1. In which of the following number all zeros are significant?
a) 0.0005
b) 0.0500
c) 50.000
d) 0.0050

Answer: c
Explanation: If zero is used to locate the decimal point it is considered a significant figure. In 50.000 all zero are significant

2. If law of conservation of mass was to hold true, then 20.8 gm of \[BaCI_{2}\]  on reaction with 9.8 gm of  \[H_{2}SO_{4}\]  will produce 7.3 gm of HCl and  \[BaCI_{4}\]  equal to :
a) 11.65 gm
b) 23.3 gm
c) 25.5 gm
d) 30.6 gm

Answer: b
Explanation:
q72

3. One of the following combination which illustrates the law of reciprocal proportions ?
a) \[N_{2}O_{3},N_{2}O_{4},N_{2}O_{5}\]
b) NaCl, NaBr, NaI
c) \[CS_{2},CO_{2},SO_{2}\]
d) \[PH_{3},P_{2}O_{3},P_{2}O_{5}\]

Answer: c
Explanation: In law of reciprocal proportions, the two elements combining with the third element, must combine with each other in the same ratio or multiple of that Ratio of S and O when combine with C is 2 : 1. Ratio of S and O is SO2 is 1 : 1
