Ques : 2.0 gram of a metal burst in oxygen give 3.2 gram of its oxide. 1.42 gram of the same metal heat in steam give 2.27 gram of its oxide which toys shown by this data?  Ans : In the first compound, 3.2 gram of metal oxide contained 2.0 gram of metal 100 gram of metal oxide contained metal =2.0/3.2 × 100= 62.5 g :· % metal in first compound= 62.5% In the second compound, 2.27 gram of metal oxide contains metal = 1.42 gram 100 gram of metal oxide contains the metal= 1.42/2.27×100=62.55 gram :· % metal in first compound= 62.55% Thus, the percentage of metal in metal oxide obtained from to experiment is nearly same. Hence, the above data illustrate the law of constant composition.  <<   Previous                                                       Next   >>

Ques 1: What is the importance of DNA copying in reproduction?   Ans 1: DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) is the genetic material found in the chromosomes, present in the nucleus of the cell. The DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) is the information site for making proteins and each specific type of protein leads to the specific type of body design.  Thus, it is the DNA molecule that specifies the body design of an individual. Therefore, it can be concluded that it is the DNA that gets transferred from parents to their offsprings and makes them look similar.   Ques 2: Why is variation beneficial to the species but not necessarily for the individual?   Ans 2: Variations are beneficial to the species than individual because s sometimes for a species,  the environmental conditions change so drastically that their survival becomes difficult.   For example, if the temperature of water increases suddenly, then most of the bacteria living in that wate...
