Dear Students,
As announced, here is the first installment for the of Daily Workout
(DW) questions in Chemistry for your summer vacations.
The theory questions /numericals are set in such a way that they
offer a revision of the topic/ concept to a good extent. In addition
to the given problems, you are expected to revise corresponding
theory.
There is one problem set for every week ,which means three to four
simple problems every day. Since the program is called DW, do not
forget to work daily. With regular practice of solving problems, you
will not only be in touch with what has been taught so far, but you
will also make more sense of your Science.
You need to maintain a separate file / notebook for these prob-
lems. Solve each problem carefully and write complete solution.
Kindly note that we are going to discuss this installment in a ses-
sion or two in detail and every student should be ready with legit
doubts. Also, if you have any kind of technical doubts of chemistry
in our syllabus till date, you should utilize the next lecture for the
same.

So here we go!
