IIT-JEE CHEMISTRY NEW PATTERN PRACTICE TEST

COMPREHENSION-1
Much of the worlds supply of platinum group metals is derived from the residues recovered from the electrolytic refining of copper and nickel. A flow chart for the recovery of platinum and palladium is shown on the following page. Study it and answer the following questions (See Fig.1) Fig. 1 : Method of Purification of Platinum and Palladium

Shishir Mittal
Director, insight, Kota
Noted Academician

Shishir Mittal is one of the top teachers of Chemistry for IIT-JEE preparation. Much of the Chemistry teaching in Kota has emerged from his very original approach towards the subject. Academic standards set by him are yet unparalleled, with most of the Chemistry people (students and teachers alike) referring constantly to his notes and study material for guidance. A milestone in Kotas success towards I IT-JEE, he has transported a full fledged Chemistry lab to his classroom. A noted academician, his contribution towards the improvement of teaching for IIT-JEE have been enormous. This includes excellent study material (most of the Kota students at various places use it), concept development sessions, computers in classroom and classroom experiments which make his classes a unique experience. Insight, Kota is well known for their highest percentage selections in IITJEE. Concept Development Sessions (CDS) held at Insight have emerged as a unique tool for improving the performance and selection rate of the students. They have also been developed by this unique man whose vision has been unique for making Kota famous for its academic standards. Today, Kota is famous for II T-JEE coachings. He is one of those pillars on which the fame of Kota rests. We are glad to extend the benifit of his unique expertise to our readers. -Publisher
