Q. 1 ) Oxygen is transported by respiratory
pigment as:
(a) It is more soluble in water than CO2
(b) Haemoglobin has high affinity for it.
(c) It easily diffuses to all body parts
(d) It is easily absorbed by our tissues
Answer: (b) Haemoglobin has high affiinity for it.
Explanation: The respiratory pigment
heamoglobin has high affinity for oxygen and
therefore oxygen is transported in our body by
it. Carbon dioxide is more soluble in water than oxygen is and hence is mostlytransported in the dissolved form in our blood.

Q. 13) If a person is stung by a bee, it causes
burning pain and irritation.
Application of which of the following on the
stung area can give relief from the pain?
(a) Vinegar (b) Orange juice

Q. 25) Which of the following statement is true about ionic compounds?
(I) Ionic compounds are crystalline solids.
(II) Ionic compounds are soluble in solvents such as kerosene and petrol.
(III) Ionic compounds conduct electricity when dissolved in water.
(IV)Ionic compounds conduct electricity in the molten state.
(a) Both (I) and (II)
(b) Both I and (III)
(c) (I), (III) and (IV)
(d) (I), (II) and (IV)
Answer: (c) (I), (III) and (IV)
Explanation: Ionic compounds are generally
crystalline solids and hard due to the strong
force of attraction between the positive and negative ions. They are generally brittle.
These conduct electricity when dissolved in
water as its solution in water contains ions.
These conduct electricity in the molten state as
the electrostatic forces of attraction between
the oppositely charged ions are overcome due
to the heat. However, these do not conduct electricity in the solid state due to their rigid structure. Ionic compounds are soluble in polar solvents such as water and insoluble in solvents such as kerosene, petrol etc.
