Aluminium metal forms a thin layer of aluminium oxide all over its surface under the action of moist air. This layer prevents the metal underneath from further corrosion. It is cheap, easily available, malleable and ductile. Therefore, it is used to make utensils for cooking.

Electrolytic refining is a technique that is used for the extraction and purification of metals that are obtained by refining methods. The impure metal is used as an anode and the pure metal is used a cathode. Soluble salt from the same metal is used an electrolyte. Electrolytic refining is the process of refining impure metals by using electricity. ... A solution of a soluble salt of the same metal is taken as the electrolyte. Example- Copper can be purified by this way. In electrolytic refining of copper, the electrolyte is a solution of acidified copper sulphate.

The most widely used method for refining impure metals is electrolytic refining.
Electrolytic refining means refining by electrolysis. Metals such as copper, zinc, tin, lead, chromium, nickel, silver and gold are refined electrolytically.
- For refining an impure metal by electrolysis:
A thick block of impure metal is made the anode. A thin strip of pure metal is taken as the cathode. A water soluble salt is taken as the electrolyte. On passing current through the electrolyte, the impure metal from the anode dissolves into the electrolyte. An equivalent amount of pure metal from the electrolyte is deposited on the cathode. The soluble impurities go into the solution, whereas the insoluble impurities settle down at the bottom of the anode and are known as the ‘anode mud’.

Extraction of copper metal:
In an electrolytic tank, acidified copper sulphate (CuSO4 + dilute H2O4) solution forms the electrolyte. A block of impure copper is made into an anode by connecting the positive terminal of a power supply (battery). A thin strip of highly pure copper metal is the cathode of the cell. The negative terminal of the power supply is connected to it.
A small electric current is passed through the cell. Atoms from the anode enter the electrolyte. The copper from the anode gets converted into copper sulphide. An equal number of copper atoms from the solution get deposited on the cathode. This is to keep the concentration of the solution constant. Impurities from the anode block either remain in solution or collect below the anode, as they are unable to displace copper form the sulphate solution. The impurities remain insoluble in the electrolyte and they are called anode mud.
Copper sulphate solution contains ions of Cu++ and SO4--. The following reactions take place at the anode and cathode when an electric current is passed.

Both male and female parent contributes equally to the DNA of the progeny during sexual reproduction. When the germ cells combine, they will restore the normal number of chromosomes in the progeny, ensuring the stability of the DNA of the species. DNA is the genetic material and it is responsible for the transmission of characters from parents to the offsprings. Even the *** of the individual is determined genetically in humans.

Current rating is the maximum current that a fuse will carry for an indefinite period without too much deterioration of the fuse element. A wide range of power switching transistors are also available, with current rating up to several hundred amperes and voltage ratings well over 1000V. To test a fuse without multimeter, take a flashlight equipped with a flat battery. Unscrew the bulb and get the battery. Place the fuse of one of the battery “blades” and the base of the bulb on the other side of the fuse. Put the bulb pad in contact with the second “blade” of the battery.

Hydrochloric acid plays a major role in the process of digestion. It creates a medium of gastric juice acidic so that the enzyme pepsin digests the protein and kills the bacteria present in them. Hydrochloric acid helps your body to break down, digest, and absorb nutrients such as protein. The hydrochloric acid found in the stomach facilitates the process of digestion by disintegrating complex large food molecules into simpler molecules. The acid activates the pepsinogen enzyme required to digest proteins.
When there is no hydrochloric acid in the stomach, the iron absorption process is hindered as iron is essential in the solution for absorption. The stomach is prompted to produce acid when food is consumed for the production of the gastrin hormone. Hence, the acid lowers the pH level in the stomach, switching off the gastrin production which otherwise would lead to hypergastrinemia.

The chemical reaction involved in the electrolysis of water is

From the above reaction it is clear that the amount of hydrogen gas and the oxygen gas formed are always in the ratio of 2:1. Therefore the volume of gas collected in the first test tube is double the volume of the gas collected in second test tube.

Since pressure in the veins is normally relatively low, for blood to flow back into the heart, the pressure in the atria during atrial diastole must be even lower.So this means that veins have blood pressure.
Blood flows in the same direction as the decreasing pressure gradient: arteries to capillaries to veins. ... As vessel diameter decreases, the resistance increases and blood flow decreases. Very little pressure remains by the time blood leaves the capillaries and enters the venules.

Lateral Displacement is the perpendicular distance between the emergent ray from a glass slab and the incident ray produced forward.
When the perpendicular distance between the original path traced by an incident ray and the path traced by the emergent ray coming out from the glass slab is known as lateral displacement.
Following are the factors on which lateral displacement depends:
- The thickness of the glass slab
- Refractive index of the glass slab
- The angle at which incident ray enters the glass slab

The capacity to do work is termed as Energy. The Energy expended to do work in unit time is termed as Power. It is represented as P.
Power Formula is articulated as,
P= E/t
P = W/t
or,
Where,
The Energy Consumed to do work = E
Work done = W
Time taken= t

Plants need sunlight, water, oxygen, minerals for their growth and development. These are external factors. Apart from these, there are some intrinsic factors that regulate the growth and development of plants. These are called plant hormones or “Phytohormones”.
The various functions performed by the plant hormones are:
- Auxins promote cell enlargement and cell differentiadon. They also promote growth.
- Gibberellins promote cell enlargement and cell differentiation in the presence of auxin. It also help in breaking the dormancy in seeds and buds. It promote the growth in fruits.
- Cytokinins promote cell division and help in breaking the dormancy of seeds and buds. It delay the ageing in leaves. It promotes the opening of stomata and also fruit growth.
- Abscisic acid promotes the dormancy in seeds and buds. It promotes the closing of stomata and falling of leaves. Inhibits growth, reverses the growth promoting effects of auxins and gibberellins. Its effects include wilting of leaves.
- Ethylene promotes the falling of leaves, ripening of fruits and helps in breaking bud dormancy.

Early in puberty, levels of luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone increase, stimulating the production of *** hormones. The increased levels of *** hormones (primarily estrogen) result in physical changes, including maturation of the breasts, ovaries, uterus, and ******. The trigger for puberty in both boys and girls is the production of 'gonadotrophin releasing hormone' (GnRH) from a part of the brain called the hypothalamus. This hormone stimulates the pituitary gland to release two hormones, Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Luteinizing Hormone (LH).
