The word ''any'' is used in negative sentences and questions, so you have used ''any'' correctly in the last two questions. But there is a mistake in the first question. It should be ''Is there any milk in the kitchen?'' because the word ''milk'' is uncountable.
When you use the word ''any'', you don't specify quantity or number.

or it should be like this ( are there any chairs in the class?)
