In an experiment to study the properties of acetic acid a student takes about 2 mL of acetic acid in a dry test tube. He adds about 2 mL of water to it and shakes the test tube well. He is likely to observe that:      

  •  the acetic acid dissolves readily in water

  • the solution becomes light orange

  • water floats over the surface of acetic acid

  • water floats over the surface of acetic acid

Read the following statements:                                                                        

 

I. When a red litmus paper is dipped into reaction mixture of a saponification reaction, it turns blue and the reaction is exothermic.

II. When a blue litmus paper is dipped into reaction mixture of a saponification reaction, its color does not change and the reaction is exothermic.

III. When a red litmus paper is dipped into reaction mixture of a saponification reaction, its color does not change and the reaction is endothermic.

IV. When a blue litmus paper is dipped into reaction mixture of a saponification reaction, its color does not change and the reaction is endothermic.

Which of the above statements are correct?

  • I, and II

  • II and III

  • III and IV

  • III and IV


A.

I, and II

Soap solution is basic in nature and saponification is an exothermic reaction. Therefore, the red litmus paper is turned to blue.

Color of the blue litmus paper does not change when it is dipped in the soap solution.

A student obtained a sharp image of a burning candle, placed at the farther end of a laboratory table, on a screen using a concave mirror. For getting better value of focal length of the mirror, the subject teacher suggested him for focusing a well illuminated distant object. What should the student do?

  • He should move the mirror away from the screen.

  • He should move the mirror slightly towards the screen.

  • He should move the mirror as well as the screen towards the newly selected object.

  • He should move the mirror as well as the screen towards the newly selected object.
