The chemist published a paper on _________ reactions.

This question was previously asked in
SSC CHSL 2025 Tier 1 Question Paper (21-Nov-2025) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

stoichiometric

The blank needs the correctly spelt scientific adjective for the reactions a chemist would study, so we compare each option letter by letter.

The intended word is 'stoichiometric', the adjective from 'stoichiometry', the branch of chemistry dealing with the fixed proportions of reactants and products.

Its correct spelling is s-t-o-i-c-h-i-o-m-e-t-r-i-c: it opens with 'stoi-' and continues with '-chiometric'.

Option 2, 'stiochiometric', and option 4, 'stiochimetric', both wrongly write 'stio-' at the start, swapping the correct 'oi' to 'io'.

Option 3, 'stoichometric', drops the required 'i' after 'stoich', losing the '-chio-' cluster.

Only option 1 keeps both the opening 'stoi-' and the internal 'chio', so it is the accurate spelling.

Hence the correctly spelt word is stoichiometric.
