Electricity and Magnetism
Solution
A transformer has primary and secondary windings of 200 and 800 turns, respectively. What is the input voltage if the output voltage is 132kV?
A
45,500V
B
33,000V
C
48,000V
D
250V
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
For a transformer: \(\frac{V_s}{V_p} = \frac{N_s}{N_p}\)
Given: N\(_p\) = 200 turns, N\(_s\) = 800 turns, V\(_p\) = ?, V\(_s\) = 132kv = 132000v
V\(_p\) = \(\frac{V_s \times N_s}{N_p}\)
V\(_p\) = \(\frac{132000 \times 200}{800}\) = 33000V

Acids, Bases, and Salts
Solution
The organic compounds that give positive iodoform test is
A
propan-2-ol
B
butanoic acid
C
methanol
D
propan-1-ol
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
The organic compound that gives a positive iodoform test is propan-2-ol.
A positive iodoform test requires a methyl ketone (CH\(_3\)CO-) or a secondary alcohol with a methyl group at the alpha position (CH\(_3\)CH(OH)-).
Propan-2-ol (CH\(_3\)CH(OH)CH\(_3\)) is a secondary alcohol containing an alpha-methyl group. During the test, it is oxidized to propanone (acetone), which then reacts with iodine and sodium hydroxide to form a yellow crystalline precipitate of iodoform.

Acids, Bases, and Salts
Solution
The bleaching action of chlorine is by
A
decomposition
B
reduction
C
displacement
D
hydrolysis
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
The correct answer is decomposition (though more specifically, it is an oxidation process driven by the decomposition of an intermediate acid).
When chlorine gas (Cl\(_2\)) is introduced to a colored material, it requires moisture (water) to bleach. The reaction occurs in two main steps:
The Reaction with Water: Chlorine reacts with water to form hydrochloric acid (HCl) and hypochlorous acid (HClO)
Decomposition: The hypochlorous acid is highly unstable. It quickly decomposes to release hydrochloric acid and a highly reactive atom known as nascent oxygen ([O])

Atomic Structure and Periodic Table
Solution
The bond type between copper(ii) ion and water molecule is
A
dative
B
metallic
C
covalent
D
ionic
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
The type of bond that exists between a copper(II) ion (Cu\(^{2+}\)) and a water molecule (H\(_2\)O) is a coordinate covalent bond (also known as a dative covalent bond or coordinate bond).
The oxygen atom in the water molecule has lone pairs of electrons. The copper(II) ion has empty orbitals that can accept these electron pairs.
Water acts as a ligand, donating a pair of electrons to the central Cu\(^{2+}\) ion to form a coordinate covalent bond

3,2 and 1
C
2,1 and 2
D
2,3 and 1
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
To balance the equation, the number of atoms for each element must be equal on both sides:
Carbon (C): 2 atoms on the reactant side (C₂H₄) and 2 atoms on the product side (2CO₂).
Hydrogen (H): 4 atoms on the reactant side (C₂H₄) and 4 atoms on the product side (2H₂O).
Oxygen (O): 6 atoms on the reactant side (3O₂) and 6 atoms on the product side (4 from 2CO₂ + 2 from 2H₂O).

This question is based on Kabir Garba's The Lekki Headmaster
'You again...Mr. Bepo? What business brings you out at this hour? Is this the students' hostel you are supposed to be minding?'
What figure of speech is used in the clauses?
A
alliteration
B
simile
C

medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Grammar & Contextual Explanation
In Chapter 7, when Mr. Bepo confronts Mr. Egi Meko (the director of Beesway) and his accomplices while they are leading a cow into a pit at 2:50 a.m., the director fires these questions at him. They are rhetorical questions intended to challenge, dismiss, and reprimand Bepo rather than to elicit genuine answers. This quote can be found on page 37 of the novel.
