Suppose we consider a large number of containers each containing initially 10000 atoms of a radioactive material with a half line of 1 year. After 1 year,

A

all the containers will have 5000 atoms of the material

B

all the containers will contain the same number of atoms of the material but that number will only be approximately 5000

C

the containers will in general have different number of the atoms of the material but their average will be close to 5000

D

none of containers can have more than 5000 atoms

The numbers of moles of BaCO_(3) , which contain 1.5 moles of oxygen atoms is _________.

The water equivalent of a calorimeter is 10 g and it contains 50 g of water at 15^@C . Some amount of ice, initially -10^@C is dropped in it and half of the ice melts till equilibrium is reached. What was the initial amount of ice that was dropped (when specific heat of ice = 0.5 cal g^-1^@C^-1, specific heat of water = 1.0 cal g^1^@C^-1 and latent heat of melting of ice =80 cal g^-1 )?

Same quantity of ice is filled in each of the two metal containers P and Q having the same size, shape and wall thickness but made of different materials. The containers are kept in identical surroundings. The ice in P melts completely in time t_1 , whereas that Q in takes a time t_2 . The ratio of thermal conductivities of the materials of P and Q is

Carbon forms a large number of compounds because of its two unique properties formed many have long straight chains of carbon, branched chains of carbon or rings of carbon. In these compounds, carbon atoms may form single, double or triple covalent bonds. Compounds in which the carbon atoms are linked to each other by single bonds are called saturated carbon compounds whereas compounds having at least one carbon-carbon double or triple bond are called unsaturated carbon compounds. Compounds containing only carbon and hydrogen are known as hydrocarbons. Based on the above information, answer the following questions. ii. Give two examples of carbon compounds which have ring structure.
