Steel is made up of :

  1. copper and tin

  2. iron, carbon and chromium

  3. iron, carbon and tin

  4. iron, carbon and silicon


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Iron mixed with carbon to produce steel is the main component of stainless steel. Chromium is added to make it resistant to rust.

Steel is a type of :

Mixture perfectly uniform in its composition and properties throughout its bulk is called :

  1. homogeneous mixture

  2. heterogeneous mixture

  3. both A and B

  4. none of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Mixture perfectly uniform in its composition and properties throughout its bulk is called homogeneous mixture, e.g., solution of alcohol in water, dust free air etc.

Sulphuric acid is added to water. What will you get ?

  1. Element

  2. Mixture

  3. Compound

  4. None of these


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

We will get a homogeneous mixture which will be an aqueous solution of sulphuric acid and water making the acid dilute as no reaction takes place between sulphuric acid and water.

Among the following, bronze is a/an example of :

  1. an element

  2. a mixture

  3. a compounds

  4. all of these


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Bronze is a alloy, it is composed of the mixture of copper and tin. It was made before 3000 bc, though its use in artifacts did not become common until much later. The proportions of copper and tin varied widely (from 67 to 95 percent copper in surviving artifacts).
