Explanation / Answer

Answers with explanation:

1. d) 1 kcal = 1*10-3 cal

because 1kcal is 1 kilo calorie and 1 kilo = 103

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. c) 3

because any operation has final result with same number of significant figures as the value with the least in the question. Here 1.02 * 10-4 has 3 significant figures.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3. c) A neutron is a subatomic particle

Because it has been experimentally discovered and proved under all circumstances that neutron exists as subatomic particle. Rest statements are correct under particular circumstances.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4. b) Hypothesis

Hypothesis follows Observation in scientific methods.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5. e) 3.20 * 1011 bytes

Can be proved after calculations.
1 GB = 109 Byte as Giga means 109
So 320 GB = 3.20 * 102 * 109
= 3.20 * 1011 bytes

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6. b) Na,Au,Hg,Sn

They represent the correct sequence of names- Sodium Na, Gold Au, Mercury -Hg, Tin -Sn

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7. b) Melting lead

Rest all are chemical changes
