87. Substances which solve in moisture when exposed to it are called:
a) Hygroscopic
b) Efflorescent
c) Deliquescent
d) Fluorescent
Ans: a) Hygroscopic
Efflorescence: When
some substances are exposed to air, they lose water to the atmosphere, thereby
reducing in weight. Solids that behave in this way are those with water of
crystallization. The molecules of water of crystallization are partially or
completely lost to the atmosphere, thereby making them lose their crystalline
forms.
Hygroscopy: This is
when substances absorb water from air, but not enough to form solutions. Also,
certain liquid substances absorb water from the air to get diluted - these are
also regarded as being hygroscopic. Example, conc. H2SO4 and
conc. HCl. lf a hydroscopic substance absorbs so much moisture that an aqueous
solution is formed, the substance becomes deliquescent.
Deliquescence: This is
when certain solid substances, when exposed to air absorb water, enough to form
solutions. Example, solid NaOH, CaCl2, CaCl2. 6H2O,
P4O10 (forms HPO3), FeCl3,
KOH, MgCl2.
Fluorescence. Fluorescence is a physical phenomenon during which a material is
electronically excited by absorption of a quantum of electromagnetic radiation
and subsequently emits light.

94. A body at rest can have:
a) Speed
b) Velocity
c) Momentum
d) Energy
Ans: b) Velocity
If a body
is at rest, then that means that it’s velocity is not only zero, it is
constantly zero. If the velocity is constant (zero or otherwise) and therefore
not changing, then the acceleration must be zero. This is the gist of Newton’s
first law of motion. An object at rest will stay at rest until it is acted upon
by an outside force. However, once a net force acts on a body at rest, only
then will acceleration occur. No net force, no acceleration.
