Answer laterQuestion : ______ Law of independent migration of ions states that limiting the molar conductivity of an electrolyte can be represented as the sum of the individual contributions of the anion and cation of the electrolyte.
Option 1: Schrodinger
Option 2: Feynman
Option 3: Kohlrausch
Option 4: Dirac
Correct Answer: Kohlrausch
Solution : The correct answer is Kohlrausch.
According to Kohlrausch's law of independent ion migration, an electrolyte's limiting molar conductivity can be expressed as the total of the individual contributions made by its cations and anions. Because there are fewer ions available for conduction, a solution's conductivity decreases with dilution.
Question : Which law was studied in the year 1787, in which it was said that the volume of a gas increases with its absolute temperature and if its absolute temperature decreases, its volume will decrease?
Option 1: Boyle’s law
Option 2: Dalton’s law
Option 3: Avogadro’s law
Option 4: Charles's law
Correct Answer: Charles's law
Solution : The correct answer is Charles's law.
Jacques Charles developed Charles' Law, in 1787. At constant pressure, the volume of a given mass of gas is precisely proportional to its temperature, according to this rule. At constant pressure, this is expressed mathematically as V/T = constant.
Question : Comprehension:
Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.
As legend has it, Rome was founded in 753 B.C. by Romulus and Remus, twin sons of Mars, the god of war. They had been left to drown in a basket on the Tiber River by a king of a nearby region and were rescued by a she-wolf. The twins lived to defeat that king and founded their city on the river's banks in 753 B.C. After killing his brother, Romulus became the first king of Rome, which is named after him. A line of Sabine, Latin, and Etruscan (earlier Italian civilisations) kings followed in a non-hereditary succession.
Rome's era as a monarchy ended in 509 B.C. with the overthrow of its seventh king, Lucius Tarquinius Superbus, whom ancient historians portrayed as cruel and tyrannical, compared to his benevolent predecessors. Rome has now turned from a monarchy into a republic.
The power of the monarch passed to two annually elected magistrates called consuls. They also served as commanders-in-chief of the army. The magistrates, though elected by the people, were largely the descendants of the original senators from the time of Romulus. In 450 B.C., the first Roman law code was inscribed on 12 bronze tablets-known as the Twelve Tables—and publicly displayed in the Roman Forum. These laws included issues of legal procedure, civil rights, and property rights and provided the basis for all future Roman civil laws. By around 300 B.C., real political power in Rome was centered in the Senate.
Question:
What is the passage mainly about?
Option 1: The Republic of Rome
Option 2: The history of Rome
Option 3: The Roman code of law
Option 4: Roman myths and legends
Correct Answer: The history of Rome
Solution : The correct choice is the second option.
Explanation: It covers the founding of Rome by Romulus and Remus, the transition from a monarchy to a republic, the role of consuls, the creation of the Roman law code (the Twelve Tables), and the shift of political power to the Senate. While it does touch upon Roman myths and legends regarding the city's foundation, the primary focus is on the historical events that shaped Rome's governance and societal structure over time.
Therefore, the correct answer is the history of Rome.
Question : What is the difference between mandatory and discretionary spending?
Option 1: Mandatory spending is required by law, while discretionary spending is optional
Option 2: Mandatory spending is optional, while discretionary spending is required by law
Option 3: Mandatory spending is for national defense, while discretionary spending is for education
Option 4: Mandatory spending is for social security, while discretionary spending is for healthcare
Correct Answer: Mandatory spending is required by law, while discretionary spending is optional
Solution : The correct answer is (a) Mandatory spending is required by law, while discretionary spending is optional.
Mandatory spending refers to government expenditures that are required by law or statute. These spending obligations are typically established by legislation and include programs such as Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and interest payments on the national debt. The government does not have discretion over the allocation of funds for mandatory spending, as it is legally obligated to make these payments.
It's important to note that while mandatory spending is required by law, it does not necessarily mean that discretionary spending is "optional" in the sense of being nonessential. Discretionary spending is subject to policy priorities and political decisions, but it is still an integral part of the government's overall budget and resource allocation.
