$A$ satellite is launched into a circular orbit of radius $R$ around the Earth,while a second satellite is launched into an orbit of radius $1.02 R$. The percentage difference in the time periods of the two satellites is ......... $\%$
A
$0.7$
B
$1$
C
$1.5$
D
$3$

Solution

(D) According to Kepler's Third Law of Planetary Motion,the square of the time period $T$ is proportional to the cube of the orbital radius $R$,i.e.,$T^2 \propto R^3$ or $T \propto R^{3/2}$.
Taking the logarithmic derivative,we get $\frac{dT}{T} = \frac{3}{2} \frac{dR}{R}$.
The percentage change in radius is $\frac{dR}{R} \times 100 = \frac{1.02R - R}{R} \times 100 = 0.02 \times 100 = 2\%$.
Therefore,the percentage change in the time period is $\frac{dT}{T} \times 100 = \frac{3}{2} \times (\frac{dR}{R} \times 100) = \frac{3}{2} \times 2\% = 3\%$.
Thus,the percentage difference in the time periods is $3\%$.

The rate of steady volume flow of water through a capillary tube of length $l$ and radius $r$ under a pressure difference of $P$ is $V$. This tube is connected with another tube of the same length but half the radius in series. Then the rate of steady volume flow through them is (The pressure difference across the combination is $P$).
A
$\frac{V}{16}$
B
$\frac{V}{17}$
C
$\frac{16V}{17}$
D
$\frac{17V}{16}$

Solution

(B) The rate of steady volume flow of a liquid through a capillary tube is given by Poiseuille's equation: $V = \frac{P}{R}$,where $R$ is the fluid resistance.
Fluid resistance is defined as $R = \frac{8\eta l}{\pi r^4}$.
For the first tube,$R = \frac{8\eta l}{\pi r^4}$.
For the second tube of same length $l$ but radius $r' = \frac{r}{2}$,the resistance $R'$ is:
$R' = \frac{8\eta l}{\pi (r/2)^4} = \frac{8\eta l}{\pi r^4} \times 16 = 16R$.
When connected in series,the total resistance $R_{eq} = R + R' = R + 16R = 17R$.
The new rate of flow $V_{new}$ under the same pressure difference $P$ is:
$V_{new} = \frac{P}{R_{eq}} = \frac{P}{17R}$.
Since $V = \frac{P}{R}$,we get $V_{new} = \frac{V}{17}$.

Three unequal resistors in parallel are equivalent to a resistance $1 \, \Omega$. If two of them are in the ratio $1 : 2$ and if no resistance value is fractional,the largest of the three resistances in $ohms$ is
A
$4$
B
$6$
C
$8$
D
$12$

Solution

(B) Let the three resistors be $x$,$2x$,and $R$. Since they are connected in parallel,their equivalent resistance is given by $\frac{1}{R_{eq}} = \frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{2x} + \frac{1}{R}$.
Given $R_{eq} = 1 \, \Omega$,we have $\frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{2x} + \frac{1}{R} = 1$.
Simplifying the expression: $\frac{3}{2x} + \frac{1}{R} = 1 \Rightarrow \frac{1}{R} = 1 - \frac{3}{2x} = \frac{2x - 3}{2x}$.
Thus,$R = \frac{2x}{2x - 3}$.
Since $R$ must be an integer (non-fractional),$2x - 3$ must be a divisor of $2x$.
We can rewrite $R = \frac{(2x - 3) + 3}{2x - 3} = 1 + \frac{3}{2x - 3}$.
For $R$ to be an integer,$2x - 3$ must be a factor of $3$. The factors of $3$ are $1$ and $3$.
Case $1$: $2x - 3 = 1 \Rightarrow 2x = 4 \Rightarrow x = 2$. Then $R = 1 + \frac{3}{1} = 4$. The resistors are $2, 4, 4$. (Rejected,as resistors must be unequal).
Case $2$: $2x - 3 = 3 \Rightarrow 2x = 6 \Rightarrow x = 3$. Then $R = 1 + \frac{3}{3} = 2$. The resistors are $3, 6, 2$.
Checking the values: $\frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{2+1+3}{6} = 1$. This satisfies the condition.
The resistances are $2 \, \Omega, 3 \, \Omega, 6 \, \Omega$. The largest resistance is $6 \, \Omega$.

Two resistances of $400 \ \Omega$ and $800 \ \Omega$ are connected in series with a $6 \ V$ battery of negligible internal resistance. $A$ voltmeter of resistance $10,000 \ \Omega$ is used to measure the potential difference across the $400 \ \Omega$ resistor. The error in the measurement of the potential difference in volts is approximately:
A
$0.01$
B
$0.02$
C
$0.03$
D
$0.05$

Solution

(D) Before connecting the voltmeter,the potential difference across the $400 \ \Omega$ resistance is calculated using the voltage divider rule:
$V_i = \frac{400}{400 + 800} \times 6 = \frac{400}{1200} \times 6 = 2 \ V$
After connecting the voltmeter,the $400 \ \Omega$ resistor and the $10,000 \ \Omega$ voltmeter are in parallel. The equivalent resistance $R_p$ between points $A$ and $B$ is:
$R_p = \frac{400 \times 10,000}{400 + 10,000} = \frac{4,000,000}{10,400} \approx 384.6 \ \Omega$
The potential difference measured by the voltmeter $(V_f)$ is the voltage across this parallel combination:
$V_f = \frac{R_p}{R_p + 800} \times 6 = \frac{384.6}{384.6 + 800} \times 6 = \frac{384.6}{1184.6} \times 6 \approx 1.948 \ V \approx 1.95 \ V$
The error in measurement is the difference between the ideal and measured values:
$\text{Error} = V_i - V_f = 2 - 1.95 = 0.05 \ V$.

The mass defect in a particular nuclear reaction is $0.3\, g$. The amount of energy liberated in kilowatt-hours $(kWh)$ is (Velocity of light = $3 \times 10^8\, m/s$)
A
$1.5 \times 10^6$
B
$2.5 \times 10^6$
C
$3 \times 10^6$
D
$7.5 \times 10^6$

Solution

(D) Given mass defect $\Delta m = 0.3\, g = 0.3 \times 10^{-3}\, kg$.
Velocity of light $c = 3 \times 10^8\, m/s$.
Using Einstein's mass-energy equivalence formula,$E = \Delta m c^2$.
$E = (0.3 \times 10^{-3}) \times (3 \times 10^8)^2$.
$E = 0.3 \times 10^{-3} \times 9 \times 10^{16} = 2.7 \times 10^{13}\, J$.
To convert Joules to kilowatt-hours $(kWh)$,we divide by $3.6 \times 10^6\, J/kWh$.
$E = \frac{2.7 \times 10^{13}}{3.6 \times 10^6} = 0.75 \times 10^7 = 7.5 \times 10^6\, kWh$.

