Well its just that you try each organic vompound with 8 molecules of oxygen and see if it will be balanced or not.

I agree with you. It should be C. It says concentrated aqueous sodium Chloride....because it's aqueous hydrogen should be discharged at the Cathode,and hum Chlorine at the anode. What year is this? is it May/june 2009??

View attachment 32892
The answer is D, how come?
Chlorine is bubbled at anode so it should be red and at anode colourless at cathode since it is hydrogen??! 2009 winter-paper 12


D is right.
Because after Chloride ions get to Anode, they will escape as Chlorine gas.
Hydrogen ions will leave as Hydrogen gas on Cathode.
Leaving behind a solution of Sodium and Hydroxide ions.
That's an alkaline solution of Sodium Hydroxide. That's why the color of the Universal indicator will be Purple/Blue.

C is wrong. How will the bubbling of Chlorine make the Universal indicator RED?

The answer is D because the solution is concentrated. It has OH- AND H ions too. H being less reactive than sodium gets deposited on the cathode thus it is colourless. At the anode , purple colour is formed due to the presence of an indicator.

Physics doubt-
The answer is A(Summer 2006 paper 1)


ok, i'll try my best at it.

So, the formula for calculating thermal capacity is "c=Q/delta T
c- thermal capacity
Q- Quantity of heat needed to raise temp from T(initial) to T(final)
delta T- change in temperature. (which in this case will be the rise in temperature)

so if u substitue, assuming Q is kept constant, "c"(thermal capacity) of the first block is the greatest.

In the original CIE exam, the MCQ sheet shows a 'Directions' Bar on the left side of the paper which shows how to mark your choice.
On other papers (if you mean to ask about school MCQ sheets), it depends on what type of answer sheet they give you.
And, to be honest, i guess the 'School MCQ sheets' don't matter much.

I am not sure if we circle or shade in the MCQ paper sheet but I'm SURE that you have to use a PENCIL .

B Gravitational Energy. Tides are produced due to the pull of the moon, which is due to the moons gravity.
