Chemistry Questions

A colored ion generally indicates a transition metal.

Sucrose is not a monosaccharide.

Monosaccharides are simple carbohydrates molecules that cannot be broken down into smaller molecules of other carbohydrates.

Glucose, galactose and fructose are examples of Monosaccharides.

The Aufbau Principle states that in the ground state of an atom, an electron enters the orbital with lowest energy first and subsequent electrons are fed in the order of increasing energies.

A 40% solution of Formaldehyde known as Formalin is used in the preservation of biological specimens because of its hardening action on proteins. 

Normality is a way of expressing concentration of a solution and can be calculated by the formula-

Normality (N) = No. of gram equivalent of solute/ volume of solution (in litre)

Gram equivalent weight of H2 SO4 = Molecular weight/ No. of Hydrogen atom = 98/2 = 49 gm

No. of gram equivalent in 49 gm of H2 SO4 = 1

So, Normality in 1 litre of solution = 1/1 = 1 N

A metalloid is an element with properties between metals and non metals or the mix of both.

The six metalloids are arsenic, silicon, germanium, boron, antimony and tellurium.

Hence, silicon is the only metalloid in the given list.

Dust particles such as coal dust(smoke) are fine particle of a solid (carbon in the case of smoke) dispersed in air. They are colloidal systems and the particles are charged either positive or negative. In an applied electrical field, they are attracted towards the opposite electrodes. Movement of the particles towards the electrodes is known as 'electrophoresis'. Hence electrophoresis is applied to remove smoke within the chimeny itself without allowing it to escape into the air and cause nuisance.
