The logic gate equivalent to the circuit shown in the figure is
Question diagram
A
$AND$
B
$NAND$
C
$NOR$
D
$OR$

Solution

(C) The given circuit consists of a $NOR$ gate, a $NAND$ gate with its inputs tied together (acting as a $NOT$ gate), and a $NOT$ gate.
Let the inputs be $A$ and $B$.
The output of the $NOR$ gate is $Y_1 = \overline{A+B}$.
The $NAND$ gate with tied inputs acts as a $NOT$ gate, so its output is $Y_2 = \overline{Y_1 \cdot Y_1} = \overline{Y_1}$.
Substituting $Y_1$, we get $Y_2 = \overline{\overline{A+B}} = A+B$.
The final output $y$ passes through a $NOT$ gate, so $y = \overline{Y_2} = \overline{A+B}$.
This is the Boolean expression for a $NOR$ gate.
Therefore, the circuit is equivalent to a $NOR$ gate.

If the position vectors of $A, B, C, D$ are $\hat{i}+2\hat{j}+2\hat{k}, 2\hat{i}-\hat{j}, \hat{i}+\hat{j}+3\hat{k}$ and $4\hat{j}+5\hat{k}$ respectively,then the quadrilateral $ABCD$ is a
A
square
B
rectangle
C
rhombus
D
parallelogram

Solution

(C) Let the position vectors be $\vec{a} = \hat{i}+2\hat{j}+2\hat{k}$,$\vec{b} = 2\hat{i}-\hat{j}$,$\vec{c} = \hat{i}+\hat{j}+3\hat{k}$,and $\vec{d} = 4\hat{j}+5\hat{k}$.
First,find the vectors representing the sides:
$\vec{AB} = \vec{b} - \vec{a} = (2-1)\hat{i} + (-1-2)\hat{j} + (0-2)\hat{k} = \hat{i} - 3\hat{j} - 2\hat{k}$.
$\vec{BC} = \vec{c} - \vec{b} = (1-2)\hat{i} + (1-(-1))\hat{j} + (3-0)\hat{k} = -\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + 3\hat{k}$.
$\vec{CD} = \vec{d} - \vec{c} = (0-1)\hat{i} + (4-1)\hat{j} + (5-3)\hat{k} = -\hat{i} + 3\hat{j} + 2\hat{k}$.
$\vec{DA} = \vec{a} - \vec{d} = (1-0)\hat{i} + (2-4)\hat{j} + (2-5)\hat{k} = \hat{i} - 2\hat{j} - 3\hat{k}$.
Note that $\vec{AB} = -\vec{CD}$ and $\vec{BC} = -\vec{DA}$,which confirms $ABCD$ is a parallelogram.
Now check the lengths of the sides:
$|\vec{AB}| = \sqrt{1^2 + (-3)^2 + (-2)^2} = \sqrt{1+9+4} = \sqrt{14}$.
$|\vec{BC}| = \sqrt{(-1)^2 + 2^2 + 3^2} = \sqrt{1+4+9} = \sqrt{14}$.
Since adjacent sides are equal $(|\vec{AB}| = |\vec{BC}| = \sqrt{14})$,the parallelogram is a rhombus.

If $(2,-1,3)$ is the foot of the perpendicular drawn from the origin to the plane,then the equation of the plane is
A
$2x-y+3z-14=0$
B
$2x+y-3z+6=0$
C
$2x-y+3z-13=0$
D
$2x+y+3z-10=0$

Solution

(A) Let the origin be $O(0,0,0)$ and the foot of the perpendicular be $P(2,-1,3)$.
Since $OP$ is the normal to the plane,the direction ratios of the normal are the same as the direction ratios of the line $OP$.
The direction ratios of $OP$ are $(2-0, -1-0, 3-0) = (2, -1, 3)$.
Thus,the normal vector to the plane is $\vec{n} = 2\hat{i} - \hat{j} + 3\hat{k}$.
The equation of a plane passing through a point $(x_1, y_1, z_1)$ with normal vector $(a, b, c)$ is given by $a(x-x_1) + b(y-y_1) + c(z-z_1) = 0$.
Substituting the point $P(2, -1, 3)$ and the normal vector $(2, -1, 3)$ into the equation:
$2(x-2) - 1(y-(-1)) + 3(z-3) = 0$
$2(x-2) - 1(y+1) + 3(z-3) = 0$
$2x - 4 - y - 1 + 3z - 9 = 0$
$2x - y + 3z - 14 = 0$
Therefore,the equation of the plane is $2x - y + 3z - 14 = 0$.

$1.84 \ g$ of a mixture of $CaCO_3$ and $MgCO_3$ is strongly heated to get a residue of $0.96 \ g$. The percentage of $CaCO_3$ in the mixture is
A
$50.34$
B
$49.66$
C
$54.34$
D
$45.66$

Solution

(C) Let the mass of $CaCO_3$ be $x \ g$ and the mass of $MgCO_3$ be $(1.84 - x) \ g$.
Heating the carbonates results in the following reactions:
$CaCO_3(s) \rightarrow CaO(s) + CO_2(g)$
$MgCO_3(s) \rightarrow MgO(s) + CO_2(g)$
The molar mass of $CaCO_3 = 100 \ g/mol$,$CaO = 56 \ g/mol$,$MgCO_3 = 84 \ g/mol$,and $MgO = 40 \ g/mol$.
The mass of the residue $(CaO + MgO)$ is $0.96 \ g$.
Mass of $CaO = (x / 100) \times 56 = 0.56x$.
Mass of $MgO = ((1.84 - x) / 84) \times 40 = 0.476(1.84 - x)$.
$0.56x + 0.476(1.84 - x) = 0.96$.
$0.56x + 0.876 - 0.476x = 0.96$.
$0.084x = 0.084$.
$x = 1 \ g$.
Percentage of $CaCO_3 = (1 / 1.84) \times 100 \approx 54.34\%$.

$209 \ g$ of an element reacts with chlorine to form $315.5 \ g$ of its chloride. What is the weight (in $g$) of oxygen that reacts with $418 \ g$ of same element?
$(Cl = 35.5 \ u; O = 16 \ u)$
A
$24$
B
$48$
C
$96$
D
$36$

Solution

(B) Let the element be $M$ and its valency be $n$. The chloride formed is $MCl_n$.
Mass of $Cl$ in $315.5 \ g$ of $MCl_n = 315.5 \ g - 209 \ g = 106.5 \ g$.
Equivalent mass of $Cl = \frac{35.5}{1} = 35.5 \ g$.
Number of equivalents of $Cl = \frac{106.5}{35.5} = 3$.
Since equivalents of $M$ = equivalents of $Cl$,equivalents of $M = 3$.
Equivalent mass of $M = \frac{\text{Mass of } M}{\text{Equivalents}} = \frac{209}{3} \ g$.
Now,for the oxide $M_xO_y$,equivalents of $M$ = equivalents of $O$.
For $418 \ g$ of $M$,equivalents of $M = \frac{418}{209/3} = 418 \times \frac{3}{209} = 2 \times 3 = 6$.
Equivalent mass of $O = \frac{16}{2} = 8 \ g$.
Mass of $O = \text{Equivalents} \times \text{Equivalent mass} = 6 \times 8 = 48 \ g$.

An ideal gas mixture of $C_2H_6$ and $C_2H_4$ occupies a volume of $28 \ L$ at $1 \ atm$ and $273 \ K$. This mixture reacts completely with $128 \ g$ of $O_2$ to produce $CO_2$ and $H_2O_{(l)}$. What is the mole fraction of $C_2H_4$ in the mixture?
A
$0.4$
B
$0.8$
C
$0.5$
D
$0.6$

Solution

(D) $1$. Calculate total moles of the mixture $(n_{total})$ using the ideal gas law: $PV = nRT$. Given $P = 1 \ atm$,$V = 28 \ L$,$R = 0.0821 \ L \ atm \ K^{-1} \ mol^{-1}$,and $T = 273 \ K$. $n_{total} = \frac{1 \times 28}{0.0821 \times 273} \approx 1.25 \ mol$.
$2$. Let $x$ be the moles of $C_2H_6$ and $y$ be the moles of $C_2H_4$. So,$x + y = 1.25$.
$3$. Combustion reactions:
$C_2H_6 + 3.5O_2 \rightarrow 2CO_2 + 3H_2O$
$C_2H_4 + 3O_2 \rightarrow 2CO_2 + 2H_2O$
$4$. Moles of $O_2$ required: $3.5x + 3y = \frac{128}{32} = 4$.
$5$. Solve the system of equations: $x + y = 1.25 \Rightarrow x = 1.25 - y$.
$6$. Substitute into the second equation: $3.5(1.25 - y) + 3y = 4$ $\Rightarrow 4.375 - 3.5y + 3y = 4$ $\Rightarrow 0.5y = 0.375$ $\Rightarrow y = 0.75$.
$7$. Mole fraction of $C_2H_4 = \frac{y}{x+y} = \frac{0.75}{1.25} = 0.6$.

