Answer Key – Everyday Chemistry Quiz
Q. No.
Correct Answer
Explanation (Everyday Life Connection)
1
Citric acid
Lemon juice contains citric acid, a weak organic acid that gives the sour taste and is commonly used in food and as a natural cleaner. [web:65][web:67]
2
Phenolphthalein
Phenolphthalein is colourless in acidic solutions but turns pink in basic (alkaline) solutions, so it is often used in laboratories to detect bases. [web:65][web:69]
3
Taking an antacid tablet
Antacids contain mild bases like magnesium hydroxide or sodium bicarbonate that neutralise excess hydrochloric acid in the stomach and reduce acidity. [web:68][web:72]
4
Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda)
Baking soda is a mild base used in some cleaning powders and pastes to remove stains and neutralise odours in kitchens and bathrooms. [web:67][web:72]
5
Salt and water
When an acid reacts with a base, a neutralisation reaction forms a salt and water; for example, hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide form sodium chloride and water. [web:65][web:75]
6
Mixing lemon juice with baking soda to clean a stain
Lemon juice (acidic) and baking soda (basic) react to neutralise each other and release gas, helping to lift certain stains and clean surfaces. [web:67][web:71]
7
Iodised salt
Iodised salt has iodine added to ordinary salt to prevent iodine deficiency, which can cause goitre and other thyroid-related problems. [web:69][web:72]
8
They neutralise acids produced by bacteria in the mouth
Bacteria in the mouth produce acids that attack tooth enamel; slightly basic toothpaste helps neutralise these acids and protect teeth from decay. [web:68][web:71]
9
Acetic acid – vinegar
Vinegar is a dilute solution of acetic acid, used in cooking, pickling and cleaning; its sour taste comes from acetic acid. [web:66][web:71]

Preparation Strategy – General Reasoning (20Q · 60M)
How to prepare
Start with classification, analogy, series, coding‑decoding, direction, blood relations and syllogism; these chapters dominate most government exams. [web:270][web:279]
Practise 30–40 questions daily in mixed sets; track accuracy first, then speed.
Maintain a notebook of common patterns and “shortcut visuals” (family trees, direction diagrams, Venn diagrams).

Most Mispronounced English Words in India (With Easy Pronunciation Tips)
Most Mispronounced English Words in India
Improve your spoken English with quick, click‑to‑expand tips on real high‑search words.
These words appear frequently in Google “how to pronounce” searches from India, which means millions of learners are confused about them. Learn the correct sound and use them confidently in conversations and interviews. [web:235][web:243][web:245]
1. “Comfortable” – daily conversation word
Spoken English+
Common mistake:com‑for‑TA‑bul (four full syllables)
Better pronunciation:KUMF‑tuh‑bul (3 quick beats)
In natural English, the middle “or” sound disappears and the word becomes shorter: KUMF‑tuh‑bul.
Use it in a sentence: “Are you comfortable with online classes?”
2. “Schedule” – office & school meetings
Office English+
Common mistake (India):SKED‑yool for all situations
Widely accepted versions:SHED‑yool (British) or SKED‑yool (American)
Both are correct. For CBSE, competitive exams and most Indian workplaces, SHED‑yool sounds more natural with British influence.
Example: “Let us fix the exam schedule for next week.”
3. “Receipt” – the silent letters trap
Everyday English+
Common mistake: saying the “p” as in re‑SEP‑t
Correct pronunciation:ri‑SEET (silent “p”)
The letters “p” and “t” are both written, but only the “t” is heard; “p” stays silent.
Example: “Please keep the receipt for your reimbursement claim.”
4. “Entrepreneur” – popular in start‑up India
Business English+
Common mistake: breaking each letter: en‑tree‑pro‑ner
Practical pronunciation:on‑truh‑pruh‑NER (stress on last part)
Keep it smooth: “on‑truh‑pruh‑NER”, not “EN‑TREE‑PRE‑NEWER”.
Example: “She is a young entrepreneur running an EdTech company.”
5. “Pronunciation” – even this word is mispronounced
Exam favourite+
Common mistake:pro‑NOUN‑ciation (like “noun”)
Correct pronunciation:pruh‑NUN‑see‑AY‑shun
The spelling changes from “pronounce” to “pronunciation” (O → U), and the sound also changes to “pruh‑NUN‑…”.
Example: “Good pronunciation makes your English clearer and more confident.”