The solution set of $(5 + 4\cos \theta )(2\cos \theta + 1) = 0$ in the interval $[0, 2\pi ]$ is
A
$\left\{ \frac{\pi }{3}, \frac{2\pi }{3} \right\}$
B
$\left\{ \frac{\pi }{3}, \pi \right\}$
C
$\left\{ \frac{2\pi }{3}, \frac{4\pi }{3} \right\}$
D
$\left\{ \frac{2\pi }{3}, \frac{5\pi }{3} \right\}$

Solution

(C) Given the equation: $(5 + 4\cos \theta )(2\cos \theta + 1) = 0$
Case $1$: $5 + 4\cos \theta = 0 \implies \cos \theta = -\frac{5}{4}$.
Since the range of $\cos \theta$ is $[-1, 1]$,this case has no real solution.
Case $2$: $2\cos \theta + 1 = 0 \implies \cos \theta = -\frac{1}{2}$.
In the interval $[0, 2\pi ]$,$\cos \theta = -\frac{1}{2}$ at $\theta = \pi - \frac{\pi}{3} = \frac{2\pi}{3}$ and $\theta = \pi + \frac{\pi}{3} = \frac{4\pi}{3}$.
Thus,the solution set is $\left\{ \frac{2\pi}{3}, \frac{4\pi}{3} \right\}$.

The point $P$ is equidistant from $A(1, 3)$,$B(-3, 5)$,and $C(5, -1)$. Then $PA =$
A
$5$
B
$5\sqrt{5}$
C
$25$
D
$5\sqrt{10}$

Solution

(D) Let the point $P$ be $(x, y)$. Since $P$ is equidistant from $A, B,$ and $C$,$P$ is the circumcenter of $\triangle ABC$.
$PA^2 = PB^2 = PC^2$.
$PA^2 = (x-1)^2 + (y-3)^2 = x^2 - 2x + 1 + y^2 - 6y + 9 = x^2 + y^2 - 2x - 6y + 10$.
$PB^2 = (x+3)^2 + (y-5)^2 = x^2 + 6x + 9 + y^2 - 10y + 25 = x^2 + y^2 + 6x - 10y + 34$.
$PC^2 = (x-5)^2 + (y+1)^2 = x^2 - 10x + 25 + y^2 + 2y + 1 = x^2 + y^2 - 10x + 2y + 26$.
Equating $PA^2 = PB^2$:
$-2x - 6y + 10 = 6x - 10y + 34$ $\Rightarrow 8x - 4y + 24 = 0$ $\Rightarrow 2x - y + 6 = 0$ .....$(i)$.
Equating $PA^2 = PC^2$:
$-2x - 6y + 10 = -10x + 2y + 26$ $\Rightarrow 8x - 8y - 16 = 0$ $\Rightarrow x - y - 2 = 0$ .....$(ii)$.
Subtracting $(ii)$ from $(i)$:
$(2x - y + 6) - (x - y - 2) = 0$ $\Rightarrow x + 8 = 0$ $\Rightarrow x = -8$.
Substituting $x = -8$ in $(ii)$:
$-8 - y - 2 = 0 \Rightarrow y = -10$.
Thus,$P = (-8, -10)$.
$PA = \sqrt{(-8 - 1)^2 + (-10 - 3)^2} = \sqrt{(-9)^2 + (-13)^2} = \sqrt{81 + 169} = \sqrt{250} = 5\sqrt{10}$.

If the pair of straight lines given by $Ax^2 + 2Hxy + By^2 = 0$ $(H^2 > AB)$ forms an equilateral triangle with the line $ax + by + c = 0$,then $(A + 3B)(3A + B)$ is equal to:
A
$H^2$
B
$-H^2$
C
$2H^2$
D
$4H^2$

Solution

(D) The pair of lines $Ax^2 + 2Hxy + By^2 = 0$ forms an equilateral triangle with the line $ax + by + c = 0$ if and only if the angle between the lines is $60^\circ$ and the lines are symmetric with respect to the line $ax + by + c = 0$.
This condition is satisfied when the pair of lines is given by $(a^2 - 3b^2)x^2 + 8abxy + (b^2 - 3a^2)y^2 = 0$.
Comparing this with $Ax^2 + 2Hxy + By^2 = 0$,we get:
$A = a^2 - 3b^2$,$B = b^2 - 3a^2$,and $2H = 8ab$.
Now,calculate $(A + 3B)(3A + B)$:
$A + 3B = (a^2 - 3b^2) + 3(b^2 - 3a^2) = a^2 - 3b^2 + 3b^2 - 9a^2 = -8a^2$.
$3A + B = 3(a^2 - 3b^2) + (b^2 - 3a^2) = 3a^2 - 9b^2 + b^2 - 3a^2 = -8b^2$.
Therefore,$(A + 3B)(3A + B) = (-8a^2)(-8b^2) = 64a^2b^2$.
Since $2H = 8ab$,we have $H = 4ab$,so $H^2 = 16a^2b^2$.
Thus,$64a^2b^2 = 4(16a^2b^2) = 4H^2$.

$A$ bag $X$ contains $2$ white and $3$ black balls and another bag $Y$ contains $4$ white and $2$ black balls. One bag is selected at random and a ball is drawn from it. Then the probability for the ball chosen to be white is
A
$\frac{2}{15}$
B
$\frac{7}{15}$
C
$\frac{8}{15}$
D
$\frac{14}{15}$

Solution

(C) Let $A$ be the event of selecting bag $X$,$B$ be the event of selecting bag $Y$,and $E$ be the event of drawing a white ball.
Since one bag is selected at random,$P(A) = \frac{1}{2}$ and $P(B) = \frac{1}{2}$.
The probability of drawing a white ball from bag $X$ is $P(E|A) = \frac{2}{2+3} = \frac{2}{5}$.
The probability of drawing a white ball from bag $Y$ is $P(E|B) = \frac{4}{4+2} = \frac{4}{6} = \frac{2}{3}$.
Using the law of total probability,$P(E) = P(A)P(E|A) + P(B)P(E|B)$.
$P(E) = \left(\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{2}{5}\right) + \left(\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{2}{3}\right) = \frac{1}{5} + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{3+5}{15} = \frac{8}{15}$.

$A$ circular disc of radius $R$ and thickness $\frac{R}{6}$ has moment of inertia $I$ about an axis passing through its centre and perpendicular to its plane. It is melted and recasted into a solid sphere. The moment of inertia of the sphere about its diameter as axis of rotation is
A
$I$
B
$\frac{2I}{8}$
C
$\frac{I}{5}$
D
$\frac{I}{10}$

Solution

(C) The volume of the disc is $V = \pi R^2 t = \pi R^2 (\frac{R}{6}) = \frac{\pi R^3}{6}$.
Let the radius of the sphere be $r$. The volume of the sphere is $V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3$.
Since the volume remains constant,$\frac{\pi R^3}{6} = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3$,which gives $r^3 = \frac{R^3}{8}$,so $r = \frac{R}{2}$.
The moment of inertia of the disc is $I = \frac{1}{2} M R^2$.
The moment of inertia of the sphere is $I' = \frac{2}{5} M r^2$.
Substituting $r = \frac{R}{2}$,we get $I' = \frac{2}{5} M (\frac{R}{2})^2 = \frac{2}{5} M \frac{R^2}{4} = \frac{1}{10} M R^2$.
Comparing with $I = \frac{1}{2} M R^2$,we have $M R^2 = 2I$.
Therefore,$I' = \frac{1}{10} (2I) = \frac{I}{5}$.

