A sample of magnisium metal containing some MgO as impurity was dissolved in 125 " mL of " 0.1 N H_2SO_4 . The volume of H_2 evolved at 27.3^@C and 1 atm was 120.1 mL. The resulting solution was found to be 0.02 N with respect to H_2SO_4 . Calculate (i) the weight of sample dissolved and (ii) the percentage by weight of Mg in the sample. Neglect any change in the volume of the solution (atomic weight of Mg=24.3 ).

Breathing, an important step of the respiratory system, is a two-part process involving-inhalation and exhalation. During the process of breathing, the thorax region shows some changes. Identify the statement/s from below that is/are related to the exhalation process. I. External intercostal muscles contract II. Pressure in the lungs increases III. Diaphragm contracts IV.

A thin uniform film of refractive index 1.75 is placed on a sheet of glass of refractive index 1.5. At room temperature (20^(@) C) this film is just thick enoungh for light with wavelength 600 nm reflected off the top of the film to be canceled by light reflected from the top the glass. After the glass is placed in on oven and slowly heated to 170^(@) C , the film conceals reflected light with wavelength 606 nm. The coefficient of linear expansion of the film is (ignore any changes in the refractive index of the film due to the temperature change)