Complete combustion of ethane gives only gaseous products. In a closed vessel,$15 \ g$ of ethane and $112 \ g$ of $O_2$ were allowed to completely react. What is the total number of moles of gaseous substances present in the vessel at the end of the reaction?
A
$4.25$
B
$2.5$
C
$1.75$
D
$8.50$

Solution

(A) The balanced chemical equation for the combustion of ethane $(C_2H_6)$ is:
$2C_2H_6(g) + 7O_2(g) \rightarrow 4CO_2(g) + 6H_2O(g)$
Calculate the moles of reactants:
Molar mass of $C_2H_6 = 30 \ g/mol$. Moles of $C_2H_6 = 15 \ g / 30 \ g/mol = 0.5 \ mol$.
Molar mass of $O_2 = 32 \ g/mol$. Moles of $O_2 = 112 \ g / 32 \ g/mol = 3.5 \ mol$.
Determine the limiting reagent:
For $0.5 \ mol$ of $C_2H_6$,required $O_2 = (7/2) \times 0.5 = 1.75 \ mol$.
Since we have $3.5 \ mol$ of $O_2$,$C_2H_6$ is the limiting reagent.
Calculate moles of products and remaining reactants:
$C_2H_6$ consumed = $0.5 \ mol$ (Remaining = $0 \ mol$).
$O_2$ consumed = $1.75 \ mol$ (Remaining = $3.5 - 1.75 = 1.75 \ mol$).
$CO_2$ produced = $(4/2) \times 0.5 = 1.0 \ mol$.
$H_2O$ produced = $(6/2) \times 0.5 = 1.5 \ mol$.
Total moles of gaseous substances = $n(O_2) + n(CO_2) + n(H_2O) = 1.75 + 1.0 + 1.5 = 4.25 \ mol$.

The mass of a mixture containing $NaCl$ and $NaBr$ is $4.0 \ g$. If $Na$ is $30 \%$ of the total mixture,the composition of $NaCl$ in the mixture is (in $\%$)
A
$48$
B
$55$
C
$45$
D
$52$

Solution

(C) Let the mass of $NaCl$ be $x \ g$ and the mass of $NaBr$ be $(4.0 - x) \ g$.
The molar mass of $NaCl = 23 + 35.5 = 58.5 \ g/mol$.
The molar mass of $NaBr = 23 + 80 = 103 \ g/mol$.
The mass of $Na$ in $NaCl = x \times (23 / 58.5) \ g$.
The mass of $Na$ in $NaBr = (4.0 - x) \times (23 / 103) \ g$.
Total mass of $Na = 30 \% \text{ of } 4.0 \ g = 1.2 \ g$.
So,$x(23 / 58.5) + (4.0 - x)(23 / 103) = 1.2$.
Dividing by $23$: $x / 58.5 + (4.0 - x) / 103 = 1.2 / 23 \approx 0.05217$.
$0.01709x + 0.03883 - 0.00971x = 0.05217$.
$0.00738x = 0.01334$.
$x \approx 1.807 \ g$.
Percentage of $NaCl = (1.807 / 4.0) \times 100 \approx 45.17 \%$.
The closest option is $45 \%$.

Which of the following graphs is correct for an ideal gas?
A
Option A
B
Option B
C
Option C
D
Option D

Solution

(C) The ideal gas equation is given by $PV = nRT$.
For option $A$: If $n$ and $T$ are constant, then $PV = \text{constant}$, which means $P \propto 1/V$. The graph of $P$ versus $V$ should be a rectangular hyperbola, not a straight line.
For option $B$: If $V$ and $n$ are constant, then $P = (nR/V) \times T$. Since $nR/V$ is constant, $P \propto T$. The graph of $P$ versus $T$ should be a straight line passing through the origin, not a line with a negative slope.
For option $C$: If $V$ and $T$ are constant, then $P = (RT/V) \times n$. Since $RT/V$ is constant, $P \propto n$. The graph of $P$ versus $n$ is a straight line passing through the origin. This is correct.
For option $D$: If $P$ and $n$ are constant, then $V = (nR/P) \times T$. Thus $V \propto T$. The graph of $V$ versus $1/T$ would not be a straight line passing through the origin; rather, $V$ versus $T$ would be.
Therefore, the correct graph is $C$.

For $1 \ mol$ of an ideal gas,an isochore is obtained. The slope of the isochore is $0.082 \ atm \ K^{-1}$. What will be its pressure (in $atm$) when the temperature is $12.2 \ K$? $(R = 0.082 \ L \ atm \ mol^{-1} \ K^{-1})$.
A
$10.0$
B
$0.1$
C
$1.0$
D
$0.5$

Solution

(C) For an ideal gas,the equation is $PV = nRT$.
For an isochore (constant volume process),the equation can be written as $P = (\frac{nR}{V})T$.
The slope of the $P$ vs $T$ graph is given by $m = \frac{nR}{V}$.
Given $n = 1 \ mol$ and slope $m = 0.082 \ atm \ K^{-1}$.
So,$\frac{1 \times 0.082}{V} = 0.082$,which implies $V = 1 \ L$.
Now,at $T = 12.2 \ K$,the pressure $P$ is calculated as $P = \frac{nRT}{V} = \frac{1 \times 0.082 \times 12.2}{1} = 1.0004 \ atm \approx 1.0 \ atm$.

Consider the following statements:
Statement-$I$: If thermal energy is stronger than intermolecular forces,the substance prefers to be in a gaseous state.
Statement-$II$: At constant temperature,the density of an ideal gas is proportional to its pressure.
The correct answer is:
A
Statement-$I$ is correct,but Statement-$II$ is not correct
B
Statement-$I$ is not correct,but Statement-$II$ is correct
C
Both Statement-$I$ and Statement-$II$ are correct
D
Both Statement-$I$ and Statement-$II$ are not correct

Solution

(C) Statement-$I$ is correct: Thermal energy promotes random motion of particles,while intermolecular forces hold them together. If thermal energy dominates,the particles move apart,leading to a gaseous state.
Statement-$II$ is correct: From the ideal gas equation,$PV = nRT$. Since $n = \frac{m}{M}$,we have $PV = \frac{m}{M}RT$. Rearranging gives $P = \frac{m}{V} \times \frac{RT}{M}$,where $\frac{m}{V} = d$ (density). Thus,$P = d \times \frac{RT}{M}$. At constant temperature $(T)$ and molar mass $(M)$,$P \propto d$ or $d \propto P$.

At $T(K)$,a gaseous mixture contains $H_2$ and $O_2$. The total pressure of the mixture is $2 \ bar$. The partial pressure of $H_2$ is $1.778 \ bar$. What is the weight $(w/w)$ percentage of $H_2$ in the mixture?
A
$66.67$
B
$33.33$
C
$80$
D
$20$

Solution

(B) Given: Total pressure $P_{total} = 2 \ bar$,Partial pressure of $H_2$ $(P_{H_2})$ = $1.778 \ bar$.
Partial pressure of $O_2$ $(P_{O_2})$ = $P_{total} - P_{H_2} = 2 - 1.778 = 0.222 \ bar$.
According to Dalton's Law,the mole fraction $(x)$ is proportional to the partial pressure: $x_{H_2} = \frac{P_{H_2}}{P_{total}} = \frac{1.778}{2} = 0.889$ and $x_{O_2} = \frac{P_{O_2}}{P_{total}} = \frac{0.222}{2} = 0.111$.
Assuming $1 \ mole$ of the mixture,moles of $H_2$ $(n_{H_2})$ = $0.889 \ mol$ and moles of $O_2$ $(n_{O_2})$ = $0.111 \ mol$.
Mass of $H_2$ = $n_{H_2} \times M_{H_2} = 0.889 \times 2 = 1.778 \ g$.
Mass of $O_2$ = $n_{O_2} \times M_{O_2} = 0.111 \times 32 = 3.552 \ g$.
Total mass = $1.778 + 3.552 = 5.33 \ g$.
Weight percentage of $H_2$ = $(\frac{1.778}{5.33}) \times 100 \approx 33.33 \%$.

At $T \ K$,hydrogen and oxygen gases are mixed in the ratio of $1:2$ by mass in a closed vessel of volume '$V$' litres. If the total pressure of the gaseous mixture is '$p$' atm,the partial pressure of oxygen (in atm) is
A
$\frac{p}{9}$
B
$9 p$
C
$\frac{8 p}{9}$
D
$\frac{p}{6}$

Solution

(A) Let the mass of $H_2$ be $w \ g$ and the mass of $O_2$ be $2w \ g$.
Number of moles of $H_2$ $(n_{H_2})$ = $\frac{w}{2}$.
Number of moles of $O_2$ $(n_{O_2})$ = $\frac{2w}{32} = \frac{w}{16}$.
Total moles $(n_{total})$ = $\frac{w}{2} + \frac{w}{16} = \frac{8w + w}{16} = \frac{9w}{16}$.
Mole fraction of $O_2$ $(x_{O_2})$ = $\frac{n_{O_2}}{n_{total}} = \frac{w/16}{9w/16} = \frac{1}{9}$.
Partial pressure of $O_2$ = $x_{O_2} \times P_{total} = \frac{1}{9} \times p = \frac{p}{9}$ atm.

At $27^{\circ} C$,$1 \ L$ of $H_2$ with a pressure of $1 \ bar$ is mixed with $2 \ L$ of $O_2$ with a pressure of $2 \ bar$ in a $10 \ L$ flask. What is the pressure exerted by the gaseous mixture in $bar$? (Assume $H_2$ and $O_2$ as ideal gases)
A
$0.5$
B
$0.4$
C
$1.0$
D
$0.1$

Solution

(A) Using the ideal gas law $PV = nRT$,we find the moles of each gas at constant temperature $T = 300 \ K$.
For $H_2$: $n_1 = \frac{P_1 V_1}{RT} = \frac{1 \ bar \times 1 \ L}{RT} = \frac{1}{RT}$.
For $O_2$: $n_2 = \frac{P_2 V_2}{RT} = \frac{2 \ bar \times 2 \ L}{RT} = \frac{4}{RT}$.
Total moles $n_{total} = n_1 + n_2 = \frac{1+4}{RT} = \frac{5}{RT}$.
In the $10 \ L$ flask,the total pressure $P_{total}$ is given by $P_{total} = \frac{n_{total} RT}{V_{final}}$.
$P_{total} = \frac{(5/RT) \times RT}{10 \ L} = \frac{5}{10} \ bar = 0.5 \ bar$.