The moment of inertia of a meter scale of mass $0.6\, kg$ about an axis perpendicular to the scale and located at the $20\, cm$ position on the scale in $kg\, m^2$ is (Breadth of the scale is negligible).
A
$0.074$
B
$0.104$
C
$0.148$
D
$0.208$

Solution

(B) The mass of the meter scale is $M = 0.6\, kg$ and its length is $L = 1\, m$.
The center of mass of the scale is at the $50\, cm$ mark.
The axis of rotation is at the $20\, cm$ mark.
The distance $r$ between the center of mass and the axis of rotation is $r = |50\, cm - 20\, cm| = 30\, cm = 0.3\, m$.
Using the parallel axis theorem,$I = I_{CM} + Mr^2$,where $I_{CM} = \frac{ML^2}{12}$.
Substituting the values: $I = \frac{0.6 \times (1)^2}{12} + 0.6 \times (0.3)^2$.
$I = 0.05 + 0.6 \times 0.09$.
$I = 0.05 + 0.054 = 0.104\, kg\, m^2$.

The coordinate axes are rotated through an angle of $135^o$. If the coordinates of a point $P$ in the new system are $(4, -3)$,then the coordinates of $P$ in the original system are:
A
$\left( \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}, \frac{7}{\sqrt{2}} \right)$
B
$\left( \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}, \frac{-7}{\sqrt{2}} \right)$
C
$\left( \frac{-1}{\sqrt{2}}, \frac{-7}{\sqrt{2}} \right)$
D
$\left( \frac{-1}{\sqrt{2}}, \frac{7}{\sqrt{2}} \right)$

Solution

(D) Let the original coordinates be $(x, y)$ and the new coordinates be $(x', y')$.
Given $\theta = 135^o$,$x' = 4$,and $y' = -3$.
The transformation formulas are:
$x = x' \cos \theta - y' \sin \theta$
$y = x' \sin \theta + y' \cos \theta$
Substituting the values:
$x = 4 \cos(135^o) - (-3) \sin(135^o) = 4 \left( -\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \right) + 3 \left( \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \right) = -\frac{4}{\sqrt{2}} + \frac{3}{\sqrt{2}} = -\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$
$y = 4 \sin(135^o) + (-3) \cos(135^o) = 4 \left( \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \right) - 3 \left( -\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \right) = \frac{4}{\sqrt{2}} + \frac{3}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{7}{\sqrt{2}}$
Thus,the original coordinates are $\left( -\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}, \frac{7}{\sqrt{2}} \right)$.

$A$ circular disc of radius $R$ and thickness $\frac{R}{6}$ has a moment of inertia $I$ about an axis passing through its center and perpendicular to its plane. It is melted and recast into a solid sphere. The moment of inertia of this sphere about its diameter is:
A
$I$
B
$\frac{2I}{8}$
C
$\frac{I}{5}$
D
$\frac{I}{10}$

Solution

(C) The mass of the disc and the sphere remains the same because the disc is melted and recast into a sphere.
Volume of disc = Volume of sphere
$\pi R^2 t = \frac{4}{3} \pi R_s^3$
Given $t = \frac{R}{6}$,so $\pi R^2 (\frac{R}{6}) = \frac{4}{3} \pi R_s^3$
$\frac{R^3}{6} = \frac{4}{3} R_s^3 \implies R_s^3 = \frac{R^3}{8} \implies R_s = \frac{R}{2}$
The moment of inertia of the disc is $I = \frac{1}{2} M R^2$,so $M R^2 = 2I$.
The moment of inertia of the sphere about its diameter is $I_s = \frac{2}{5} M R_s^2$.
Substituting $R_s = \frac{R}{2}$,we get $I_s = \frac{2}{5} M (\frac{R}{2})^2 = \frac{2}{5} M \frac{R^2}{4} = \frac{M R^2}{10}$.
Since $M R^2 = 2I$,then $I_s = \frac{2I}{10} = \frac{I}{5}$.

Two resistances of $400\,\Omega$ and $800\,\Omega$ are connected in series with a $6\,V$ battery of negligible internal resistance. $A$ voltmeter of resistance $10,000\,\Omega$ is used to measure the potential difference across the $400\,\Omega$ resistor. The error in the measurement of potential difference (in volts) is approximately:
A
$0.01$
B
$0.02$
C
$0.04$
D
$0.05$

Solution

(D) The actual voltage drop across the $400\,\Omega$ resistor without the voltmeter is calculated using the voltage divider rule:
$V_{actual} = V \times \frac{R_1}{R_1 + R_2} = 6 \times \frac{400}{400 + 800} = 6 \times \frac{400}{1200} = 6 \times \frac{1}{3} = 2\,V$.
When a voltmeter of resistance $R_v = 10,000\,\Omega$ is connected in parallel with the $400\,\Omega$ resistor,the equivalent resistance $R_p$ of this parallel combination is:
$R_p = \frac{400 \times 10,000}{400 + 10,000} = \frac{4,000,000}{10,400} = \frac{10,000}{26} \approx 384.62\,\Omega$.
The new total resistance of the circuit is $R_{total} = R_p + 800 = 384.62 + 800 = 1184.62\,\Omega$.
The current in the circuit is $I = \frac{V}{R_{total}} = \frac{6}{1184.62} \approx 0.005065\,A$.
The measured voltage $V_{measured}$ is the voltage drop across $R_p$:
$V_{measured} = I \times R_p = 0.005065 \times 384.62 \approx 1.9487\,V$.
The error in measurement is $\Delta V = V_{actual} - V_{measured} = 2 - 1.9487 = 0.0513\,V$.
Rounding to the nearest option,the error is approximately $0.05\,V$.

$A$ parallel plate capacitor of capacity $C_0$ is charged to a potential $V_0$. $(i)$ The energy stored in the capacitor when the battery is disconnected and the plate separation is doubled is $E_1$. (ii) The energy stored in the capacitor when the charging battery is kept connected and the separation between the capacitor plates is doubled is $E_2$. Then,the value of $E_1 / E_2$ is:
A
$4$
B
$3 / 2$
C
$2$
D
$1 / 2$

Solution

(A) The capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is given by $C_0 = \frac{\varepsilon_0 A}{d}$,where $A$ is the area and $d$ is the separation.
Initially,the charge stored is $Q = C_0 V_0$.
Case $(i)$: Battery is disconnected. The charge $Q$ remains constant. When the separation is doubled,the new capacitance becomes $C' = \frac{C_0}{2}$. The energy stored is $E_1 = \frac{Q^2}{2C'} = \frac{(C_0 V_0)^2}{2(C_0 / 2)} = C_0 V_0^2$.
Case (ii): Battery remains connected. The potential $V_0$ remains constant. When the separation is doubled,the new capacitance becomes $C' = \frac{C_0}{2}$. The energy stored is $E_2 = \frac{1}{2} C' V_0^2 = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{C_0}{2}) V_0^2 = \frac{1}{4} C_0 V_0^2$.
Therefore,the ratio is $\frac{E_1}{E_2} = \frac{C_0 V_0^2}{\frac{1}{4} C_0 V_0^2} = 4$.

