It has a slightly salty, alkaline taste resembling that of washing soda (sodium carbonate). Since it has long been known and is widely used, the slat has many related names such as baking soda, bread soda, cooking soda, and bicarbonate of soda.

(a) Carborundum / कारबरंडम
(b) Tungsten / टंगस्टन
(c) Cast iron / कास्ट आयरन
(d) Nichrome / निक्रोम
Sol. Nichrome generally refers to any alloy of Nickel, Chromium and often iron and/or other elements or substances. Nichrome is very ductile material. It has high specific resistively and minimum temperature coefficient. They are also used in some dental restorations (fillings) and in other applications.
मोती की रासायनिक संरचना क्या है?
(a) Calcium Carbonate / कैल्शियम कार्बोनेट
(b) Calcium Carbonate & Magnesium Carbonate / कैल्शियम कार्बोनेट और मैग्नीशियम कार्बोनेट
(c) Calcium Chloride / कैल्शियम क्लोराइड
(d) Calcium Sulphate / कैल्शियम सल्फेट
Sol. The chemical composition of pearl is 85% Calcium Carbonate, 10-14% Conchiolin and 2-4% of water (CaCO_3 and H_2 O). Conchiolin is a protein.
मीका क्या है?
(a) Good conductor of heat and bad conductor of electricity / ऊष्मा का सुचालक और बिजली का ऊचालक
(b) Bad conductor of both heat and electricity / ऊष्मा और बिजली दोनों का ऊचालक
(c) Good conductor of heat and electricity both / ऊष्मा और बिजली दोनों का सुचालक
(d) Bad conductor of heat and good conductor of electricity / ऊष्मा का ऊचालक और बिजली का सुचालक
Sol. Mica is a Good conductor of heat and bad conductor of electricity
निम्नलिखित में से कौन सा कार्बोहाइड्रेट है?

(b) Cane-sugar / गन्ना
(c) Turpentine / तारपीन
(d) Hydrogen peroxide / हाइड्रोजन पेरोक्साइड
Sol. Cane-sugar is carbohydrate and as this name implies, is composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. It is a source of extracting sugar.

(a) FeCO3
(b) Fe2 O3
(c) Fe3 O4
(d) FeS2
Sol. Hematite (Fe2O3) .
“परमाणु में दो इलेक्ट्रॉनों की सभी चार क्वांटम संख्या समान नहीं हैं।” यह नियम किसका है?
(a) Hund’s / हुंड
(b) Exclusion Principle of Pauli / पाउली का अपवर्जन का नियम
(c) Uncertainty Principle of Hiesenberg / हाइजेनबर्ग अनिश्चितता के सिद्धांत
(d) Avogadro’s Law / अवोगाद्रो का नियम
Sol. The Pauli exclusion principle is the quantum mechanical principle that no two identical fermions (particles with half-integer spin) may occupy the same quantum state simultaneously. A more rigorous statement is that the total wave function for two identical fermions is anti-symmetric with respect to exchange of the particles. For example, no tow electrons in a single atom can have the same four quantum numbers; if n, 1, and ml are the same, ms must be different such that the electrons have opposite spins.
हरे फल को कृत्रिम फल बनाने के लिए उपयोग की जाने वाली गैस कौन सी है?
(a) Ethylene/ एथिलीन
(b) Acetylene / एसिटिलीन
(c) Ethane / एटैन
(d) Methane / मीथेन
Sol. Ethylene is also an important natural plant hormone, and is used in agriculture to force the ripening of fruits.
उच्च नाइट्रोजन सामग्री वाले कौन सा उर्वरक है?
(a) Urea / यूरिया

हमें जीवित रखने वाले ऑक्सीजन कहां से आती हैं?
(a) Carbon dioxide / कार्बन डाइऑक्साइड
(b) Carbonates absorbed from soil / मिट्टी से अवशोषित कार्बोनेट
(c) Oxides of minerals / खनिजों के ऑक्साइड
(d) Water / पानी
Sol. Since water and carbon dioxide are both compounds which contain oxygen, it is possible to obtain oxygen from either. The oxygen produced from photosynthesis is not released into the air. It is not until cellular respiration that oxygen is released. The oxygen comes from water. The water molecules are split at the “beginning” of photosynthesis for the electrons. These electrons eventually make their way electrons.
