McDonald's reports profit gain but investors disappointed by revenue picture

OAK BROOK, ILL.—McDonald's third-quarter profit rose 5 per cent, as the world's biggest hamburger chain benefited from a Monopoly promotion in the U.S. and strength in the U.K. and Russia.
But revenue missed analyst expectations and shares slid more than 2 per cent in premarket trading.
After outperforming rivals for years, McDonald's has struggled recently as it faces heightened competition, shifting eating habits and tough economic conditions around the world. Late last year, its monthly sales at stores open at least a year fell for nearly the first time in a decade.
"Our results reflect McDonald's ability to grow amid the broad-based challenges of the current environment by focusing on those areas of the business within our control," said CEO Don Thompson.
For the three months ended Sept. 30, net income rose to $1.52 billion (dollar figures U.S.), or $1.52 per share. That compared with $1.46 billion, or $1.43 per share, last year. Analysts expected $1.51 per share, according to FactSet.
Revenue rose 2 per cent to $7.32 billion from $7.15 billion last year. Analysts expected $7.33 billion.
McDonald's, based in Oak Brook, Ill., said sales in stores open at least 13 months rose 0.9 per cent, including a 0.7 per cent rise in the U.S. and a 0.2 per cent rise in Europe. The measure, considered important because it gauges growth at continuing locations after stripping out recently opened and closed stores, fell 1.4 per cent in the Asia/Pacific, Middle East and Africa regions.
U.S. results benefited from its Monopoly game and the introduction of Mighty Wings as a national limited time offer.
Looking forward, McDonald's expects fourth quarter sales in stores open at least 13 months will be on par with the third quarter's 0.9 per cent rise.
"While we are focused on strengthening our near-term performance, the current environment continues to pressure results," Thompson said.
To push up sales, the company has been taking a two-pronged approach. On the one end, it's playing up its Dollar Menu and other affordable options to draw in customers who may be watching their spending more carefully. The strategy has forced rivals Burger King and Wendy's to more aggressively push deals and promotions as well. Some analysts have worried that the strategy could eat into profit margins and indeed, McDonald's said margin percentages are expected to continue to decline in the fourth quarter.
At the same time, McDonald's is also trying to adjust its image and menu to better reflect shifting eating habits. In the U.S., for example, the company recently rolled out chicken wraps and the option to substitute egg whites in any of its breakfast sandwiches. Early next year, it also said it will start giving customers the option to pick a salad instead of fries with their value meals.
McDonald's has more than 34,000 locations around the world.
Shares fell $2, or 2.1 per cent, to $93.20 in premarket trading. The stock closed Friday at $95.20, up about 8 per cent since the start of the year.

The perfect storm of the Bank of Canada rate cut, weak oil prices, a sluggish economy and a looming Federal election are ganging up to push the loonie as low as 70 cents, economists say
We could be at the beginning of a long bear market for the loonie, says Gluskin-Sheff's chief economist. Here are seven reasons why
The odds of a rate cut jumped today after the economy headed into its second quarter of decline. Here's what the economists are saying
Gluskin-Sheff's chief economist predicts the Canadian dollar will retest lows of 78 US cents as the continuing oil slump and a possible Fed rate hike in September puts pressure on the currency
The Bank of Canada's governor Stephen Poloz might be more inclined to a second rate cut this year after a look at today's dismal data, economists say
Hurry up and wait? The Bank kept rates where they are today but a close reading of its statement reveals hints of where they might be headed from here
The raging fire that is out of control in northern Alberta will further hit Canada's GDP, already hammered by the collapse in oil prices, warn economists
Fresh data out today shows our housing market is a lot more resilient than we thought, with gains no longer driven by just two powerhouses, says BMO
The global recovery has been so weak and so prolonged that when we hit the next iceberg on the horizon, there won't be enough lifeboats to go around
The S&P 500 is headed for its first 'earnings recession' since 2009, but Gluskin-Sheff's chief economist would like to clear up a few points before you go running for the exits
If they haven't posted huge losses this week, as many have, energy companies are busy preparing for a new Alberta corporate tax increase. The Financial Post's Geoffrey Morgan reports
Other stores offer better deals on items like DVDs, diapers and designer clothing than Costco, but you can't beat the famously cheap hot dog and pop at its food court
Diane Francis: The Oct. 19 election is Prime Minister Stephen Harper's to lose, but he won't for a number of reasons
Purpose Investment's Som Seif says there is no driving force for future commodity price appreciation
In a recent interview, Yves Desjardins-Siciliano talks about why executives must 'earn their right to have an opinion' and how 'a cultural shift requires resilience and positivism'

With this you have to conclude that Israeli leadership is even dumber than Palestinian leadership. Yes, by all means vote for that master negotiator, Ehud Olmert, our maximum freier, who will give, give, give to Hamas for nothing, nothing, nothing in return. Next the Palestinians will be after negotiations on the remaining lands and 3/4 of Israel. Vote for Netanyahu or Peretz instead. This man should be leading the French, not Israel.
from the article: Peres balks at Olmert's plans for further West Bank pullout


text: what about the million jews who were kicked out of arab countries and settled in Israel. What can we do about this problem? Perhaps it is only palestians who have been victimized? If your arab "brothers" told you to stay in your homes (as some arabs did) you would not be in Gaza. The blame goes to your "brothers" not with Israel !!