When salicylic acid reacts with acetic anhydride in the presence of a small amount of concentrated $H_2SO_4$ (as a catalyst),the phenolic $-OH$ group is acetylated to form an ester group $(-OCOCH_3)$. The reaction is as follows:
Salicylic acid + $(CH_3CO)_2O \xrightarrow{conc. H_2SO_4} \text{Aspirin} + CH_3COOH$.
Thus,the correct compound is salicylic acid,which corresponds to option $B$.

A
$5 \hat{i} - 25 \hat{j}$

C
$5 \hat{i} + \frac{25}{7} \hat{j}$
D
$25 \hat{j} - \frac{5}{7} \hat{j}$

Solution

(C) Given masses are $m_1 = 200 \text{ g}$ and $m_2 = 500 \text{ g}$.
Velocities are $v_1 = 10 \hat{i} \text{ m/s}$ and $v_2 = (3 \hat{i} + 5 \hat{j}) \text{ m/s}$.
The velocity of the centre of mass $(v_{CM})$ is given by the formula:
$v_{CM} = \frac{m_1 v_1 + m_2 v_2}{m_1 + m_2}$
Substituting the values:
$v_{CM} = \frac{200(10 \hat{i}) + 500(3 \hat{i} + 5 \hat{j})}{200 + 500}$
$v_{CM} = \frac{2000 \hat{i} + 1500 \hat{i} + 2500 \hat{j}}{700}$
$v_{CM} = \frac{3500 \hat{i} + 2500 \hat{j}}{700}$
$v_{CM} = 5 \hat{i} + \frac{25}{7} \hat{j} \text{ m/s}$.

A
$3, 3$
B
$4, 2$
C
$2, 4$
D

In the structure of $SO_3$,the sulphur atom is double-bonded to three oxygen atoms.
Each $S=O$ bond consists of one $\sigma$-bond and one $\pi$-bond.
Therefore,there are $3$ $\sigma$-bonds and $3$ $\pi$-bonds in $SO_3$.

Chlorine atom,in its third excited state,reacts with fluorine to form a compound $X$. The formula and shape of $X$ are :
A
$ClF_5$,pentagonal
B
$ClF_4$,tetrahedral
C
$ClF_4$,pentagonal bipyramidal
D
$ClF_7$,pentagonal bipyramidal

Solution

(D) The ground state electronic configuration of $Cl$ $(Z=17)$ is $[Ne] 3s^2 3p_x^2 3p_y^2 3p_z^1$.
In the first excited state,one electron from $3p$ moves to $3d$.
In the second excited state,one electron from $3p$ moves to $3d$.
In the third excited state,one electron from $3s$ moves to $3d$,resulting in $7$ unpaired electrons $(3s^1, 3p_x^1, 3p_y^1, 3p_z^1, 3d^1, 3d^1, 3d^1)$.
Thus,$Cl$ can form $7$ bonds with $F$ to form $ClF_7$.
The hybridization is $sp^3d^3$,which corresponds to a pentagonal bipyramidal geometry.

A
$sp^2$
B
$sp^3$
C
$sp$
D
$dsp^2$

Solution

$SO_3 + D_2O \longrightarrow D_2SO_4 (X)$
In $D_2SO_4$,the central sulphur atom is bonded to two $OD$ groups and two oxygen atoms via double bonds.
The steric number of sulphur is $4$ (two single bonds and two double bonds,where double bonds count as one electron domain for hybridisation).
Therefore,the hybridisation state of $S$ in $D_2SO_4$ is $sp^3$.

Which one of the following is a correct set?
A
$H_2O, sp^3$,angular
B
$H_2O, sp^2$,linear
C
$NH_4^+, dsp^2$,square planar
D
$CH_4, dsp^2$,tetrahedral

Solution

(A) In $H_2O$,the central oxygen atom is bonded to two hydrogen atoms and has two lone pairs of electrons.
According to $VSEPR$ theory,the steric number is $4$ ($2$ bond pairs + $2$ lone pairs),which corresponds to $sp^3$ hybridization.
Due to the presence of two lone pairs,the geometry is distorted,resulting in an angular (or bent) shape.

If the bond length and dipole moment of a diatomic molecule are $1.25 \ \mathring{A}$ and $1.0 \ D$ respectively,what is the per cent ionic character of the bond?
A
$10.66$
B
$12.33$
C
$16.66$
D
$19.33$

Solution

(C) The experimental dipole moment $\mu_{exp} = 1.0 \ D = 1.0 \times 10^{-18} \ esu \ cm$.
The theoretical dipole moment $\mu_{theo} = q \times d$,where $q = 4.8 \times 10^{-10} \ esu$ (charge of an electron) and $d = 1.25 \ \mathring{A} = 1.25 \times 10^{-8} \ cm$.
$\mu_{theo} = 1.25 \times 10^{-8} \ cm \times 4.8 \times 10^{-10} \ esu = 6.0 \times 10^{-18} \ esu \ cm = 6.0 \ D$.
The per cent ionic character is given by $\frac{\mu_{exp}}{\mu_{theo}} \times 100$.
$\text{Per cent ionic character} = \frac{1.0}{6.0} \times 100 = 16.66 \%$.

Consider the following reaction equilibrium:
$N_{2(g)} + 3H_{2(g)} \rightleftharpoons 2NH_{3(g)}$
Initially,$1 \text{ mole}$ of $N_2$ and $3 \text{ moles}$ of $H_2$ are taken in a $2 \text{ L}$ flask. At equilibrium state,if the number of moles of $N_2$ is $0.6$,what is the total number of moles of all gases present in the flask?
A
$0.8$
B
$1.6$
C
$3.2$
D
$6.4$

Solution

(C) The reaction is $N_{2(g)} + 3H_{2(g)} \rightleftharpoons 2NH_{3(g)}$.
Let the initial moles be $n(N_2) = 1$,$n(H_2) = 3$,and $n(NH_3) = 0$.
At equilibrium,let $x$ be the extent of reaction:
$n(N_2) = 1 - x$
$n(H_2) = 3 - 3x$
$n(NH_3) = 2x$
Given that at equilibrium,$n(N_2) = 0.6$.
So,$1 - x = 0.6 \implies x = 0.4$.
Now,calculate the moles of each component at equilibrium:
$n(N_2) = 0.6 \text{ mol}$
$n(H_2) = 3 - 3(0.4) = 3 - 1.2 = 1.8 \text{ mol}$
$n(NH_3) = 2(0.4) = 0.8 \text{ mol}$
The total number of moles at equilibrium is the sum of the moles of all gases:
$\text{Total moles} = n(N_2) + n(H_2) + n(NH_3) = 0.6 + 1.8 + 0.8 = 3.2 \text{ mol}$.

