Magnesium ribbon should be cleaned with sandpaper before burning in the air because of the following reasons:
- Magnesium very reactive element which rapidly reacts with oxygen in the air to form a white layer of magnesium oxide and this layer will not burn.
- To remove the Magnesium oxide layer from the ribbon which may prevent or slow down the burning of
- magnesium ribbon.
- Unwanted impurities deposited on the magnesium ribbon can be removed and only pure magnesium can be used for the reaction

Law of Modern Periodic Table states that properties of elements are the periodic function of their atomic numbers. In the modern periodic table, elements are arranged in order of their increasing atomic numbers.
Explanation of Modern Periodic Table:
- Elements are arranged in order of their increasing atomic numbers.
- The vertical columns are known as groups and horizontal columns are known as periods; in the modern periodic table.
- There are 18 groups and 7 periods in the modern periodic table.
Groups in Modern Periodic Table:
1st group: Alkali metals are placed in the 1st group in the modern periodic table. Hydrogen is also placed in the 1st group although hydrogen is not an alkali metal.
2nd group: Alkaline earth metals are placed in the 2nd group in the modern periodic table.
Elements placed in 1st and 2nd groups in the modern periodic table are collectively known as light metals.
3rd to 12th group: Transition elements are placed from 3rd to 12th group in the modern periodic table.
13th group: Metals are placed in the 13th group; except boron which is a metalloid.
14th group: Carbon, silicon, germanium, tin and lead are placed in this group. Among them, carbon is a non-metal, silicon and germanium are metalloids and tin and lead are metals.
15th group: Nitrogen, phosphorous, arsenic, antimony and bismuth are place in the 15th group; among which nitrogen and phosphorous are non-metals, arsenic and antimony are metalloids and bismuth is a metal.

Potassium hydroxide is used in the experiment for the absorption of CO2 from the plant released during respiration. When KOH absorbs CO2, it creates a vacuum in the flask. The air present in the bent glass tube moves into the conical flask. This pulls the water in the bent tube further up. Carbon dioxide released by respiration of seeds will not be absorbed. So, partial vacuum will not be created and thus there will be no rise in the level of water in the glass tube. If moisture is not available, seeds will dry up and rate of respiration would fall.

The major organs or structures that coordinate digestion within the human body include the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small and large intestine, and liver.
Mouth- The mouth is a specialized organ for receiving food and breaking up large organic masses. In the mouth, food is changed mechanically by biting and chewing. Food is moistened by saliva. The saliva contains an enzyme called amylase, which digests starch into maltose. During chewing, the tongue moves food about and manipulates it into a mass called a bolus. The bolus is pushed back into the pharynx and is forced through the opening to the esophagus.
Esophagus- The bolus of food moves through the esophagus by peristalsis
Stomach - The stomach is an expandable pouch located high in the abdominal cavity. Layers of stomach muscle contract and churn the bolus of food with gastric juices to form a soupy liquid called chyme. The stomach stores food and prepares it for further digestion. In addition, the stomach plays a role in protein digestion. Gastric glands called chief cells secrete pepsinogen, which is converted to pepsin in the presence of hydrochloric acid. The pepsin then digests large proteins into smaller proteins called peptides. To protect the stomach lining from the acid stomach cells secretes mucus that lines the stomach cavity.
Small intestine: The chyme enters from stomach to the small intestine. The three parts of small intestine are duodenum, jejunum and ileum. The inner surface of the small intestine contains numerous fingerlike projections called villi. Each villus has projections of cells called microvilli to increase the surface area.
Most chemical digestion takes place in the duodenum. In this region, enzymes digest nutrients into simpler forms that can be absorbed. Intestinal enzymes are supplemented by enzymes from the pancreas. In addition, bile enters the small intestine from the gall bladder to assist in fat digestion.
The enzymes functioning in carbohydrate digestion include amylase (for starch), maltase (for maltose), sucrase (for sucrose) and lactase (for lactose).
For fats, the principal enzyme is lipase. Before this enzyme can act, the large globules of fat must be broken into smaller droplets by bile.
Protein digestion is accomplished by several enzymes, including two pancreatic enzymes: trypsin and chymotrypsin. Peptides are broken into smaller peptides, and peptidases reduce the enzymes to amino acids.
Nucleases digest nucleic acids into nucleotides in the small intestine also.
The products of digestion enter cells of the villi, move across the cells, and enter blood vessels called capillaries. Diffusion accounts for the movement of many nutrients, but active transport is responsible for the movement of glucose and amino acids. The products of fat digestion pass as small droplets of fat into lacteals, which are branches of the lymphatic system.
Substances that have not been digested or absorbed then pass into the large intestine.
Large intestine - The large intestine's chief functions are to absorb water and to store, process, and eliminate the residue following digestion and absorption. The intestinal matter remaining after water has been reclaimed is known as feces. The feces are stored in the rectum and passed out through the **** to complete the digestion process.

Given: Two resistors with resistances R1=5ohm and R2=10ohm, V=6volt
(a) For minimum current these two should be connected in series. For maximum current these two should be connected in parallel.
(b)In series,
Total resistance = 5+10 = 15ohms
Therefore total current drawn = V/R = 6/15 = 0.4amps
In parallel,
Total resistance R is given as 1/R=1/R1+1/R2
1/R =1/5+1/10
1/R=3/10
R=10/3 ohm
Therefore total current drawn by the circuit = V/R = 6/(10/3) =1.8amps.

A wire is stretched to increase its length by 5% calculate percentage change in its resistance
Let say Resistance of Wire = R
Length = L
Area = A
Resistivity = ρ
R = ρL/A
Volume = V = LA
wire is stretched to increase its length by 5%
New L = L + (5/100)L = 1.05L
Volume remains same
so new Area = V/1.05L = A/1.05
New resistance = ρ 1.05L /(A/1.05)
New R = (ρL/A) * (1.05)²
New R = R * 1.05²
increase in R = R * 1.05² - R = R ( 1.05 + 1)(1.05 - 1) = R(2.05)(0.05)
% increase in R = (R(2.05)(0.5)/R ) * 100 = 2.05 * 5 = 10.25 %
10.25 % increase in resistance

- A rainbow is a natural spectrum of sunlight in the form of bows appearing in the sky when the sun shines on rain drops.
- It is combined result of reflection, refraction and dispersion of sunlight from water droplets, in atmosphere.
- Always it formed in the direction opposite to the sun.
- To see a rainbow, the sun must behind us and the water droplets falls infront of us.
- When a sunlight enters into a spherical rain¬drop, it is refracted and dispersed. The different colours of light bent in different angles.
- When different colours of light fall on the back inner surface of drop, it (water drop) reflects (different colours of light) internally (total internal reflection).
- The water drops again refracts the different colours, when it comes out from the raindrop.
- After leaving this different colours from the raindrop as rainbow, reach our eye. Thus, we see a rainbow.

Chlorofluorocarbons or the CFC are the main cause of ozone layer depletion. These are released by soaps, solvents, spray aerosols, refrigerators, air-conditioners, etc.
The molecules of chlorofluorocarbons in the stratosphere are broken down by the ultraviolet radiations and release chlorine atoms. These atoms react with ozone and destroy it.
