Persons suffering from hypertension (high blood pressure) are advised a low-salt diet because–
(A) More salt is absorbed in the body of a patient with hypertension
(B) High salt leads to water retention in the blood that further increases the blood pressure
(C) High salt increases nerve conduction and increases blood pressure
(D) High salt causes adrenaline release that increases blood pressure
Why hydrogen peroxide is applied on the wound as a disinfectant, there is frothing at the site of injury, which is

The ΔH for vaporization of a liquid is 20 kJ/mol. Assuming ideal behaviour, the change in internal energy for the
vaporization of 1 mol of the liquid at 60°C and 1 bar is close to –
(A) 13.2 kJ/mol (B) 17.2 kJ/mol (C) 19.5 kJ/mol (D) 20.0 kJ/mol
A metal is irradiated with light of wavelength 660 nm. Given that the work that the work function of the metal is
1.0 eV, the de Broglie wavelength of the ejected electron is close to