World Championships 2013: Perri Shakes-Drayton powers into 400m hurdles final
Briton wins semi-final in Moscow
Tuesday 13 August 2013
Perri Shakes-Drayton fired out a statement of intent by powering into
the 400 metres hurdles final at the World Championships in Moscow
The Londoner produced a strong finish down the home straight to win her semi-final in 53.92 seconds, running down a fading Lashinda Demus, the defending champion from the United States, over the last couple of barriers.
Scotland's Eilidh Child ensured there would be two Britons in the medal race as she finished third in the first heat, flying through the first 250m before coming home in third place in 54.32secs.
Meghan Beesley ran a huge personal best of 54.97s, but sixth place was not good enough to progress.
Shakes-Drayton is set for a titanic battle with Czech gold medal favourite Zuzanna Hejnova in Thursday's final, with the world number one the fastest qualifier in 53.52.
Thursday's race will be a first global outdoor final for Shakes-Drayton after she missed out at London 2012 and she admitted it was a relief.
She said: "It's so draining, even mentally. It's done now, now it's just the last bit.
"It (London 2012) came to my head. I thought, 'I've been here before, but why are you thinking like this Perri, put that behind you, that was in the past'.
"Why am I thinking about putting doubts in my head? That was gone once I got into my blocks."
And, with qualification, those doubts have now gone.
"I've done it, I'm past that bit," she said.
Child added: "I was a quite nervous tonight. I wanted it a lot and I knew I could do it. To come away and know I've made that final, I can sleep well tonight
"If I can get it even better on Thursday and smash by personal best I'll be delighted. I want to run my best race in the final when it matters."
But Dai Greene, the defending champion in the men's 400m hurdles whose build-up has been plagued by injury and illness, bowed out in the semi-finals.
Greene, who admitted after struggling though his heat yesterday he had endured "a nightmare few days", was clearly lacking fitness as he finished fifth in 49.25.
The Welshman was ill over the weekend, to add to the calf tear that hampered his training over the past weeks.
European champion Rhys Williams also went out, finishing fourth in his semi in 49.29.
And so too did Sebastian Rodger, who finished sixth in 49.32, leaving no British representation in the final.

Report: Pirates Offering $25 M for Russell Martin
News and Rumors
Jon Heyman of CBS Sports has an update on the Russell Martin bidding, noting that the Pirates and Yankees seem to be the leaders in the race. He notes that the Pirates actually may have the high bid at the moment.
Word going around is that the Pirates might come in with the high bid, perhaps for three years and close to $25 million. The Yankees are not believed to be offering anything close to that, but the bidding isn't over and it has been thought likely that Martin would prefer to stay in New York, where he has been the starting catcher the past two seasons.
The Yankees are thought likely to be offering only a two-year deal to date, but if they get close to Pittsburgh's reputed offer, either by bumping up the salary, adding an option year or perhaps even a third year, they still might have the inside track. Martin is well-liked in Yankees circles, and there aren't a lot of great outside options.
From everything I've seen, the Yankees really like Martin. I'd be surprised if they...

Anonymous, 17 Jun 2012DO NOT GET THIS PHONE if it got the S3 chip. Don't be fooled by the clock speed, the S3 is a c... moreWhat are you guys talking about? This uses a S4.
hey guys i have a very important question
you know that the display of this phone is super amoled which uses pentile matrix
i heard that pentile displays does not have a good quality
i want to ask you that how is pentile with you when you use your mobile?
how is the quality of the display?
please help me
because i want to buy a one s
hepl meeeeeeeeeeeeee
Currently the One s is priced @ 36150 , an unconventional pricing for a far inferior product with the s3. Its infact higher than HTC One x. When samsung Galaxy S3 is @ 38 k , why some body would look at this ! Its continuously HTC has been ignoring the Indian market , some serious issues with the strategy level as they dont have adequate service centers too. First they brought HTC rhyme without dock with a very high pricing -no colour choices, then they now bring HTC one s - inferior specs , a pricing what no body would consider it to buy. The revenue of the company is falling globally , this kind of move would further bring it downward only. One god move would be to bring htc j isw13ht in India with a price tag of 28-30k.It would definitely grab the attention.
very good phone except for the display it sucks it is really really pixelated...
I think price of HTC one s in india as quoted by infibeam would be completely wrong. Since HTC One X is above One S when compared to specification like screen size, processor etc.. also HTC do not cannibalize its top of line smart phone with inferior version. HTC One S price would be around 33K MRP.
htcIndia, 16 Jun 2012Yesterday i went to a mobile store they told me that HTC one S stock will be available from 16... moreITs with s3 processor so not good..better go for oneX as the price diff. Is not too much!!
