The Tata Iron and Steel Company set up its works there in 1907, choosing the site because iron ore, coal, manganese and limestone all lay within a short distance in the Chota Nagpur region, water was available from the Subarnarekha and Kharkai rivers, and the railway ran to the port…

Rourkela stands in the Sundargarh district of Odisha, on the Brahmani river, and was built in the Second Five Year Plan with German collaboration; it drew iron ore from the Odisha deposits, coal from the Jharia belt and limestone from Purnapani.

Of the three integrated plants taken up in the Second Five Year Plan, Bhilai in what is now Chhattisgarh was built with Soviet help, and the later plant at Bokaro in Jharkhand came up with Soviet help as well, so the two Soviet plants are Bhilai and Bokaro.

Sulfur dioxide is made of one sulfur atom and two oxygen atoms, so its molecular mass is the sum of their atomic masses: 32 plus 2 multiplied by 16, that is 32 plus 32, which gives 64 u. Molecular mass is expressed in unified atomic mass units, written u, and…

Calcium chloride is an ionic compound, so it has a formula unit mass rather than a molecular mass, and the value is found by adding the atomic masses of all the atoms in the formula.
