"As energy moves progressively through various trophic levels of food chain it is no longer available to the previous level". Give reasons.

Answer»

Solution :(1) The flow of energy is unidirectional.
(2) At every trophic level, LARGE amount of energy is lost in form of heat for maintaining METABOLIC activities.
(3) The amount of heat lost is generally 90 % and only 10 % of energy is retained and is available ftom previous trophic level to the NEXT.
(4) Thus it is said that no energy is available for the previous level. .

Arun's elder sister Rama is getting married nex month. His father and mother were takingRama to a jeweller's shop to select and buy gold jewellery for this occasion. Arun insisted on going with them to the jeweller's shop. The family saw a number of jewellery pieces. Rama liked one of the gold necklaces very much and wanted to buy it immediately. The jeweller said that this necklace was made of 22 carat gold. Just when Arun's father was about to make payment for this necklace, Arun steped in. He asked the jeweller to show the hallmark on this gold necklace. The jeweller told him that this necklace is yet to be sent to the hallmarking laboratory for testing and stamping. Arun asked his father not to buy this necklace until the jeweller gets it hall marked. The jeweller then asked for one week's time to get the necklace hallmarked. Mean while Arun explained the need for hallmarking of gold jewellery to his family. When Arun and his family returned after one weak, the necklace carried hallmark. They also obtained hallmark certificate and a proper receipt from the jeweller before paying money and taking delivery of necklace. Rama was very happy to get this necklace. (a) How many carats is pure gold? Why are ornaments not make of pure gold? (b)What is meant by 22 carats gold? What can a dishonest jeweller do to earn more profit form gold jewellery? (c) What is hallmark? Which Government Organisation controls the hallmark scheme for jewellery in India? (d) Why should we buy only hallmarked gold jewellery? (e) What values are displayed by Arunin this episode?

Answer»

Solution :(a) The pure gold is 24 carats. Ornaments are not made of pure gold because pure gold is very soft (and hence it becomes difficult to work with it).
(B) 22 carat gold means that 22 parts of pure gold has been alloyed by mixing 2 parts of either silver or copper. The addition of little of silver or copper makes the gold hard. This hardened gold is more suitable for making ornaments (because it becomes easier to work with it). In India, gold ornaments are usually made of 22 carat gold. The dishonest jeweller can mix a large amount of chaeaper metal such as silver or copper to the pure gold and still SELL the ornaments made from it as 22 carat gold to earn more profit.
(c) hallmark is a mark (or logo) stamped on the article of gold jewellery which certifies the purity of gold used for making that jewellery. the hallmark SCHEME ris controlled by a GOVERNMENT Organisation called Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). Ther are many authorised hall marking laboratories in EVERY city of India which test the purity of gold in every piece of jewellery before hallmarking it (The term Hallmark has come from the Goldsmith's Hall in London where gold jewellery articles were tested and stamped).
(d) We should buy only hallmarked gold jewellery because it contains th e gold and its alloyed metal (silver or copper) in the correct ratio. It does not contain more of the cheaper metals (like silver or copper). Hallmark is a quality assurance certification of the purity of gold used in every piece of jewellery.
(e) The vales displayed by Arun in this episode are (i) Awareness (or knowledge) of the existence of hallmark certification for the purity of gold jewellery (ii) Correct decision making skills (in not buying unmarked jewellery) and (iii) Desire to protect his family from being cheated by jeweller.

7577.

Arrive at, systematically, the IUPAC name of the compound: CH_(3)-CH_(2)-CH_(2)-OH.

Answer»

Solution :Step 1: The parent chain consists of 4 carbon atoms. The root WORLD is .but.
Step 2: All are single BONDS between the carbon atoms of the chain. So the primary suffix is .ane.
Step 3: Since the compound contains the - OH group, it is an ALCOHOL. The secondary suffix is .ol.. But + ane + ol = Butan-ol = Butanol
7578.

Arrange these alcohols in the order of increasing carbon atoms to get a family. Can we call this family a homologous series ?

Answer»

SOLUTION :Alcohols in the increasing order of carbon atoms are as follows :
`CH_(3)OH,C_(2)H_(5)OH,C_(3)H_(7)OH,C_(4)H_(9)OH`
Yes, we CALL this family a homologous series.