Infact even in Singapore oneS is 750 sing dollars and oneX is 745 sing dollars. Ridiculous. HTC needs to rethink their pricing urgently. OneS at best should be pitted against the S2 which is 27-28k. Granted OneX is brilliant but dont forget the looming samsung galaxies (S2 and S3)
check dis out..its a freakin s3 chipset.
go get a one x instead!!
Ridiculous. Infibeam is charging 39k less 3000 discount so 36k. I dont know whether 26-27 k as advised by one contributor seems possible now? HTC deserves to bomb out with this one - ridiculously high price, lower processor, no reason for me to buy the 1s when the 1x is available for as low as 35k on various websites.
Go burn, htc.
Yesterday i went to a mobile store they told me that HTC one S stock will be available from 16th june.
they had the dummy and price told was around Rs.26-27k
waiting for it. anybody who like to share info regarding to this.
HTC seems to have priced it above 36000/- at least that is what below site has given price of the handset with downgraded processor:
:lol ... that's awesome ... One X is cheaper than One S :D
waited for so long for the HTC One S and now it comes with the older processor. a real shame. had liked the phone for its size ans other specs.. Now will have to buy the One X. Really disappointed after waiting so long
It is totally nonsense i am waiting for this phone from about 2 month & finally it gone to launch in india , they change the processor s4 to s3,why should i pay 33k for last year outdated technology which facing so many issues .It is so sad the htc cutting there now legs ......
What's this.... with S4 processor....
s4 one s nenamark 2= 60.7 fps
s3 xperia s nenamark 2= 37.8 fps
tegra 3 one x nenamark 2= 45.5 fps
s4 one s dualcore quadrant scored 4700p
tegra 3 quad core quadrant scored 4800p
almost same with doubled the cores!!
HTC will launch this phone with S4 chips in india later...
but already we have waited for 2 months... are another few months worth the wait or shud we buy dis one wid s3 chipd or shud we jus go for another cell phone now...
HTC are quietly brilliant in confusing people.
Batty, 14 Jun 2012Again HTC India changed the processor to 1.7GHz...WTF.. :-XXXXXXHahaha! This page is funny. I wanted the One S for so long, then yesterday finally picked up the Galaxy Nexus. And believe me, it's a GEM of a phone. Am so glad I went for this instead of stupid HTC that doesn't respect its customers and thinks we're fools. I love my Nexus :)

VIEWS: 11 PAGES: 14 CATEGORY: High School POSTED ON: 9/14/2012 Public Domain
2/4/2011 Subjective Test Paper - Chemistry - Meri… Chemistry 2009 Set 1 Close Subjective Test (i) All questions are compulsory. (ii) This question paper consists of four sections A, B, C and D. Section A contains 8 questions of one mark each. Section B is of 10 questions of two marks each. Section C is of 9 questions of three marks each and Section D is of 3 questions of five marks each. (iii) There is no overall choice. However, an internal choice has been provided. (iv) Wherever necessary, the diagrams drawn should be neat and properly labelled. Section A Question 1 ( 1.0 marks) Which point defect in crystals does not affect the density of the relevant solid? Solution: Frenkel defect in crystals does not affect the density of the relevant solid. Question 2 ( 1.0 marks) Define the term 'Tyndall effect'. Solution: Tyndall effect is observed when a fine beam of light enters a room through a small hole. It happens because of the scattering of light by particles of colloidal and suspension solutions. Question 3 ( 1.0 marks) Why is the froth flotation method selected for the concentration of sulphide ores? Solution: Froth flotation process is selected for the concentration of sulphide ores as in this process, sulphide ore particles are preferentially wetted by oil whereas gangue particles are wetted by water. Question 4 ( 1.0 marks) Why is Bi (V) a stronger oxidant than Sb (V)? Solution: Bismuth and antimony both belong to the nitrogen family and exhibit the +5 oxidation state. However, on moving down the group, i.e., from antimony to bismuth, the stability of the +5 oxidation state decreases. This is due to the inert pair effect. Thus, Bi (V) is a stronger oxidant than Sb (V). Question 5 ( 1.0 marks) Give the IUPAC name of the following compound: Solution: 2 − Bromo-3-methyl-but-2-ene-1-ol. …meritnation.com/…/Cuy6WobDThiILNv… 1/14 2/4/2011 Subjective Test Paper - Chemistry - Meri… Question 6 ( 1.0 marks) Write the structure of 3-oxopentanal. Solution: Question 7 ( 1.0 marks) Why is an alkylamine more basic than ammonia? Solution: An alkylamine is more basic than ammonia because of inductive effect (+I effect). Alkyl group or 'R' has an electron-releasing effect, which increases electron density over nitrogen atom. This increases its basicity. Question 8 ( 1.0 marks) Give an example of elastomer. Solution: Natural rubber is an example of elastomer. Section B Question 9 ( 2.0 marks) A reaction is of second order with respect to a reactant. How will the rate of reaction be affected if the concentration of this reactant is (i) Doubled, (ii) Reduced to half? Solution: (i) When the concentration of the reactant is doubled, the rate of reaction will become four times. (ii) When the concentration of the reactant is reduced to half, the rate of reaction will become one- fourth. Question 10 ( 2.0 marks) Explain the role of (i) Cryolite in the electrolytic reduction of alumina. (ii) Carbon monoxide in the purification of nickel. Solution: (i) Cryolite is used in the electrolytic reduction of alumina so as to reduce its melting point and make it a good conductor of electricity. (ii) Carbon monoxide is used in the purification of nickel because it reacts with nickel to give a volatile complex called nickel tetracarbonyl, which on heating, decomposes to gives pure nickel metal.

