What is diagonal relationship right type of relationship between lithium and magnesium. |
|
Answer» Diagonal Relationship of Lithium with Magnesium The main points of similarity : (1) Both have almost similar electronegativities. (2) Both Li and Mg are quite hard. They are harder and lighter than other elements in their respective groups. (3) Both LiOH and Mg(OH)2 are weak bases. (4) Both form ionic nitrides when heated in atmosphere of Nitrogen. 6 Li + N2 → 2 Li3N 3 Mg + N2 → 2 Mg3N2 (5) The hydroxides of both lithium and magnesium decompose upon heating. 2 LiOH → Li2O + H2O Mg(OH)2 → MgO + H2O (6) Both lithium and magnesium combine with oxygen to form monooxide while other members of their respective groups form peroxide and superoxide. 4 Li + O2 → 2 Li2O 2 Mg + O2 → 2 MgO The Li2O and MgO thus formed do not combine with excess O2 to form peroxide and superoxide. (7) The carbonates of these metals decompose on heating to the corresponding oxides with the evolution of carbon dioxide. Li2CO3 → Li2O + CO2 MgCO3 → MgO + CO2 (8) Both Lithium and magnesium do not form solid bicarbonates. (9) Both Lithium and magnesium nitrate decompose on heating producing nitrogen dioxide. 4 LiNO3 → 2 Li2O + 4 NO2 + O2 2 Mg(NO3)2 → MgO + 4 NO2 + O2 (10) The hydroxides, carbonate, oxalates, phosphates and fluorides of both Lithium and magnesium are sparingly soluble in water. (11) Because of the covalent character, LiCl and MgCl2 are soluble in ethanol. (12) Both Lithium perchlorate and magnesium perchlorate are highly soluble in ethanol. (13) LiCl and MgCl2 are deliquescent and crystallise from aqueous solution as hydrate LiCl·2 H2O and MgCl2 ·6 H2O. |

Recognition of an antigenic protein of a pathogen or exposure to a pathogen occurs during many types of immune responses, including active immunity and induced active immunity. Specify the types of responses elicited when human beings get encountered by a pathogen. |
|
Answer» ● When our body encounters an antigenic protein or a pathogen for the first time it produces a response which is of low intensity and our body retains memory of the first encounter. ● The subsequent encounter with the same pathogen elicits a highly intensified response carried out with the help of two special types of lymphocytes present in our blood, B- lymphocytes, and T-lymphocytes. ● The B-lymphocytes produce an army of proteins in response to these pathogens into our blood to fight with them. These proteins are called antibodies. The T-cells themselves do not secrete antibodies but help B-cells produce them. |

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 1152 ltr GIVEN: Time taken by outlet pipe to empty = 24 hours Time taken by both inlet and outlet pipes to fill = 16 hours Rate of filling of inlet pipe = 2 ltr/min EXPLANATION: Time taken by outlet pipe to empty = 24 hours Time taken by both inlet and outlet pipes to fill = 16 hours LCM of 24 and 16 is 48 so, let the capacity of the tank be 48 units Per hour efficiency of outlet pipe = \(\frac{48}{24}= -2\) units/hour (here '-' sign indicates outlet) Per hour efficiency of both pipes together = \(\frac{48}{16}=3\) units/hour Per hour efficiency of inlet pipe = Per hour efficiency of both pipes together - Per hour efficiency of the outlet pipe \(\Rightarrow 3-(-2)=3+2=5 units/hour\) 5 units/hour = \(\frac1{12}\) units/min \(\frac1{12}\) units/min = 2 ltr/min \(\frac1{12}\) units = 2 ltr 1 unit = 24 ltr Capacity of tank 48 units = 48 \(\times\) 24 = 1152 ltr |

Two numbers are in the ratio 7 ∶ 11 and their HCF is 5. Find the difference in the numbers.1. 202. 253. 384. 32 |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 20 Given: The ratios of numbers are 7 ∶ 11 and HCF of number is 5 Concept Used: Basic concept of ratio and HCF Calculation: Let the numbers are in the ratio 7x ∶ 11x and we know that HCF is the common factors in both the numbers ∴ HCF of (7x and 11x) = x Now, HCF of numbers is 5 ∴ x = 5 Now, the numbers are in the ratio 7x ∶ 11x So, the numbers are 35 and 55 ∴ Difference of numbers will be = 55 - 35 = 20 Hence, option (1) is correct |

A man purchased an old typewriter at Rs 19200, and spent some amount on its repair. He sold it for Rs 24150, and earned a profit of 15%. Find the amount he spend on the repair of the old typewriter.1. Rs 12002. Rs 18003. Rs 21004. Rs 1500 |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : Rs 1800 Given: Cost price of old typewriter = Rs 19200 Selling price of old typewriter = Rs 24150 Profit = 15% Formula Used: Selling price = (Cost price + amount spend on repairing) × (100 + profit %)/100 Calculation: Let the amount spend on repairing of typewriter be x. Selling price = (Cost price + amount spend on repairing) × (100 + profit %)/100 ⇒ 24150 = (19200 + x) × (100 + 15)/100 ⇒ 24150 = (19200 + x) × 115/100 ⇒ 19200 + x = 24150 × 100/115 ⇒ 19200 + x = 21000 ⇒ x = 21000 – 19200 ⇒ x = 1800 ∴ The amount spend on repairing of old typewriter is Rs 1800. |

Find the largest number by which when 270, 675 and 1215 are divided, leave equal remainder in each case.A. 45B. 135C. 270D. 751. D2. B3. C4. A |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : B Given: Numbers are 270, 675, 1215 Calculation: Let us assume that the remainder left is m So, numbers that are completely divisible are ⇒ 270 – m, 675 – m, 1215 – m Now subtract the pair ⇒ 675 – m – 270 + m = 405 ----1 ⇒ 1215 – m – 675 + m = 540 ----2 Now find the HCF of 405 and 540 ⇒ 405 = 135 × 3 ⇒ 540 = 135 × 4 HCF of 405 and 540 = 135 ∴ The largest number by which 270, 675 and 1215 are divided, leave the equal remainder in each case is 135 |
