Question:

Match the items in Column I with its main use listed in Column II :
Column IColumn II
(A) Silica gel(i) Transistor
(B) Silicon(ii) Ion-exchanger
(C) Silicone(iii) Drying agent
(D) Silicate(iv) Sealant

Show Hint

Recall the uses: silica gel dries gases, pure silicon makes transistors, silicones are sealants, and zeolite-type silicates are ion exchangers.

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

(A) Silica gel is a drying (dehydrating) agent: (iii).
(B) Ultra-pure silicon is a semiconductor used in transistors and chips: (i).
(C) Silicones (organosilicon polymers) are used as sealants, greases and water-proofing agents: (iv).
(D) Silicates such as zeolites (aluminosilicates) act as ion exchangers: (ii).
This gives (A)-(iii), (B)-(i), (C)-(iv), (D)-(ii).
Answer: (1) (A)-(iii), (B)-(i), (C)-(iv), (D)-(ii)
