- Question
Which one of the following is the correct relation between the Kelvin temperature (T) and the Celsius temperature (fc)?
Options- A. These are two independent temperature scales
- B. T = tc
- C. T = tc - 273.15
- D. T = tc + 273.15
- Correct Answer
- T = tc + 273.15
ExplanationLord Kelvin, working in Scotland, developed the Kelvin scale in 1848. His scale uses molecular energy to define the extremes of hot and cold. Absolute zero, or 0 K, corresponds to the point at which molecular energy is at a minimum. The Kelvin scale is preferred in scientific work, although the Celsius scale is also commonly used. Temperatures measured on the Kelvin scale are reported simply as K, not °K.
T (in °C) + 273.15 = T (in K)
T (in K) ? 273.15 = T (in °C)

Correct Answer: To increase the life of the bulb
Explanation:
Argon gas is used in fluorescent and incandescent light bulbs to stop the oxygen in the light bulbs from corroding the hot tungsten filament.
The use of argon in light bulbs prevents the evaporation of the tungsten filaments, which results in increased light bulb life.
Argon is also used to create an inert atmosphere for growing semiconductor crystals, arc welding and for processes that need protection from other kinds of atmospheric gases.
Correct Answer: 1, 3, 2, 3
Explanation:
Fe2O3 + 3CO = 2Fe + 3CO2
Hematite + Carbon Monoxide = Iron + Carbon Dioxide
In this reaction, the iron oxide is reduced to iron, and the carbon is oxidised to carbon dioxide.
Correct Answer: Carbon dioxide
Explanation:
Carbon dioxide (CO2) gas dissolved in water can cause water to become acidic.The acidity of water from dissolved CO2 can be reduced by a base such as baking soda (sodium bicarbonate).
Correct Answer: Caesium
Explanation:
When exposed to certain frequencies of radiation, such as radio waves, the subatomic particles called electrons that orbit an atom's nucleus will "jump" back and forth between energy states. Clocks based on this jumping within atoms can therefore provide an extremely precise way to count seconds.It is no surprise then that the international standard for the length of one second is based on atoms. Since 1967, the official definition of a second is 9,192,631,770 cycles of the radiation that gets an atom of the element called caesium to vibrate between two energy states.
Correct Answer: Natural gas
Correct Answer: All particles of compound are of only one type.
Explanation:
A mixture is made from different substances that are not chemically joined.Compound:
?Two or more elements combine together chemically to form a new substance called compound.
?The different elements are chemically joined together.?Compounds are homogeneous, i.e. their properties are the same throughout
?The compound has properties different from the elements it contains.
?It can only be separated into its elements using chemical reactions. (not using physical methods)
?During the formation of a compound from its elements, a certain amount of energy in the form of heat, light, electricity is either absorbed or evolved
Correct Answer: 1 and 2
Explanation:
There are two types of water hardness: temporary and permanent hardness. Temporary hardness is due to the presence of calcium hydrogen carbonate Ca(HCO3)2(aq) and magnesium hydrogen carbonate Mg(HCO3)2(aq).
Correct Answer: Hydrogen bond