What is the effect of change in temperature of a solution on its molality and molarity? Solution: Molarity of a solution is defined as the number of gram moles of solute present in l L of solution, while molality of a solution is defined as the number of gram moles of solute present in 1 kg of solvent. Molality of a solution decreases with increase in temperature, while molality of a solution is not affected by temperature. Question 14 ( 2.0 marks) Which ones in the following pairs of substances undergoes SN2 substitution reaction faster and why? (i) (ii) or Solution: (i) undergoes SN2 substitution reaction faster than . This is because the alkyl group present in benzyl chloride increases its basicity due to +I effect. Stronger the base, lesser is its leaving ability. So, reacts faster. (ii) Iodide is a weaker base than chloride. Weaker the base, greater is its leaving ability. So, undergoes SN2 substitution reaction faster.

It is an amide bond formed between −COOH of one amino acid and −NH2 group of another amino acid by the loss of water molecule. (ii) The linkage formed by the reaction of the −OH group of anomeric carbon of a monosaccharide with the −OH group of other monosaccharide is called glycosidic linkage. Question 17 ( 2.0 marks) Name two water soluble vitamins, their sources and the diseases caused due to their deficiency in diet. Solution: Thiamine (vitamin B1 ) & riboflavin (vitamin B2 ) are soluble in water. Thiamine is found in unpolished rice, whole cereals, yeast, egg yolk, milk, green vegetables, etc. The deficiency of thiamine causes beriberi and loss of appetite. Riboflavin is found in egg yolk, liver, milk and green leafy vegetables. The deficiency of riboflavin causes cracked lips, sore tongue and skin disorders. Question 18 ( 2.0 marks) Draw the structures of the monomers of the follow ing polymers: (i) Teflon (ii) Polythene OR What is the repeating unit in the condensation polymer obtained by combining HO 2 CCH2 CH2 CO 2 H (succinic acid) and H2 NCH2 CH2 NH2 (ethylene diamine)? Solution: (a) The monomer present in Teflon is Tetrafloroethylene. The structure of the monomer of teflon is (b) The monomer present in polythene is ethene. The structure of the monomer of polythene is OR The repeating unit of the condensation polymer obtained by combining succinic acid and ethylene …meritnation.com/…/Cuy6WobDThiILNv… 4/14 2/4/2011 The repeating unit of the Subjective Test Paper - Chemistry - and ethylene condensation polymer obtained by combining succinic acid Meri… diamine is Section C Question 19 ( 3.0 marks) Iron has a body-centred cubic unit cell w ith a cell edge of 286.65 pm. The density of iron is 7.87 g cm−3 . Use this information to calculate Avogadro's number. (At. Mass of Fe = 56 g mol−1 ) Solution: In a body-centred cubic unit cell, number of atoms present = 2 At mass of iron = 56 g mol−1 Density of iron = 7.87 g cm−3 Mass of iron = 7.87 × Volume Volume in BCC = (a)3 = (286.65)3 pm = 2.34 × 10 −23 cm Mass = 7.87 × 2.34 × 10−23 g ∴ Avogadro's number = 6.022 × 1023 Question 20 ( 3.0 marks) 100 mg of a protein is dissolved in just enough water to make 10.0 mL of solution. If this solution has an osmotic pressure of 13.3 mm Hg at 25°C, what is the molar mass of the protein? (R = 0.0821 L atm mol−1 K−1 and 760 mm Hg = 1 atm) Solution: We know that Osmotic pressure (π) π = 13.3 mm Hg V = 10 mL = 10/1000 L = 0.01 L R = 0.0821 L atom mol−1 K−1 T = 25ºC = 273 + 25 K = 298 K W = 100 mg = 100/1000 g = 0.1 g On putting the above values in the formula, we get …meritnation.com/…/Cuy6WobDThiILNv… 5/14 2/4/2011 Subjective Test Paper - Chemistry - Meri… Thus, the molar mass of the protein is . Question 21 ( 3.0 marks) A first-order reaction has a rate constant of 0.0051 min −1 . If we begin with 0.10 M concentration of the reactant, what concentration of reactant will remain in the solution after 3 hours? Solution: The integrated rate equation of the first-order reaction is Here, A0 = Initial concentration = 0.10 M k = 0.0051 min-1 t = 3 hours = 3 × 60 min Log 0.1 − log A = 0.4 Log A = −1 − 0.4 A= antilog (−1 − 0.4) A = 0.0398 Question 22 ( 3.0 marks) How are the following colloids different from each other with respect to dispersion medium and dispersed phase? Give one example of each type. (i) An aerosol (ii) A hydrosol (iii) An emulsion Solution: (i) An aerosol is a suspension of a solid or a liquid in a gas. Example: smog, smoke (ii) Hydrosol is a colloidal suspension of essential oils. It is obtained from steam distillation of aromatic plants, Example: rose water used as facial toner (iii) An emulsion contains one liquid dispersed in another liquid. Example: butter and margarine; milk and cream Question 23 ( 3.0 marks) Account for the following: (i) NH3 is a stronger base than PH3 . (ii) Sulphur has a greater tendency for catenation than oxygen. (iii) Bond