Which one of the following equations is correct for the reaction $N_{2(g)} + 3H_{2(g)} \longrightarrow 2NH_{3(g)}$?
A
$3 \frac{d[NH_3]}{dt} = 2 \frac{d[H_2]}{dt}$
B
$3 \frac{d[NH_3]}{dt} = 3 \frac{d[H_2]}{dt}$
C
$2 \frac{d[NH_3]}{dt} = -3 \frac{d[H_2]}{dt}$
D
$3 \frac{d[NH_3]}{dt} = -2 \frac{d[H_2]}{dt}$

Solution

(D) For the reaction $N_{2(g)} + 3H_{2(g)} \longrightarrow 2NH_{3(g)}$,the rate of reaction is given by the expression:
Rate $= -\frac{d[N_2]}{dt} = -\frac{1}{3} \frac{d[H_2]}{dt} = \frac{1}{2} \frac{d[NH_3]}{dt}$.
Equating the terms for $NH_3$ and $H_2$:
$-\frac{1}{3} \frac{d[H_2]}{dt} = \frac{1}{2} \frac{d[NH_3]}{dt}$.
Multiplying both sides by $6$,we get:
$-2 \frac{d[H_2]}{dt} = 3 \frac{d[NH_3]}{dt}$.
Rearranging gives $3 \frac{d[NH_3]}{dt} = -2 \frac{d[H_2]}{dt}$.

Which one of the following is correct about the stability of the given ions?
A
$Pb^{2+} > Pb^{4+}$
B
$Pb^{4+} > Pb^{2+}$
C
$Si^{2+} > Si^{4+}$
D
$Sn^{4+} > Sn^{2+}$

Solution

(A) The stability of oxidation states in Group $14$ elements is governed by the inert pair effect.
As we move down the group from $C$ to $Pb$,the stability of the $+4$ oxidation state decreases,while the stability of the $+2$ oxidation state increases due to the poor shielding effect of $d$ and $f$ orbitals.
For $Pb$ (Lead),the $+2$ oxidation state is more stable than the $+4$ oxidation state.
Therefore,the correct order is $Pb^{2+} > Pb^{4+}$.

A
$9$
B
$6$
C
$3$
D
$1.5$

Solution

(C) Resistance of galvanometer,$G = 50 \Omega$.
Full-scale current,$i_g = 0.05 \text{ A}$.
Area of cross-section,$A = 2.97 \times 10^{-2} \text{ cm}^2 = 2.97 \times 10^{-6} \text{ m}^2$.
Maximum current to be measured,$i = 5 \text{ A}$.
Specific resistance,$\rho = 5 \times 10^{-7} \Omega\text{-m}$.
The shunt resistance $S$ required to convert the galvanometer into an ammeter is given by $S = \frac{i_g G}{i - i_g}$.
$S = \frac{0.05 \times 50}{5 - 0.05} = \frac{2.5}{4.95} = \frac{250}{495} = \frac{50}{99} \Omega$.
Since $S = \rho \frac{l}{A}$,we have $l = \frac{S \cdot A}{\rho}$.
$l = \frac{50}{99} \times \frac{2.97 \times 10^{-6}}{5 \times 10^{-7}} = \frac{50}{99} \times \frac{29.7}{5} = 10 \times 0.3 = 3 \text{ m}$.

Ferrous ion changes to $X$ ion upon reacting with acidified hydrogen peroxide. The number of $d$-electrons present in $X$ and its magnetic moment (in $BM$) are,respectively:
A
$6$ and $6.93$
B
$5$ and $5.92$
C
$5$ and $4.9$
D
$4$ and $5.92$

Solution

(B) Ferrous ion $(Fe^{2+})$ is oxidized to ferric ion $(Fe^{3+})$ by acidified hydrogen peroxide $(H_2O_2)$.
Here,$X$ is the $Fe^{3+}$ ion.
The electronic configuration of $Fe^{3+}$ is $[Ar] 3d^5$.
Thus,the number of $d$-electrons is $5$.
The magnetic moment $(\mu)$ is calculated using the formula $\mu = \sqrt{n(n+2)} \ BM$,where $n$ is the number of unpaired electrons.
For $Fe^{3+}$,$n = 5$.
$\mu = \sqrt{5(5+2)} = \sqrt{35} \approx 5.92 \ BM$.

When radiation of the wavelength $\lambda$ is incident on a metallic surface,the stopping potential is $4.8 \ V$. If the same surface is illuminated with radiation of double the wavelength,then the stopping potential becomes $1.6 \ V$. Then,the threshold wavelength for the surface is:
A
$2 \lambda$
B
$4 \lambda$
C
$6 \lambda$
D
$8 \lambda$

Solution

(B) The Einstein's photoelectric equation is given by $eV_0 = \frac{hc}{\lambda} - \phi$,where $\phi = \frac{hc}{\lambda_0}$ is the work function and $\lambda_0$ is the threshold wavelength.
Thus,$V_0 = \frac{hc}{e} \left( \frac{1}{\lambda} - \frac{1}{\lambda_0} \right)$.
For the first case: $4.8 = \frac{hc}{e} \left( \frac{1}{\lambda} - \frac{1}{\lambda_0} \right) \quad \dots (i)$
For the second case: $1.6 = \frac{hc}{e} \left( \frac{1}{2\lambda} - \frac{1}{\lambda_0} \right) \quad \dots (ii)$
Dividing equation $(i)$ by $(ii)$:
$\frac{4.8}{1.6} = \frac{\frac{1}{\lambda} - \frac{1}{\lambda_0}}{\frac{1}{2\lambda} - \frac{1}{\lambda_0}}$
$3 = \frac{\frac{1}{\lambda} - \frac{1}{\lambda_0}}{\frac{1}{2\lambda} - \frac{1}{\lambda_0}}$
$3 \left( \frac{1}{2\lambda} - \frac{1}{\lambda_0} \right) = \frac{1}{\lambda} - \frac{1}{\lambda_0}$
$\frac{3}{2\lambda} - \frac{3}{\lambda_0} = \frac{1}{\lambda} - \frac{1}{\lambda_0}$
$\frac{3}{2\lambda} - \frac{1}{\lambda} = \frac{3}{\lambda_0} - \frac{1}{\lambda_0}$
$\frac{1}{2\lambda} = \frac{2}{\lambda_0}$
$\lambda_0 = 4\lambda$.

Consider the two following statements $A$ and $B$,and identify the correct choice given in the answers :
$(A)$ In photovoltaic cells the photoelectric current produced is not proportional to the intensity of incident light.
$(B)$ In gas-filled photoemissive cells,the velocity of photoelectrons depends on the wavelength of the incident radiation.
A
both $A$ and $B$ are true
B
both $A$ and $B$ are false
C
$A$ is true but $B$ is false
D
$A$ is false but $B$ is true

Solution

(D) In photovoltaic cells,the photoelectric current produced is directly proportional to the intensity of the incident light. Therefore,statement $A$ is false.
According to Einstein's photoelectric equation,the maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons is given by $K_{max} = h\nu - \Phi$,where $\nu$ is the frequency of incident radiation. Since frequency $\nu = c/\lambda$,the kinetic energy and consequently the velocity of photoelectrons depend on the wavelength $\lambda$ of the incident radiation. Therefore,statement $B$ is true.

