Q5. In the preparation of oxygen by heating KClO₃ in the presence of MnO₂, only moderate heat is needed because the catalyst acts by
Alowering the pressure of the reaction
Bincreasing the surface area of the reaction
Cincreasing the rate of the reaction
Dincreasing the energy barrier of the reaction
Correct Answer: C
MnO₂ acts as a catalyst in the decomposition of KClO₃: 2KClO₃ → 2KCl + 3O₂. A catalyst increases the rate of the reaction by providing an alternative reaction pathway with a lower activation energy. This means only moderate heat is required — the reaction proceeds faster at a lower temperature than without the catalyst.

Q8. A bullet of mass 20 g travelling horizontally at 100 m/s embeds itself in a 1 kg block of wood suspended by a 1 m string. Calculate the velocity of the combined system.
A0.51 m/s
B1.96 m/s
C2.02 m/s
D0.20 m/s
Correct Answer: D
Using conservation of momentum: (0.02 × 100) = (0.02 + 1) × v. Solving, v = 2 / 1.02 ≈ 0.20 m/s.

Q14. Find the equation of the line through (3, -2) perpendicular to y = 2x + 1.
Ay = -1/2x - 1/2
By = 2x - 8
Cy = -1/2x + 1/2
Dy = 2x + 4
Correct Answer: A
Slope of y = 2x + 1 is 2. Perpendicular slope = -1/2. Equation: y - (-2) = (-1/2)(x - 3), y + 2 = -x/2 + 3/2, y = -x/2 - 1/2.