dissociation energy of F2 is less than that of Cl2 . OR Explain the following situations: (i) In the structure of HNO 3 molecule, the N − O bond (121 pm) is shorter than the N − OH bond (140 pm). (ii) SF4 is easily hydrolysed whereas SF6 is not easily hydrolysed. (iii) XeF2 has a straight linear structure and not a bent angular structure. Solution: …meritnation.com/…/Cuy6WobDThiILNv… 6/14 2/4/2011 Subjective Test Paper - Chemistry - Meri… (i) On moving from nitrogen to phosphorus, i.e., down the group, the atomic size increases. As the size of the central atom increases, the lone pair of electrons occupy a larger volume. Consequently, the electron density, and hence, the basic strength decrease. Thus, NH3 is a stronger base than PH3 . (ii) The tendency for catenation depends upon the bond energy. The bond energy of a sulphur molecule is more than that of an oxygen molecule. Thus, the sulphur − sulphur bond strength is higher, and as a result, the tendency of catenation is also higher. Sulphur shows catenation up to eight atoms. (iii) Bond dissociation energy of fluorine is less than that of chlorine. It is due to the low value of electron affinity of small-sized fluorine. Also, the value of enthalpy of hydration of fluorine is much higher than that of chlorine. OR (i) The structure of nitric acid is The N − O bond has a double-bond character. On the other hand, N − OH bond is a single bond. Since a double bond is shorter than a single bond, the N − O bond (121 pm) is shorter than the N − OH bond (140 pm). (ii) SF4 is easily hydrolysed whereas SF6 is not easily hydrolysed. SF6 is an inert, non- toxic gas. This is due to the presence of stearically protected six fluorine atoms. As a result, reactions like hydrolysis are not allowed to take place. (iii) According to VSEPR theory, XeF2 has trigonal bipyramidal geometry with sp3d hybridisation. It has two bond pairs and three lone pairs of electrons. The bond pairs occupy axial positions and the lone pairs occupy the equatorial positions. This is the most favourable arrangement as far as stability is concerned. The tw o fluorine atoms if placed at the equatorial positions will face minimum repulsion, and this would consequently increase the stability. Hence, the structure is linear. Question 24 ( 3.0 marks) For the complex [Fe(en)2 Cl2 ] Cl, (en = ethylene diamine), identify (i) The oxidation number of iron, (ii) The hybrid orbitals and the shape of the complex, (iii) The magnetic behaviour of the complex, (iv) The number of geometrical isomers, (v) Whether there is an optical isomer also, and (vi) Name of the complex. (At. No. of Fe = 26) Solution: (i) Let the oxidation number of Fe in be x. The oxidation state of Fe can be calculated as follows: x + 2 (0) + 2 (-1) = + 1 Or, x − 2 = 1 Or, x = 3 …meritnation.com/…/Cuy6WobDThiILNv… 7/14 2/4/2011 Subjective Test Paper - Chemistry - Meri… Or, x = 3 (ii) The electronic configuration of Fe 3+ is 1s 2 2s 2 2p6 3s 2 3p6 3d5 So, hybridisation of Fe 3+ is sp3 d2 , i.e., one s, three p and two d orbitals hybridise. It has octahedral geometry (iii) The complex is para magnetic due to the presence of 5 unpaired electrons. (iv) This complex exists as cis-trans isomers. Thus, it has 2 geometrical isomers. (v) The cis isomer exhibits optical activity. (vi) The name of the complex is Dichlorobis-(ethylenediamine) iron (III) chloride. Question 25 ( 3.0 marks) Explain the mechanism of the following reactions: (i) Addition of Grignard's reagent to the carbonyl group of a compound forming an adduct followed by hydrolysis. (ii) Acid catalysed dehydration of an alcohol forming an alkene. (iii) Acid catalysed hydration of an alkene forming an alcohol. Solution: (i) Grignard's reagent is an alkyl magnesium halide. The alkyl group has a partial negative charge, whereas the magnesium group has a partial positive charge. The alkyl group attacks the carbon of the carbonyl group to form an addition compound. Grignard's reagent acts as a nucleophilic agent and attacks electrophilic carbon atoms to yield a carbon − carbon bond. The addition to the nucleophile is an irreversible process due to the high pka value of the alkyl group. (ii) When heated with concentrated sulphuric acid, phosphoric acid or boric acid, alcohols undergo dehydration to form alkenes. The mechanism of this reaction involves the protonation of alcohol, followed by loss of a water molecule and a proton. (a) (b) …meritnation.com/…/Cuy6WobDThiILNv… 8/14 2/4/2011 Subjective Test Paper - Chemistry - Meri… (c) During the dehydration of alcohol, the intermediate carbocation may undergo re-arrangement, resulting in the formation of a stable carbocation. (iii) Some reactive alkenes like 2 − methyl propene undergo direct hydration in the presence of mineral acids which act as catalysts. The addition of water to the double bond takes place in accordance with