Chemistry QUESTION #7193

Question 9325

In the estimation of nitrogen using the Dumas method, $0.3 \text{ g}$ of an organic compound yielded $50 \text{ mL}$ of nitrogen gas collected at $300 \text{ K}$ and $715 \text{ mm Hg}$ pressure. Determine the percentage of nitrogen in the compound. (Aqueous tension at $300 \text{ K} = 15 \text{ mm Hg}$)

15.46%
17.46%✔️
16.46%
18.46%

Correct Answer Logic:

First, calculate the volume of nitrogen at STP ($P_1V_1/T_1 = P_2V_2/T_2$):

$P_1 = 715 - 15 = 700 \text{ mm Hg}$ [cite: 3, 53]
$V_1 = 50 \text{ mL}$, $T_1 = 300 \text{ K}$ [cite: 18]
$V_{STP} = \frac{700 \times 50 \times 273}{300 \times 760} \approx 41.9 \text{ mL}$ [cite: 19]
Mass of $N_2 = \frac{28 \times 41.9}{22400} \approx 0.0524 \text{ g}$ [cite: 54]
$\% \text{ Nitrogen} = \frac{0.0524}{0.3} \times 100 \approx 17.46\%$ [cite: 56]

Question 9326

A Financial Adviser disagrees with a Ministry's financial decision within the delegated field. The Secretary of that Ministry also disagrees with the FA's view. What is the CORRECT escalation path?

Dairy Food Science and Technology QUESTION #5966

Question 9327

Which test is performed to detect coliform bacteria in milk as an indicator of post-pasteurization contamination?

Total Plate Count (TPC)
Most Probable Number (MPN) or Petrifilm coliform count✔️
Reductase Test (MBRT)
Phosphatase Test

Correct Answer Logic:

Coliform bacteria ($E.\;coli$, $Klebsiella$, $Enterobacter$) should be absent or very low in properly pasteurized milk. Detection uses the MPN method (lauryl sulfate tryptose broth with gas production) or direct plating on selective media (VRBA, Petrifilm CC). Coliforms in pasteurized milk indicate post-pasteurization contamination.

Physics QUESTION #7303

Question 9337

The displacement of a particle is given by $s = t^3 - 6t^2 + 3t + 4$ metres. The velocity when acceleration is zero is:

$3\text{ m/s}$
$-12\text{ m/s}$
$42\text{ m/s}$
$-9\text{ m/s}$✔️

Correct Answer Logic:

$v = \dfrac{ds}{dt} = 3t^2 - 12t + 3$

$a = \dfrac{dv}{dt} = 6t - 12$

Setting $a = 0$: $t = 2\text{ s}$

$v\big|_{t=2} = 3(4) - 12(2) + 3 = 12 - 24 + 3 = \mathbf{-9\text{ m/s}}$

Question 9338

The 'proteolysis index' in cheese ripening is correctly defined as:

$\text{PI} = \dfrac{\text{Water-Soluble Nitrogen}}{\text{Total Nitrogen}} \times 100$, indicating extent of proteolysis✔️
The total amount of rennet added per vat
The percentage of casein converted to whey proteins
The $\text{pH}$ of the cheese after ripening

Correct Answer Logic:

The proteolysis index (PI) $= \dfrac{\text{WSN}}{\text{TN}} \times 100$. Young cheddar PI $\approx 10\text{–}15\%$; mature cheddar PI $\approx 25\text{–}35\%$. High PI correlates with softer texture and stronger flavor development.

Maths QUESTION #7989

Question 9340

If $xy = 2$ and $xy^2 = 8$, what is the value of $x$?

0.5✔️
2.5
4
8

Correct Answer Logic:

From $xy = 2$: $x = \dfrac{2}{y}$
Substituting into $xy^2 = 8$: $\dfrac{2}{y} \times y^2 = 8 \Rightarrow 2y = 8 \Rightarrow y = 4$
Then $x = \dfrac{2}{4} = 0.5$
