7. Eo value for Ce4+ / Ce3+ is + 1.74 V which suggest that Ce4+ is strong oxidant reverting to its
3+ 4+
common +3 oxidation state, So Ce is more stable than Ce .

8. Fat soluble vitamins are stored in our body relatively for longer duration as compared to water
soluble vitamins.
Vitamin B and C are water soluble.
Thiamine is vitamin B1 while ascorbic acid is vitamin C.
Vitamin A and vitamin D are fat soluble, so stored in our body relatively for longer duration.

9. Partially deactivated palladised charcoal is Lindlar’s reagent.

10. H2O has tetrahedral geometry and bent shape with bond angle 104.5o which is smaller than
109.5o, it is because of presence of two lone pair in H2O.

BeO is amphoteric while other oxides of group 2 are basic is nature.

17. Bismuth (Bi) is a metal which is group 15th element, its hydride is BiH3 which is strongest reducing
agent due to lowest thermal stability.

18. Roasting is process in which sulphur is removed as SO2 gas from sulphide ores on heating in
excess of oxygen.