A
$10 \ \text{ampere}$
B
$20 \ \text{ampere}$
C
$30 \ \text{ampere}$
D
$40 \ \text{ampere}$

Solution

(A) The reaction for the deposition of aluminium is: $Al^{3+} + 3e^- \rightarrow Al(s)$.
According to Faraday's law of electrolysis,the mass deposited $w = \frac{M \times i \times t}{n \times F}$,where $M$ is the molar mass $(27 \ g/mol)$,$n$ is the number of electrons $(3)$,$i$ is the current in amperes,$t$ is the time in seconds $(96.5 \ s)$,and $F$ is Faraday's constant $(96500 \ C/mol)$.
Substituting the values: $0.09 = \frac{27 \times i \times 96.5}{3 \times 96500}$.
$0.09 = \frac{9 \times i \times 96.5}{96500}$.
$0.09 = \frac{9 \times i}{1000}$.
$i = \frac{0.09 \times 1000}{9} = 10 \ \text{ampere}$.
Therefore,the value of $X$ is $10$.

In this setup, if the consecutive charges have opposite signs, then the electric field in $\text{N/C}$ at $x=0$ is: $\left(\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0}=9 \times 10^9 \text{ N} \cdot \text{m}^2/\text{C}^2\right)$

B
$24 \times 10^4$
C
$36 \times 10^4$

Solution

(C) The electric field intensity $E$ due to a point charge $Q$ at a distance $r$ is given by $E = \frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0} \cdot \frac{Q}{r^2}$.
Since the charges are placed at $x = 1, 2, 4, 8, \dots \text{ cm}$ and have alternating signs, the net electric field at the origin $(x=0)$ is the vector sum of the fields produced by each charge.
Let $Q = 5 \times 10^{-9} \text{ C}$. The distances are $r_n = 2^{n-1} \times 10^{-2} \text{ m}$ for $n = 1, 2, 3, \dots$.
The field at $x=0$ is directed towards the negative $X$-axis for positive charges and positive $X$-axis for negative charges. Summing the magnitudes with appropriate signs:
$E = \frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0} \left[ \frac{Q}{(1 \times 10^{-2})^2} - \frac{Q}{(2 \times 10^{-2})^2} + \frac{Q}{(4 \times 10^{-2})^2} - \frac{Q}{(8 \times 10^{-2})^2} + \dots \right]$
$E = \frac{Q}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0 \times 10^{-4}} \left[ \frac{1}{1^2} - \frac{1}{2^2} + \frac{1}{4^2} - \frac{1}{8^2} + \dots \right]$
$E = (9 \times 10^9) \times (5 \times 10^{-9}) \times 10^4 \left[ 1 - \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{16} - \frac{1}{64} + \dots \right]$
The term in the bracket is an infinite geometric series with first term $a = 1$ and common ratio $r = -1/4$.
The sum $S = \frac{a}{1-r} = \frac{1}{1 - (-1/4)} = \frac{1}{5/4} = \frac{4}{5}$.

By analyzing the structure:
- Tertiary $(3^{\circ})$ carbon atoms: The carbon atoms at positions $2$ and $3$ are bonded to three other carbon atoms. So,the number of tertiary carbon atoms $= 2$.
- Secondary $(2^{\circ})$ carbon atoms: The carbon atoms at positions $4$ and $5$ are bonded to two other carbon atoms. So,the number of secondary carbon atoms $= 2$.
- Primary $(1^{\circ})$ carbon atoms: The carbon atoms at positions $1$,$6$,and the two methyl groups attached to positions $2$ and $3$ are bonded to only one other carbon atom. So,the number of primary carbon atoms $= 4$.

A
$\frac{dA}{dt} \propto \omega r$
B
$\frac{dA}{dt} \propto \omega^2 r$
C
$\frac{dA}{dt} \propto \omega r^2$
D
$\frac{dA}{dt} \propto \sqrt{\omega r}$

Solution

(C) The areal velocity $\frac{dA}{dt}$ is defined as the rate at which the area is swept by the position vector of the planet.
Given that $\frac{dA}{dt}$ depends on angular velocity $\omega$ and distance $r$,we can write: $\frac{dA}{dt} = K \omega^a r^b$.
The dimensional formula for areal velocity $\frac{dA}{dt}$ is $[L^2 T^{-1}]$.
The dimensional formula for angular velocity $\omega$ is $[T^{-1}]$ and for distance $r$ is $[L]$.
Substituting these into the equation: $[L^2 T^{-1}] = [T^{-1}]^a [L]^b$.
Comparing the exponents of $L$ and $T$ on both sides:
For $T$: $-a = -1 \Rightarrow a = 1$.
For $L$: $b = 2$.
Therefore,the relation is $\frac{dA}{dt} \propto \omega r^2$.

If the ionic product of water $(K_w)$ is $1.96 \times 10^{-14}$ at $35^{\circ} C$,what is its value at $10^{\circ} C$?
A
$1.96 \times 10^{-14}$
B
$3.92 \times 10^{-14}$
C
$2.95 \times 10^{-15}$
D
$1.96 \times 10^{-13}$

Solution

(C) The auto-ionization of water $(H_2O \rightleftharpoons H^{+} + OH^{-})$ is an endothermic process $(\Delta H > 0)$.
According to Le Chatelier's principle,an increase in temperature shifts the equilibrium to the right,increasing the value of the ionic product $(K_w)$.
Conversely,a decrease in temperature shifts the equilibrium to the left,decreasing the value of $K_w$.
Since $10^{\circ} C < 35^{\circ} C$,the value of $K_w$ at $10^{\circ} C$ must be less than $1.96 \times 10^{-14}$.
Among the given options,only $2.95 \times 10^{-15}$ is less than $1.96 \times 10^{-14}$.

Two identical blocks $A$ and $B$,each of mass $m$,resting on a smooth floor,are connected by a light spring of natural length $L$ and spring constant $k$. $A$ third identical block $C$ (mass $m$) moving with a speed $v$ along the line joining $A$ and $B$ collides with $A$. The maximum compression in the spring is proportional to:
A
$v \sqrt{\frac{m}{2 k}}$
B
$m \sqrt{\frac{v}{2 k}}$
C
$\sqrt{\frac{m v}{k}}$
D
$\frac{m v}{2 k}$

Solution

(A) Let the collision between $C$ and $A$ be perfectly inelastic. By conservation of linear momentum,the velocity of the combined system $(C+A)$ immediately after collision is $v' = \frac{mv}{m+m} = \frac{v}{2}$.
At the state of maximum compression $x$,the blocks $A$,$B$,and $C$ move with a common velocity $V$. By conservation of linear momentum,$mv = (m+m+m)V$,so $V = \frac{v}{3}$.
By conservation of mechanical energy,the initial kinetic energy of the system $(C+A)$ equals the sum of the final kinetic energy and the potential energy stored in the spring:
$\frac{1}{2}(2m)v'^2 = \frac{1}{2}(3m)V^2 + \frac{1}{2}kx^2$
$m(\frac{v}{2})^2 = \frac{3}{2}m(\frac{v}{3})^2 + \frac{1}{2}kx^2$
$\frac{mv^2}{4} = \frac{mv^2}{6} + \frac{1}{2}kx^2$
$\frac{1}{2}kx^2 = \frac{mv^2}{4} - \frac{mv^2}{6} = \frac{mv^2}{12}$
$x^2 = \frac{mv^2}{6k} \implies x = v \sqrt{\frac{m}{6k}}$.
Since the question asks for proportionality,we look at the reduced mass system. The effective mass for the oscillation of $A$ and $B$ is $\mu = \frac{m \cdot m}{m+m} = \frac{m}{2}$. The maximum compression is proportional to $v \sqrt{\frac{\mu}{k}} = v \sqrt{\frac{m}{2k}}$.

