    Chemistry - States of Matter : Gases and liquids
    Marked right : 0% students | Marked incorrect : 0% students | Marked not attempted : 0% students

    Correct Option: a

    Solution :

    The reaction occurs as follows:

    \mathrm{H_{2}\: +\: Cl_{2}\: \rightarrow \: 2HCl}

    Now, clearly 2g of hydrogen reacts with 71g of chlorine.

    Thus, 0.4g of hydrogen will react with 14.2g of chlorine.

    Thus, no reactant is the limiting reagent here. Both the reactants will consume completely.

    Thus, 2g of hydrogen will produce 73g of HCl.

    Thus, 0.4g of hydrogen will produce 14.6g of HCl.

    Now, moles of HCl produced = 7.3/73 = 0.2 moles

    Now, according to the ideal gas equation, we have:

    PV = nRT

    Thus, V = (nRT)/P

    V = (0.2 x 0.0821 x 273)/1

    V = 4.54L

    Therefore, Option(1) is correct.

  3. The conjugate base of NH3 is:

    Marked right : 0% students | Marked incorrect : 0% students | Marked not attempted : 0% students

    Correct Option: c

    Solution :

    Ammonia is amphoteric, meaning that it can behave as either an acid or a base. It can accept a proton and therefore acts as a base. It can donate a proton and act as an acid. NH2- is therefore the conjugate base of ammonia.

    Therefore, Option(3) is correct.

    Marked right : 0% students | Marked incorrect : 0% students | Marked not attempted : 0% students

    Correct Option: b

    Solution :

    Let total moles of He and CH4 be x.

    Thus, moles of He = 0.25x

    And moles of CH4 = 0.75x

    Now, mass of He = (0.25x) x (4) = x

    Further, mass of CH4 = (0.75x) x 16 = 12x

    Thus, mass percentage of methane = [(12x)/(13x)] x 100 = 92%

    Therefore, Option(b) is correct

  5. The last element of the p-block in 6th period is represented by the outermost electronic configuration:

    a)

    c)

    \Delta S_{2}<\Delta S_{1}

    d)

    \Delta \mathrm{S}_{1}<\Delta \mathrm{S}_{2}

    Chemistry - Thermodynamics
    Marked right : 0% students | Marked incorrect : 0% students | Marked not attempted : 0% students

    Correct Option:

    Solution :

    The formula for entropy change is given as:

    \mathrm{\Delta S=\frac{q}{T}}

    Now, since q is the same for both cases. Thus, more is the T, less will be entropy change.

    Thus, for T1 > T2, we have:

    \Delta \mathrm{S}_{1}<\Delta \mathrm{S}_{2}

    Therefore, Option(4) is correct.

    Correct Option: b

    Solution :

    \\$\mathrm{NO}_{2}^{+}$\\ \text{Number of electron pairs =2}\\\text{Number of bond pairs =2}\\\text{Number of lone pair =0}\\\text{So, the species is linear with sp hybridisation.}\\\\ $\mathrm{NO}_{3}^{-}$\\ \text{Number of electron pairs =3}\\ \text{Number of bond pairs =3} \\\text{Number of lone pair =0}\\\text{So, the species is trigonal planar with sp2 hybridisation}\\\\ $\mathrm{NH}_{4}^{+}$\\\\ \text{Number of electron pairs = 4} \\\text{Number of bond pairs = 4}\\\text{Number of lone pair = 0}\\\text{So, the species is tetrahedral with sp3 hybridisation.}

    Thus percentage character of s in the hybrid orbitals of nitrogen in NO2+, NO3- and NH4+ respectively are:

    50%, 33.3% and 25%.

    Therefore, Option(2) is correct.

    Marked right : 0% students | Marked incorrect : 0% students | Marked not attempted : 0% students

    Correct Option: a

    Solution :

    Since ammonium (NH4) has a charge of +1 then N + 4 H = +1, hydrogen has a +1 Oxidation state so then N + 4 = +1 which means that the nitrogen must be -3.

    Since nitrate (NO3) has a charge of -1 then N + 3 O = -1, oxygen has a -2 Oxidation so then N + (-6) = -1 or N - 6 = -1 which means that this nitrogen must be +5.

