JEE MainChemistrySome Basic Concepts of ChemistryMCQ+4 / −1
Choose the correct statements. (A) Weight of a substance is the amount of matter present in it. (B) Mass is the force exerted by gravity on an object. (C) Volume is the amount of space occupied by a substance. (D) Temperatures below 0°C are possible in Celsius scale, but in Kelvin scale negative temperature is not possible. (E) Precision refers to the closeness of various measurements for the same quantity. Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
  1. A
    (B), (C) and (D) Only
  2. B
    (A), (B) and (C) Only
  3. C

Correct answer: C

  1. Check statement (A):

    • "Weight of a substance is the amount of matter present in it."
    • The amount of matter present in a substance is called mass, not weight.
    • Weight is the force with which gravity pulls an object.
    • Hence, (A) is false.
  2. Check statement (B):

    • "Mass is the force exerted by gravity on an object."
    • This is actually the definition of weight, not mass.
    • Hence, (B) is false.
  3. Check statement (C):

    • "Volume is the amount of space occupied by a substance."
    • This is the correct definition of volume.
    • Hence, (C) is true.
  4. Check statement (D):

    • In the Celsius scale, temperatures below 0∘C0^\circ \mathrm{C}0∘C are possible.
    • In the Kelvin scale used in classical thermodynamics, temperature cannot be negative because 0 K0\,\mathrm{K}0K is absolute zero.
    • Hence, (D) is true.
  5. Check statement (E):

    • Precision means the closeness of repeated measurements of the same quantity to one another.
    • This is correct.
    • Hence, (E) is true.
  6. Collect the correct statements:

    • True statements are (C), (D), and (E) only.
  7. Match with the options:

    • Option C = (C), (D) and (E) Only

Therefore, the correct answer is Option C.