$A$ long straight wire carrying a current of $30 ~A$ is placed in an external uniform magnetic field of induction $4 \times 10^{-4} ~T$. The magnetic field is acting parallel to the direction of current. The magnitude of the resultant magnetic induction in tesla at a point $2.0 ~cm$ away from the wire is
$\left(\mu_0=4 \pi \times 10^{-7} ~H/m\right)$
A
$10^{-4}$
B
$3 \times 10^{-4}$
C
$5 \times 10^{-4}$
D
$6 \times 10^{-4}$

Solution

(C) Given: Current $i = 30 ~A$,External magnetic field $B_1 = 4 \times 10^{-4} ~T$,Distance $r = 2.0 ~cm = 2 \times 10^{-2} ~m$.
The magnetic field produced by the straight wire at a distance $r$ is given by $B_2 = \frac{\mu_0 i}{2 \pi r}$.
Substituting the values: $B_2 = \frac{2 \times 10^{-7} \times 30}{2 \times 10^{-2}} = 3 \times 10^{-4} ~T$.
Since the external magnetic field $B_1$ is parallel to the current,it is perpendicular to the magnetic field $B_2$ produced by the wire (which circles the wire).
The resultant magnetic field $B$ is given by $B = \sqrt{B_1^2 + B_2^2}$.
$B = \sqrt{(4 \times 10^{-4})^2 + (3 \times 10^{-4})^2} = \sqrt{16 \times 10^{-8} + 9 \times 10^{-8}} = \sqrt{25 \times 10^{-8}} = 5 \times 10^{-4} ~T$.

Two ions having masses in the ratio $1: 1$ and charges $1: 2$ are projected into a uniform magnetic field perpendicular to the field with speeds in the ratio $2: 3$. The ratio of the radii of circular paths along which the two particles move is :
A
$4: 3$
B
$2: 3$
C
$3: 1$
D
$1: 4$

Solution

(A) Given ratios: $m_1: m_2 = 1: 1$,$q_1: q_2 = 1: 2$,and $v_1: v_2 = 2: 3$.
When a charged particle moves in a uniform magnetic field perpendicular to the field,it follows a circular path with radius $r = \frac{mv}{Bq}$.
Therefore,the ratio of the radii is given by $\frac{r_1}{r_2} = \left(\frac{m_1}{m_2}\right) \left(\frac{v_1}{v_2}\right) \left(\frac{q_2}{q_1}\right)$.
Substituting the given values: $\frac{r_1}{r_2} = \left(\frac{1}{1}\right) \times \left(\frac{2}{3}\right) \times \left(\frac{2}{1}\right) = \frac{4}{3}$.
Thus,the ratio of the radii is $4: 3$.

Solution

(B) Magnetic susceptibility,$\chi = 499$.
Permeability of vacuum,$\mu_0 = 4 \pi \times 10^{-7} \ H/m$.
Relative permeability of the rod is given by $\mu_r = 1 + \chi$.
Substituting the value,$\mu_r = 1 + 499 = 500$.
Absolute permeability $\mu$ is given by $\mu = \mu_r \mu_0$.
$\mu = 500 \times 4 \pi \times 10^{-7} \ H/m$.
$\mu = 2000 \pi \times 10^{-7} \ H/m$.

If $\alpha, \beta, \gamma$ are the roots of the equation $x^3+4x+1=0$,then $(\alpha+\beta)^{-1}+(\beta+\gamma)^{-1}+(\gamma+\alpha)^{-1}$ is equal to
A
$2$
B
$3$
C
$4$
D
$5$

Solution

(C) Given that $\alpha, \beta, \gamma$ are the roots of the cubic equation $x^3+0x^2+4x+1=0$.
By Vieta's formulas,the sum of the roots is $\alpha+\beta+\gamma = 0$.
Therefore,$\alpha+\beta = -\gamma$,$\beta+\gamma = -\alpha$,and $\gamma+\alpha = -\beta$.
The expression becomes:
$(\alpha+\beta)^{-1}+(\beta+\gamma)^{-1}+(\gamma+\alpha)^{-1} = \frac{1}{-\gamma} + \frac{1}{-\alpha} + \frac{1}{-\beta} = -(\frac{1}{\alpha} + \frac{1}{\beta} + \frac{1}{\gamma})$.
This simplifies to:
$-(\frac{\alpha\beta + \beta\gamma + \gamma\alpha}{\alpha\beta\gamma})$.
From the equation $x^3+0x^2+4x+1=0$,we have $\alpha\beta + \beta\gamma + \gamma\alpha = 4$ and $\alpha\beta\gamma = -1$.
Substituting these values:
$-(\frac{4}{-1}) = -(-4) = 4$.

If the sum of two of the roots of $x^3+p x^2-q x+r=0$ is zero,then $p q$ is equal to
A
$-r$
B
$r$
C
$2 r$
D
$-2 r$

Solution

(A) Let the roots of the equation $x^3+p x^2-q x+r=0$ be $\alpha, \beta, \gamma$.
Given that the sum of two roots is zero,let $\alpha+\beta=0$,which implies $\beta=-\alpha$.
From the relation between roots and coefficients:
$1) \alpha+\beta+\gamma = -p \implies 0+\gamma = -p \implies \gamma = -p$.
$2) \alpha \beta + \beta \gamma + \gamma \alpha = -q \implies \alpha(-\alpha) + \gamma(\alpha+\beta) = -q$.
Since $\alpha+\beta=0$,we have $-\alpha^2 + 0 = -q$,so $\alpha^2 = q$.
$3) \alpha \beta \gamma = -r \implies \alpha(-\alpha)\gamma = -r \implies -\alpha^2 \gamma = -r$.
Substituting $\alpha^2=q$ and $\gamma=-p$ into the equation $-\alpha^2 \gamma = -r$:
$-q(-p) = -r \implies pq = -r$.

