Doubt Clearance Thread: UPSC 2021
"When in doubt, observe and ask questions. When certain, observe at length and ask many more questions."
Created this thread as a one stop solution for all members so that all the doubts wherein any conceptual clarification is required can be solved here.
@mehuifs Yes, you are correct. I just remembered this explanation somewhere from school, that as kinetic energy increases then, solubility of a gas in liquid decreases, as it becomes more difficult for solvent particles to surround solute particles. I generalized this for solid solutes too. However, it seems that this explanation doesn't work when the solute is solid, as is the case with salt and water. Of course, I forgot that chemistry is not really about learning the rules, or explanations, but the exceptions.
Sorry for the misleading explanation.
Last year around Prelims, someone mentioned about an awesome website where we can practice previous years questions according to related topics.
I have forgotten the name of the site. Can someone please remind me if s/he remembers.
Exam Robot.
We have an entire thread here with almost evey question with explanations.
"The general elevation of theplateau is from the west to the east, which isalso proved by the pattern of the flow of rivers"
^This is what NCERT says about Peninsular plateau.
Doubt- Doesn't the term 'genal elevation from a to b ' indicate that the plateau increases in elevation/height from a to b. That is b is at a higher elevation than a.
But as we know from the drainage pattern of peninsular rivers that majority of them flow from west to east. That is the western part is higher than the eastern part. So shouldn't the general elevation be from east to west?
Or am I getting it in the opposite sense of what it is?