$2.0 \ g$ of $H_2$ diffuses through a porous container in $10 \ minutes$. How many grams of $O_2$ would diffuse from the same container in the same time under similar conditions (in $.0$)?
A
$2$
B
$4$
C
$16$
D
$8$

Solution

(D) According to Graham's Law of Diffusion,the rate of diffusion $r$ is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass $M$ of the gas: $r \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{M}}$.
Since the time $t$ is the same,the rate of diffusion is directly proportional to the mass $w$ diffused: $r = \frac{w}{t}$.
Therefore,$\frac{w_1}{w_2} = \sqrt{\frac{M_2}{M_1}}$.
Given: $w_{H_2} = 2.0 \ g$,$M_{H_2} = 2 \ g/mol$,$M_{O_2} = 32 \ g/mol$.
Substituting the values: $\frac{2.0}{w_{O_2}} = \sqrt{\frac{2}{32}} = \sqrt{\frac{1}{16}} = \frac{1}{4}$.
$w_{O_2} = 2.0 \times 4 = 8.0 \ g$.

$A$ and $B$ are ideal gases. At $T(K)$,$2 \ L$ of $A$ with a pressure of $1 \ bar$ is mixed with $4 \ L$ of $B$ with a pressure $p_B \ bar$ in a $100 \ L$ flask. The pressure exerted by the gaseous mixture is $0.1 \ bar$. What is the value of $p_B$ in $bar$?
A
$2$
B
$0.04$
C
$0.02$
D
$1$

Solution

(A) For an ideal gas,the product of pressure and volume $(PV)$ is proportional to the number of moles $(n)$ at a constant temperature $(T)$.
Using the principle of conservation of moles,the total pressure of the mixture $(P_{mix})$ in the final volume $(V_{final} = 100 \ L)$ is given by the sum of the partial pressures of $A$ and $B$.
Initial state of $A$: $P_1 = 1 \ bar$,$V_1 = 2 \ L$.
Initial state of $B$: $P_2 = p_B \ bar$,$V_2 = 4 \ L$.
Final state of mixture: $P_{mix} = 0.1 \ bar$,$V_{final} = 100 \ L$.
According to Boyle's Law $(P_1V_1 + P_2V_2 = P_{mix}V_{final})$:
$(1 \ bar \times 2 \ L) + (p_B \ bar \times 4 \ L) = 0.1 \ bar \times 100 \ L$
$2 + 4p_B = 10$
$4p_B = 10 - 2$
$4p_B = 8$
$p_B = 2 \ bar$.
Therefore,the value of $p_B$ is $2$.

(B) The relationship between $rms$ speed $(v_{rms})$ and most probable velocity $(v_{mp})$ is given by the formula: $v_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M}}$ and $v_{mp} = \sqrt{\frac{2RT}{M}}$.
Dividing the two expressions,we get: $\frac{v_{mp}}{v_{rms}} = \sqrt{\frac{2}{3}}$.
Given $v_{rms} = 3.16 \times 10^2 \ ms^{-1}$,we calculate $v_{mp} = v_{rms} \times \sqrt{\frac{2}{3}}$.
$v_{mp} = 3.16 \times 10^2 \times \sqrt{0.6667} \approx 3.16 \times 10^2 \times 0.8165$.
$v_{mp} \approx 2.58 \times 10^2 \ ms^{-1}$.

The most probable speed $(u_{mp})$ of $8 \ g$ of $H_2$ is $2 \times 10^2 \ ms^{-1}$. The kinetic energy (in $J$) of the same amount of $H_2$ gas is:
A
$480$
B
$240$
C
$720$
D
$120$

Solution

(B) The most probable speed is given by the formula $u_{mp} = \sqrt{\frac{2RT}{M}}$.
Given $u_{mp} = 200 \ ms^{-1}$ and molar mass $M = 2 \times 10^{-3} \ kg \ mol^{-1}$.
$200 = \sqrt{\frac{2RT}{2 \times 10^{-3}}} \implies 40000 = \frac{2RT}{2 \times 10^{-3}} \implies RT = 40 \ J \ mol^{-1}$.
The kinetic energy of an ideal gas is given by $KE = \frac{3}{2} nRT$.
Number of moles $n = \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{molar mass}} = \frac{8 \ g}{2 \ g \ mol^{-1}} = 4 \ mol$.
$KE = \frac{3}{2} \times 4 \times 40 = 6 \times 40 = 240 \ J$.

At what temperature (in $K$) is the $rms$ velocity of $SO_2$ molecules equal to the $rms$ velocity of $O_2$ molecules at $27^{\circ} C$?
A
$300$
B
$1200$
C
$600$
D
$900$

Solution

(C) The formula for $rms$ velocity is $v_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M}}$.
For $v_{rms}$ of $SO_2$ to be equal to $v_{rms}$ of $O_2$,we have $\sqrt{\frac{3RT_{SO_2}}{M_{SO_2}}} = \sqrt{\frac{3RT_{O_2}}{M_{O_2}}}$.
Squaring both sides and canceling common terms,we get $\frac{T_{SO_2}}{M_{SO_2}} = \frac{T_{O_2}}{M_{O_2}}$.
Given $T_{O_2} = 27 + 273 = 300 \ K$,$M_{O_2} = 32 \ g/mol$,and $M_{SO_2} = 64 \ g/mol$.
Substituting the values: $\frac{T_{SO_2}}{64} = \frac{300}{32}$.
$T_{SO_2} = \frac{300 \times 64}{32} = 300 \times 2 = 600 \ K$.

At $27^{\circ} C$ kinetic energy of $4 \ g$ of $H_2$ is $x \ J$. What is the kinetic energy (in $J$) of $6.4 \ g$ of oxygen at $127^{\circ} C$?
A
$\frac{x}{15}$
B
$\frac{4 x}{15}$
C
$\frac{8 x}{15}$
D
$\frac{2 x}{15}$

Solution

(D) The kinetic energy $(KE)$ of an ideal gas is given by the formula $KE = \frac{3}{2} nRT$.
For $H_2$:
Molar mass $M(H_2) = 2 \ g/mol$.
Number of moles $n_1 = \frac{4 \ g}{2 \ g/mol} = 2 \ mol$.
Temperature $T_1 = 27 + 273 = 300 \ K$.
$x = \frac{3}{2} \times 2 \times R \times 300 = 900R$.
For $O_2$:
Molar mass $M(O_2) = 32 \ g/mol$.
Number of moles $n_2 = \frac{6.4 \ g}{32 \ g/mol} = 0.2 \ mol$.
Temperature $T_2 = 127 + 273 = 400 \ K$.
$KE_2 = \frac{3}{2} \times 0.2 \times R \times 400 = 120R$.
Now,find the ratio: $\frac{KE_2}{x} = \frac{120R}{900R} = \frac{12}{90} = \frac{2}{15}$.
Therefore,$KE_2 = \frac{2x}{15} \ J$.

At $T(K)$,the $u_{rms}$ of $CO_2$ is $412 \ ms^{-1}$. What is its kinetic energy (in $kJ \ mol^{-1}$) at the same temperature? $(CO_2 = 44 \ u)$.
A
$3.7343$
B
$7.4687$
C
$14.9374$
D
$3734.3$

Solution

(A) The root mean square velocity $(u_{rms})$ is given by the formula $u_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M}}$.
Given $u_{rms} = 412 \ ms^{-1}$ and molar mass $M = 44 \times 10^{-3} \ kg \ mol^{-1}$.
Squaring both sides: $u_{rms}^2 = \frac{3RT}{M} \implies \frac{3}{2}RT = \frac{1}{2} M u_{rms}^2$.
The kinetic energy $(KE)$ of $1 \ mol$ of an ideal gas is given by $KE = \frac{3}{2}RT = \frac{1}{2} M u_{rms}^2$.
Substituting the values: $KE = \frac{1}{2} \times (44 \times 10^{-3} \ kg \ mol^{-1}) \times (412 \ ms^{-1})^2$.
$KE = 0.5 \times 0.044 \times 169744 \ J \ mol^{-1} = 3734.368 \ J \ mol^{-1}$.
Converting to $kJ \ mol^{-1}$: $KE = \frac{3734.368}{1000} \approx 3.7344 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$.
Thus,the correct option is $A$.

$Statement-I$ : If the intermolecular forces are stronger than thermal energy,the substance prefers to be in a gaseous state.
$Statement-II$ : Among all elements,the total number of elements available as gases at room temperature is $10$.
A
Both $Statement-I$ and $Statement-II$ are correct
B
Both $Statement-I$ and $Statement-II$ are not correct
C
$Statement-I$ is correct,but $Statement-II$ is not correct
D
$Statement-I$ is not correct,but $Statement-II$ is correct

Solution

(B) $Statement-I$ is incorrect. If intermolecular forces are stronger than thermal energy,the substance prefers to be in a solid or liquid state,not a gaseous state. Thermal energy promotes random motion,which leads to the gaseous state.
$Statement-II$ is correct. There are $11$ elements that are gases at room temperature $(H_2, He, N_2, O_2, F_2, Ne, Cl_2, Ar, Kr, Xe, Rn)$. Wait,checking the count: $H, He, N, O, F, Ne, Cl, Ar, Kr, Xe, Rn$ equals $11$ elements. Therefore,the statement claiming $10$ is incorrect.
Both statements are incorrect.

Identify the conditions at which the van der Waals equation of state changes to the ideal gas equation.
A
High temperature and high pressure
B
Low temperature and high pressure
C
High temperature and low pressure
D
Low temperature and low pressure

Solution

(C) The van der Waals equation is given by $(P + \frac{an^2}{V^2})(V - nb) = nRT$.
For $1 \ mol$ of gas,this becomes $(P + \frac{a}{V^2})(V - b) = RT$.
At high temperature,the kinetic energy of gas molecules is very high,making the intermolecular forces of attraction (represented by the constant $a$) negligible.
At low pressure,the volume $V$ is very large,making the volume occupied by gas molecules (represented by the constant $b$) negligible compared to the total volume.
Under these conditions,$(P + 0)(V - 0) = RT$,which simplifies to $PV = RT$,the ideal gas equation.

