Which of the following reactions can bring about chlorination of cyclohexane?
  • a)
  • b)
  • c)
  • d)
Correct answer is option 'A,C'. Can you explain this answer?

Knowledge Hub answered
For SO2Cl2: The reactivity patterns of SO2Cl2 and SOCl2 are quite different. SOCl2 is a good electrophile, and can be thought of as a source of Cl− ions. These ions can go on to react in their typical nucleophilic fashion. SO2Cl2 however is often a Cl2 source, as it readily decomposes giving off sulfur dioxide. Usually, much easier/safer to use this than measuring out (and getting into solution) chlorine gas. The chlorination of simple alkanes by Cl2 gas (or something that makes it in solution) happens by a radical mechanism i.e. Cl⋅ not Cl
For Cl2 and heat/light:
For Cl with AlCl3: It is used for chlorination of compounds like benzene
For HCl: It is used for halogenations of a double bond.

  • c)
    muscle bundles →→ muscle cells →→ muscle fibres →→ sarcomere
  • d)
    fascia →→ muscle cells →→ myofibrils →→ sarcomere
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Pooja Saha answered
Each organised skeletal muscle in our body is made of a number of muscle bundles or fascicles held together by a common collagenous connective tissue layer called fascia. Each muscle bundle contains a number of muscle fibres. A characteristic feature of the muscle fibre is the presence of a large number of parallelly arranged filaments in the sarcoplasm called myofilaments or myofibrils. The portion of the myofibril between two successive ‘Z’ lines is considered as the functional unit of contraction and is called a sarcomere.

How many different monochlorination products would be obtained on free radical chlorination of methyl cyclobutane?

    Riya Banerjee answered
    After free radical halogenation of methyl cyclobutane, we have its 8different isomers. They are as follow:-


    From i) and ii), we get only positional isomers. From iii) we will have 2 isomers, cis and Trans. They won't show a chiral centre.
    In iv) we have 2 chiral centres which will give us 4 isomers.So, in total there would be 4+2+1+1 = 8 isomers.

    The major monobromination product which results when ethyl cyclohexane is subjected to free radical bromination, is
    • a)
    • b)
    • c)
    • d)
    Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?


    Free radical bromination reaction is highly selective, occurs mainly at the carbon where most stable free radical is formed.
    We know that the stability of free radical is in the order,
    Tertiary radical > Secondary radical > Primary radical
    In (a), (b) and (c), the bromination occurs at secondary carbon whereas in (d) the bromination occurs at tertiary carbon. Since, tertiary radicals are more stable than secondary radical the major product of monobromination of ethyl cyclohexane is (d).
    The stability of tertiary radical is due to the higher number of α−Hygrogens which give more hyperconjugation effect than secondary.

      65.0 J
    • d)
      75.0 J
    Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

    Athira Chavan answered
    Understanding Internal Energy Change
    The internal energy change (ΔU) of an ideal gas can be calculated using the formula:
    ΔU = n * C_v * ΔT
    Where:
    - n = number of moles
    - C_v = molar specific heat at constant volume
    - ΔT = change in temperature
    Parameters for Helium Gas
    - Helium is a monoatomic ideal gas.
    - For monoatomic gases, C_v is approximately 3/2 R, where R is the ideal gas constant (8.314 J/mol·K).
    Calculation Steps
    1. Identify Variables:
    - n = 3.00 mol (given)
    - C_v = (3/2) * R = (3/2) * 8.314 J/mol·K = 12.471 J/mol·K
    - ΔT = 2.00 K (given)
    2. Plug in Values:
    ΔU = n * C_v * ΔT
    ΔU = 3.00 mol * 12.471 J/mol·K * 2.00 K
    3. Perform the Calculation:
    - ΔU = 3.00 * 12.471 * 2.00
    - ΔU = 3.00 * 24.942
    - ΔU = 74.826 J (approximately 75.0 J)
    Conclusion
    The calculated change in internal energy for 3.00 mol of helium gas when the temperature is increased by 2.00 K is approximately 75.0 J. Therefore, the correct answer is option 'D', which aligns with the calculated value.

    Which of these join the skull bones to each other to form the cranium?
    • a)
      Specialized connective tissue
    • b)
      Loose fibrous connective tissues
    • c)
      Dense fibrous connective tissues
    • d)
      Dense irregular connective tissue
    Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

    Juhi Reddy answered
    The correct answer is option 'c' - dense fibrous connective tissues.

