How much sugar will be required if each person on the earth is given 100 molecules of sugar? The population of the earth is 3×1010.

Answer»

The sugar given to the entire population on earth is 3 × 1010 × 10= 3 ×1012 molecules.

One mole (6 ×1023) molecules of sugar corresponds to 342 g.

Hence, 3×1012 molecules of sugar corresponds to \(\frac{3 \times 10^{12}}{6 \times 10^{23}} \times 342\) = 170.43 x 10-11 g.

Therefore, sugar required is 170.43 × 10−11 g.

Absence of tartaric acid in baking powder makes the taste of the cake bitter due to the presence of :(a) Sodium hydrogen carbonate(b) Sodium carbonate(c) Sodium metabisulphite(d) Sodium sulphate

Answer»

Correct answer is (b) sodium carbonate

Absence of tartaric acid in baking powder makes the taste of the cake bitter due to the presence of Na2CO3 (sodium carbonate)

We know that sodium carbonate is basic in nature.

NaHCO3 when heated gives Na2CO3 + CO2 

So to neutralize the bitter taste tartaric acid is added.

26.

Why is tartaric acid added in baking powder?

Answer»

Tartaric acid is added to neutralize the sodium carbonate, produced on heating sodium hydrogen carbonate. If tartaric acid is not present in baking powder, the cake will taste bitter due to the presence of sodium carbonate.

The resistance of the wire is in the inverse ratio of ____________.1. Temperature2. Resistivity3. Length4. Cross-section area

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : Cross-section area

The correct answer is cross-section wire.

  • Resistance is a property of an electric circuit.
  • It transforms electrical energy into heat energy.
  • The reciprocal of resistance is conductance.
  • The SI unit of resistance is the ohm.
  • The unit is named after the German physicist George ohm.
  • The electrical resistance is measured by two methods namely constant current or constant voltage.

 

  • The resistance of a wire depends upon the material of the wire.
  • It is directly proportional to the length of the wire.
  • And is inversely proportional to the cross-section area.

A sound source sends waves of frequency 400 Hz and 2.5 m wavelength. What will be the speed of sound waves?1. 1000 m / s2. 10000 m / s3. 100 m / s4. 10 m / s

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 1000 m / s

The correct answer is 1000 m /s.

  • The sound waves are a type of longitudinal waves.
  • These waves travel through a medium like air or water.
  • sound waves can also be categorized into mechanical waves or pressure waves.
  • Some of the examples of longitudinal waves are Tsunami waves, clapping, and earthquakes.

 

  • To calculate the speed of sound waves, the formula will be calculated as -

           Speed = wavelength x frequency.

  • The wavelength can be defined as the distance between two successive crests or two successive troughs.
  • Frequency can be defined as the number of waves that pass through a fixed point in a definite amount of time.

  • 1 Kwh is equal to 3600000 joules.
  • The unit of energy is expressed in kilowatt hour.

  • The energy consumed by electric utilities is also expressed in kilowatt hour.
  • If for the time duration 1 hour, the 1 kw of power is sustained then it is called as kilowatt hour.
  • In non-SI unit, hour is listed.
  • The less commonly uses unit of energy is kilowatt hour.
  • In kilowatt hour, the electrical energy is sold to consumers.
  • Energy can neither be created nor be destroyed, it can only be transferred from one form to another.
