Although the terms colloid and emulsion are sometimes used interchangeably, emulsion should be used when both the dispersed and the continuous phase are liquids. In an emulsion, one liquid (the dispersed phase) is dispersed in the other (the continuous phase). Examples of emulsions include vinaigrettes, milk, mayonnaise, and some cutting fluids for metal working.

[16] German silver, an alloy, does not contain the metal –
A.
Nickel
B.
Zinc
C.
Copper
D.
Silver
Ans:
Silver
Explanation :
Nickel silver is a copper alloy with nickel and often zinc. The usual formulation is 60% copper, 20% nickel and 20% zinc. Nickel silver is named for its silvery appearance, but it contains no elemental silv er unless plated. The name “German silver” refers to its development by 19th-century German metalworkers in imitation of the Chinese alloy known as paktong (Cupronickel) All modern, commercially important nickel silvers (such as those standardized under ASTM B122) contain significant amounts of zinc, and are sometimes considered a subset of brass. Nickel silver first became popular as a base metal for silver- plated cutlery and other silverware, notably the electroplated wares called EPNS (electro-plated nickel silver). It is used in zippers, better-quality keys, costume jewellery.
[17] Oxygen which is vital for life is a product of photosynthesis and comes from –
A.
carbonates from soil
B.
carbon dioxide
C.
water
D.
oxides of mineral elements
Ans:
water
Explanation :
The unusually high concentration of oxygen has on Earth is the result of the oxygen cycle. This biogeochemical cycle describes the movement of oxygen within and between its three main reservoirs on Earth: the atmosphere, the biosphere, and the lithosphere. The main driving factor of the oxygen cycle is photosynthesis, which is responsible for modern Earth's atmosphere. Photosynthesis releases oxygen into the atmosphere, while respiration and decay remove it from the atmosphere.

[25] The element used in the manufacture of safety matches is –
A.
Phosphorous
B.
Magnesium
C.
Silicon
D.
Sulphur
Ans:
Phosphorous
Explanation :
One end of a match is coated with a material that can be ignited by frictional heat generated by striking the match against a suitable surface. The coated end of a match, known as the match "head," contains either phosphorus or phosphorus sesquisulfide as the active ingredient and gelatin as a binder.
Explanation :
Biogas or Lobar gas is produced by the anaerobic digestion or fermentation of biodegradable materials such as biomass, manure, sewage, municipal waste, green waste, plant material, and crops. It comprises primarily methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) and may have small amounts of hydrogen sulphide (H2S), moisture and siloxanes.
[20] The chief constituent of vinegar is –
A.
Formic acid
B.
Acetic acid
C.
Salycylic acid
D.
Oxalic acid
Ans:
Acetic acid
Explanation :
Vinegar is a liquid substance consisting mainly of acetic acid (CH3CO2H) and water, the acetic acid being produced through the fermentation of ethanol by acetic acid bacteria. It is today mainly used in the kitchen as a general cooking ingredient, but historically, as the most easily available mild acid, it had a great variety of industrial, medical, and domestic uses.
[21] Commercial Vaseline is derived from -
A.
plant gums
B.
coal tar
C.
wool wax
D.
petroleum
Ans:
petroleum
Explanation :
Vaseline is a brand of petroleum jelly based products owned by Anglo-Dutch Company Unilever. While Vaseline can be used as a lubricant, it is also a useful moisture insulator for local skin conditions characterized by tissue dehydration. Vaseline helps protect minor cuts and burns.
[22] Colour imparted to the Bunsen flame by strontium salt is -
A.
bluish green
B.
apple-green
C.
brick red
D.
crimson red
Ans:
crimson red
Explanation :
A flame test is performed by introducing a sample into the blue flame of a Bunsen burner and noting any change in the colour of the flame. The tests can be used to detect the presence of some metallic elements in salts. With strontium salt, the colour of Bunsen flame ranges from crimson to red.
[23] Name the particle that is most essential to continue the chain reaction during the fission of uranium -
A.
Electron
B.
Proton
C.
Neutron
D.
Positron
Ans:
Neutron
Explanation :
Nuclear fission is either a nuclear reaction or a radioactive decay process in which the nucleus of an atom splits into smaller parts (lighter nuclei), often producing free neutrons and photons (in the form of gamma rays), and releasing a very large amount of energy, even by the energetic standards of radioactive decay. Fission as encountered in the modern world is usually a deliberately produced man- made nuclear reaction induced by a neutron.
[24] Which one amongst the following is not a Green House gas?
