Question 61. The organic reaction represented by equation CH3 - CH = O + H2NOH gives CH3 - CH - NH + H2O is an example of
  1.    an addition reaction
  2.    a condensation reaction
  3.    an oxidation reaction
  4.    an elimination reaction
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> a condensation reaction
The organic reaction represented by equation CH3 - CH = O + H2NOH gives CH3 - CH - NH + H2O is an example of a condensation reaction.
Question 62. The number of electrons presents in H+ is
  1.    zero
  2.    one
  3.    two
  4.    three
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> zero
H+ is a hydrogen ion, and it is an ion because it LOST an electron. Electrons are negatively charged. When an atom gains electrons it will have NEGATIVE charges.
So it has zero electron.
Question 63. The main buffer system of the human blood is
  1.    H2CO3 - HCO3
  2.    H2CO3 - CO32-
  3.    CH3COOH - CH3COO-
  4.    NH2CONH2 - NH2CONH+
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> H2CO3 - HCO3
Bicarbonate buffer is the most important buffer system in blood plasma (generally in the extracellular fluid). This buffer consists of weak acid H2CO3(pK1 = 6,1) and conjugated base HCO3- (bicarbonate).
Question 64. The most commonly used bleaching agent is
  1.    alcohol
  2.    carbon dioxide
  3.    chlorine
  4.    sodium chlorine
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> chlorine
Most commonly used bleaching agent is chlorine. The most widely used bleach in the United States is liquid chlorine bleach, an alkaline aqueous solution of sodium hypochlorite.
Question 65. The nucleus of a hydrogen atom consists of
  1.    1 proton only
  2.    1 proton + 2 neutron
  3.    1 neutron only
  4.    1 electron only
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 1 proton only
Most hydrogen atoms have nuclei that consist of a single proton, but a small fraction (about 0.015 percent) of the hydrogen atoms that occur in Nature have one neutron in addition to the proton in their nuclei.
Question 66. The gas present in the stratosphere which filters out some of the sun's ultraviolet light and provides an effective shield against radiation damage to living things is
  1.    helium
  2.    ozone
  3.    oxygen
  4.    methane
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> ozone
Although ozone (O3) is present in small concentrations throughout the atmosphere, most ozone (about 90%) exists in the stratosphere, in a layer between 10 and 50 km above the surface of the earth. This ozone layer performs the essential task of filtering out most of the sun's biologically harmful UV radiation.
Question 67. The heat required to raise the temperature of body by 1 K is called
  1.    specific heat
  2.    thermal capacity
  3.    water equivalent
  4.    None of the above
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> thermal capacity
The heat required to raise the temperature of a body by 1 K is called thermal capacity. In other words, when q is the heat supplied to the body and the temperature raises by 1 K, then the thermal capacity of body is q.
Question 68. The first metal used by man was
  1.    iron
  2.    copper
  3.    gold
  4.    bronze
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> copper
Copper was first used by man over 10,000 years ago. A copper pendant discovered in what is now northern Iraq has been dated about 8700 B.C. For nearly five millennia copper was the only metal known to man, and thus had all the metal applications.
Question 69. The following are the half lives of four active isotopes. Which one of the following is the most dangerous to handle?
  1.    3 billion years
  2.    100 years
  3.    0.01 minute
  4.    13 days
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 0.01 minute
0.01 minute is the most dangerous to handle.
Question 70. The method that cannot be used for removing permanent hardness of water is
  1.    adding sodium carbonate
  2.    distillation
  3.    adding caustic soda
  4.    boiling
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> boiling
Permanent hardness of water cannot be removed by simple physical methods like boiling, filtering and distillation.
