The acid present in curd is:a)Lactic acidb)Citric acidc)Oxalic acidd)Acetic acidCorrect answer is 'A'. Can you explain this answer?
 | Rahul Kapoor answered |
The acid present in curd is lactic acid.The increased acidity causes the milk proteins (casein) to tangle into solid masses, or curds. Milk that has been left to sour (raw milk alone or pasteurized milk with added lactic acid bacteria) will also naturally produce curds, and sour milk cheeses are produced this way.

- D:Urea
The answer is b.
Select the substance which shows acidic behavior in its aqueous solution.
A:
C6H12O6
B:

 | Alisha kapoor answered |
Acid is defined as the substance which dissociates and releases H+ ions in their aqueous states.
The equation for the dissociation of hydrochloric acid is given by:
HCl (aq.) gives H+ (aq.) + OH-(aq)
But molecules like alcohol and glucose and Urea do not produce H+ ions and thus are not considered as acids.

 | Karthik murthy answered |
Reactivity Series:
The reactivity series is a list of metals arranged in order of their decreasing reactivity. The most reactive metal is placed at the top and the least reactive metal is placed at the bottom of the series.
The reactivity series of metals is as follows:
Potassium > Sodium > Calcium > Magnesium > Aluminium > Zinc > Iron > Lead > Copper > Silver > Gold
Explanation:
Aluminium is more reactive than zinc and is placed above zinc in the reactivity series. This is because aluminium has a stronger tendency than zinc to lose electrons and form positive ions.
When aluminium is exposed to air, it reacts with oxygen to form a layer of aluminium oxide. This layer of oxide is very thin and is also very stable. It prevents further reaction of aluminium with oxygen and protects the metal from corrosion.
Zinc, on the other hand, reacts with oxygen in the air to form zinc oxide. However, the layer of oxide formed on zinc is not as stable as the layer of oxide formed on aluminium. Therefore, zinc is more susceptible to corrosion than aluminium.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, aluminium is more reactive than zinc and is placed above zinc in the reactivity series. This means that aluminium can displace zinc from its compounds in a chemical reaction, but zinc cannot displace aluminium from its compounds.

a)
15.0
b)
40.0
c)
30.0
d)
39.0
| | Gaurav Kumar answered |
In a Dobereiner's traid, the atomic mass of the middle element is roughly the average of the atomic mass of the other 2 elements. Thus,
Atomic mass of Q = (at. mass of P+ at. mass of R) /2
⇒ 23 = 7+ m(R) /2
⇒ 23*2 = 7+ m(R)
⇒ 46 -7 = m(R)
⇒ atomic mass of R = 39
Atomic mass of Q = (at. mass of P+ at. mass of R) /2
⇒ 23 = 7+ m(R) /2
⇒ 23*2 = 7+ m(R)
⇒ 46 -7 = m(R)
⇒ atomic mass of R = 39

b)
Presence of free electrons
c)

 | Rohini Seth answered |
The lustre of a metal is due to presence of free electrons.
It has to do with the way light and electrons on the surface of metals interact. The outer electrons in a metal are almost not bound to any individual atom, thus are relatively free, and are concentrated on the surface. These electrons (electron density) tend to oscillate at a collective frequency.

14 elements
The same holds for the actinide series that runs from atomic number 90 through to number 103, again 14 elements. Thus, as you move from thorium (Th) at element number 90, you begin to fill up the 5f sublevel and continue to fill up the 5f sublevel until you finish the actinide series at lawrencium (Lr).