Markonikoff's rule. Question 26 ( 3.0 marks) Giving an example for each, describe the following reactions: (i) Hofmann's bromamide reaction (ii) Gatterman reaction (iii) A coupling reaction Solution: (i) Hofmann's bromamide reaction: It involves the reaction of bromine with an acid amide in the presence of an alkali. It results in the formation of a primary amine with one carbon less than the parent compound. Here, the alkyl group migrates from carbonyl, with the elimination of CO 2 . For example: (ii) Gatterman reaction: This is a modification of Sandmeyer reaction in which benzenediazonium chloride is treated with copper powder and halogen acid to form aryl halides. (iii) Coupling reaction: It is the reaction of diazonium salts with phenols and aromatic amines to form azo compounds of the general formula Ar − N = N − Ar. The coupling of phenol takes place in a mildly alkaline medium. Question 27 ( 3.0 marks) Explain the following types of substances with one suitable example, for each case: (i) Cationic detergents (ii) Food preservatives (iii) Analgesics Solution: (i) Cationic detergents are quaternary ammonium salts such as chlorides and acetates. Example − Cetyl trimethyl ammonium chloride …meritnation.com/…/Cuy6WobDThiILNv… 9/14 2/4/2011 Subjective Test Paper - Chemistry - Meri… These detergents are very good cleansing agents and are used as germicidals. (ii) Food preservatives are chemical substances used for inhibiting the growth of micro-organisms in food materials so as to prevent their spoilage. Example − benzoic acid and sulphur dioxide Benzoic acid is used for preserving fruits, fruit juices, jams, etc.,as it is soluble in water, while sulphur dioxide is used for the preservation of colourless food materials. (iii) Analgesics are the chemical substances used for relieving pain. They are also used for alleviating fever. Example − Aspirin, Analgin, Novalgin Section D Question 28 ( 5.0 marks) (a) Define molar conductivity of a substance and describe how for weak and strong electrolytes, molar conductivity changes with concentration of solute. How is such change explained? (b) A voltaic cell is set up at 25°C with the following half cells: Ag + (0.001 M) | Ag and Cu 2+ (0.10 M) | Cu What would be the voltage of this cell? ( ) OR (a) State the relationship amongst the cell constant of a cell, the resistance of the solution in the cell and the conductivity of the solution. How is molar conductivity of a solute related to the conductivity of its solution? (b) A voltaic cell is set up at 25°C with the following half-cells: Al | Al3+ (0.001 M) and Ni | Ni2+ (0.50 M) Calculate the cell voltage. Solution: (a) Molar conductivity is defined as the conductance of a solution containing 1 g molecule or 1 mol of electrolyte such that the entire solution is placed between two electrodes one cm apart. It is denoted as ^m. In the case of strong electrolytes, when the concentration is zero, molar conductivity attains a definite value known as limiting molar conductivity. It is denoted by ^m, which can be calculated. For weak electrolytes, when concentration reaches zero, the graph of ^m vs. becomes parallel to the y-axis. Thus, the limiting molar conductivity cannot be calculated. (b) OR 1. The conductivity ( ) of the solution in a cell is the reciprocal of its resistivity. The quantity is cell constant. …meritnation.com/…/Cuy6WobDThiILNv… 10/14 2/4/2011 Subjective Test Paper - Chemistry - Meri… l → Distance between 2 electrodes a → Area of cross section R → Resistance Also, conductivity, Thus, ^m = (b) For the given cell, Eº ce ll = Eº right − Eº le ft Also, E ce ll = Eºcell + The net reaction is ∴ n =6 Question 29 ( 5.0 marks) (a) Complete the follow ing chemical reaction equations: (i) (ii) (b) Explain the following observations about the transition/inner transition elements: (i) There is in general an increase in density of element from titanium (Z = 22) to copper (Z = 29). (ii) There occurs much more frequent metal−metal bonding in compounds of heavy transition elements (3 rd series). (iii) The members of the actinoid series exhibit a larger number of oxidation states than the corresponding members of the lanthanoid series. OR (a) Complete the follow ing chemical equations for reactions: (i) (ii) (b) Give an explanation for each of the following observations: (i) The gradual decrease in size (actinoid contractions) from element to element is greater among the actinoids than among the lanthanoids (lanthanoid contraction). (ii) The greatest number of oxidation states are exhibited by the members in the middle of a transition series. (iii) With the same d-orbital configuration (d4 ) Cr2+ ion is a reducing agent but Mn 3+ ion is an oxidising agent. …meritnation.com/…/Cuy6WobDThiILNv… 11/14 2/4/2011 Subjective Test Paper - Chemistry - Meri… Solution: (a) (i) (ii) (b) (i) On moving from