What is ammoniated mercury also known as?

Ammoniated mercury is a white, odorless powder used topically as an antiseptic and antifungal.

What type of rays have no mass or charge but high energy and penetrating power?

Gamma rays are electromagnetic radiation with no mass or charge, possessing high energy and strong penetrating ability.

Which antacids cause 'rebound' hyperacidity?

Antacids like sodium bicarbonate and calcium carbonate can cause rebound hyperacidity, meaning they temporarily increase stomach acid levels after their initial neutralizing effect.

Which salt releases a gas with a fruity odor when treated with concentrated sulfuric acid and ethanol?

Acetate salts, when treated with concentrated sulfuric acid and ethanol, produce a characteristic fruity odor due to the formation of ethyl acetate.