Choose the incorrect statement from the following:
A
At Boyle temperature,a real gas obeys the ideal gas law over an appreciable range of pressure.
B
Critical temperature of $CO_2$ is $27.5^{\circ} C$.
C
Above critical temperature,a real gas behaves like an ideal gas.
D
At room temperature and $1 \ atm$ pressure,the compressibility factor $(Z)$ for $H_2$ gas is greater than $1$.

Solution

(B) The critical temperature of $CO_2$ is $31.1^{\circ} C$ $(304.1 \ K)$,not $27.5^{\circ} C$. Therefore,statement $B$ is incorrect.
At Boyle temperature,the effects of attractive and repulsive forces balance out,making the gas behave ideally over a range of pressure.
Above the critical temperature,gases cannot be liquefied by pressure alone,and they exhibit behavior closer to ideal gases as temperature increases.
For $H_2$ and $He$,the compressibility factor $Z$ is always greater than $1$ at room temperature because the repulsive forces dominate due to their small molecular size.

C
$(p + \frac{a}{V^2})(V + b) = RT$
D
$(p + \frac{a}{V})(V - b) = RT$

Solution

(A) The van der Waals equation for $n$ moles of a real gas is given by $(p + \frac{an^2}{V^2})(V - nb) = nRT$.
For $1 \text{ mole}$ of a real gas,we substitute $n = 1$ into the equation.
This results in $(p + \frac{a}{V^2})(V - b) = RT$.

Solution

(B) $I$. Glass is considered a supercooled liquid or an extremely viscous liquid,which is a correct statement.
$II$. Surface tension of liquids decreases with an increase in temperature because the kinetic energy of molecules increases,which weakens the intermolecular forces of attraction. This is a correct statement.
$III$. The compressibility factor $(Z)$ for an ideal gas is defined as $Z = \frac{PV}{nRT} = 1$. Therefore,the statement that it is zero is incorrect.

B
$I$ & $III$ only
C

D

Solution

(B) $I$) The energy of the hydrogen atom in its ground state $(n=1)$ is given by $E_n = -13.6 \ eV / n^2$. For $n=1$,$E_1 = -13.6 \ eV$. Thus,statement $I$ is correct.
$II$) The radius of the $n^{th}$ orbit of a hydrogen-like species is given by $r_n = 52.9 \times n^2 / Z \ pm$. For $H$ $(Z=1)$ and $n=3$,$r_3 = 52.9 \times 3^2 / 1 = 476.1 \ pm$. Thus,statement $II$ is incorrect.
$III$) The radius of the first orbit $(n=1)$ is $r_1 = 52.9 \times (1^2 / Z) \ pm$. As $Z$ increases,$r_1$ decreases. The atomic numbers are $H(1), He^{+}(2), Li^{2+}(3), Be^{3+}(4)$. Therefore,the order of radii is $H > He^{+} > Li^{2+} > Be^{3+}$. Thus,statement $III$ is correct.

A

Solution

(B) The radius of the $n^{th}$ orbit of a hydrogen-like species is given by $r_n = a_0 \times \frac{n^2}{Z}$, where $a_0$ is the Bohr radius $(52.9 \text{ pm})$.
For $H$ atom $(Z=1)$: $x = r_3 - r_2 = a_0 \times (3^2 - 2^2) / 1 = a_0 \times (9 - 4) = 5a_0$.

A
$132.25$
B
$529.00$
C
$264.50$
D
$793.50$

Solution

(C) The radius of an orbit in a hydrogen-like species is given by the formula: $r_n = 0.529 \times \frac{n^2}{Z} \mathring{A}$.
Since $1 \mathring{A} = 100 \ pm$, the formula in $pm$ is $r_n = 52.9 \times \frac{n^2}{Z} \ pm$.
For $He^{+}$ ion $(Z = 2)$, the radius of the fourth orbit $(n = 4)$ is:
$R_1 = 52.9 \times \frac{4^2}{2} = 52.9 \times \frac{16}{2} = 52.9 \times 8 = 423.2 \ pm$.
For $Li^{2+}$ ion $(Z = 3)$, the radius of the third orbit $(n = 3)$ is:
$R_2 = 52.9 \times \frac{3^2}{3} = 52.9 \times 3 = 158.7 \ pm$.

A
$-3.4$
B

C
$-6.8$
D
$-0.85$

Solution

(A) The energy of an electron in the $n^{th}$ orbit of a hydrogen-like species is given by the formula: $E_n = -13.6 \times \frac{Z^2}{n^2} \ eV$.
For the hydrogen atom $(Z=1)$,the energy of the second orbit $(n=2)$ is $E_2 = -13.6 \times \frac{1^2}{2^2} = -3.4 \ eV$.
For the $He^{+}$ ion,the atomic number $Z=2$.
We need to find the energy of the fourth orbit $(n=4)$.
Substituting these values into the formula: $E_4 = -13.6 \times \frac{2^2}{4^2} \ eV$.
$E_4 = -13.6 \times \frac{4}{16} \ eV$.
$E_4 = -13.6 \times \frac{1}{4} \ eV$.
$E_4 = -3.4 \ eV$.

Solution

(A) Statement $I$ is incorrect because isotopes of an element have the same electronic configuration and therefore exhibit similar chemical properties.
Statement $II$ is correct because the Lyman series corresponds to electronic transitions to the $n=1$ energy level,which releases energy in the ultraviolet $(UV)$ region.
Statement $III$ is correct because,according to Maxwell's wave theory,electromagnetic radiation consists of oscillating electric and magnetic fields that are mutually perpendicular to each other and to the direction of wave propagation.

The wavenumber of the first line $(n_2=3)$ in the Balmer series of hydrogen is $\bar{\nu}_1 \ cm^{-1}$. What is the wavenumber (in $cm^{-1}$) of the second line $(n_2=4)$ in the Balmer series of $He^{+}$?
A
$\frac{5 \bar{\nu}_1}{27}$
B
$\frac{27 \bar{\nu}_1}{5}$
C
$\frac{27 \bar{\nu}_1}{20}$
D
$\frac{20 \bar{\nu}_1}{27}$

Solution

(B) The Rydberg formula for wavenumber is $\bar{\nu} = R_H Z^2 (\frac{1}{n_1^2} - \frac{1}{n_2^2})$.
For the first line of the Balmer series of $H$ $(Z=1, n_1=2, n_2=3)$: $\bar{\nu}_1 = R_H (1)^2 (\frac{1}{2^2} - \frac{1}{3^2}) = R_H (\frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{9}) = R_H (\frac{5}{36})$.
So,$R_H = \frac{36 \bar{\nu}_1}{5}$.
For the second line of the Balmer series of $He^{+}$ $(Z=2, n_1=2, n_2=4)$: $\bar{\nu}_2 = R_H (2)^2 (\frac{1}{2^2} - \frac{1}{4^2}) = R_H (4) (\frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{16}) = R_H (4) (\frac{3}{16}) = R_H (\frac{3}{4})$.
Substituting $R_H = \frac{36 \bar{\nu}_1}{5}$ into the expression for $\bar{\nu}_2$: $\bar{\nu}_2 = (\frac{36 \bar{\nu}_1}{5}) \times (\frac{3}{4}) = \frac{9 \times 3 \bar{\nu}_1}{5} = \frac{27 \bar{\nu}_1}{5}$.

B
$\frac{R(n^2-4)}{n^2}$
C
$\frac{n^2}{4R(n^2-4)}$
D
$\frac{4R(n^2-4)}{n^2}$

Solution

(A) The Rydberg formula for hydrogen-like species is given by: $\frac{1}{\lambda} = R Z^2 \left( \frac{1}{n_1^2} - \frac{1}{n_2^2} \right)$.
For the $He^{+}$ ion,the atomic number $Z = 2$.
For the Balmer series,the transition ends at $n_1 = 2$,and $n_2 = n$ (where $n > 2$).
Substituting these values into the formula:
$\frac{1}{\lambda} = R (2)^2 \left( \frac{1}{2^2} - \frac{1}{n^2} \right)$
$\frac{1}{\lambda} = 4R \left( \frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{n^2} \right)$
$\frac{1}{\lambda} = 4R \left( \frac{n^2 - 4}{4n^2} \right)$
$\frac{1}{\lambda} = \frac{R(n^2 - 4)}{n^2}$
Therefore,the wavelength $\lambda$ is given by: $\lambda = \frac{n^2}{R(n^2 - 4)}$ or $\lambda = \frac{n^2}{R(n-2)(n+2)}$.

A
$b < d < c < a$
B
$a < d < c < b$
C
$a < b < c < d$
D
$b < c < d < a$

Solution

(A) The energy of electromagnetic radiation is given by $E = h\nu = \frac{hc}{\lambda}$.
For $a$: $\nu_a = 3 \times 10^{15} \ Hz$.
For $b$: $\nu_b = 2 \times 10^{14} \ Hz$.
For $c$: $\lambda_c = 400 \ nm = 400 \times 10^{-9} \ m$. Frequency $\nu_c = \frac{c}{\lambda_c} = \frac{3 \times 10^8}{400 \times 10^{-9}} = 7.5 \times 10^{14} \ Hz$.
For $d$: $\lambda_d = 750 \ nm = 750 \times 10^{-9} \ m$. Frequency $\nu_d = \frac{c}{\lambda_d} = \frac{3 \times 10^8}{750 \times 10^{-9}} = 4 \times 10^{14} \ Hz$.
Comparing frequencies: $\nu_b (2 \times 10^{14}) < \nu_d (4 \times 10^{14}) < \nu_c (7.5 \times 10^{14}) < \nu_a (30 \times 10^{14})$.
Since $E \propto \nu$,the increasing order of energies is $b < d < c < a$.

