder is called

    • Surface tension

    • Water surface

    • Meniscus

    • Curvature

    Correct Answer
    A. Meniscus
    Explanation
    The curve surface at the top of water in the measuring cylinder is called the meniscus. This is due to the phenomenon of surface tension, which causes the water molecules at the surface to be more attracted to each other than to the air above. As a result, the water forms a curved shape at the top of the cylinder, creating the meniscus.

    The measurement for the thickness of a book is in

    • Cm

    • Mm

    • ML

    • Gm

    Correct Answer
    A. Mm
    Explanation
    The correct answer is mm because millimeters are commonly used to measure small distances, such as the thickness of a book. Centimeters could also be used, but millimeters provide a more precise measurement for this purpose. mL is used to measure volume, and gm is used to measure mass, so they are not appropriate units for measuring the thickness of a book.

    Which is the hottest part of the Bunsen flame?

    • A

    • B

    • C

    • D

    Correct Answer
    A. B
    Explanation
    The hottest part of the Bunsen flame is the blue inner cone, also known as the primary combustion zone. This is because it is in this region where the fuel (gas) and air mix in optimal proportions, resulting in complete combustion and the highest temperature. The outer yellow flame, on the other hand, is cooler as it contains unburned fuel and incomplete combustion products.
