Multiple choice

When CO2 is released from baking powder during the baking process it causes this reaction:

  1. cookie mixtures will have a sweeter flavor

  2. cookie mixtures will separate, then harden

  3. cookie mixtures become softer

  4. cookie mixtures rise and become light and fluffy
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

The CO2 gas released by baking powder creates bubbles within the dough. As these bubbles expand during heating, they cause the dough to rise and become light and airy.

Multiple choice evs - i food and health effect on general health diet, drugs and disease nourishment and malnutrition diseases caused by changes in lifestyle

Frying

  1. Increases the nutritive values

  2. Reduces the sugar levels

  3. Reduces nutritive values

  4. Breaks fats into oils
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

The process of deep frying food involves submerging the food to be fried completely in hot oil at temperatures between 350 °F (177 °C) and 375 °F (191 °C). This is detrimental to the nutritional value of food as the fat degradation processes during deep frying leads to loss of nutritional value of the food.

Multiple choice chemistry combustion and flame fuels fuel and effects of burning fuel study of combustion

While cooking, if the bottom of the vessel is getting blackened on the outside, it means that __________.

  1. the food is not cooked completely

  2. the fuel is not burning completely

  3. the fuel is wet

  4. all of the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

While cooking, if the bottom of the vessel is getting blackened on the outside, it means that the fuel is not burning completely. When the fuel burns completely giving a blue flame, the bottom of the vessel remains clean. 


When the fuel does not burn completely then a sooty flame appears which makes the bottom of the utensil black. It is due to the air holes, which are getting blocked and the fuel does not burn completely.

Multiple choice chemistry basic analytical techniques filtration and crystallisation other methods of separation separation techniques

Why does the dish should be properly plugged during sublimation?

  1. To let the vapors escape

  2. To prevent escaping of vapors

  3. To restrict sublimation

  4. None of above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

If the dish in not plugged properly during sublimation, the vapors will escape and cannot be converted into solid on cooling. Thus, separation becomes difficult.

Multiple choice physics solar equipment production of electricity from solar energy solar power alternate sources of energy solar power plant solar energy and its applications renewable and non-renewable resources renewable and non-renewable sources of energy generation of electricity

Which of the following will improve the efficiency of a solar cooker? 

  1. Regularly orienting the solar cooker according to the Sun.

  2. Increasing the span of glass sheet on the top.

  3. Using black coated utensils.

  4. All of the above.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

To improve the efficiency of a solar cooker, the following steps need to be done:

1. The top mirror of the solar cooker focusses the solar energy onto a small area. Adjusting the mirror helps in continuous focussing of heat energy.
2. Increasing the span of glass sheet on the top allows trapping more energy in the solar cooker.
3. Black coated utensils increases the absorption of heat radiations and increases the efficiency.

Which one of the following can be used as a box type solar cooker?

  1. A double walled cooker made of plastic and its inner wall is painted white.

  2. A double walled cooker made of copper and its inner wall is painted black.

  3. A double walled cooker made of plastic and its inner wall is painted black.

  4. A single walled cooker made of copper and its both sides are painted white.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

A box-type solar cooker requires a material with good thermal conductivity (like copper) and an inner surface painted black to maximize the absorption of solar radiation.