    Therefore, Option(1) is correct.

    Chemistry - d - and f - BLOCK ELEMENTS
    Marked right : 0% students | Marked incorrect : 0% students | Marked not attempted : 0% students

    Correct Option: d

    Solution :

    M0.98O is non-stoichiometric compound and is a mixture of M2+ and M3+ ions. Let x atoms of M3+ are present in the compound. This means that x M2+ have been replaced by M3+ ions.

    \therefore Number of M2+ ions = 0.96-x
    For electrical neutrality, positive charge on compound = negative charge on compound. 

    \begin{array}{l} \therefore 2(0.96-x)+3 x=2 \\ 1.92-2 x+3 x=2 \\ \text {or } x=2-1.92=0.08 \end{array}

    \therefore \quad \% \text { of } \mathrm{M}^{3+} \text { ions }=\frac{0.08}{0.96} \times 100=8.33 \%

    Therefore, Option(4) is correct.

    We know that the in FCC, the unit cell edge length is given as:

    \\\mathrm{a\: =\: 2\sqrt{2}r}\\\mathrm{a\: =\: 2\sqrt{2}\: x\:\sqrt{2}}\\\\\mathrm{Thus,\: a\: =\: 4A^{o}\: or\: 4\: x\: 10^{-10}m}

    Now, volume of unit cell = a3

    Thus, volume = (4 x 10-10) x (4 x 10-10) x (4 x 10-10) = 64 x 10-30

    Thus, volume = 6.4 x 10-29 m3

    Chemistry - Solutions
    Marked right : 0% students | Marked incorrect : 0% students | Marked not attempted : 0% students

    Correct Option: d

    Solution :

    Isotonic solutions are those solutions which have the same osmotic pressure.  If osmotic pressures are equal at the same temperature, concentrations must also be equal.

    \mathrm{\pi=iCRT}

    For BaCl2, we have:

    i = 3

    Thus, C of ions = 3 x 0.01 = 0.03M

    Now, for NaCl, we have:

    i = 2

    Thus, C of ions = 2 x 0.015 = 0.03M

    Thus as the concentrations are same, the solutions are isotonic.

    Therefore, Option(4) is correct.

    Correct Option: d

    Solution :

    P in both PH3 and PH4+ is sp3 hybridized. Due to the absence of lone pair-bond pair repulsion and presence of four identical bond pair-bond pair interactions, PH4+ assumes tetrahedral geometry with a bond angle to 109° 28'. But PH3 has three bond pairs and one lone pair around P. Due to greater lone pair-bond pair repulsion than bond pair-bond pair repulsion, the tetrahedral angle decreases from 109° 28' to 93.6°. As a result, PH3 is pyramidal.

    Therefore, Option(4) is correct.

    Marked right : 0% students | Marked incorrect : 0% students | Marked not attempted : 0% students

    Correct Option: a

    Solution :

    Condensation polymers:

    The condensation polymers are formed by repeated condensation reaction between two different bi-functional or tri-functional monomeric units. In these polymerization reactions, the elimination of small molecules such as water, alcohol, hydrogen chloride, etc. take place.

    Glycine is bifunctional and rest are mono functional.

    Marked right : 0% students | Marked incorrect : 0% students | Marked not attempted : 0% students

    Correct Option: b

    Solution :

     

    In Fig. vr represents the velocity of rain and vb, the velocity of the bicycle, the woman is riding. Both these velocities are with respect to the ground.Since the woman is riding a bicycle, the velocity of rain as experienced by here is the velocity of rain relative to the velocity of the bicycle she is riding. That is vrb=vr−vb This relative velocity vector as shown in Fig. makes an angle θ with the vertical. It is given by 

     

                                   \tan \theta=\frac{v_{b}}{v_{r}} = \frac{12}{12} = 1 \\ \\ \theta = 45^o

    Therefore, the woman should hold her umbrella at an angle of about 45o with the vertical towards the west

    Correct Option: c

    Solution :

    When a particle connected to a string revolves in a circular path around a center, the centripetal force is provided by the tension produced in the string. Hence, in the given case, the net force on the particle is the tension T, i.e., 

