The answer is (b) It regulates growth and development of the body

3.

Choose the incorrect statement about insulin:A. It is produced form pancreas.B. It regulates growth and development of the body.C. It regulates blood sugar level.D. Insufficient secretion of insulin will cause diabetes

Answer»

Insulin is the hormone which is secreted by pancreas and regulates the sugar level of blood and its deficiency lead to diabetes. It has nothing to do with the growth and development.

Therefore, (b) is incorrect statement about insulin.

How many genes are responsible for ABO system of blood group in humans?(A) one (B) two(C) three(D) four

Answer»

Correct answer is (C) three

12.

How many genes are responsible for ABO system of blood group in humans? (A) One (B) Two (C) three (D) four

Answer»

Correct Answer is: (C) three 

The ABO blood group antigens are encoded by one genetic locus, the ABO locus, which has three alternative (allelic) forms—A, B, and O. 

A child receives one of the three alleles from each parent, giving rise to six possible genotypes and four possible blood types (phenotypes).

The Boolean-expression for NAND gate is A) (Over line) A + B = Y B) A + B = Y C) (Over line) A. B = Y D) A. B = Y

Answer»

The correct option is C) (Over line) A. B = Y.

The Boolean expression for a logic NAND gate is denoted by a single dot or full stop symbol, ( . ) with a line or Over line, ( ‾‾ ) over the expression to signify the NOT or logical negation of the NAND gate giving us the Boolean expression of: A.B = Y.

Explain the anomalous properties of fluorine.

Answer»

The anomalous properties of fluorine are as follows :

  • Fluorine has the highest reactivity among other halogens. 
  • Fluorine forms strong hydrogen bonding in its hydrides unlike other halogens. 
  • HF is a liquid while other hydrogen halides are gases at room temperature. 
  • HF is a weak acid while other haloacids are strong acids. 
  • Fluorine shows only one oxidation state – 1 while all other halogens show variable oxidation states like -1, +1, +3, +5 and + 7. 
  • Fluorine has the highest electronegativity but less negative electron gain enthalpy than chlorine. 
  • The compounds of fluorine have higher ionic character than other halogens. 
  • Fluorine has no tendency to form polyhalide ion whereas other halogens form polyhalide ions like, Cl3-, Br3 and I3-.
  • Fluorine unlike other halogens when reacts with water and produces Oand O3. 2F2 + 2H2O → 4HF + O2 ; 3F2 + 3H2O → 6HF + O3
  • Fluorine shows much higher values of ionisation enthalpy, electronegativity and standard electrode potentials compared to the other halogens. 
  • Fluorine shows much lower values of ionic and covalent radii, melting and boiling points and electron gain enthalpy than expected.
  • Fluorine forms only one oxoacid HOF, while the other halogens form a number of oxoacids.
17.

A rectangular water reservoir contains 42000 litres of water. If the length of reservoir is 6 m and its breadth is 3.5 m, the depth of the reservoir is A. 2 m B. 5 m C. 6 m D. 8m

Answer»

We know that, 

Volume of a cuboid = Length × Breadth × Height 

42000 L = 42 m3 (As 1 m3 = 1000 L) 

Therefore, 

Height (h) = \(\frac{Volume}{Ib}\)

\(\frac{42}{6\times3.5}\)

= 2 m 

Hence, option A is correct

In a year, Seema earns Rs 1,50,000 and saves Rs 50,000. Find the ratio of(a) Money that Seema earns to the money she saves.(b) Money that she saves to the money she spends.

Answer»

Money earned by seema = Rs 1,50,000

Money Saved by Seemed = Rs 50,000

Money spent = Rs 1,50,000 – Rs 50,000 = Rs 1,00,000

(a) Ratio of money earned to money saved = 1, 50,000/50,000 

= 3/1 = 3 : 1

(b) Ratio of money saved to money spent = 50,000/1,00,000 

= 1/2 = 1 : 2

= 25 – [12 – {5 + 18 + (4 – 2)}]

= 25 – [12 – {5 + 18 + 2}]

= 25 – [12 – {5 + 9}]

= 25 – [12 – 14]

= 25 – [-2]

= 25 + 2 

= 27

38.

Using BODMAS34 - [29 - {30 + 66 ÷ (24 - bar 28 - 26)}]

Answer»

= 34 – [29 – {30 + 66 + (24 – 2)}]

= 34 – [29 – {30 + 66 + 22}]

= 34 – [29 – {30 + 3}]

= 34 – [29 – 33]

= 34 – [-4]

= 34 + 4 

= 38

Write the balanced equations for the following reactions:KCN + H2SO4 → K2SO4 + HCN

Answer»

Step 1:

Rewrite the given equation as it is

KCN + H2SO→ K2SO4 + HCN

Step 2:

Write the number of atoms of each element or group in the unbalanced equation on both sides of the equation.

ElementNumber of atoms in reactantsNumber of atoms in products
K12
CN (group)11
O44
H44
S11

The number of oxygen atoms involved in different compounds on both sides (reactants and products) are equal. Therefore, balance the number of atoms of the second element, potassium.

Step 3:

To balance K atoms:

Number of atoms of PotassiumIn reactantsIn products
To begin with2 (KCN)2 (in K2SO4)
To balance1 × 22

To equalise the number of potassium atoms, we use 2 as the coefficient of KCN in the reactants. 

Now, the partly balanced equation becomes 

2KCN + H2SO4 → K2SO4 + 2HCN

Now, count the atoms of each element on both sides of the equation. The number of atoms on both sides are equal. Hence, the balanced equation is

2KCN + H2SO4 → KgSO4 + 2HCN

Now indicate the physical states of the reactants and the products.

2KCN(aq) + H2SO4(aq) → K2SO4(aq) + 2HCN(g)

2KCN + H2SO4 → K2SO4 + 2HCN

40.
