Charring of sugar occurs when it is
(a) reduced
(b) hydrolysed
(c) dehydrated
(d) fermented

Answer: C

Reason
Charring of sugar is the dehydration of sugar either by heating it in the abscence of air or by heating it strongly with concentrated tetraoxosulphate(VI) acid to produce a black mass of carbon(known as char) and water.

If the cerebellum of a person is slightly
damaged, which of the following will be
impaired?
(a) vision
(b) walking
(c) Digestion
(d) Breathing

Answer :B (walking)

Reason
Cerebellum, sometimes called the little brain , lies below the back of the cerebrum. It is oval in shape and consists of two hemispheres. It is less convoluted than cerebrum and are shallower and less irregular (more or less parallel) than those of cerebrum. The surface of cerebellum is covered with grey matter , while the inner side is composed of white matter. It is connected to the semi-circular canals of the ears.

Functions of the Cerebellum
1) It is concerned with the balance and positioning of the body, it receives impulses from semi-circular canals of the ears, through the vestibular nerve fibre.
2) It is the coordinator of various actions of muscles in voluntary responses such as walking, talking and sitting.

Solubility of salts in water.

Solubility Rules


1) All salts of sodium,Potassium and ammonium are soluble in water.
2) All trioxonitrate (V) salts are soluble in water.
3) All chlorides are soluble in water; except those of Lead, mercury and silver that are insoluble in water.
4) All tetraoxosulphate(VI) salts, are soluble in water ; except those of lead and barium. Calcium tetraoxosulphate (VI), CaSO 4 is only slightly soluble in water.

5) All trioxosulphate (IV) salts are insoluble in water;except those of sodium,Potassium and ammonium that are soluble.

6) All trioxocarbonate (IV) salts are insoluble in water; except those of sodium,Potassium and ammonium that are water-soluble.

7) All sulphides, S2- are insoluble in water; except those of sodium,Potassium and ammonium that are soluble.

8 ) All acid salts are soluble in water.

Note:
1) Gases, such as ammonia,NH3 and Hydrogen Chloride, HCL are highly soluble in cold water. Infact, they react with water.Their aqueous solutions are therefore used as laboratory reagents.

2) Gases such as SO2 , NO2 , CL 2 , H2 S , N2O and CO2 are fairly soluble in water; hence, they are not collected over cold water during their laboratory preparations. H2S is collected over warm water.

3) Other gases such as O2 , N2 , H2 and CO are only slightly soluble in water;they can be collected over water.

I don't think it requires a calculator because one can use long division method to divide big numbers. It is just that this method is time consuming but it will be useful in exams.

Quick Revision in BIOLOGY

Metamorphosis (meta = change ; morphe = form)
Metamorphosis is the series of gradual changes that occur during the development of an animal from the zygote(fertilized egg) to the adult stage.

The two types of metamorphosis in insects are:
1) Complete metamorphosis : This goes on in four stages which include :
Egg ----> Larva ----> Pupa ----> Imago (Adult) .
The pupal stage is also known as the resting stage .
Examples of insects that undergo complete metamorphosis are houseflies, butterflies, beetles, weevils, bees, ants, wasps, mosquitoes, tsetseflies, blackflies, and moths.

2) Incomplete metamorphosis : This goes on in three stages which include:
Egg ---> Nymph ---> Imago.
Examples of insects that undergo incomplete metamorphosis are cockroaches, termites, dragonflies, grasshoppers, Locusts, crickets, praying mantis, aphids, cassava mealy bug and cotton stainer.

