13. Assertion : Sodium metal is stored under Kerosene. [1] (ii) 2HgO(s) + heat $ 2Hg(l) + O2(g)
Reason : Metallic sodium melts when exposed to air. Mercuric oxide Mercury Oxygen
Ans : (c) Assertion (A) is true but reason (R) is false. 16. Differentiate between strong and weak acids. Identify
Sodium is a very reactive metal. It is kept in kerosene the strong and weak acids from the following list of

Ans :
(a) V = IR & R = V = 2 V = 20 Ω
I 0.1 A
(b) One resistor has 176 ohm resistance.
Given, Current, (I) = 5 A,
Potential difference, (V) = 220 V
Total resistance of the circuit = V = 220 V = 44 Ω
or I 5A
Let the number of 176 Ω resistors in parallel be x .
