Q:

A and B entered into a partnership with Rs.800 and Rs.1600 respectively. From 9th months onward they each decided to invest Rs.100 more on starting of each month. If total annual profit is Rs.7700 then find the profit share of A.

A) Rs.2550 B) Rs.3200
C) Rs.2650 D) Rs.2450
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Rs.2650

Explanation:

A : B = (800 × 8+ 900+ 1000+ 1100+ 1200): (1600 × 8+ 1700+ 1800+ 1900+ 2000)
A : B = 53 : 101
Profit of A ⇒ 7700 ×53/154 = 2650 Rs.

Q:

Order of basicity of amines

Answer

The order of basicity for primary, secondary and tertiary amines are:


Secondary > Primary > Tertiary > NH3


 


* Amines are basic in nature as they have lone pair of electrons on nitrogen. Therefore, they have a strong tendency to donate this lone pair of electrons to electron acceptors.


* The stability of conjugate acids formed is dependent on the extent of H-bonding,and greater the number of H-atoms on N more stable is the conjugate acid.


* The conjugate acid of primary amine is the most stable with greater number (3) of H-bonds than > Secondary > tertiary. But primary amines are less basic than secondary as the electron density on the N atom is less and lone pair of electrons are not readily available for protonation.


* The two opposing factors i.e. the stability of conjugate acids formed and ease of availability of electrons for Protonation, balance each other in case of secondary amines and it is most basic.

Q:

Which of the following equations represents Photosynthesis?

A) 6CO2 + 6H2O -----> C6H12O6 + 6O2 B) C6H12O6 + 6O2 -----> CO2 + 6H2O
C) CO2 + H2O -----> C6H12O6 + 6O2 D) 6O2 + 6H2O -----> C6H12O6 + 6CO2
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 6CO2 + 6H2O -----> C6H12O6 + 6O2

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy that can later be released to fuel the organisms activities.

 

Photosynthesis can be represented using a chemical equation.

 

The overall balanced equation is

 

              6CO2 +  6H2O   Sunlight    C6H12O6   +   6O2Source of Carbon & Oxygen  + Source of Electrons & Hydrogen + Energy that drives Photosynthesis             ----> Sugar + Gas produced by splitting water.

 

Where 

CO2 = carbon dioxide 

H2O = water

C6H12O6 = glucose 

O2 = oxygen.