titanium (Z = 22) to copper (Z = 29), electrons get added to the 3d orbital. So, the mass per unit volume increases. As a result, density also increases. (ii) In the third transition series, due to the introduction of the d orbital, the shielding effect decreases. Therefore, the effective nuclear charge increases. Consequently, the atomic volume increases. Due to an increase in mass by volume ratio, density increases. (iii) The lanthanoids and actinoids exhibit a principal oxidation state of +3. Some lanthanoids also exhibit +4 and +2 oxidation states. However, actinoids exhibit oxidation states of +2, +4 ,+5, +6 and +7. They exhibit greater range of oxidation states because the 5f, 6d and 7s sub-shells present in actinoids are of comparable energy. Thus, they can take part in bonding, giving rise to different oxidation states. OR (a) (i) (ii) (b) (i) The gradual decrease in size (actinoid contraction) from element to element is greater among the antinoids than among the lanthanoids. This is because of the poor shielding effect of electrons in the 5f orbital of actinoids (ii) The elements at the beginning of a series exhibit fewer oxidation states because they have less number of electrons which they can lose or contribute for bond formation. The elements at the end of a series exhibit fewer oxidation states because they have too many d electrons, and hence, fewer vacant d orbitals that can be involved for bonding. (iii) For Cr, the +3 oxidation state is more stable than the +2 state. Thus, Cr2+ changes to Cr3+ and it behaves as a strong reducing agent. However, for Mn, the +2 state is more stable than the +3 state. So, Mn3+changes into Mn2+ and it behaves as a strong oxidising agent. Question 30 ( 5.0 marks) (a) Illustrate the following name reactions by giving example: (i) Cannizzaro's reaction (ii) Clemmensen reduction (b) An organic compound A contains 69.77% carbon, 11.63% hydrogen and rest oxygen. The molecular mass of the compound is 86. It does not reduce Tollen's reagent but forms an addition compound with sodium hydrogen sulphite and gives positive iodoform test. On vigorous oxidation it gives ethanoic and propanoic acids. Derive the possible structure of compound A. OR (a) How are the following obtained? (i) Benzoic acid from ethyl benzene (ii) Benzaldehyde from toluene (b) Complete each synthesis by giving the missing material, reagent or products: (i) (ii) (iii) …meritnation.com/…/Cuy6WobDThiILNv… 12/14 2/4/2011 Subjective Test Paper - Chemistry - Meri… Solution: (a) (i) In Cannizzaro's reaction, aldehydes which do not have α-H atom undergo self oxidation and reduction on treatment with a concentrated alkali, an alcohol and an acid. Thus, 1 molecule is oxidised to alcohol and the other is reduced to carboxylic acid salt. (ii) In Clemmenson's reduction, the carbonyl group of aldehydes and ketones is reduced to CH2 group on treatment with zinc amalgam and conc. HCl. (b) Since the compound does not reduce Tollen's reagent, it has a ketonic group. Also, as it forms an addition compound with NaHSO 3 and gives positive iodoform test, the presence of methyl ketone is confirmed. On oxidation, it gives ethanoic acid and propanoic acid. So, the compound can be This is because in unsymmetrical ketone, the point of cleavage is such that the keto group stays with the smaller alkyl group. The compound is pentan − 2 − one, with molecular mass 86.

Maybe the hot young bloods in Iran's Revolutionary Guards will insist on an immediate counter attack, but Egypt bided its time, built up its strength, and didn't attack for 6 years. Although a Russian has just claimed that there was a conspiracy including the US, Egypt and Israel to allow the attack so Syria could be disarmed, most of us thought that Israel was caught napping and unprepared and almost lost until Kissinger broke NATO rules and sent arms and ammunition. Iran's best choice would be to wait for revenge. Possibly taking action to shut off the flow of oil, causing high gas prices in the US before the election would by a benefit, but maybe not. In any case, there's no rush to destroy Tel Aviv: that can even wait 6 years.

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
23 Mar 2014 02:14 GMT | Politics, Africa, France, Ghana, Ivory Coast
Charles Ble Goude, the former right-hand man of Ivorian ex-president Laurent Gbagbo, has been moved from Abidjan to the holding cells of the International Criminal Court as it prepares to try him for crimes against humanity.
A court spokesman confirmed on Sunday that the 42-year-old former youth leader was put inside the court's detention centre, located inside a Dutch prison complex on the outskirts of Den Haag.
Ble Goude faces four counts of crimes against humanity, including murder and rape, allegedly committed during post-electoral violence in the west African country in 2010-2011.
