Instruction: Arrange the following sentences in correct sequence (This question carries 5 mark) Q 12. Eratosthenes knew that in Syene, in Egypt, the Sun was directly overhead at the summer solstice, while he estimated that the angle formed by a shadow cast by the Sun at Alexandria was 1/50th of a circle. The Earth's circumference was first determined around 240 BC by Eratosthenes. He estimated the distance from Syene to Alexandria as 5,000 stades, and estimated the Earth's circumference was 250,000 stades and a degree was 700 stades (implying a circumference of 252,000 stades. Note that Eratosthenes could only measure the circumference of the Earth by assuming that the distance to the Sun is so great that the rays of sunlight are essentially parallel. Eratosthenes used rough estimates and round numbers, but depending on the length of the stadion,

Instruction: Read the Passage Carefully and Answer the Questions The process Vulcanization is a chemical process by which the physical properties of natural or synthetic rubber are improved; finished rubber has higher tensile strength and resistance to swelling and abrasion, and is elastic over a greater range of temperatures. In its simplest form, vulcanization is brought about by heating rubber with sulfur. The process was discovered in 1839 by the U.S. inventor Charles Goodyear, who also noted the important function of certain additional substances in the process. Such a material, called an accelerator, causes vulcanization to proceed more rapidly or at lower temperatures. The reactions between rubber and sulfur are not fully understood, but in the product, the sulfur is not simply dissolved or dispersed in the rubber; it is chemically combined, mostly in the form of cross-links, or bridges, between the long-chain molecules. In modern practice, temperatures of about 140180 C are employed, and in addition to sulfur and accelerators, carbon black or Zinc oxide is usually added, not merely as an extender, but to improve further the qualities of the rubber. Anti-oxidants are also commonly included to retard deterioration caused by oxygen and ozone. Certain synthetic rubbers are not vulcanized by sulfur but give satisfactory products upon similar treatment with metal oxides or organic peroxides. Q 13. According to the passage, what are included to stop the corrosion caused by oxygen? Oxidants Anti-oxidants Ozone None of these Correct Answer : 2
Q 14. According to the passage, what does accelerator cause vulcanization to? It causes vulcanization to proceed more rapidly It causes vulcanization to proceed at lower temperatures It causes vulcanization to proceed at higher temperatures Both A and B are correct Correct Answer : 4
Q 15. According to the passage, what are added as a modern practice for the improvement of the qualities of rubber? Zinc Carbon black or Zinc Oxide Synthetics All the above
Q 17. According to the passage, what do they do with certain synthetic rubbers? They are also vulcanized but at higher temperatures They are given treatment with sulfur They are not vulcanized They are not treated as they don't give satisfactory products Correct Answer : 3

The most important application of thorium is the production of nuclear power either as metal, oxide or alloy and even in several compounds during the U 233 production process. In the non-energetic uses, the production of gas light mantle and the use of thorium metal for imparting strength to magnesium metal can be included. Due to its low work function and high electron emissivity, thorium has found applications in a number of gaseous discharge lamps, photoelectric cells (when ultraviolet sensitivity is required) and as emitter in monochromatic X-ray tubes. The oxide has been found useful in a variety of areas. Perhaps the most recent potentially large-scale nonenergy use found for thorium oxide is as hardener of nickel for space and metallurgical industry. Thorium oxide, when properly prepared, is quite active as a catalyst for many chemical processes, like oil fractionizing and sulfuric acid preparation. Its stability at high temperatures allow the use as a coating element for melting crucibles. Hazards of thorium or its compounds may generally be classed into three types, namely, radiological, chemical and combustion. Q 18. What is the most useful application of Thorium? use it for making alloys use it to generate electricity use it to generate nuclear power use it to generate U 233 Correct Answer : 3
Q 20. Due to the low work function and high electron emission, Thorium has not found application in a number of gaseous discharge lamps photoelectric cells as emitter in monochromatic X-ray tubes as a generator of heat Correct Answer : 4
Q 22. Which one of the hazards below is not due to Thorium?
Chemical biological radiological combustion Correct Answer : 2
