During the interconversion of states, which property remains constant?
A. Volume
B. Mass
C. Density
D. Shape
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
According to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of a substance remains constant during any physical change, including the interconversion of states. Density, volume, and shape change as the intermolecular spaces and arrangement alter during phase transitions, but the total number of atoms and mass is conserved.
Explanation:
Saponification is the hydrolysis of triglycerides (fats/oils) with NaOH or KOH to produce glycerol and the sodium or potassium salts of long-chain fatty acids, which are soaps. Esterification is the formation of esters from acid and alcohol. Emulsification is the dispersion of one liquid in another. Hydrogenation is addition of H₂. Hard soaps use NaOH, soft soaps use KOH. Soaps clean by micelle formation.
Explanation:
Vitamin C is chemically known as ascorbic acid (C6H8O6). It is a vital nutrient involved in the repair of tissue and the enzymatic production of certain neurotransmitters. Deficiency leads to scurvy. Retinol is Vitamin A, Calciferol is Vitamin D, and Tocopherol is Vitamin E.
