The first _____________________________ to be studied in detail was:
2 Sn2+ → Sn4+ + Sn
This was examined using tartrates by Johan Gadolin in 1788. In the Swedish version of his paper he called it 'söndring‘.

If a,b,c are positive real numbers, what is the smallest possible value of[(a+b)/c] + [(b+c)/a] + [(c+a)/b]Where [.] is the greatest integer function.
![Page 12: IISER Tvm Science Day Quiz Finals 2012](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062405/55628aced8b42ad1688b5608/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Answer: [(a+b)/c] + [(b+c)/a] + [(c+a)/b] > (a+b)/c + (b+c)/a + (c+a)/b - 3
[(a+b)/c] + [(b+c)/a] + [(c+a)/b] > (a/b)+(b/a) + (b/c)+(c/b) + (c/a)+(a/c) - 3
A.M.- G.M. inequality gives RHS is > 2 + 2 + 2 – 3 > 3
Since LHS is an integer, the smallest possible value is 4.

A glass containing wine is swirled a bit and then held steady. The shadow of the glass is observed on a screen. As shown in the image the wine rises up to a certain height along the walls of the glass and then starts to trickle down again. This phenomenon is referred to as ‘tears of the wine’. Knowing that this wine has a 13.5% alcohol content and that alcohol is more volatile than water, how do you explain this phenomenon?
![Page 14: IISER Tvm Science Day Quiz Finals 2012](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062405/55628aced8b42ad1688b5608/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Answer:This is the Gibbs-Marangoni effect. Ethanol evaporates from the beverage where it is wetting the sides of the glass. In the absence of ethanol, the surface tension of the liquor on the sides increases, so it contracts to minimize the surface area. This in turn brings more ethanol-laden liquor to the top and starts to form ‘tears’. The tears form at the highest point, since there is less ethanol there. As the process continues, the tears become large enough that they roll down under their own weight.

The Blue Screen of Death (also called BSoD, Blue Screen, or bluescreen), known officially as a Stop Error or a bug check, is the error screen displayed by the Microsoft Windows family of operating systems upon encountering a critical error, of a non-recoverable nature, that causes the system to "crash." The term is named after the color of the screen generated by the error. In UNIX-based operating systems, a similar term is kernel panic.

The number of transistors that can be placed inexpensively on an integrated circuit doubles approximately every two years. This trend has continued for more than half a century and is expected to continue until at least 2015 or 2020. What is this called?
![Page 20: IISER Tvm Science Day Quiz Finals 2012](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062405/55628aced8b42ad1688b5608/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Answer:Moore’s lawThe law is named after Intel co-founder Gordon E. Moore, who described the trend in his 1965 paper. The paper noted that the number of components in integrated circuits had doubled every year from the invention of the integrated circuit in 1958 until 1965 and predicted that the trend would continue "for at least ten years". His prediction has proved to be uncannily accurate, in part because the law is now used in the semiconductor industry to guide long-term planning and to set targets for research and development.

X was born on December 10, 1815 in Marylebone, London Growing up, X's mother tried to discourage her from becoming a poet like her father. Instead, she immersed X in mathematics, music, and science. Despite her studies, X's appreciation for the poetic was always underlying in her mathematics. She wrote to Charles Babbage in 1843 asking for assistance working with Bernoulli numbers. In her request, she wrote ""I want to put in something about Bernoulli's Numbers...as an example of how an implicit function may be worked out by the engine, without having been worked out by human head and hand." The result of this work was widely accepted as the first computer program.
She is the only woman ever to have a programming language named after her by the United States Department of Defense (DoD) in the 1970s.In 1998, the British Computer Society (BCS) awarded a medal in the name of X.
X’s face is used as hologram by Microsoft for authentification.