    Explanation:
    The cranium, also known as the skull, is the protective bony structure that surrounds and encloses the brain. It consists of several bones that join together to form a strong and rigid structure. These bones are connected to each other by dense fibrous connective tissues, which help to provide strength and stability to the cranium.

    Here is a detailed explanation of why dense fibrous connective tissues are responsible for joining the skull bones together to form the cranium:

    1. Function of connective tissues:
    Connective tissues are a type of tissue that provide support and connect different structures in the body. They consist of cells and an extracellular matrix that contains fibers and ground substance. Connective tissues have various functions, including providing structural support, protecting organs, and connecting tissues and organs together.

    2. Types of connective tissues:
    There are several types of connective tissues in the body, including loose fibrous connective tissues, dense fibrous connective tissues, specialized connective tissues, and dense irregular connective tissues. Each type of connective tissue has different properties and functions.

    3. Dense fibrous connective tissues:
    Dense fibrous connective tissues are characterized by a high density of collagen fibers arranged in a parallel fashion. These fibers provide strength and resistance to tension forces. Dense fibrous connective tissues are found in structures that require strength and stability, such as tendons, ligaments, and the outer layer of bones.

    4. Role in the cranium:
    In the cranium, the dense fibrous connective tissues join the skull bones together at specialized joints called sutures. Sutures are fibrous joints that allow slight movement between the bones during growth and development but become fused and immovable in adulthood. The dense fibrous connective tissues in the sutures help to hold the skull bones firmly together, providing stability and protection to the brain.

    5. Importance of strong connections:
    The dense fibrous connective tissues in the cranium are essential for maintaining the structural integrity of the skull and protecting the brain from injury. Without these strong connections, the skull bones would be more prone to dislocation or fracture, which could lead to severe damage to the brain.

    In conclusion, dense fibrous connective tissues join the skull bones together to form the cranium. These tissues provide strength, stability, and protection to the brain by forming strong connections between the bones at the sutures.

    In which case are the atoms relatively rigidly fixed?
    • a)
      gases
    • b)
      liquids and gases
    • c)
      solids
    • d)
      liquids
    Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

    Pranav Saha answered
    Explanation:
    Atoms in a gas are well separated with no regular arrangement. Atoms vibrate and move freely at high speeds
    Atoms in a liquid are close together with no regular arrangement. Atoms vibrate, move about, and slide past each other.
    Atoms in a solid are tightly packed, usually in a regular pattern. Atoms vibrate (jiggle) but generally do not move from place to place.

    According to Atomic Hypothesis: little particles of atom
    • a)
      attract each other when they are at small distance apart, but repel upon being squeezed into one another
    • b)
      repel each other when they are at small distance apart, but attract upon being squeezed into one another
    • c)
      repel each other when they are at small distance apart, but repel upon being squeezed into one another
    • d)
      repel each other when they are at large distance apart, but attract upon being separated from one another
    Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

    Saikat Sharma answered
    Explanation:At room temperature (=300K) the noble gases are all in the gas phase, they are banging around and colliding into one another like little pool balls. At this temperature, when the atoms collide they appear to elastically bounce off of one another, but this bounce is actually a result of atomic repulsion. The atoms are traveling so fast and they approach each other so quickly that their momentum 'squeezes' them together until the atomic repulsion pushes them back apart.

    Which one of the following membranes secretes a watery fluid that lubricates and cushions the joint?
    • a)
      Tendons
    • b)
      Synovial membrane
    • c)
      Ligaments
    • d)
      Cartilage
    Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

    Rishika Kaur answered
    Answer:

    The correct answer is option 'B', the synovial membrane.

    The synovial membrane is a specialized connective tissue membrane that lines the inner surface of joint cavities. It is responsible for secreting synovial fluid, a watery fluid that lubricates and cushions the joint.

    Function of the synovial membrane:
    The synovial membrane has several important functions in the joint:

    1. Synovial fluid production: The synovial membrane secretes synovial fluid, which is a viscous, lubricating fluid. This fluid helps to reduce friction between the articular surfaces of the joint during movement.

    2. Lubrication: The synovial fluid acts as a lubricant, allowing for smooth movement of the joint. It reduces friction and wear between the articulating surfaces of the bones.

    3. Cushioning: The synovial fluid also acts as a shock absorber, providing cushioning and protecting the joint from excessive forces and impact during movement.

