The rate constant for a first order reaction is 60 sec$^{-1}$. How much time will it take to reduce the concentration of the reaction to 1/10$^{th}$ of its initial value ?

18 gm of glucose (C$_6$H$_{12}$O$_6$) is dissolved in 1 kg of water in a saucepan. At what temperature will the water boil at 1.013 bar pressure ? K$_b$ for water is 0.52 K kg mol$^{-1}$.

The oxidation state of Fe in [Fe(CN)$_6$]$^{-3}$ :

It has been observed that nucleus of a living cell is responsible for this transmission of inherent characters, also called heredity. The particles in the nucleus of cell, responsible for heredity, are called chromosomes, which are made up of proteins and another type of biomolecules called nucleic acids. These are mainly of two types, the deoxyribonucleic acids (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). Since nucleic acids are long chain polymers of nucleotides, so they are also called polynucleotides. RNA molecules are of three types and they perform different functions. They are named as messenger RNA (m-RNA), ribosomal RNA (r-RNA) and transfer RNA (t-RNA).