He was on Saturday taken from Abidjan on a plane chartered by the ICC.
The former leader of the "Young Patriots", once known as Gbagbo's "Street General", was joining his former boss in ICC detention.
ICC prosecutor Fatou Bensouda said the court was a step closer to unvieiling the truth about the case.
The crisis in the country region started with Gbagbo's refusal to concede defeat in November 2010 elections, sparking armed clashes that killed more than 3,000 people.
His election rival, Alassane Ouattara, now the president, eventually removed him from power thanks to international military backing.
Gbagbo, who was transferred to The Netherlands in late 2011, also faces four counts of crimes against humanity but the court has yet to confirm the charges, pending further investigation.
Ble Goude galvanised support for Gbagbo during the crisis with fiery speeches urging mass mobilisation against what he called pro-Ouattara "rebels" and their foreign backers, former colonial power France and the UN.
Ble Goude "allegedly bears individual criminal responsibility, as indirect co-perpetrator, for four counts of crimes against humanity, namely murder, rape and other forms of sexual violence, persecution, and other inhuman acts," the ICC said Saturday.
The ICC issued a warrant for his arrest in December 2011 but did not make it public until late last year, and the Ivorian cabinet agreed to the transfer on Thursday.
The former youth leader for Gbagbo was arrested in Ghana in January 2013 after more than a year and a half on the run and extradited to Ivory Coast.
Ble Goude's lawyer on Saturday said Ivorian investigators had presented little evidence against his client.
"We are respectful of the law, but we are not afraid," he told the AFP news agency.
Ble Goude himself told AFP in a 2012 interview that he did not fear going to the ICC.
"I am not an advocate of weapons, I never maintained a single militia. If the ICC wants to invite me for having organised protest marches, I have no problem appearing before the ICC," he said.
Source: AFP
Ble Goude will be sent to International Criminal Court, where he is wanted on charges of crimes against humanity.
Ghanaian government tells UN experts it has foiled at least two attacks against Gbagbo associates this year.

Joseph Cramer, M.D.: Thoughts on the parable of the prodigal son
The parable of the prodigal son is known in and out of sacred script. A son gathers his riches and leaves home only to squander and experience squalor. Awakening to his plight he returns to the home of his father who runs to him and gives him a coat, a ring and a feast. Meanwhile, the older brother sulks, but is instructed in forgiveness by the loving father.
The power of parables, as was taught by the Master storyteller, is their potential for layered meaning. On the surface this is a tale of separation and reunion, of jealousy and forgiveness.
Let us suppose it is not about a father and his sons. What if, instead of people, the parable is really about our thoughts?
Our thoughts are self-spoken speeches. They are the voice within us that cheers us on, or too often shouts into our mind that we are stupid for being human.
These negative impressions are criticisms heard as children, repeated doubts sowed by others or by our own unique foibles. To combat insecurity we resort to snake oils of wealth, fame and self-indulgence.
The prodigal son teaches that we can choose to devote our neural synapses to riches; we cannot feed two thoughts simultaneously. When we spend our thought-time relishing toys or bought privileges we depart with our attention to a far-away country. Our sensitivity is gone; we have cashed out our emotional inheritance.
Because our brains demand greater and greater stimulation for the same thrill, we need to spend more neural energy just to stay even. The fuel of excitement is finite. Our thoughts spend our wad of time and concentration on foul choices. Exhausted, they fall into the sties of swine.
Selfishly and sadly, we feed our feelings the husks of experiences that are empty in emotional nutrients. Swallowing mental trash or consuming our self-absorption can only fill a body for a short while until the whole organism begins to fail. The collapse of attention or the death of awareness soon follows.
However, like the prodigal son, our thoughts can turn homeward. We can decide to think about the goodness and security that we have known previously. Bringing our thoughts back to a place of security takes work. We have to be mindfully aware of our racing thoughts, then exercise agency to gently return them back to now.
We have to push aside fears of rejection. What if the father, instead of running to the son, ran after him, chasing him away? What if he thought, What will the neighbors say? What would the servants think when the son of the lord were required to work beside them? Would they scorn the scion?
When our thoughts run amok, which happens in depression, anxiety, arrogance, insecurity or addictions, we dread what others might think if we seek mental health treatment, as if cure is worse than the disease. Instead, the exact time for cheering is when we decide to exit the porcine penitentiary and seek directions on the road home.
When our thoughts return to the present and are not stuck in the past or mired in the future, they will be received with an open mind like the compassionate father. Our whole body will celebrate the repentant homecoming of our lost time and focus. We feast on the fruits of mindfulness when we stay in the present, savoring the world around us.
We need to turn off the autopilot life and treasure the clean robe and the ring. The prodigal thoughts fade when we stay connected with others and ourselves. If thoughts were the older brother, they would be distractions of anxiety and self-centeredness. We don't need those, either.
It is not a great leap to imagine the characters in the parable of the prodigal son are our wandering minds. Then perhaps it is only about a son and his mistakes; you may want to put some thought to it.
