Q:

Which one of the following orders presents the correct sequence of the increasing basic nature of the given oxides?

(1) $K_{2} O < N a_{2} O < A l_{2} O_{3} < M g O$

(2) $A l_{2} O_{3} < M g O < N a_{2} O < K_{2} O$

(3) $M g O < K_{2} O < A l_{2} O_{3} < N a_{2} O$

(4) $N a_{2} O < K_{2} O < M g O < A l_{2} O_{3}$

A) Option 1	B) Option 2
C) Option 3	D) Option 4

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Option 2

Explanation:

While moving from left to right in periodic table basic character of oxide of elements will decrease.

$∴ \to_{I n c r e a \sin g b a s i c s t r e n g t h}^{A l_{2} O_{3} < M g O < N a_{2} O}$

and while descending in the group basic character of corresponding oxides increases.

$∴ \to_{I n c r e a \sin g b a s i c s t r e n g t h}^{N a_{2} O < K_{2} O}$

$∴ C o r r e c t O r d e r i s A l_{2} O_{3} < M g O < N a_{2} O < K_{2} O$

Q:

Iam looking to estimate the cost on a project, but I don't want to spend a lot of time on a detailed analysis. I really want a ballpark figure. What options do I have?

A) None - Cost estimating requires details to be accurate	B) Use the cost of similar projects
C) Use a rule-of-thumb or per-square-foot estimate	D) Add up the costs on the WBS

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Use the cost of similar projects

Explanation:

Although it is less accurate than adding up individual costs from the WBS, it is less time consuming. The trade-off is accuracy. Answer A is incorrect because to do a more accurate cost estimate, you need to delve into details. Answer C is tempting also, and possible, except we don't really know if the project in question can use perametric modeling . Answer D is incorrect because it takes the most time, but it is most accurate.