The wavelength of a particular electron transition for $He^{+}$ is $100 \ nm$. The wavelength (in $\mathring{A}$) of $H$ atom for the same transition is
A
$1000$
B
$100$
C
$4000$
D
$2000$

Solution

(C) The Rydberg formula for the wavelength of a transition is given by $\frac{1}{\lambda} = R Z^2 (\frac{1}{n_1^2} - \frac{1}{n_2^2})$.
For the same transition,the term $(\frac{1}{n_1^2} - \frac{1}{n_2^2})$ is constant.
Therefore,$\lambda \propto \frac{1}{Z^2}$.
For $He^{+}$,$Z = 2$,so $\lambda_{He^+} \propto \frac{1}{2^2} = \frac{1}{4}$.
For $H$,$Z = 1$,so $\lambda_{H} \propto \frac{1}{1^2} = 1$.
Thus,$\frac{\lambda_{H}}{\lambda_{He^+}} = \frac{Z_{He^+}^2}{Z_{H}^2} = \frac{2^2}{1^2} = 4$.
Given $\lambda_{He^+} = 100 \ nm = 1000 \ \mathring{A}$.
Therefore,$\lambda_{H} = 4 \times 1000 \ \mathring{A} = 4000 \ \mathring{A}$.

A
$\frac{3x-y}{2}$
B
$\frac{3y-x}{2}$
C
$\frac{2y-x}{3}$
D
$\frac{2}{3}(y-x)$

Solution

(B) According to Einstein's photoelectric equation: $K.E. = h\nu - h\nu_0$,where $\nu_0$ is the threshold frequency.
For the first case: $z = hx - h\nu_0$ --- $(1)$
For the second case: $\frac{z}{3} = hy - h\nu_0$ --- $(2)$
Multiply equation $(2)$ by $3$: $z = 3hy - 3h\nu_0$ --- $(3)$
Equating $(1)$ and $(3)$: $hx - h\nu_0 = 3hy - 3h\nu_0$
$2h\nu_0 = 3hy - hx$
$2\nu_0 = 3y - x$
$\nu_0 = \frac{3y-x}{2}$

B
$0.527 \times 10^{-27}$
C
$0.527 \times 10^{-24}$

(C) According to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, $\Delta x \times \Delta p \geq \frac{h}{4\pi}$.
Given, $\Delta x = 100 \ pm = 100 \times 10^{-12} \ m = 10^{-10} \ m$.
$h = 6.626 \times 10^{-34} \ J \ s$.
Substituting the values, $\Delta p \geq \frac{h}{4\pi \Delta x}$.
$\Delta p \geq \frac{6.626 \times 10^{-34}}{4 \times 3.14159 \times 10^{-10}}$.
$\Delta p \geq \frac{6.626 \times 10^{-34}}{12.566 \times 10^{-10}}$.
$\Delta p \geq 0.527 \times 10^{-24} \ kg \ m \ s^{-1}$.

C
$6 \pi \times 52.9 \ pm$
D
$2 \pi \times 5.29 \ pm$

Solution

(C) According to the Bohr's quantization condition, the angular momentum of an electron in the $n^{th}$ orbit is given by $mvr = \frac{nh}{2\pi}$.
Rearranging this, we get $2\pi r = \frac{nh}{mv}$.
Since the de Broglie wavelength is $\lambda = \frac{h}{mv}$, we can substitute this into the equation to get $2\pi r = n\lambda$, or $\lambda = \frac{2\pi r}{n}$.
For the $H$-atom, the radius of the $n^{th}$ orbit is $r_n = n^2 \times a_0$, where $a_0 = 52.9 \ pm$.
For the third orbit $(n = 3)$, $r_3 = 3^2 \times 52.9 \ pm = 9 \times 52.9 \ pm$.
Substituting $n = 3$ and $r_3$ into the wavelength formula: $\lambda = \frac{2\pi \times (9 \times 52.9 \ pm)}{3} = 6\pi \times 52.9 \ pm$.

The de Broglie wavelengths of two fast moving particles $X$ and $Y$ are $1 \ nm$ and $3 \ nm$ respectively. The mass of $X$ is nine times the mass of $Y$. The ratio of kinetic energies of $X$ and $Y$ is:
A
$1: 3$
B
$1: 1$
C
$9: 1$
D
$1: 9$

Solution

(B) The de Broglie wavelength $\lambda$ is given by the formula $\lambda = \frac{h}{p} = \frac{h}{\sqrt{2mK}}$,where $h$ is Planck's constant,$m$ is mass,and $K$ is kinetic energy.
Squaring both sides,we get $\lambda^2 = \frac{h^2}{2mK}$,which implies $K = \frac{h^2}{2m\lambda^2}$.
Given $\lambda_X = 1 \ nm$,$\lambda_Y = 3 \ nm$,and $m_X = 9m_Y$.
The ratio of kinetic energies is $\frac{K_X}{K_Y} = \frac{h^2}{2m_X\lambda_X^2} \times \frac{2m_Y\lambda_Y^2}{h^2} = \frac{m_Y}{m_X} \times \left(\frac{\lambda_Y}{\lambda_X}\right)^2$.
Substituting the values: $\frac{K_X}{K_Y} = \frac{m_Y}{9m_Y} \times \left(\frac{3}{1}\right)^2 = \frac{1}{9} \times 9 = 1$.
Thus,the ratio is $1: 1$.

The uncertainty in the velocities of two particles $A$ and $B$ are $0.03 \ m \ s^{-1}$ and $0.01 \ m \ s^{-1}$ respectively. The mass of $B$ is four times the mass of $A$. The ratio of uncertainties in their positions is
A
$4/3$
B
$3/4$
C
$16/9$
D
$9/16$

Solution

(A) According to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle,$\Delta x \cdot \Delta p \ge \frac{h}{4\pi}$.
Since $\Delta p = m \cdot \Delta v$,we have $\Delta x \cdot m \cdot \Delta v = \text{constant}$.
Therefore,$\Delta x \propto \frac{1}{m \cdot \Delta v}$.
Given $m_B = 4m_A$,$\Delta v_A = 0.03 \ m \ s^{-1}$,and $\Delta v_B = 0.01 \ m \ s^{-1}$.
The ratio of uncertainties in positions is $\frac{\Delta x_A}{\Delta x_B} = \frac{m_B \cdot \Delta v_B}{m_A \cdot \Delta v_A}$.
Substituting the values: $\frac{\Delta x_A}{\Delta x_B} = \frac{4m_A \cdot 0.01}{m_A \cdot 0.03} = \frac{4 \cdot 0.01}{0.03} = \frac{4}{3}$.

$(h=6.6 \times 10^{-34} \ Js, 1 \ eV=1.6 \times 10^{-19} \ J)$
A
$1$
B
$4$
C
$2$
D
$3$

Solution

(C) The energy of the incident photon is given by $E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}$.
Substituting the values: $E = \frac{6.6 \times 10^{-34} \ J \cdot s \times 3 \times 10^8 \ m/s}{300 \times 10^{-9} \ m} = 6.6 \times 10^{-19} \ J$.
Converting this energy into $eV$: $E = \frac{6.6 \times 10^{-19} \ J}{1.6 \times 10^{-19} \ J/eV} = 4.125 \ eV$.
Electrons are ejected if the energy of the incident photon is greater than or equal to the work function $(\Phi)$ of the metal.
Comparing $4.125 \ eV$ with the given work functions:
$Mg (3.7 \ eV) < 4.125 \ eV$ (Ejected)
$Cu (4.8 \ eV) > 4.125 \ eV$ (Not ejected)
$Ag (4.3 \ eV) > 4.125 \ eV$ (Not ejected)
$Na (2.3 \ eV) < 4.125 \ eV$ (Ejected)
Thus,electrons will be ejected from $2$ metals ($Mg$ and $Na$).

B
$1.32 \times 10^{-19}$
C
$2.64 \times 10^{-19}$
D
$6.60 \times 10^{-19}$

Solution

(B) The energy of the incident photon is given by $E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}$.
Substituting the values: $E = \frac{6.63 \times 10^{-34} \ J s \times 3 \times 10^8 \ m s^{-1}}{221 \times 10^{-9} \ m} = 9.00 \times 10^{-19} \ J$.
The kinetic energy $(KE)$ of the ejected electron is given by $KE = E - \Phi$,where $\Phi$ is the work function.
$KE = 9.00 \times 10^{-19} \ J - 7.68 \times 10^{-19} \ J = 1.32 \times 10^{-19} \ J$.

A
$n=3, l=1, m=0, s=+\frac{1}{2}$
B
$n=4, l=0, m=0, s=-\frac{1}{2}$
C
$n=3, l=3, m=-3, s=+\frac{1}{2}$
D
$n=1, l=0, m=0, s=-\frac{1}{2}$

Solution

(C) For any electron,the value of the azimuthal quantum number $l$ must range from $0$ to $n-1$.
In option $C$,$n=3$,which implies that $l$ can only take values $0, 1, \text{or } 2$.
Since $l=3$ is given,this set of quantum numbers is impossible because $l$ cannot be equal to or greater than $n$.

For $(n+l) = 3$:
- $2p$ orbital $(n=2, l=1)$: $(n+l) = 2+1 = 3$. Number of electrons = $6$.
- $3s$ orbital $(n=3, l=0)$: $(n+l) = 3+0 = 3$. Number of electrons = $2$.
So,$x = 6 + 2 = 8$.
For $(n+l) = 4$:
- $3p$ orbital $(n=3, l=1)$: $(n+l) = 3+1 = 4$. Number of electrons = $6$.
- $4s$ orbital $(n=4, l=0)$: $(n+l) = 4+0 = 4$. Number of electrons = $2$.