    F=T=\frac{m v^{2}}{l}

    Marked right : 0% students | Marked incorrect : 0% students | Marked not attempted : 0% students

    Correct Option: a

    Solution :

    \text { Rate of cooling } = \frac{\Delta \theta}{t}=\frac{A \varepsilon \sigma\left(T^{4}-T_{0}^{4}\right)}{m c} \Rightarrow \frac{\Delta \theta}{t} \propto A

    The circular plate will cool fastest and the sphere will cool the slowest. The rate of heat transfer is directly proportional to the surface area. And the circular plate has a greater surface area. Hence, circular plate will cool faster and sphere slowest(Minimum surface area)

    Correct Option: c

    Solution :

    In an adiabatic expansion, internal decreases and hence temperature decreases. Becasue in adiabatic expansion, no heat is loss and since it is expanding means it is expanding on the expense of Internal energy. 

    For an ideal gas - 

    \\ \text{from equation of state of ideal gas} \ PV = nRT$ \\ $\Rightarrow$ the product of $P$ and $V$ decreases

    b)

    c)

    d)

    Physics - Waves
    Marked right : 0% students | Marked incorrect : 0% students | Marked not attempted : 0% students

    Correct Option: b

    Solution :

    Whistling train is the source of sound, v= V

    Before crossing a stationary observer on station, frequency heard is

    Apparent \ frequency =\frac{v n}{\left(v-v_{s}\right)}=\frac{v n}{v-V}

    The apparent frequency is not a function of time and constant w.r.t. time, also apparent frequency > n.

    Here , v is velocity of sound in air and n is actual frequency of whistle.

    After crossing the stationary observer, frequency heard is - 

    Apparent \ frequency =\frac{v n}{\left(v-(-v_{s}\right))}=\frac{v n}{v+V}

    The apparent frequency is also not a function of time and constant w.r.t. time, also apparent frequency < n.

     

    Therefore, the expected curve is (B).

    Solution :

    In the potentiometer, the potential of wire AB (V) is proportional to the length AB(L). 

    i.e V \ \alpha \ L

    As given A battery of  $\mathrm{emf} 10 \mathrm{V}$ and negligible internal resistance is connected between its ends of a potentiometer.

    So the potential of the whole wire of length 500 cm is 10 V.

    Let V_1=10 \ V

    Now A secondary cell connected to the circuit gives balancing length at $200 \mathrm{cm}$.

    So let The emf of the secondary cell is= V_2

    As \frac{V_1}{V_2}=\frac{500}{200}=\frac{5}{2}

    where

    i.e., I(\text { magnetization }) \propto \frac{B(\text { magnetic field induction })}{t(\text { temperature in kelvin })} \Rightarrow \frac{I_{2}}{I_{1}}=\frac{B_{2}}{B_{1}} \times \frac{t_{1}}{t_{2}}$

       \\ B.2 \pi r = \mu_o i \\ \\ B = \frac{\mu_o i}{2 \pi r}

    On the surface (r=R)

    Marked right : 0% students | Marked incorrect : 0% students | Marked not attempted : 0% students

    Correct Option:

    Solution :

    In a cyclotron

    The radius of  the path traveled by the particle can be given as : 

    r=\frac{mV}{qB} 

    where V is the velocity, q is the charge and B is the magnitude of the magnetic field applied.

     So 

    Maximum energy gained by the charged particle in Cyclotron is given as

    E_{max}=\left(\frac{q^2B^2}{2m}\right)r_{0}^2

     where r_0=maximum radius of the circular path followed by the positive ion.

    As B,r_0, are same for all

    So for Minimum KE the term \frac{q^2}{m} should be minimum

    So

    For 

    protons _{1}^{1}\textrm{H}\frac{q^2}{m}=\frac{e^2}{m_p}

    Deuterons  _{1}^{2}\textrm{H}  , \frac{q^2}{m}=\frac{e^2}{2m_p}

    and
    a-particles _{2}^{4}\textrm{He},\frac{q^2}{m}=\frac{(2e)^2}{4m_p}=\frac{(e)^2}{m_p}

    So for Deuterons KE gained is minimum

    Marked right : 0% students | Marked incorrect : 0% students | Marked not attempted : 0% students

    Correct Option:

    Solution :

    As we learn for the above figure Motional EMF is given by 

    \varepsilon = Blv
     where 

    B\rightarrow magnetic field

    l\rightarrow length of conducting

    v\rightarrow the velocity of rod perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field.

