    More than one option is correct. All of the water-soluble vitamins such as Vitamin C and B vitamins (Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin, Pyridoxine, Cyanocobalamin and Pantothenic acid) are generally excreted by the human body through urine if they are in excess. These vitamins are absorbed by the digestive tract into the blood stream, metabolized and then excreted by the kidneys in the urine. Distinctly yellow urine may indicate excessive riboflavin (Vitamin B2) intake.

    Correct Option: E

    When copper is exposed to air, it reacts with moist carbon dioxide in the air and slowly loses its shiny brown surface and gains a green coat. This green substance is basic copper carbonate (CuCO3. Cu (OH)2). The formation of this green coating on the surface of a copper object corrodes it.

    Correct Option: B

  1. Which one of the following has a maximum tendency to form M3 ion ?

    Thee general electronic configuration of group 15 elements (N, P, As, Sb and Bi) is ns2np3. Since Nitrogen has smallest size and greatest electronegativity in the family, it may gain three electrons and attain noble gas configuration, forming nitride N3- ions. The other members show little tendency to form tri-negative M3- ions. Their electronegativity is so low that they would generally form covalent compounds even with highly electropositive elements.