A
$a, d$
B
$b, c$
C
$b, d$
D
$a, c$

Solution

(C) Friedel-Crafts alkylation is an electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction.
It does not occur with strongly deactivated rings (like benzoic acid,which has a $-COOH$ group) or with compounds that form a complex with the Lewis acid catalyst (like aniline,which has a $-NH_2$ group that coordinates with $AlCl_3$).
Chlorobenzene is deactivated due to the $-I$ effect of the chlorine atom,making it very slow to react,but it is generally considered to undergo the reaction under specific conditions.
Anisole (methoxybenzene) is an activated ring due to the $+M$ effect of the $-OCH_3$ group and readily undergoes Friedel-Crafts alkylation.
Therefore,$b$ (Chlorobenzene) and $d$ (Anisole) are the compounds that can undergo this reaction.

(A) Statement-$I$: $Al_2O_3$ is a well-known amphoteric oxide,meaning it reacts with both acids and bases. This statement is correct.
Statement-$II$: As we move down the group $13$ (Boron family),the metallic character increases,and the basic character of oxides increases. Therefore,$Tl_2O_3$ (thallium oxide) is more basic than $Ga_2O_3$ (gallium oxide). This statement is also correct.

$4HNO_3 + P_4O_{10} \rightarrow 2N_2O_5 + 4HPO_3$.
The reaction of concentrated nitric acid with phosphorus $(P_4)$ leads to the oxidation of phosphorus to phosphoric acid $(H_3PO_4)$ and the reduction of nitric acid to nitrogen dioxide $(NO_2)$:
$P_4 + 20HNO_3 \rightarrow 4H_3PO_4 + 20NO_2 + 4H_2O$.

C
Both $X$ and $Y$ are neutral in nature

Here,the salt '$X$' is sodium hypophosphite $(NaH_2PO_2)$ and the gas '$Y$' is phosphine $(PH_3)$.
In $NaH_2PO_2$,the oxidation state of $P$ is calculated as: $1 + 2 + x + 2(-2) = 0 \Rightarrow x = +1$.
In $PH_3$,the oxidation state of $P$ is calculated as: $x + 3(1) = 0 \Rightarrow x = -3$.

A
$2, 1$
B

C
$1, 2$
D
$2, 2$

Solution

(A) The reaction of red $P_4$ with alkali (like $NaOH$) produces hypophosphite $(H_2PO_2^-)$ and phosphine $(PH_3)$. The oxoacid formed upon acidification is hypophosphorous acid $(H_3PO_2)$.
In the structure of $H_3PO_2$,there is one $P=O$ bond,two $P-H$ bonds,and one $P-OH$ bond.
However,the question refers to the oxoacid prepared by treating $P_4$ with alkali,which is hypophosphorous acid $(H_3PO_2)$.
Wait,let us re-evaluate: The reaction of $P_4$ with $NaOH$ gives $PH_3$ and $NaH_2PO_2$. The acid is $H_3PO_2$. Its structure is $P(=O)(H)_2(OH)$. It has one $P=O$ bond and zero $P-P$ bonds.
If the question refers to hypophosphoric acid $(H_4P_2O_6)$,it has one $P-P$ bond and two $P=O$ bonds. But $H_4P_2O_6$ is not prepared by treating $P_4$ with alkali.
Given the options,the question likely refers to hypophosphoric acid $(H_4P_2O_6)$,which contains $2$ $P=O$ bonds and $1$ $P-P$ bond. Thus,the correct option is $A$.

$2) P_4 + 10SO_2Cl_2 \longrightarrow 4PCl_5 + 10SO_2$
In both reactions,the common product '$x$' is sulfur dioxide $(SO_2)$.
In $SO_2$,the central atom is sulfur $(S)$.
The electronic configuration of sulfur is $[Ne] 3s^2 3p^4$.
In $SO_2$,sulfur forms two double bonds with two oxygen atoms.
Sulfur has $6$ valence electrons. It uses $4$ electrons for bonding with oxygen atoms (two double bonds).
Therefore,$6 - 4 = 2$ electrons remain,which form $1$ lone pair on the sulfur atom.
Thus,the number of lone pair of electrons on the central atom of $SO_2$ is $1$.

A
Potassium permanganate on heating gives potassium manganate and manganese dioxide only.
B
Phosphine is used in smoke screens.
C
Bleaching action of chlorine is due to oxidation.
D
Noble gases have very low boiling points.

Solution

(A) The correct answer is $A$.
Heating potassium permanganate $(KMnO_4)$ results in the formation of potassium manganate $(K_2MnO_4)$,manganese dioxide $(MnO_2)$,and oxygen gas $(O_2)$.
The reaction is: $2KMnO_4 \xrightarrow{\Delta} K_2MnO_4 + MnO_2 + O_2$.
Since the statement in option $A$ claims it gives only potassium manganate and manganese dioxide,it is incorrect because oxygen is also produced.
Phosphine $(PH_3)$ is indeed used in smoke screens (Holme's signals).
Chlorine's bleaching action is due to oxidation in the presence of moisture.
Noble gases have weak van der Waals forces,leading to very low boiling points.

C
Boiling point : $H_2S < H_2Se < H_2Te < H_2O$
D
Melting point : $H_2S < H_2Se < H_2Te < H_2O$

Solution

(D) $1$. Thermal stability decreases down the group as the bond dissociation energy decreases: $H_2O > H_2S > H_2Se > H_2Te > H_2Po$. This is correct.
$2$. Reducing property increases down the group as the bond dissociation energy decreases: $H_2S < H_2Se < H_2Te < H_2Po$. This is correct.
$3$. Boiling point: $H_2O$ has the highest boiling point due to hydrogen bonding. For the rest,boiling point increases with increasing molecular mass: $H_2S < H_2Se < H_2Te < H_2O$. This is correct.
$4$. Melting point: The trend for melting point is $H_2S < H_2Se < H_2O < H_2Te$. $H_2O$ does not have the highest melting point compared to $H_2Te$ because of the crystal structure differences. Thus,the statement in option $D$ is incorrect.

C
$Na / NH_{3(l)} \quad - \quad$ condensation polymer
D
$(C_6H_5COO)_2 \quad - \quad$ network polymer

Solution

(B) The reaction $nClCH=CH_2 \xrightarrow{X} Y$ represents the polymerization of vinyl chloride to form polyvinyl chloride $(PVC)$.
$X$ is the initiator,which is benzoyl peroxide,represented as $(C_6H_5COO)_2$.
$Y$ is the polymer formed,which is polyvinyl chloride $(PVC)$.

A
$2 \times 10^4$
B
$3 \times 10^4$
C
$2 \times 10^5$
D
$3 \times 10^5$

Solution

(A) The number average molecular mass $(\overline{M}_n)$ is calculated using the formula: $\overline{M}_n = \frac{\sum N_i M_i}{\sum N_i}$
Here,$N_1 = 10$,$M_1 = 5,000$ and $N_2 = 5$,$M_2 = 50,000$.
$\sum N_i M_i = (10 \times 5,000) + (5 \times 50,000) = 50,000 + 250,000 = 300,000$.
$\sum N_i = 10 + 5 = 15$.
$\overline{M}_n = \frac{300,000}{15} = 20,000 = 2 \times 10^4$.

B
$2.16 \times 10^{22}$
C
$2.16 \times 10^{-22}$
D
$2.16 \times 10^{-24}$

Solution

(C) For a $bcc$ lattice,the relationship between the edge length $(a)$ and the atomic radius $(r)$ is given by: $4r = \sqrt{3}a$,which implies $a = \frac{4r}{\sqrt{3}}$.
Given $r = 2.598 \ \mathring{A} = 2.598 \times 10^{-8} \ cm$.
Substituting the value of $r$: $a = \frac{4 \times 2.598 \times 10^{-8}}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{4 \times 2.598 \times 10^{-8}}{1.732} = 4 \times 1.5 \times 10^{-8} = 6 \times 10^{-8} \ cm$.
The volume of the unit cell is $V = a^3 = (6 \times 10^{-8} \ cm)^3 = 216 \times 10^{-24} \ cm^3 = 2.16 \times 10^{-22} \ cm^3$.

For a simple cubic unit cell, the edge length $a$ is related to the radius of the atom $r$ by the formula $a = 2r$.
Given that the radius of the metal atom is $r = x \ pm$.
Therefore, the edge length $a = 2 \times x = 2x \ pm$.

B
$2\sqrt{2}, 20.52$
C
$2\sqrt{3}, 10.25$
D
$\sqrt{3}, 5.15$

Solution

(B) For an $fcc$ lattice,the edge length $a = 4 \ \mathring{A} = 4 \times 10^{-8} \ cm$.
$1$. The closest distance between atoms $(x)$ in an $fcc$ lattice is given by $x = \frac{a}{\sqrt{2}}$.
$x = \frac{4}{\sqrt{2}} = 2\sqrt{2} \ \mathring{A} \approx 2.828 \ \mathring{A}$.
$2$. The density $(y)$ is given by the formula $d = \frac{Z \times M}{N_A \times a^3}$.
For $fcc$,$Z = 4$. Given $M = 197 \ g \ mol^{-1}$,$N_A = 6 \times 10^{23} \ mol^{-1}$,and $a = 4 \times 10^{-8} \ cm$.
$y = \frac{4 \times 197}{6 \times 10^{23} \times (4 \times 10^{-8})^3} = \frac{788}{6 \times 10^{23} \times 64 \times 10^{-24}} = \frac{788}{38.4} \approx 20.52 \ g \ cm^{-3}$.

