Ques 16: Explain the following in terms of gain or loss of oxygen with two examples each.

(a) Oxidation

(b) Reduction


Ans 16: (a) Oxidation is the gain of oxygen or the        loss of electron.  

For example:


In equation (i), H2 is oxidised to H2O and in   equation   (ii), Cu is oxidised to Cu O. 

(b) Reduction is the loss of oxygen.

For example:

In equation (i), CO2 is reduced to CO and in 

equation (ii), CuO is reduced to Cu.

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...

Banking of road || Inclination of road || Physics || Class 11 ||

                    Banking of road The maximum permissible velocity with which vehicle can go round a level curved road without skidding depends on the coefficient of friction ( μ)  between the tyres and the road The value of  μ  decreases when road is smooth or tyres of the vehicle are worn out or the road is wet and so on. Thus force of friction is not a reliable source for providing the required centripetal force to the vehicle. A safer course of action would be to raise outer edge of the curved road shove the inner edge. By doing so, a component of normal reaction of the road shall be spared to provide the centripetal force. This phenomenon of raising outer edge of the curved road above the inner edge is called banking of roads . It's facilitates vehicles to turn without slipping. Three forces are acting on the vehicle as shown in Figure below.  (i) Weight mg of the vehicle acting vertically downwards.  (ii)...

Conservation of momentum in a collision between particles can be understood from

Ques : Conservation of momentum in a collision between particles/bodies can be understood from (a) Conservation of energy (b) Newton’s second law only (c) Newton’s first law only (d) Both Newton’s second and third law Ans : (d) Both Newton’s second and third law If there is no external force acting on a system (called isolated) of constant mass, the total  momentum of the system remains constant(no change) with time. For a two system of particles in absence of any external force by law of conservation of linear  momentum. Important point: We should not confuse with the system and the individual particles. As total external force on the system of both particles is zero but force acts on individual particles.  Law of conservation of linear momentum is independent of frame of reference(ground level or at some height) while linear momentum depends on frame of reference.