The shedding of exoskeletons at intervals by arthropods [ i.e. Phylum Arthropoda --- which is the largest phylum in the animal kingdom , and is divided into the following classes : Crustacea, insecta( which are the only invertebrates that can fly ), arachnida and myriapoda.] to allow their bodies to increase in size is known as moulting or ecdysis. The enzyme that controls moulting is known as ecdysome

There is actually a way you can get the exact value of the square root of a number. To find the square root of a number x: _/x=(x/y+y)/2 Where x=the number whose square root is to be determined and y=the number which when squared give a perfect sqr close to x, that is, y^2 is close to x. This method must be repeated at least thrice. For example, (i) to find the sqrt of 2: x=2, y=1(since 1^2 is close to x) _/2=(2/1+1)/2=3/2=1.5. Repeat the method again but ur new y will be 1.5: (2/1.5+1.5)/2=(17/6)/2=17/12=1.42. Repeat the method the third time but ur new y will be 1.42: (2/1.42+1.42)/2=1.4142. You can keep repeating this method like dis. (ii) to find sqrt of 13: x=13, y=3(since 3^2 is a perfect square close to 13). _/13=(13/3+3)/2=11/3=3.7. Repeat the method again, (13/3.7+3.7)/2=3.61. Repeat the method again, (13/3.61+3.61)/2=3.60555. Repeat the method continuously.

This is Smart!........but very technical and time consuming.

And

You will still need a calculator to do it, especially when big numbers are involved.

answer to this was 40g

I think it is wrong because tension is a force whose unit is Newton...and spring balance measures weight not mass.


But you can still convert the value in Newton to gramms...thus
F = mg ...where m = F/g = 0.4/10 = 0.04Kg.
Then,multiply by 1000 to convert to gramms = 0.04 * 1000 = 40g

long wire fixed to a high tree. A horizontal
string attached to the body pulls it until the
wire is at 30 degrees to the vertical. Find
the tensions in both the string and the wire.

Using the diagramatic reprsentation of the question below, and solving from the resolved triangle of vectors,
Cos(theta) = adj/hyp
Cos30(degrees) = 7N/T1
.: T1(tension in the long wire) = 7N/cos30 = 8.08N.

Also,

Tan(theta) = opp/adj.
Tan30(degrees) = T2/7N.

From the question,alchohol and petrol have the same mass.
.: M = d1 * V1 = d2 * V2.
Substituting the values given in the question in the above equation,
(8.4 * 10^2)Kg/m^3 * V1 = (7.2 * 10^2)Kg/m^3 * 4.2m^3
.: V1(which is volume of alchohol) = (720 * 4.2)/840 = 3.6m^3

A block of material of volume 20cm^3 and
density 2.5gcm^-3 is suspended from a spring
balance with half the volume of the block
immersed in water. What is the reading of the
spring balance? (density of water = 1.0gcm^-3)



From Density = Mass/volume
.: Mass = Density * volume = 2.5g/cm^3 * 20cm^3 = 50g = (50/1000)Kg = 0.05Kg.
Weight of the block in air = mg = 0.05Kg * 10m/s2 = 0.5N.

Now,

Half of the volume of the block is immersed in water; which implies: 1/2 * 20cm^3 = 10cm^3.
Upthrust = density * volume * g(acceleration due to gravity) = 1g/cm^3 * 10cm^3 * g = 10g * g = (10/1000)Kg * 10m/s^2 = 0.01Kg * 10m/s^2 = 0.1N

Reading of the spring balance = Tension in the spring of balance = Weight of the block in air - Upthrust = 0.5N -0.1N = 0.4N

What is the tension in the cable holding
a mine of mass 600kg and volume 0.8m^3 to
the sea bed, so that it is totally submerged.


Density of seawater = 1030Kgm^-3.

Weight of mine in air = mg = 600g * 10m/s2 = 6000N.
Upthrust of mine in seawater = density * volume * acceleration due to gravity = 1030 * 0.8 * 10 = 8240N.
Tension in the cable = Upthrust - Weight of mine in air = 8240N - 6000N = 2240N.

A hydrometer has a weighted bulb of volume 30cm^3 and a uniform stem with a cross-sectional area of 1cm^2. When floating in water 3cm of the stem is immersed. What length of this stem will be immersed when the hydrometer floats in a liquid of density 0.89gcm^-3. PLS SHOW FULL WORKINGS! CC: DrBESTJC, TeflonBlixx and others.


