Read the assertion and reason carefully and answer the question on the basis of the following options. You have to select the one that best describes the two statements.


Assertion: Potassium and caesium are used in photoelectric cells.
Reason: Potassium and caesium emit electrons on exposure to light.

chemistry the s-block elements (alkali and alkaline earth metals) uses of alkali and alkaline earth metals uses of s block elements group 1 elements: alkali metals

  1. If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion

  2. If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion

  3. If the assertion is true but reason is false

  4. If both the assertion and reason are false

  5. If the assertion is false but the reason is true

A metal salt solution forms a yellow precipitate with potassium chromate in acetic acid, a white precipitate with dilute sulphuric acid but does not give precipitate with sodium chloride or iodide. The white precipitate obtained when sodium carbonate is added to the metal salt solution will consist of:

chemistry the s-block elements (alkali and alkaline earth metals) uses of alkali and alkaline earth metals uses of s block elements group 1 elements: alkali metals

  1. lead carbonate

  2. basic lead carbonate

  3. barium carbonate

  4. strontium carbonate

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Pb and Ba both give yellow ppt with $K _2CrO _4$ in acetic and white precipitate with dil. $H _2SO _4$. but lead salts give a precipitate with sodium chloride or iodide also whereas barium does not. It means given salt is barium salts and with sodium carbonate, it gives a white precipitate of barium carbonate.

  1. Calcium gives a brick-red light

  2. Sodium gives a yellow light

  3. Copper gives a green light

  4. Strontium gives a blue light

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:
The Magical Colors of Fireworks
  • Red-strontium salts, lithium salts.
  • Orange- calcium salts.
  • Gold-incandescence of iron (with carbon), charcoal, or lampblack.
  • Yellow-sodium compounds.
  • White-white-hot metal, such as magnesium or aluminum.
  • Green-barium compounds + chlorine producer,copper.
  • Blue-copper compounds + chlorine producer.
  • Brick-red light-Calcium

Hence option D is wrong option.

Sparkling red colour after the blast of fire crackers is due to the presence of:

chemistry the s-block elements (alkali and alkaline earth metals) uses of alkali and alkaline earth metals uses of s block elements group 1 elements: alkali metals

  1. sulphur

  2. sodium

  3. strontium

  4. magnesium

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Firework colors come from the use of metal salts, packed in pellets called “stars.”Metal salts commonly used in firework displays include: strontium carbonate (red fireworks), calcium chloride (orange fireworks), sodium nitrate (yellow fireworks), barium chloride (green fireworks) and copper chloride (blue fireworks). 

Hence,Sparkling red colour after the blast of fire crackers is due to the presence of Strontium.

Cancer is a disease where body cells grow unchecked. A protein found in the body interferes with the growth of cancer cells. It is used for the treatment of cancer. Identify it.

chemistry the s-block elements (alkali and alkaline earth metals) uses of alkali and alkaline earth metals uses of s block elements group 1 elements: alkali metals

  1. Haemoglobin

  2. Casein

  3. Keratin

  4. Interferon

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Casein is a slow-digesting dairy protein that people often take as a supplement. It releases amino acids slowly, so people often take it before bed to help with recovery and reduce muscle breakdown while they sleep. Several studies have shown it helps boost muscle growth, along with a ton of other benefits.

Also Casein interferes with the growth of cancer cells and hence is also used for the treatment of cancer.
Hence option B is correct answer.
