A potted plant is kept in light for a day and one of its leaves is tested for starch. The same plant is kept in the dark for two days and another leaf is tested for starch. Will there be a difference in the results of the two experiments? Give reasons for your answer.

Look at leaves of the same plant on the shady side and compare it with the leaves on the sunny side. Or, compare the potted plants kept in the sunlight with those in the shade. Which of them has leaves that are darker green? Why? Answer

Mention the two chemicals which you have used in an experiment to test the presence of starch in the leaf.

  • A proton is kept at rest. A positively charged particle is released from rest at a distance .d. in its field. Consider two experiments, one in which the charged particle is a proton and in another a position. In the same time .t. the work done on the two moving charged particles is

    A
    Same as the same force law is involved in the two experiments
    B
    Less for the case of a positron, as the positorn moves away more rapidly and the force on it weakens
    C
    More for the case of a position, as the positron moves an a larger distance
    D
    Same as the work done by charged particle on the stationary proton.
  • Iodine titrations: Compounds containing iodine are widely used in titrations, commonly known as iodine titration. It is of two kinds: (i) lodometric titrations (ii) lodimetric titrations. (i) lodometric titrations : It is nothing but an indirect method of estimating the iodine. In this type of titration, an oxidising agent is made to react with excess of KI, in acidic medium or, basic medium in which I_2 oxidises into L. Now the liberated I_2 can be titrated with Na_(2)S_(2)O_3 . solution. KI overset("Oxidising Agent")rarrI_(2)overset(Na_(2).S_(2)O_(3)//H^(+))rarrI^(-)+Na_(2)S_(4)O_6 Although solid I_2 is black and insoluble in water, but it converts into soluble I_3 ions underset("Black")(I_2(s))+IhArrunderset("Dark brown")(I_3^(-)) Starch is used as indicator near the end point or equivalence point. Even small amount of I_2 molecules, gives blue colour with starch. The completion of the reaction can be detected when blue colour disappears at the and point. In iodimetric titration, the strength of reducing agent is determined by reacting it with I_2 A solution containing Cu^(+2) and C_(2)O_(4)^(-2) ions M which on titration with M/10 KMnO_4 requires 50 mL. The resulting solution is neutralized with K_(2)CO_(3) then treated with excess of KI. M The liberated I_2 required 25 mL M/10 Na_(2)S_(2)O_3 in acidic solution, then what is the difference of the number of m mole of Cu^(+2) and C_(2)O_(4)^(-2) ions in the solution ?

    You might have conducted and experiment in your school laboratory to prove that CO_2 is essential for Photosynthesis. Raju, who is in 9th class, wanted to perform the same experiment. He had some doubts regarding this experiment. Clarify them. Prior to the experiment, the potted plant was kept in a dark room for a week. Why?

    Take two paper cups.Fill them with fertile soil.sow two or three bean seeds in a cup and few finger millets in another cup.Sprinkle water over them.then place them by the window.After a couple of days you will see them sprout observe the newly emerging leaves. What kind of root system do you find in the millet plant?
