DEFERENCE: Choose the word most nearly opposite in meaning to this word.

aversion
resignation
suspicion
contempt✔️

Correct Answer Logic:

Question 1127

If $xy = 2$ and $xy^2 = 8$, what is the value of $x$?

0.5✔️
2.5
4
8

Correct Answer Logic:

From $xy = 2$: $x = \dfrac{2}{y}$
Substituting into $xy^2 = 8$: $\dfrac{2}{y} \times y^2 = 8 \Rightarrow 2y = 8 \Rightarrow y = 4$
Then $x = \dfrac{2}{4} = 0.5$

Geography QUESTION #6298

Question 1133

Which sequence correctly represents the decreasing order of salinity in world ocean regions?

Red Sea > Mediterranean Sea > Persian Gulf > Atlantic Ocean
Persian Gulf > Red Sea > Mediterranean Sea > Pacific Ocean✔️
Mediterranean Sea > Red Sea > Atlantic Ocean > Indian Ocean
Red Sea > Persian Gulf > Mediterranean Sea > Indian Ocean

Correct Answer Logic:

The Persian Gulf has the highest salinity (~40 ppt) due to extreme evaporation and restricted circulation, followed by the Red Sea (~40 ppt), Mediterranean Sea (~38 ppt), and Pacific Ocean (~34 ppt). High evaporation rates and limited freshwater input drive these variations.

Agronomy QUESTION #2048

Question 1135

Allelopathy in weed science refers to:

The competitive advantage weeds gain through deeper root systems
The release of biochemical compounds (allelochemicals) by one plant into the environment that inhibit or stimulate germination, growth, or development of another plant✔️
The resistance developed by weeds to herbicide application over successive generations
The ability of weeds to fix atmospheric nitrogen, giving them a competitive advantage

Correct Answer Logic:

Allelopathy involves the release of allelochemicals (phenolic acids, terpenoids, alkaloids) from plant roots, residues, or leachates that affect neighboring plants. In weed science, allelopathic crop varieties (e.g., allelopathic rice) suppress weed germination — a key component of cultural weed management.

Physics QUESTION #1040

Question 1136

A container with $V_1=2\ \text{L},\ n_1=5\ \text{mol},\ p_1=1\ \text{atm}$ and $V_2=3\ \text{L},\ n_2=4\ \text{mol},\ p_2=2\ \text{atm}$ is separated by a thermal insulator. When partition is removed, equilibrium pressure is:

1.4 atm
1.8 atm
1.3 atm
1.6 atm✔️

Correct Answer Logic:

Since the partition is a thermal insulator, after mixing the total internal energy is conserved. For ideal gas: $U \propto nT$. From ideal gas law: $T_1=\frac{p_1V_1}{n_1R}=\frac{1\times2}{5R}=\frac{2}{5R}$ and $T_2=\frac{2\times3}{4R}=\frac{6}{4R}$. Final $T_f = \frac{n_1T_1+n_2T_2}{n_1+n_2}=\frac{5\cdot\frac{2}{5R}+4\cdot\frac{6}{4R}}{9}=\frac{\frac{2}{R}+\frac{6}{R}}{9}=\frac{8}{9R}$. Final $p=\frac{(n_1+n_2)RT_f}{V_1+V_2}=\frac{9R\cdot\frac{8}{9R}}{5}=\frac{8}{5}=1.6\ \text{atm}$.

Physics QUESTION #7020

Question 1137

A vessel contains $15\text{ g}$ of Nitrogen gas at $27^\circ\text{ C}$. How much heat must be transferred to the gas so that the $rms$ velocity of the molecules is doubled? (Use $R = 8.3\text{ J/K mole}$)

$0.9\text{ kJ}$
$6\text{ kJ}$
$10\text{ kJ}$
$14\text{ kJ}$✔️

Correct Answer Logic:

To double the $rms$ velocity, the absolute temperature $T$ must increase four times because $v_{rms} \propto \sqrt{T}$. Initial $T = 300\text{ K}$, final $T = 1200\text{ K}$, so $\Delta T = 900\text{ K}$. Heat $Q = n C_v \Delta T$. For $N_2$ (diatomic), $C_v = \frac{5}{2}R$. Number of moles $n = \frac{15}{28}$. $Q = (\frac{15}{28}) \times (\frac{5}{2} \times 8.3) \times 900 \approx 10,000\text{ J}$ or $10\text{ kJ}$.
