Q:

In paper manufacturing, degumming of the raw material is done using

A) sulphuric acid B) bleaching powder
C) caustic soda D) nitric acid
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) caustic soda

Explanation:

Paper production is basically a two-step process in which a fibrous raw material is first converted into pulp, and then the pulp is converted into paper. The harvestedwood is first processed so that the fibres are separated from the unusable fraction of the wood, the lignin. Pulp making can be done mechanically or chemically. In the chemical pulping process, alkali (e.g., sodium hydroxide in the form of a lye or caustic soda) is usually used to remove the lignin that binds the fibres. So, for degumming of raw material, caustic soda is used.

In rusting the Iron ore make a chemical reaction with the oxygen in the presence of water and environmental or atmospheric moisture to produce an Iron oxide. Iron oxide is otherwise called as rust.


The rusting of iron is a chemical change because it is two substances reacting together to make a new substance. 


 


Rusting would only be a physical change if iron molecules remained pure iron throughout the process.

Q:

The Hooke's law is valid for

A) only proportional region of the stress strain curve B) entire stress strain curve
C) entire elastic region of the stress strain curve D) elastic as well as plastic region of the stress strain curve
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) only proportional region of the stress strain curve

Explanation:

Hooke's law states that within the elastic limit, stress developed is directly proportional to the strain produced in a body.Hooke’s law is valid only in the linear part of stress-strain curve. Hence, statement 1 is correct.
