An experimenter tries to determine the molecular weight to glucose by observing the depression in freezing point. He carries out his experiment in duplicates. In one he uses pure water as the solvent and in the other independent experiment by mistake, he uses a 0.1 N aqueous NaCl as the solvent. It is expected that he will report:

(i) An adiabatic cylinder contains an ideal gas. It is fitted with a freely movable insulating piston. In one experiment the piston is pulled out very fast to double the volume of the gas. In another experiment starting from same initial state, the piston is pulled out very slowly to double the volume of the gas. At the end of which experiment the final pressure of the gas will be higher? (ii) An ideal gas is contained in a cylinder fitted with a movable piston. In an experiment ‘A’ the gas is allowed to perform a work W (gt 0) on the surrounding during an isobaric process and thereafter the pressure of the gas is reduced isochorically to half the initial value. At the end of the experiment the temperature of the gas is T_(A) . In a different experiment ‘B’ the pressure of the gas is reduced to half in an isochoric process and then the gas performs a work W on the surrounding during an isobaric process. At the end of the experiment the gas temperature is T_(B) . Which is higher, T_(A) or T_(B) ?

Mendel was the first scientist to study the pattern of inheritance. He is known as the father of genetics and proposed the laws of inheritance. He selected pea plants (Pisum sativum) to carry out his study on the inheritance of characters from parents to offspring. Mendel carried the process of self-pollination followed by cross-pollination in his experiment. ________ is a piece of DNA that codes for one protein.