Volume of the hydrometer when floating in water,V1 = Volume of the weighted bulb + Volume of the cylindrical stem.....
Volume of the wighted bulb = 30cm^3.
Volume of the cylindrical stem = §(pie) * r^2(radius squared) * L1.
.: V1 = 30cm^3 + §r^2h1.
But Cross-sectional area of the cylinder = §r^2 = 1cm^2 (given in the question).
Length of the stem immersed when the hydrometer is floating in water,L1 = 3cm.
.: volume of the hydrometer when floating in water,V1 = 30cm^3 + (1cm^2 * 3cm) = 30cm^3 + 3cm^3 = 33cm^3.

Secondly,

Volume of the hydrometer when floating in the Liquid,V2 = Volume of the weighted bulb + volume of the cylindrical stem....
Volume of the weighted bulb = 30cm^3 ........... and
Volume of the cylindrical stem = §(pie) * r^2(r squared) * L2
.: V2 = 30cm^3 + §r^2L2.
But, cross-sectional area of the cylinder = §r^2 = 1cm^2.
Length of the stem immersed when floating in the liquid,L2 = ?
.: V2 = 30cm^3 + (1cm^2 * L2 cm)
V2 = 30cm^3 + L2 cm^3

Finally,

Upthrust = Volume * density * acceleration due to gravity.
Which implies that:
V1 * d1 * g = V2 * d2 * g
Cancell out the acceleration due to gravity,g, we have:
V1 * d1 = V2 * d2.
From our calculations above,we have that:
V1 = 33cm^3
d1(which is density of water) = 1g/cm^3
V2 = (30 + L2) cm^3
d2(which is density of the liquid) = 0.89g/cm^3

Substituting the values in the equation above,we have:
33 * 1 = (30 + L2) * 0.89
33 = 26.7 + 0.89L2
33 - 26.7 = 0.89L2
6.3 = 0.89L2
.: L2 = 6.3/0.89 = 7.1 cm (approximately).

Density is inversely proportional to height. .

Density of water x height in water = Density of liquid x height in liquid..

Where density of water is 1gcm^3
Height in water is 3cm
Density of liquid is 0.89gcm^3
Height in liquid is unknown

3 x 1 = 0.89 x h

3 = 0.89h

3/0.89 = h

h =3.37cm


Sir,I don't agree with this...

A stone is projected vertically upwards with a velocity of 20ms. Two seconds later, a second stone is projected similarly with the same velocity. When the two stones meet, the second one is rising at a velocity of 10ms. Calculate (i)the length of time the second stone is in motion before they met. (ii) velocity of the first stone when they met. (g=10ms)



i) From V = U - gt (since the body is moving against gravity)...
Initial velocity,U, of the second stone is 20m/s.
Final velocity,V, of the second stone when they met is 10m/s.
.: 10 = 20 - 10t
10-20 = - 10t
-10 = - 10t
.: t = 1 second.

ii) The first stone have travelled for 2 seconds in air before the second stone was projected.
The second stone travelled for 1 second before meeting the first stone.
From the question,the first stone have reached its maximum height and is now falling back when it met the second stone still rising after 1 second.
.: From V = U + gt
Where the initial velocity of the first stone when falling from its maximum height is zero and the time it has fallen before metting the second stone is 1 second.
.: V = 0 + gt
V = gt
V = 10 * 1 = 10m/s
Since the first stone is now falling down ( ie. moving in a direction opposite to its initial direction),....

A ball of mass 10kg strikes a wall normally with a velocity of 5ms-1 and travels back with
the same velocity. Calculate its impulse on the wall.



From F = ma
But, a = V-U/t

Impulse = F * t
Which implies that:
Impulse = Ft = mv-mu.
Final velocity of the ball just before hitting the wall,V, is 5m/s and the initial velocity of the ball after hitting the wall and moving in opposite direction is -(5m/s).
.: The impulse of the ball of mass 10kg on the wall = Ft = mv-(-mu) = mv + mu = (10 * 5) + (10 * 5) = 50 + 50 = 100N.s