A
$4.04$
B
$2.93$
C
$1.93$
D

Solution

(C) For a simple cubic lattice,the number of atoms per unit cell $(Z)$ is $1$.
The formula for density $(d)$ is $d = \frac{Z \times M}{N_A \times a^3}$,where $M$ is the atomic weight,$N_A$ is Avogadro's number,and $a$ is the edge length.
Substituting the values: $7.2 = \frac{1 \times 250}{6.02 \times 10^{23} \times a^3}$.
$a^3 = \frac{250}{7.2 \times 6.02 \times 10^{23}} \approx 5.767 \times 10^{-23} \ cm^3$.
$a = (57.67 \times 10^{-24})^{1/3} \approx 3.86 \times 10^{-8} \ cm = 3.86 \ \mathring{A}$.
For a simple cubic lattice,the radius $(r)$ is related to the edge length $(a)$ by $r = \frac{a}{2}$.

Solution

(A) $1$. For a $BCC$ unit cell, the number of atoms per unit cell $(Z)$ is $2$.
$2$. The edge length $(a)$ is $288 \ pm = 288 \times 10^{-10} \ cm$.

$4$. The density $(\rho)$ is given by $\rho = \frac{Z \times M}{N_A \times a^3}$.
$5$. Rearranging to find the molar mass $(M)$: $M = \frac{\rho \times N_A \times a^3}{Z} = \frac{7.2 \times 6.022 \times 10^{23} \times 2.39 \times 10^{-23}}{2} \approx 51.8 \ g \ mol^{-1}$.

A
$100$
B
$200$
C
$300$
D

Solution

(B) For a simple cubic lattice, the relationship between the edge length $(a)$ and the radius of the atom $(r)$ is given by $a = 2r$.
The volume of the unit cell $(V)$ is given by $V = a^3$.
Given $V = 6.4 \times 10^7 \ pm^3$.
Therefore, $a^3 = 6.4 \times 10^7 \ pm^3$.
Taking the cube root of both sides, $a = (64 \times 10^6)^{1/3} \ pm = 400 \ pm$.
Since $a = 2r$, we have $r = a / 2 = 400 / 2 = 200 \ pm$.

B
$6.023 \times 10^{21}$
C
$6.023 \times 10^{17}$
D
$6.023 \times 10^{23}$

Solution

(C) When $CdCl_2$ is added to $AgCl$,each $Cd^{2+}$ ion replaces two $Ag^+$ ions to maintain electrical neutrality.
One $Cd^{2+}$ ion occupies the site of one $Ag^+$ ion,while the other $Ag^+$ site remains vacant.
Thus,the number of cation vacancies created is equal to the number of $Cd^{2+}$ ions added.
Given that $1 \times 10^{-4}$ mole percent of $CdCl_2$ is added,this means $1 \times 10^{-4} \text{ moles of } CdCl_2$ are present in $100 \text{ moles of } AgCl$.
Therefore,the number of moles of $Cd^{2+}$ ions per mole of $AgCl$ is $\frac{1 \times 10^{-4}}{100} = 1 \times 10^{-6} \text{ mol}$.
The number of cation vacancies per mole is $1 \times 10^{-6} \times N_A$,where $N_A = 6.023 \times 10^{23} \text{ mol}^{-1}$.
Number of vacancies $= 1 \times 10^{-6} \times 6.023 \times 10^{23} = 6.023 \times 10^{17} \text{ mol}^{-1}$.

A
$40$
B
$25$
C
$20$
D
$10$

Solution

(C) The mole fraction of a component is given by $x_i = \frac{n_i}{n_{total}}$.
Let the total number of moles be $n_{total} = 1 \ mol$.
Then,the moles of glucose $(n_{glucose})$ = $0.0244 \ mol$ and the moles of water $(n_{water})$ = $0.9756 \ mol$.
The molar mass of glucose $(C_6H_{12}O_6)$ is $180 \ g/mol$ and the molar mass of water $(H_2O)$ is $18 \ g/mol$.
Mass of glucose = $0.0244 \ mol \times 180 \ g/mol = 4.392 \ g$.
Mass of water = $0.9756 \ mol \times 18 \ g/mol = 17.5608 \ g$.
Total mass of the solution = $4.392 \ g + 17.5608 \ g = 21.9528 \ g$.
Weight percentage $(w/w)$ of glucose = $\frac{\text{mass of glucose}}{\text{total mass of solution}} \times 100 = \frac{4.392}{21.9528} \times 100 \approx 20\%$.

$40$
B

C
$20$
D
$10$

Solution

(C) Let $n_g$ be the moles of glucose and $n_w$ be the moles of water. Given that the mole fraction of water $(x_w)$ is $40$ times the mole fraction of glucose $(x_g)$,we have $x_w = 40 x_g$. Since $x_w + x_g = 1$,we get $40 x_g + x_g = 1$,which implies $41 x_g = 1$,so $x_g = 1/41$ and $x_w = 40/41$. The ratio of moles is $n_w / n_g = x_w / x_g = 40/1$. Thus,$n_w = 40 n_g$. The mass of glucose $(m_g)$ is $n_g \times 180 \ g/mol$ and the mass of water $(m_w)$ is $n_w \times 18 \ g/mol = 40 n_g \times 18 \ g/mol = 720 n_g \ g$. The weight percentage of glucose is $(m_g / (m_g + m_w)) \times 100 = (180 n_g / (180 n_g + 720 n_g)) \times 100 = (180 / 900) \times 100 = (1/5) \times 100 = 20\%$. Therefore,the correct option is $C$.

A
$0.31$
B

C
$0.93$
D

Solution

(B) Given,$10 \% (w/w)$ aqueous glucose solution means $10 \ g$ of glucose is present in $100 \ g$ of the solution.
Mass of solute (glucose) $= 10 \ g$.
Mass of solvent (water) $= 100 \ g - 10 \ g = 90 \ g = 0.09 \ kg$.
Molar mass of glucose $= 180 \ g \ mol^{-1}$.
Number of moles of glucose $= \frac{10 \ g}{180 \ g \ mol^{-1}} = 0.0556 \ mol$.
Molality $(m) = \frac{\text{moles of solute}}{\text{mass of solvent in kg}} = \frac{0.0556 \ mol}{0.09 \ kg} \approx 0.617 \ m$.

A
$100$
B
$400$
C
$800$
D
$200$

Solution

(D) The molality $(m)$ of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute per kilogram of solvent.
Given:
Mass of ethylene glycol $= 124 \ g$.
Molar mass of ethylene glycol $= 62 \ g \ mol^{-1}$.
Moles of ethylene glycol $(n)$ $= \frac{124 \ g}{62 \ g \ mol^{-1}} = 2 \ mol$.
Molality $(m)$ $= 10 \ mol \ kg^{-1}$.
Formula: $m = \frac{n_{\text{solute}}}{W_{\text{solvent (in kg)}}}$.
Substituting the values: $10 = \frac{2}{W_{\text{solvent (in kg)}}}$.
$W_{\text{solvent (in kg)}} = \frac{2}{10} = 0.2 \ kg$.
Since $1 \ kg = 1000 \ g$,$W_{\text{solvent}} = 0.2 \times 1000 = 200 \ g$.
Therefore,$x = 200$.

At $300 \ K$,the vapour pressure of a pure liquid $A$ is $70 \ mm \ Hg$. It forms an ideal solution with another liquid $B$. The mole fraction of $B$ in the solution is $0.2$ and the total vapour pressure of the solution is $84 \ mm \ Hg$ at the same temperature. What is the vapour pressure (in $mm \ Hg$) of pure liquid $B$ at $300 \ K$?
A
$140$
B
$70$
C
$280$
D
$560$

Solution

(A) According to Raoult's Law for an ideal solution,the total vapour pressure $P_{total}$ is given by:
$P_{total} = P_A^0 \cdot x_A + P_B^0 \cdot x_B$
Given:
$P_A^0 = 70 \ mm \ Hg$
$x_B = 0.2$
$x_A = 1 - x_B = 1 - 0.2 = 0.8$
$P_{total} = 84 \ mm \ Hg$
Substituting the values:
$84 = (70 \times 0.8) + (P_B^0 \times 0.2)$
$84 = 56 + 0.2 \cdot P_B^0$
$84 - 56 = 0.2 \cdot P_B^0$
$28 = 0.2 \cdot P_B^0$
$P_B^0 = \frac{28}{0.2} = 140 \ mm \ Hg$
Thus,the vapour pressure of pure liquid $B$ is $140 \ mm \ Hg$.

At $T \ K$,the vapour pressure of an aqueous solution of a non-volatile solute,whose mole fraction is $0.02$,is found to be $34.65 \ mm \ Hg$. What is the vapour pressure (in $mm \ Hg$) of pure water at the same temperature?
A
$35.7$
B
$35.36$
C
$35.0$
D
$34.3$

Solution

(B) According to Raoult's law for a solution containing a non-volatile solute,the relative lowering of vapour pressure is equal to the mole fraction of the solute:
$\frac{P^o - P_s}{P^o} = x_{solute}$
Where:
$P^o$ = Vapour pressure of pure water
$P_s$ = Vapour pressure of the solution = $34.65 \ mm \ Hg$
$x_{solute}$ = Mole fraction of the solute = $0.02$
Substituting the values:
$\frac{P^o - 34.65}{P^o} = 0.02$
$1 - \frac{34.65}{P^o} = 0.02$
$1 - 0.02 = \frac{34.65}{P^o}$
$0.98 = \frac{34.65}{P^o}$
$P^o = \frac{34.65}{0.98} = 35.357 \ mm \ Hg \approx 35.36 \ mm \ Hg$
Thus,the vapour pressure of pure water is $35.36 \ mm \ Hg$.

