When carbondioxide is bubbled into limewater a white precipitate is formed. If the passage of the gas is continued, the precipitate disappears. The reason for this is calcium carbonate is formed which on reaction with further carbondioxide forms solube calcium hydrogen carbonate.
When excess of carbon dioxide gas is passed through lime water then the white precipitate calcium carbonate formed first dissolves due to the formation of a soluble salt calcium hydrogen carbonate (Ca(HCO3)2, and the Solution becomes clear again.

Which of the following obeys Ohm’s law? | Physics Past Questions

ALL METALS
OHM'S LAW: It states that the current through a conductor is directly proportional to the voltage (or potential difference) across it, and inversely proportional to its resistance (assuming that the temperature and other physical conditions do not change). Conductors that obey Ohm's law are made of metal, carbon and some alloys.
Any material, component, or device that obeys Ohm's law, where the current through the device is proportional to the voltage applied, is known as an ohmic material or ohmic component. Any material or component that does not obey Ohm's law is known as a nonohmic material or nonohmic component.

As we move from left to right in a period, which of the periodic properties decreases?
THIS QUESTION HAS MULTIPLE CORRECT OPTIONS
MEDIUM
Help best friend

ANSWER
On moving from left to right in a period, the chemical reactivity of elements first decreases and then increases. On moving from left to right in a period, the number of valence electrons increases from 1 to 8. On moving from left to right in a period, the atomic size decreases; the size of the atoms decreases. Since the atomic size decrease when we move from left to right in a period, therefore, electronegativity increases in moving left to right. Atomic size increases when moving down in a group thus electronegativity decreases when we move from top to bottom in the periodic table.

Metallic character decreases as you move across a period in the periodic table from left to right. This occurs as atoms more readily accept electrons to fill a valence shell than lose them to remove the unfilled shell.

Which of the following are components of glomerular filtrate? | Biology Past Questions

The glomerular filtrate contains water, glucose, salts, and urea, so the first option is wrong. The glucose, salts, and urea enter the Bowman's capsule in essentially the same concentrations as they have in the blood.
Filterable blood components include water, nitrogenous waste, and nutrients that will be transferred into the glomerulus to form the glomerular filtrate. Non-filterable blood components include blood cells, albumins, and platelets, that will leave the glomerulus through the efferent arteriole.

All the components of blood except plasma protein and cells is DEFINITELY CORRECT

The lead-acid accumulator consists of | Physics Past Questions

An accumulator in which the electrodes are made of lead and the electrolyte consists of dilute sulphuric acid. The electrodes are usually cast from a lead alloy containing 7–12% of antimony (to give increased hardness and corrosion resistance) and a small amount of tin (for better casting properties). The electrodes are coated with a paste of lead(II) oxide (PbO) and finely divided lead; after insertion into the electrolyte a ‘forming’ current is passed through the cell to convert the PbO on the negative plate into a sponge of finely divided lead. On the positive plate the PbO is converted to lead(IV) oxide (PbO2). The equation for the overall reaction during discharge is:PbO2+2H2SO4+Pb → 2PbSO4+2H2O The reaction is reversed during charging. Each cell gives an e.m.f. of about 2 volts and in motor vehicles a 12-volt battery of six cells is usually used. The lead-acid battery produces 80–120 kJ per kilogram. Compare nickel-iron accumulator.

The gland that is present close to Trachea | Biology Past Questions

The thyroid attaches to the trachea via a consolidation of connective tissue, referred to as the lateral suspensory ligament or Berry's ligament. This ligament connects each of the thyroid lobes to the trachea.
The thyroid gland is located beside the trachea, just below the larynx. It has two lobes, which are flat and oval, one on each side of the trachea, joined by an isthmus across the front of the trachea. The thyroid isthmus lies about halfway between the thyroid cartilage (the Adam's apple) and the sternal notch.

Which of the following organs can be considered vestigial in humans but function… | Biology Past Questions

The appendix is a small, pouch-like sac of tissue that is located in the first part of the colon (cecum) in the lower- right abdomen. Lymphatic tissue in the appendix aids in immune function. The official name of the appendix is veriform appendix, which means "worm-like appendage." The appendix harbors bacteria.
The human appendix may be considered as a vestigial organ as it has been proved that the removal of the organ after infancy does not create any harm [1-3]. But the appendix has developed to the extreme in human and strategically placed to an important site at the junction of midgut and hindgut.

The nervous and endocrine systems both work to bring about this adaptation, but their response patterns are different. The nervous system and the endocrine system use chemical messengers to signal cells, but the speed at which these messages are transmitted and the length of their effects differs
The endocrine system secretes hormones into blood and other body fluids. These chemicals are important for metabolism, growth, water and mineral balance, and the response to stress. Hormones provide feedback to the brain to affect neural processing. Reproductive hormones affect the development of the nervous system.

The blood circulatory system of vertebrates consists of | Biology Past Questions

Vertebrate Cardiovascular System | Back to Top
The vertebrate cardiovascular system includes a heart, which is a muscular pump that contracts to propel blood out to the body through arteries, and a series of blood vessels. The upper chamber of the heart, the atrium (pl. atria), is where the blood enters the heart. Passing through a valve, blood enters the lower chamber, the ventricle. Contraction of the ventricle forces blood from the heart through an artery. The heart muscle is composed of cardiac muscle cells.

Arteries are blood vessels that carry blood away from heart. Arterial walls are able to expand and contract. Arteries have three layers of thick walls. Smooth muscle fibers contract, another layer of connective tissue is quite elastic, allowing the arteries to carry blood under high pressure.

The aorta is the main artery leaving the heart. The pulmonary artery is the only artery that carries oxygen-poor blood. The pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood to the lungs. In the lungs, gas exchange occurs, carbon dioxide diffuses out, oxygen diffuses in. Arterioles are small arteries that connect larger arteries with capillaries. Small arterioles branch into collections of Capillaries. So The blood circulatory system of vertebrates consists of heart, arteries, capillaries and veins.

An allele is a variant form of a gene. Some genes have a variety of different forms, which are located at the same position, or genetic locus, on a chromosome. Humans are called diploid organisms because they have two alleles at each genetic locus, with one allele inherited from each parent.
An allele is one of two or more versions of a gene. An individual inherits two alleles for each gene, one from each parent.
