Question
Why should there be equitable distribution of resources? List three forces that would be working against an equitable distribution of our resources.

Answer

  • Need for equitable distribution of resources :
So that all and not just a handful of rich and powerful people benefit from the development of these resources/ all living beings have a birthright to the available resources.
  • Forces against equitable distribution of resources :
  1. Industrialists who work for their own benefit/ profit.
  2. When environmental laws/ rules are not implemented properly.
  3. Mismanagement in the distribution of natural resources or any other relevant answer.

No chemical reaction takes place when granules of a solid, A, are mixed with the powder of another solid, B. However when the mixture is heated, a reaction takes place between its components. One of the products, C, is a metal and settles down in the molten state while the other product, D, floats over it. It was observed that the reaction is highly exothermic.
  1. Based on the given information make an assumption about A and B and write a chemical equation for the chemical reaction indicating the conditions of reaction, physical state of reactants and products and thermal status of the reaction.
  2. Mention any two types of reactions under which above chemical reaction can be classified.