At $298 \ K$,$0.714$ moles of liquid $A$ is dissolved in $5.555$ moles of liquid $B$. The vapour pressure of the resultant solution is $475 \ torr$. The vapour pressure of pure liquid $A$ at the same temperature is $280.7 \ torr$. What is the vapour pressure of pure liquid $B$ in $torr$?
A
$486$
B
$550$
C
$514$
D
$500$

Solution

(D) According to Raoult's law for a solution of two volatile liquids,the total vapour pressure $P_{total}$ is given by: $P_{total} = P_A^0 \chi_A + P_B^0 \chi_B$.
Given: $n_A = 0.714 \ mol$,$n_B = 5.555 \ mol$.
Total moles $n_{total} = 0.714 + 5.555 = 6.269 \ mol$.
Mole fractions are: $\chi_A = \frac{0.714}{6.269} \approx 0.1139$ and $\chi_B = \frac{5.555}{6.269} \approx 0.8861$.
Given $P_{total} = 475 \ torr$ and $P_A^0 = 280.7 \ torr$.
Substituting values: $475 = (280.7 \times 0.1139) + (P_B^0 \times 0.8861)$.
$475 = 31.97 + (P_B^0 \times 0.8861)$.
$443.03 = P_B^0 \times 0.8861$.
$P_B^0 = \frac{443.03}{0.8861} \approx 499.98 \ torr \approx 500 \ torr$.

At $T \ K$,the vapour pressure of pure benzene $(C_6H_6)$ and toluene $(C_7H_8)$ are $75 \ mm \ Hg$ and $22 \ mm \ Hg$ respectively. $23.4 \ g$ of benzene and $64.4 \ g$ of toluene are mixed to form an ideal solution. If the vapours are in equilibrium with the liquid mixture,the mole fraction of toluene in the vapour phase is (Atomic weight: $C=12, H=1$).
A
$0.406$
B
$0.594$
C
$0.539$
D
$0.461$

Solution

(A) $1$. Calculate moles of components:
$n_{\text{benzene}} = \frac{23.4 \ g}{78 \ g/mol} = 0.3 \ mol$
$n_{\text{toluene}} = \frac{64.4 \ g}{92 \ g/mol} = 0.7 \ mol$
$2$. Calculate mole fractions in liquid phase $(x)$:
$x_{\text{benzene}} = \frac{0.3}{0.3 + 0.7} = 0.3$
$x_{\text{toluene}} = \frac{0.7}{0.3 + 0.7} = 0.7$
$3$. Calculate partial pressures using Raoult's Law:
$P_{\text{benzene}} = x_{\text{benzene}} \times P^0_{\text{benzene}} = 0.3 \times 75 = 22.5 \ mm \ Hg$
$P_{\text{toluene}} = x_{\text{toluene}} \times P^0_{\text{toluene}} = 0.7 \times 22 = 15.4 \ mm \ Hg$
$4$. Calculate total pressure $(P_{\text{total}})$:
$P_{\text{total}} = 22.5 + 15.4 = 37.9 \ mm \ Hg$
$5$. Calculate mole fraction of toluene in vapour phase $(y_{\text{toluene}})$:
$y_{\text{toluene}} = \frac{P_{\text{toluene}}}{P_{\text{total}}} = \frac{15.4}{37.9} \approx 0.406$

At $T \ K$,the vapour pressure of an $x$ molal aqueous solution containing a non-volatile solute is $12.078 \ kPa$. The vapour pressure of pure water at $T \ K$ is $12.3 \ kPa$. What is the value of $x$?
A
$10$
B
$1.018$
C
$0.1018$
D
$0.018$

Solution

(B) According to Raoult's law for a solution containing a non-volatile solute,the relative lowering of vapour pressure is given by: $\frac{P^o - P_s}{P^o} = \frac{n_2}{n_1 + n_2} \approx \frac{n_2}{n_1}$ (for dilute solutions).
Here,$P^o = 12.3 \ kPa$,$P_s = 12.078 \ kPa$.
The lowering of vapour pressure is $\Delta P = P^o - P_s = 12.3 - 12.078 = 0.222 \ kPa$.
Relative lowering of vapour pressure = $\frac{0.222}{12.3} = 0.018048$.
For an aqueous solution,molality $x = \frac{n_2 \times 1000}{W_1 \ (g)}$,where $W_1$ is the mass of water in grams.
We know $\frac{n_2}{n_1} = \frac{n_2 \times M_1}{W_1} = \frac{x \times M_1}{1000}$,where $M_1 = 18 \ g/mol$ (molar mass of water).
So,$0.018048 = \frac{x \times 18}{1000}$.
$x = \frac{0.018048 \times 1000}{18} = \frac{18.048}{18} \approx 1.0026 \approx 1.018$ (considering standard approximations).
Thus,the correct option is $B$.

At $T \ K$,the vapour pressure of water is $x \ kPa$. What is the vapour pressure (in $kPa$) of a $1 \ m$ (molal) aqueous solution containing a non-volatile solute (in $x$)?
A
$1.018$
B
$0.8$
C
$0.972$
D
$0.982$

Solution

(D) The relative lowering of vapour pressure is given by Raoult's Law: $\frac{P^o - P_s}{P^o} = \frac{n_2}{n_1 + n_2}$.
Here,$P^o = x \ kPa$ and $P_s$ is the vapour pressure of the solution.
For a $1 \ m$ solution,there is $1 \ mol$ of solute in $1000 \ g$ of water.
Moles of water $(n_1)$ = $\frac{1000 \ g}{18 \ g/mol} = 55.55 \ mol$.
Moles of solute $(n_2)$ = $1 \ mol$.
Substituting these values: $\frac{x - P_s}{x} = \frac{1}{55.55 + 1} = \frac{1}{56.55} \approx 0.01768$.
$1 - \frac{P_s}{x} = 0.01768$.
$\frac{P_s}{x} = 1 - 0.01768 = 0.98232$.
$P_s \approx 0.982 x \ kPa$.

The following graph is obtained for an ideal solution containing a non-volatile solute. The $x$- and $y$-axes represent,respectively:
Question diagram
A
mole fraction of solute,vapour pressure of solution.
B
mole fraction of solvent,vapour pressure of solution.
C
mole fraction of solute,vapour pressure of solvent.
D
concentration of solution,vapour pressure of solution.

Solution

(B) According to Raoult's Law for a solution containing a non-volatile solute,the vapour pressure of the solution $(P_{sol})$ is directly proportional to the mole fraction of the solvent $(x_{solvent})$:
$P_{sol} = P^0_{solvent} \times x_{solvent}$
Since $x_{solvent} + x_{solute} = 1$,we can write:
$P_{sol} = P^0_{solvent} \times (1 - x_{solute}) = P^0_{solvent} - P^0_{solvent} \times x_{solute}$
This represents a linear equation $y = mx + c$ where the slope is negative.
However,if the graph shows a direct linear increase starting from the origin,it represents the relationship between the vapour pressure of the solution and the mole fraction of the solvent $(P_{sol} \propto x_{solvent})$.
Thus,the $x$-axis represents the mole fraction of the solvent and the $y$-axis represents the vapour pressure of the solution.

$A$ solution containing $7.5 \ g$ of urea (molar mass $= 60 \ g \ mol^{-1}$) in $1 \ kg$ of water freezes at the same temperature as another solution containing $15 \ g$ of solute $X$,in the same amount of water. The molar mass of $X \ (g \ mol^{-1})$ is
A
$60$
B
$180$
C
$120$
D
$240$

Solution

(C) The depression in freezing point is given by $\Delta T_f = K_f \times m$,where $m$ is the molality of the solution.
Since both solutions have the same freezing point and the same amount of solvent ($1 \ kg$ of water),their molalities must be equal.
Molality $m = \frac{\text{moles of solute}}{\text{mass of solvent in kg}}$.
For urea: $\text{moles} = \frac{7.5 \ g}{60 \ g \ mol^{-1}} = 0.125 \ mol$.
For solute $X$: $\text{moles} = \frac{15 \ g}{M_X}$,where $M_X$ is the molar mass of $X$.
Equating the moles (since solvent mass is the same): $0.125 = \frac{15}{M_X}$.
$M_X = \frac{15}{0.125} = 120 \ g \ mol^{-1}$.

A
$0.37$
B
$3.7$
C
$0.037$
D
$0.73$

Solution

(A) For a centimolar solution,the concentration $C = 0.01 \ M = 10^{-2} \ mol \ L^{-1}$.
Acetic acid $(CH_3COOH)$ dissociates as: $CH_3COOH \rightleftharpoons CH_3COO^- + H^+$.
The degree of dissociation $\alpha = 0.5$.
The van't Hoff factor $i = 1 + \alpha(n-1)$,where $n=2$.
$i = 1 + 0.5(2-1) = 1.5$.
The osmotic pressure $\pi = iCRT$.
Given $T = 27 + 273 = 300 \ K$ and $R = 0.083 \ L \ atm \ K^{-1} \ mol^{-1}$.
$\pi = 1.5 \times 0.01 \times 0.083 \times 300$.
$\pi = 1.5 \times 0.01 \times 24.9 = 1.5 \times 0.249 = 0.3735 \ atm$.
Rounding to the nearest option,the value is $0.37 \ atm$.

$1.95 \ g$ of non-volatile and non-electrolyte solute dissolved in $100 \ g$ of benzene lowered the freezing point of it by $0.64 \ K$. The molar mass of the solute (in $g \ mol^{-1}$) is: $(K_{f}(C_6H_6) = 5.12 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1})$
A
$240$
B
$156$
C
$165$
D
$265$

Solution

(B) The formula for freezing point depression is $\Delta T_{f} = K_{f} \times m$,where $m$ is the molality of the solution.
Molality $m = \frac{w_{solute} \times 1000}{M_{solute} \times w_{solvent(g)}}$.
Given: $\Delta T_{f} = 0.64 \ K$,$w_{solute} = 1.95 \ g$,$w_{solvent} = 100 \ g$,$K_{f} = 5.12 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$.
Substituting the values: $0.64 = 5.12 \times \frac{1.95 \times 1000}{M_{solute} \times 100}$.
$0.64 = 5.12 \times \frac{19.5}{M_{solute}}$.
$M_{solute} = \frac{5.12 \times 19.5}{0.64}$.
$M_{solute} = 8 \times 19.5 = 156 \ g \ mol^{-1}$.