    Now 

     Induced Current in the conducting rod is given as   I= \frac{\varepsilon }{r}= \frac{Blv}{r}

    where r is the resistance of the rod 

    So I= \frac{\varepsilon }{r}= \frac{Blv}{r}=\frac{0.04*2*5}{3}=133 \ mA

    Marked right : 0% students | Marked incorrect : 0% students | Marked not attempted : 0% students

    Correct Option: b

    Solution :

    The magnetic field at the center of the current-carrying coil is,

    B=\frac{\mu_{o} i}{2 r}$

    The magnetic moment is given by:
    $M=i \pi r^{2}$
    Given ratio is:
    x=\frac{B}{M}\\ \Rightarrow x=\frac{\mu_{o}}{2 \pi r^{3}}$

    On doubling the current and radius,

    x^{\prime}=\frac{\mu_{0}}{2 \pi \times(2 r)^{3}}$

    \therefore x^{\prime}=\frac{x}{8}$

    Marked right : 0% students | Marked incorrect : 0% students | Marked not attempted : 0% students

    Correct Option: b

    Solution :

    At room temperature, the permanent magnet retains ferromagnetic property for a long period of time.
    The individual atoms in a ferromagnetic material possess a dipole moment as in a paramagnetic material.
    However, they interact with one another in such a way that they spontaneously align themselves in a common direction over a macroscopic volume called domain. Thus, we can say that in a permanent magnet at room temperature, domains are all perfectly aligned.

                     R\rightarrow resistance

    And For RL circuit 

    Z=\sqrt{R^2+(X_L)^2}

    where X_L=inductive \ \ reactance

    So

    Power \ factor=\cos \phi = \frac{R}{Z}\\ \\ \Rightarrow \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{R}{\sqrt{R^2+2^2}}

    on Solving we get

    R=\sqrt{2} \Omega

    Correct Option: a

    Solution :

    \\ \text{Momentum carried by a photon of energy} \mathrm{E}$ is $\frac{E}{c}$\\ When a photon hits a perfectly reflecting surface, it reflects back in the opposite direction and goes with same energy and hence same momentum. Hence the change in momentum of the photo $=\frac{E}{c}-\left(-\frac{E}{c}\right)=\frac{2 E}{c}$

    \\ \text{Now the momentum imparted per second}=\frac{\Delta P}{\Delta t}=\frac{2E}{ct}=\frac{2EA}{ctA}=\frac{2IA}{c}\\ \left [ \because I=\frac{E}{At} \right ]

    Correct Option: d

    Solution :

    \\ \text{We know, the magnetic field due to a long current carrying wire is given as}\\ B=\frac{\mu_{0} I}{2 \pi r}$ $\Rightarrow B \propto \frac{1}{r}$\\ Magnetic field in between the two conductors will be in opposite direction. Using right hand thumb rule, the magnetic field due to left wire will be in the $\hat{j}$ direction while due to the right wire in $(-\hat{j})$ direction. \\ Magnetic field at a distance $x$ from the left wire is given as: \\ $B_{\text {in between}}=\frac{\mu_{0} I}{2 \pi x} \hat{j}+\frac{\mu_{0} I}{2 \pi(2 d-x)}(-\hat{j})=\frac{\mu_{0} I}{2 \pi}\left[\frac{1}{x}-\frac{1}{(2 d-x)}\right] \hat{j}$

    \\ At\ x=d, B=0 \\ At \ x> B= along( -\hat{j}) \\ At\ x<d, B= along\ \hat{j} \\ \text{On the left side of the left conductor, magnetic field due to the both}\\ \text{ the conductors will add up and will be along}\ (-\hat{j}) \ \ direction.\\ \text{On the right side of the right conductor, magnetic field due to the both}\\ \text{ the conductors will add up and will be along}\ \hat{j} \ direction.
