An atomic clock is based on transitions in - (1) Sodium (2) Caesium (3) Magnesium (4) Aluminium

1 Answer

Answer :

(2) Caesium Explanation: An atomic clock is a clock device that uses an electronic transition frequency in the microwave, optical, or ultraviolet region of the electromagnetic spectrum of atoms as a frequency standard for its timekeeping element. Atomic clocks are the most accurate time and frequency standards known, and are used as primary standards for international time distribution services, to control the wave frequency of television broadcasts, and in global navigation satellite systems such as GPS.

Description : Antacid tablets consist of – (1) Hydroxides of sodium, magnesium and aluminium (2) Hydroxides of magnesium and aluminium (3) Hydroxides of sodium and aluminium (4) Hydroxides of magnesium and sodium

Last Answer : (2) Hydroxides of magnesium and aluminium Explanation: An antacid is a base which neutralizes stomach acidity. The most common of these bases are hydroxides, carbonates, or bicarbonates such as Aluminum hydroxide, Calcium. carbonate, Magnesium carbonate, Magnesium hydroxide, and Sodium bicarbonate.

Description : Why are cimetidine or ranitidine better antacids than sodium bicarbonate or magnesium or aluminium hydroxide ? 

Last Answer : Ans. If excess of NaHCO3 or Mg (OH)2 or Al (OH)3 is used, it makes the stomach alkaline and thus triggers the release of even more HCl. In contrast, cimetidine or ranitidine prevent the interaction of histamine with the receptor cells in the stomach wall and thus release lesser amount of HCl.
