The test tube must be dry because any water or chemicals in the test tube may affect the experiment and consequently the result
Ethanol emulsifies fats (fats are soluble in ethanol). If we added water first, then there would be no reaction. When the lipids dissolve in ethanol, they will precipitate in water
ohkay..........thx:cool:

Alkalis react with ammonium salts to give off ammonia gas. The first 3 are basic oxides so D's the answer.
Thanks, but its quite an old post, and I already got the answer :D

btw. here are the star notes
Note on star formation
If there is any problem regarding the visual display of text, do tell me; i will type it again

Can somebody explain the concept behind this one?
This is the refraction part. In deeper water the wavelength is longer whereas is shallow water the wavelength becomes shorter. And when a ray moves from a denser (deeper water) to rare medium (shallow water) it bends away from the normal.

here you will use the idea of combined resistance
now calculate the combined resistance in a parallel circuit
r1*r2/r1+r2
3*3/3+3=1.5 ohm
then at series circuit
R1+R2+R3.....
now 1.5+4.5=6 ohm
this is total resistance b/w X and Y
for this we have to close all switches so i don't think it is a B, it is A
anyways which year is it so i'll check the m.s

If S3 is closed the current will bypass 4.5 ohm resistor so resistance b/t X and Y will fall to 1.5 ohm.

You need to enlarge the point (8,2) from center (1,2). Count the number of units from the center to (8,2). It's +7. Multiply that by the scale factor, -2 and you get -14. This means you move 14 units to the left from the center, which gives you (-13,2)

I know that method. That is the method I used to get the answer but I was also getting A. I checked the marking scheme and it says B
It is oct/nov 2013 p11
