A. 14 B. 5 C. 7 D. 0

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: C

A pH of 7 is neutral, below 7 is acidic and above 7 is basic.

Question 7 · General Awareness · General Science

Which gas is mostly used in fire extinguishers?

A. Carbon dioxide B. Oxygen C. Hydrogen D. Nitrogen dioxide

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: A

Carbon dioxide is heavier than air and does not support combustion, so it smothers the fire.

Question 8 · General Awareness · General Science

The rusting of iron is an example of

A. neutralisation B. oxidation C. sublimation D. reduction

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: B

Iron reacts with oxygen and moisture to form hydrated iron(III) oxide.

Mitochondria produce most of the ATP, the energy currency of the cell.

Question 10 · General Awareness · General Science

A deficiency of vitamin C causes

A. rickets B. scurvy C. night blindness D. beriberi

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: B

Vitamin C is needed for making collagen. Rickets is due to vitamin D, beriberi to B1 and night blindness to vitamin A.

Question 11 · General Awareness · General Science

Which blood group is called the universal donor?

A. AB positive B. O negative C. A positive D. B negative

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: B

O negative red cells have no A, B or Rh antigens, so they can be given to almost any recipient.

Question 12 · General Awareness · General Science

Photosynthesis takes place in the

A. chloroplasts B. lysosomes C. vacuoles D. mitochondria

Answer and explanation
