1. Which of the following is NOT a factor affecting the rate of a chemical reaction?

• A. Concentration of reactants
• B. Temperature
• C. Presence of a catalyst
• D. Color of the reaction mixture

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Color of the reaction mixture. While color change can sometimes be an indicator of a reaction, it doesn't directly influence the reaction rate.

2. What is the waste product of protein digestion?

• A. Glucose
• B. Amino acids
• C. Fatty acids
• D. Ammonia

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Rationale: Protein digestion involves breaking down proteins into their constituent amino acids. During this process, the waste product produced is ammonia. Ammonia is a toxic compound that needs to be converted into urea in the liver and then excreted by the kidneys in the form of urine. Glucose is a product of carbohydrate digestion, amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, and fatty acids are the end products of fat digestion.

3. How is work defined in terms of force and displacement?

• A. Work is the product of force and displacement in any direction
• B. Work is done only when the displacement is vertical
• C. Work is done only when the force and displacement are perpendicular
• D. Work is the product of force and displacement in the direction of the force

Correct answer: d

Rationale: Work is calculated as the force applied to an object multiplied by the displacement of the object in the direction of the force.

4. How is the density of a substance calculated?

• A. Mass / Volume
• B. Volume / Mass
• C. Mass x Volume
• D. None of the above

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Density is the mass per unit volume of a substance.

5. Which element is used in fire extinguishers to smother flames by displacing oxygen?

• A. Nitrogen
• B. Carbon dioxide
• C. Helium
• D. Argon

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Carbon dioxide extinguishes flames by depriving them of oxygen, preventing the chemical reaction that sustains the fire.

6. What is the author's stance towards the idea of smart cities?

• A. Strongly supportive, emphasizing only the benefits.
• B. Strongly critical, focusing solely on the drawbacks.
• C. Balanced and objective, highlighting both potential and concerns.
• D. Indecisive and unclear about the overall value of smart cities.

Correct answer: C
