Q3. Of how many carats is the pure gold?
शुद्ध सोना कितने कैरेट का होता है?
(a) 22
(b) 24
(c) 28
(d) 20
Show Answer
Ans.(b)
Sol. It is an extension of the older carat (Karat in North American spelling) system of denoting the purity of gold by fractions of 24, such as ’18 carat’ for an alloy with 75% (18 parts per 24) pure gold, it is usually alloyed with base metals for use in jewellery, altering its hardness and ductility, melting point, colour and other properties. Alloys with lower carat rating typically 22k, 18k, 14k or 10k contain higher percentages of copper or other base metals or silver or palladium in the alloy.

Sol. Mercury is easily the best liquid to use in thermometers, five important reasons are –
It is very reflective, so it’s easy to see and to read accurately.
It doesn’t wet the glass, so you don’t get an inaccurate reading if the temperature is falling.
It is metal, so it’s good conductor of heat.
It expands evenly with the temperature so a linear scale can be used with a high degree of accuracy.
there is a large of range of temperature for which it is a liquid

Sol. Lemon contains citric acid (C6H8O7) which fulfils the deficiency in the body. Due to the lack of vitamin C, one may suffer from Scurvy disease. Citric acid is a weak organic acid found in citrus fruits. Citric acid is most concentrated in lemons and limes, where it can comprise as much as 8% of the dry weight of the fruit. Acetic acid is found in vinegar, while Tartaric acid is found in tamarind.
