A Correct answer
Explanation

Both Statement 1 and Statement 2 is correct and Statement 2 is the correct explanation of Statement 1.


A mixture of pure metals is called an alloy. The melting point of an alloy will be lower than either of the component metal because the new bonds are weaker.

Hence, the correct option is A.

Tinned iron sheets are used for making boxes for fruits, oils, vegetables etc.

  1. True

  2. False
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Tinning is the process of thinly coating sheets of wroughtiron or steel with tin, and the resulting product is known as tinplate. While once more widely used, the primary use of tinplate now is the manufacture of tin cans. Formerly, tinplate was used for cheap pots, pans and other holloware. It has an extremely beautiful metallic luster as well as excellent properties in corrosion resistance, solderability, and weldability. 

So it's true.

Tin is used for making fusible alloys.

  1. True

  2. False
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

A fusible alloy is a metal alloy capable of being easily fused, i.e. easily meltable, at relatively low temperatures. The most widely used fusible alloys contain high percentages of bismuth, combined with lead, tin, cadmium, indium and other metals. Bismuth has an impact on the melting point, as well as the growth and shrinkage characteristics of the alloys.

The main component of bronze is:

  1. cobalt

  2. copper

  3. tin

  4. aluminium

B Correct answer
Explanation

Bronze is an alloy consisting primarily of copper, commonly with about 12% tin and often with the addition of other metals (such as aluminium, manganese, nickel or zinc) and sometimes non-metals or metalloids such as arsenic, phosphorus or silicon.

$SiO _2$ (Silica) occurs in the form of:

  1. sand

  2. quartz

  3. opal

  4. all of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Silica also known as silicon dioxide. It is found in nature as quartz, sand or opal. Silica more so than almost any material exists in many crystalline forms called polymorphs. Silica in the form of sand is used as ingredient in sand casting.

_________ cannot be readily separated by physical means.

  1. Mixtures

  2. Metals

  3. Alloys

  4. Non-metals
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Alloys are metallic materials consisting of two or more elements combined in such a way that they cannot be readily separated by physical means. More than 90% of metals used are in the form of alloys.

The alloy bronze contains copper and tin. This is a:

  1. homogeneous mixture

  2. heterogeneous mixture

  3. solid solution of two immiscible metals

  4. pure substance

A Correct answer
Explanation

Bronze is an alloy consisting primarily of copper, commonly with about 12% tin and often with the addition of other metals (such as aluminium, manganese, nickel or zinc) and sometimes non-metals or metalloids such as arsenic, phosphorus or silicon.

All the alloys are homogeneous mixture.