    4. Nutrient supply: The synovial fluid carries nutrients to the articular cartilage, which does not have a direct blood supply. This helps to maintain the health and function of the cartilage.

    5. Waste removal: The synovial fluid also helps to remove metabolic waste products from the joint, contributing to the overall health and function of the joint.

    Composition of synovial fluid:
    Synovial fluid is a clear, viscous fluid composed of several components, including:

    1. Water: Water makes up the majority of synovial fluid, providing the fluidity and lubrication required for joint movement.

    2. Hydrated hyaluronic acid: Hyaluronic acid is a high-molecular-weight glycosaminoglycan that helps to maintain the viscosity and lubricating properties of the synovial fluid.

    3. Proteins: Synovial fluid contains various proteins, including albumin and globulins, which help to maintain the osmotic balance and provide nourishment to the articular cartilage.

    4. Cells: The synovial fluid may contain a small number of white blood cells, which are responsible for the immune response and inflammation regulation within the joint.

    In conclusion, the synovial membrane secretes synovial fluid, which plays a crucial role in lubricating and cushioning the joint. This fluid helps to reduce friction, protect the joint from excessive forces, provide nutrients to the cartilage, and remove waste products. The synovial membrane and synovial fluid are essential for maintaining the health and proper function of the joint.

    A meromyosin molecule doesn’t contain :
    • a)
      arm
    • b)
      trunk
    • c)
      tail
    • d)
      head
    Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

    Understanding Meromyosin Structure
    Meromyosin is a fragment of myosin, a crucial protein involved in muscle contraction. To comprehend what a meromyosin molecule contains or lacks, we must examine its structure closely.
    Components of Myosin
    - Myosin is typically composed of three main parts:
    - Head: This portion binds to actin and has ATPase activity, facilitating muscle contractions.
    - Tail: The tail region helps in dimerization and interacts with other myosin molecules, providing structural integrity to thick filaments.
    - Arm: The arm connects the head to the tail, allowing flexibility and movement during contraction.
    Defining Meromyosin
    - Meromyosin is derived from myosin through limited proteolysis. It is generally divided into two parts:
    - Heavy meromyosin (HMM): Contains the head and part of the tail.
    - Light meromyosin (LMM): Comprises the remaining tail region.
    Why Option B is Correct
    - When examining the components of meromyosin, the term "trunk" is not a recognized structure within myosin or meromyosin.
    - Therefore, in the context of the options provided:
    - Arm: Present in meromyosin as it connects the head to the tail.
    - Tail: Present in the form of heavy meromyosin.
    - Head: Present as part of heavy meromyosin.
    Conclusion
    In summary, the correct answer is option 'B' (trunk), as meromyosin does not contain any structure referred to as a "trunk." Understanding these components is essential for grasping the mechanics of muscle contraction in the NEET syllabus.

    ii. Saddle is a type of synovial joint
    • a)
      both are wrong
    • b)
      Statement i) is correct and ii) is wrong.
    • c)
      both are correct
    • d)
      Statement ii) is wrong and i) is correct.
    Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

    Manasa Nair answered
    Explanation:

    Statement i:
    - The synovial joint is characterized by the presence of a fluid-filled synovial cavity between the articulating surfaces of the two bones. This fluid helps to reduce friction between the bones during movement and provides nourishment to the joint structures.

    Statement ii:
    - Saddle is a type of synovial joint. A saddle joint is a type of synovial joint that allows movement in two planes, similar to the movement of a rider on a saddle. This type of joint is found in the thumb, specifically at the carpometacarpal joint.
    Therefore, both statements are correct. The first statement describes a key feature of synovial joints, while the second statement correctly identifies the saddle joint as a type of synovial joint.

    Vertebral Formula of Humans

    The vertebral formula refers to the number and type of vertebrae present in the human spine. It provides a standardized way of describing the arrangement of vertebrae in different regions of the spine. The correct vertebral formula for humans is option 'D': C7T12L5S(5)C(4).

    Here is a breakdown of the vertebral formula and an explanation of each component:

    1. C7: This indicates that there are 7 cervical vertebrae in the human spine. The cervical vertebrae are located in the neck region and are numbered from C1 to C7.

    2. T12: This indicates that there are 12 thoracic vertebrae in the human spine. The thoracic vertebrae are located in the upper back region and are numbered from T1 to T12. These vertebrae are associated with the ribs.

