The effect of sting of an ant can be neutralized by rubbing the area with1. Soap powder2. Baking soda3. Epsom salt4. Common salt

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : Baking soda

The correct answer is Baking soda

  • Ant sting or bee sting contains methanoic acid. 
  • Methanoic acid is also known as formic acid.
  • Bee or ant injects formic acid into our skin while biting.
  • Injection of acid by ant or bee results in pain at the place of bite.
  • Rubbing baking soda over the skin gives relief from pain due to ant or bee sting.
  • Baking soda, which is a base, neutralizes the effect of acid injected by bee or ant.
  • Another base, such as zinc carbonate (Calamite solution) is also used in case of ant or bee sting.

  • Neutralization
    • When a solution of acid is mixed with the solution of base, both of them neutralize each other and a third substance (called salt) is formed.
    • Such a phenomenon is called neutralization or neutralization reaction.
    • The solution formed because of the mixing of the solution of acid and base is neither acidic nor basic in nature. Such a solution is known as a neutral solution.
    • Acid + Base → Salt + Water
    • Salt formed because of neutralization reaction may be acidic or basic in nature.
    • The acidic or basic nature of salt depends upon the strength of acid and base.
    • In neutralization reaction heat is evolved. Reactions in which heat is evolved are known as exothermic reactions. Thus, the neutralization reaction is an exothermic reaction.

Umesh has two bulbs having resistances of \( 15 \Omega \) and \( 30 \Omega \). He wants to connect them in a circuit, but if he connects them one at a time the filament gets burnt. Answer the following.

Answer»

When Umesh connects the bulbs one at a time, the filaments of the bulbs get burnt. This means the heat energy generated in the filament is beyond what it can tolerate. Hence, we need to reduce the heat generated across the filament. Now, the heat generated in a resistor is proportional to the amount of current flowing through it. Thus, we need to reduce the current flowing through the bulbs. 

A. If bulbs are connected in series, the effective resistance of the circuit increases, and hence current through the bulbs decreases. In this way, both the bulbs can be saved from burning.

B. Following are the characteristics of series connection:

  • The effective resistance of the circuit is the sum of individual resistances of the resistors present in the circuit. 
  • The effective resistance of the series circuit is always larger than the greatest resistance in the circuit.
  • Current through various electrical components connected in series is the same.
  • The source voltage gets divided across the electrical components connected in series.

C. The effective resistance of the circuit = 15Ω + 30Ω = 45Ω
