2 g of metal carbonate is neutralised completely by 100 mL of 0.1 N HCI. The equivalent weight of metal carbonate is:

An electric current is passed through an aqueous solution of a mixture of alanine (isoelectric point 6.0), glutamic acid (3.2) and arginine (10.7) buffered at pH 6. What is the fate of the three acids?

• Glutamic acid migrates to anode at pH 6. Arginine is present as a cation and migrates to the cathode. Alanine in a dipolar ion remains uniformly distributed in solution

• Glutamic acid migrates to cathode and others remain uniformly distributed in solution

• All three remain uniformly distributed in solution

• All three move to cathode

The representation of the ground state electronic configuration of He by box-diagram as 

$\uparrow \uparrow$

is wrong because it violates:

• Bohr's quantization theory of angular momenta

• Pauli exclusion principle

• Hund's rule
