Chemistry
A. CH2O
B. C2H4O2
C. C3H6O3
D. C6H12O6
Answer: Dividing all subscripts in C6H12O6 by the greatest common divisor 6 gives CH2O.
Chemistry
A. Dissolution of ammonium nitrate in water
B. Burning of natural gas
C. Neutralization of acid and base

Chemistry
A. Law of conservation of mass
B. Law of definite proportions
C. Law of multiple proportions
D. Gay-Lussac\'s law
Answer: The law of conservation of mass states that total mass remains constant during a chemical reaction.
Chemistry
A. -CHO
B. -OH
C. -COOH
D. -CO-
Answer: Aldehydes contain the -CHO (formyl) functional group bonded to at least one hydrogen.
Chemistry
A. Al2O3
B. Na2O
C. SO3
D. CaO
Answer: Al2O3 reacts with both acids and bases, which is the defining property of an amphoteric oxide.
Chemistry
A. Aluminium
B. Iron
C. Copper

Answer: Aluminium is extracted from molten alumina by electrolysis in the Hall-Heroult process.
Chemistry
A. N2O
B. NO
C. NO2
D. N2
Answer: Nitrous oxide (N2O) is called laughing gas because it produces euphoria when inhaled.
Chemistry
A. Red
B. Blue
C. Green
D. Yellow
Answer: Litmus paper turns red in acidic solutions due to the presence of excess H+ ions.
Chemistry
A. Pascal
B. Bar
C. Atmosphere
D. Torr
Answer: The Pascal (Pa) is the SI unit of pressure, equal to one newton per square meter.
Chemistry
A. Neutron
B. Proton
