Subject :NSO    Class : Class 8

The diagram shows a beaker containing a solution of zinc sulphate and two carbon electrodes. A battery is placed next to it. In order that the electrode P be plated with zinc,


A P must be connected to S and Q to R
B P must be connected to Q and S to R
C P must be connected to R and Q to S
D P and Q must be connected to R.


The answer would be a as znso4 wold breakdown into zn 2and so42-ions .the zn 2 would be attracted towards cathode(negative terminal) so p would be attached to negative terminal and therefore the answer is a.

Raghav Tyagi from birla vidya niketan, new delhi
Class : Class 9
In reactivity series hydrogen is below zinc and is less reactive than zinc. As hydrogen below zinc therefore will reduce more and earlier than zinc , hence will go to cathode and zinc will reduced or deposit at anode. therefore P will be connected to R and Q to S.hence ans is :C

Ans 11:

Nishtha Neelabh from Lok Puram Public School, Thane West
Class : Class 6
answer should be A, as hydrogen is not released at cathode if the other cation is Zinc or below in the electrochemical series

sedimentation and decantation is the answer . but filtration can not come because we can see in the picture itself that the particles are big ,that's why sedimentation and decantation . if the particles are small but yet insoluble , then only it is filtration . I hope that you understood.

Ans 3:

Shivangi from St. Michael's High School, Patna
Class : Class 5
Ya, filtration can also remove insoluble impurities but in this case sedimentation and decanation is more appropriate answer.

Ans 4:

Gauri Singh from St. John's School, Marhauli, Varanasi
Class : Class 7
Yes, but in the given figure it is sedimentation

Ans 5:

Mallika Gupta from NPS indiranagar, Bangalore
Class : Class 8
it needs to be sedimentation and decantation because the insoluble material present in the liquid is quite heavy you only perform filtration when the particles float over the surface of the water

Read the given statements and select the correct option.
Statement 1 : Phosphorus burns in air at room temperature.
Statement 2 : It is an example of spontaneous combustion.

A Both statements 1 and 2 are true and statement 2 is the correct explanation of statement 1.
B Both statements 1 and 2 are true but statement 2 is not the correct explanation of statement 1.
C Statement 1 is true and statement 2 is false.
D Both statements 1 and 2 are false.


I say it is option a but they say it is b....But isn’t this definitely due to spontaneous combustion?

Ans 1:

Bhuvanesh Singla from SCTS, Bengaluru
Class : Class 8
Hi, the statement 2 is true but just tells about the type type combustion to which the reaction given in statement belong. it does not tell about actual cause of burning of phosphorus in air at room temperature. the reason for statement 1 is that phosphorus is a highly reactive element that's why burns in air at room temperature.