    3. L5: This indicates that there are 5 lumbar vertebrae in the human spine. The lumbar vertebrae are located in the lower back region and are numbered from L1 to L5. These vertebrae are the largest and support the weight of the upper body.

    4. S(5): This indicates that there are 5 sacral vertebrae in the human spine. The sacral vertebrae are fused together to form the sacrum, which is a triangular bone located between the hip bones. The sacrum provides stability to the pelvis.

    5. C(4): This indicates that there are 4 coccygeal vertebrae in the human spine. The coccygeal vertebrae are also fused together to form the coccyx, commonly known as the tailbone. The coccyx is a vestigial structure with no specific function in humans.

    Therefore, the vertebral formula 'C7T12L5S(5)C(4)' accurately represents the arrangement of vertebrae in the human spine.

    Conclusion:
    The correct vertebral formula for humans is 'C7T12L5S(5)C(4)'. This formula indicates that humans have 7 cervical, 12 thoracic, 5 lumbar, 5 sacral, and 4 coccygeal vertebrae. Understanding the vertebral formula helps in accurately describing the anatomical structure and function of the human spine.

    What is/are true regarding free radical iodination of an alkane?

    Correct answer is option 'B,C'. Can you explain this answer?

    Anirban Shah answered
    The statements (B) and (C) are true regarding free radical iodination of the alkane.

    (B) Direct iodination of alkane with iodine in presence of light is impractical.
    During this reaction, Hl, a strong reducing agent is obtained as byproduct, which catalyzes the reverse reaction thereby preventing direct iodination of alkane.

    (C) Iodination of alkane can be achieved successfully using an oxidizing agent catalyst. 
    Presence of an oxidizing agent oxidizes unwanted byproduct Hl and enables iodination of alkane to proceed.

    Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

    Ishan Ghosh answered


    Explanation:

    Kinetic Theory of Gases and Specific Heat Capacities:

    The kinetic theory of gases is a model that describes the behavior of gases based on the motion of their particles. When it comes to specific heat capacities, the kinetic theory of gases correctly explains the specific heat capacities of many gases.

    Specific Heat Capacities of Gases:

    - According to the kinetic theory of gases, the specific heat capacity of a gas is related to the degrees of freedom of its molecules.
    - The specific heat capacity of a gas depends on the translational, rotational, and vibrational motions of its molecules.
    - The kinetic theory predicts that for monatomic gases, which have only translational motion, the specific heat capacity at constant volume is 3/2 R, where R is the gas constant.
    - For diatomic gases, which can also rotate, the specific heat capacity at constant volume is 5/2 R.

    Experimental Evidence:

    - Experimental measurements of specific heat capacities of gases have been found to be in good agreement with the predictions of the kinetic theory.
    - This provides strong evidence that the kinetic theory of gases correctly explains the specific heat capacities of many gases.

    Therefore, option A is correct as the kinetic theory of gases correctly explains the specific heat capacities of many gases based on the motion of their particles.

    The molecule of a monatomic gas has only three translational degrees of freedom. Thus, the average energy of a molecule at temperature 'T' is __________.
    • a)
      3kB​T
    • b)
      (1/3)kB​T
    • c)
      (3/2)kBT
    • d)
      (3/4)kBT
    Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

    Understanding Degrees of Freedom
    In thermodynamics, the degrees of freedom of a molecule refer to the number of independent ways in which it can move. For a monatomic gas, the gas molecules can move in three-dimensional space, resulting in three translational degrees of freedom.
    Energy and Temperature Relationship
    The average energy of a molecule in a gas is related to its temperature through the equipartition theorem. This theorem states that each degree of freedom contributes an average energy of (1/2)kBT, where kB is the Boltzmann constant and T is the absolute temperature.
    Calculation of Average Energy
    Since a monatomic gas has three translational degrees of freedom, we can calculate the average energy as follows:
    - Each degree of freedom contributes (1/2)kBT.
    - Therefore, for three degrees of freedom:
    - Total average energy = 3 * (1/2)kBT = (3/2)kBT.
    Conclusion
    Thus, the average energy of a molecule in a monatomic gas at temperature T is:
    - (3/2)kBT.
    This is why option 'C' is correct. The average energy reflects the kinetic energy associated with the translational motion of the gas molecules. Understanding these principles is crucial for grasping the behavior of gases in thermodynamics.
