DAP (diammonium phosphate) provides which primary nutrients to plants?
A. N and P
B. N, P, and K
C. N and K
D. P and K
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
DAP, (NH₄)₂HPO₄, supplies nitrogen (18% N) and phosphorus (46% P₂O₅). It is a widely used phosphorus-rich fertilizer. Potassium is not present. NPK complex fertilizers provide all three. DAP is highly water-soluble, making phosphorus readily available. In soil, DAP temporarily increases pH around granules due to ammonia, but later nitrification lowers pH. Application: usually at sowing time.
Explanation:
Brass is an alloy of copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn). Proportions vary to give different properties; common brass is 70% Cu, 30% Zn. Bronze is primarily Cu and Sn (tin). Solder is Pb and Sn. Steel is Fe with C and other elements. Brass is used for musical instruments, plumbing, and decorative hardware due to its gold-like appearance and corrosion resistance.
Explanation:
Cathode rays consist of electrons, which are fundamental particles. Therefore, their nature (charge to mass ratio) is independent of the gas used in the cathode ray tube or the material of the cathode. All other statements are correct properties of cathode rays, demonstrating their fundamental particle nature.
Explanation:
Soap (sodium carboxylate) reacts with Ca²⁺/Mg²⁺ to form insoluble calcium or magnesium carboxylate (scum). This precipitates and reduces cleaning efficiency. Sodium and potassium salts are soluble. This is why detergents, which form soluble Ca/Mg salts, are used. Scum is visible in hard water areas.