A
$72$

C
$200$
D
$248$

Solution

(D) Given expression: $225+(3 \omega+8 \omega^2)^2+(3 \omega^2+8 \omega)^2$
Expanding the squares using $(a+b)^2 = a^2+2ab+b^2$ and using $\omega^3 = 1$ and $\omega^4 = \omega$:
$= 225 + (9 \omega^2 + 48 \omega^3 + 64 \omega^4) + (9 \omega^4 + 48 \omega^3 + 64 \omega^2)$
$= 225 + (9 \omega^2 + 48(1) + 64 \omega) + (9 \omega + 48(1) + 64 \omega^2)$
Grouping the terms:
$= 225 + 48 + 48 + (9+64) \omega^2 + (64+9) \omega$
$= 225 + 96 + 73(\omega^2 + \omega)$
Since $1 + \omega + \omega^2 = 0$,we have $\omega^2 + \omega = -1$:
$= 321 + 73(-1)$
$= 321 - 73 = 248$

B
$3 \frac{d[NH_3]}{dt} = 3 \frac{d[H_2]}{dt}$
C
$2 \frac{d[NH_3]}{dt} = -3 \frac{d[H_2]}{dt}$
D
$3 \frac{d[NH_3]}{dt} = -2 \frac{d[H_2]}{dt}$

Solution

(D) For the reaction $N_{2(g)} + 3H_{2(g)} \longrightarrow 2NH_{3(g)}$,the rate of reaction is expressed as:
$Rate = -\frac{d[N_2]}{dt} = -\frac{1}{3} \frac{d[H_2]}{dt} = \frac{1}{2} \frac{d[NH_3]}{dt}$
Equating the terms for $NH_3$ and $H_2$:
$-\frac{1}{3} \frac{d[H_2]}{dt} = \frac{1}{2} \frac{d[NH_3]}{dt}$
Multiplying both sides by $6$:
$-2 \frac{d[H_2]}{dt} = 3 \frac{d[NH_3]}{dt}$
Rearranging gives $3 \frac{d[NH_3]}{dt} = -2 \frac{d[H_2]}{dt}$.

A
$10$ ampere
B
$20$ ampere
C
$30$ ampere
D

Solution

(A) The reaction for the deposition of aluminium is: $Al^{3+} + 3e^- \rightarrow Al(s)$.
According to Faraday's law of electrolysis,the mass deposited $w$ is given by $w = \frac{M \times I \times t}{n \times F}$,where $M$ is the molar mass of $Al$ $(27 \ g/mol)$,$I$ is the current in amperes,$t$ is the time in seconds $(96.5 \ s)$,$n$ is the number of electrons involved $(3)$,and $F$ is Faraday's constant $(96500 \ C/mol)$.
Substituting the values: $0.09 = \frac{27 \times I \times 96.5}{3 \times 96500}$.
$0.09 = \frac{27 \times I \times 96.5}{289500}$.
$I = \frac{0.09 \times 289500}{27 \times 96.5} = \frac{26055}{2605.5} = 10 \ A$.
Therefore,the value of $X$ is $10$.

(B) During the electrolysis of $50 \% H_2SO_4$ using platinum electrodes,the concentration of the acid is high enough that the oxidation of the hydrogen sulfate ion $(HSO_4^-)$ occurs at the anode instead of the oxidation of water.
The reaction at the anode is: $2HSO_4^- \longrightarrow H_2S_2O_8 + 2e^-$.
Thus,the product obtained at the anode is peroxodisulfuric acid $(H_2S_2O_8)$.

The oxidation state of $Xe$ in $XeO_3$ and the bond angle in it respectively are:
A
$+6, 109^{\circ}$
B
$+8, 103^{\circ}$
C
$+6, 103^{\circ}$
D
$+8, 120^{\circ}$

Solution

(C) The oxidation state of $Xe$ in $XeO_3$ is calculated as follows:
$x + 3(-2) = 0$
$x - 6 = 0$
$x = +6$
In $XeO_3$,$Xe$ undergoes $sp^3$ hybridization with one lone pair,resulting in a pyramidal geometry.
The bond angle in $XeO_3$ is approximately $103^{\circ}$.

Which one of the following electrolytes is used in Down's process of extracting sodium metal?
A
$NaCl + KCl + KF$
B
$NaCl$
C
$NaOH + KCl + KF$
D
$NaCl + NaOH$

Solution

(A) In Down's process,metallic sodium is extracted by the electrolysis of a fused mixture of $NaCl$,$CaCl_2$,and $KF$.
The addition of $CaCl_2$ and $KF$ lowers the melting point of $NaCl$ from $801^{\circ}C$ to approximately $600^{\circ}C$,which helps in reducing energy consumption and prevents the vaporization of sodium metal.
Therefore,the electrolyte used is a mixture of $NaCl$,$CaCl_2$,and $KF$.

Which one of the following reactions occurs at the anode in the Castner process of extracting sodium metal?
A
$H_2 \longrightarrow 2 H^{+} + 2 e^{-}$
B
$2 Cl^{-} \longrightarrow Cl_2 + 2 e^{-}$
C
$4 OH^{-} \longrightarrow 2 H_2 O + O_2 + 4 e^{-}$
D
$Na^{+} + e^{-} \longrightarrow Na$

Solution

(B) The Castner process involves the electrolysis of fused sodium chloride $(NaCl)$.
At the cathode,sodium ions are reduced: $Na^{+} + e^{-} \longrightarrow Na$.
At the anode,chloride ions are oxidized to chlorine gas: $2 Cl^{-} \longrightarrow Cl_2 + 2 e^{-}$.
Therefore,the reaction occurring at the anode is $2 Cl^{-} \longrightarrow Cl_2 + 2 e^{-}$.

Which one of the following represents the graph between $\log p$ (on $Y$-axis) and $\frac{1}{T}$ (on $X$-axis)?
($p=$ vapour pressure of a liquid,$T=$ absolute temperature)
A
Option A
B
Option B
C
Option C
D
Option D

Solution

(C) According to the Clausius-Clapeyron equation,the relationship between vapour pressure $(p)$ and absolute temperature $(T)$ is given by:
$\log p = -\frac{\Delta H_{vap}}{2.303 R} \left(\frac{1}{T}\right) + C$
where $\Delta H_{vap}$ is the enthalpy of vaporization,$R$ is the gas constant,and $C$ is a constant.
This equation is in the form of a straight line equation $y = mx + c$,where the slope $m = -\frac{\Delta H_{vap}}{2.303 R}$.
Since the slope is negative,the graph of $\log p$ versus $\frac{1}{T}$ is a straight line with a negative slope,which corresponds to the graph shown in option $C$.

If the mass defect of a nuclide is $3.32 \times 10^{-26} \ g$,its binding energy in $MeV$ is:
A
$9.31$
B
$18.62$
C
$27.93$
D
$37.24$

Solution

(B) The mass defect is given as $3.32 \times 10^{-26} \ g$.
First,convert the mass defect into atomic mass units $(amu)$ by dividing by the mass of one $amu$ $(1.66 \times 10^{-24} \ g)$:
$\text{Mass defect in } amu = \frac{3.32 \times 10^{-26} \ g}{1.66 \times 10^{-24} \ g/amu} = 0.02 \ amu$.
The binding energy is calculated using the relation: $\text{Binding energy} = \text{Mass defect in } amu \times 931 \ MeV/amu$.
$\text{Binding energy} = 0.02 \times 931 \ MeV = 18.62 \ MeV$.

Which one of the following equations represents the Freundlich adsorption isotherm?
A
$\frac{x}{m} = K p$
B
$\frac{x}{m} = K p^{1/n}$
C
$\log \frac{x}{m} = K p^n$
D
$\log \frac{x}{m} = K n \log p$

Solution

(B) The Freundlich adsorption isotherm is given by the empirical relationship:
$\frac{x}{m} = K p^{1/n}$
where:
$x$ is the mass of the adsorbate,
$m$ is the mass of the adsorbent,
$p$ is the pressure,
$K$ and $n$ are constants that depend on the nature of the adsorbent and adsorbate at a particular temperature.
