What is $Z$ in the following reaction sequence?
$C_6H_5NH_2$ $\xrightarrow[(i) NaNO_2 + HCl / 273 \ K]{(ii) H_3PO_2 + H_2O}$ $\xrightarrow[(iii) CO, HCl, \text{anhydrous } AlCl_3/CuCl]{} Z$
A
$C_6H_5CO_2H$
B
$C_6H_5OH$
C
$C_6H_5CHO$
D
$C_6H_6$

Solution

(C) The reaction sequence is as follows:
$1$. Aniline $(C_6H_5NH_2)$ reacts with $NaNO_2 + HCl$ at $273 \ K$ to form benzene diazonium chloride $(C_6H_5N_2^+Cl^-)$.
$2$. Benzene diazonium chloride reacts with $H_3PO_2 + H_2O$ to undergo reduction,yielding benzene $(C_6H_6)$.
$3$. Benzene then undergoes the Gattermann-Koch reaction with $CO + HCl$ in the presence of anhydrous $AlCl_3/CuCl$ to form benzaldehyde $(C_6H_5CHO)$.
Thus,$Z$ is $C_6H_5CHO$.

The radius of the first orbit of hydrogen is $r_{H}$,and the energy in the ground state is $-13.6 \text{ eV}$. Considering a $\mu^{-}$-particle with a mass $207 m_e$ revolving around a proton as in a hydrogen atom,the energy and radius of the proton and $\mu^{-}$-combination respectively in the first orbit are (assume the nucleus to be stationary):
A
$-13.6 \times 207 \text{ eV}, \frac{r_{H}}{207}$
B
$-207 \times 13.6 \text{ eV}, 207 r_{H}$
C
$-\frac{13.6}{207} \text{ eV}, \frac{r_{H}}{207}$
D
$-\frac{13.6}{207} \text{ eV}, 207 r_{H}$

Solution

(A) The energy of the $n$-th orbit is given by $E_n = -\frac{m e^4}{8 \varepsilon_0^2 h^2 n^2}$. Since $E_n \propto m$,the energy of the $\mu^{-}$-atom is $E_{\mu} = \frac{m_{\mu}}{m_e} \times E_e$. Given $m_{\mu} = 207 m_e$,we have $E_{\mu} = 207 \times (-13.6 \text{ eV}) = -13.6 \times 207 \text{ eV}$.
The radius of the $n$-th orbit is given by $r_n = \frac{\varepsilon_0 h^2 n^2}{\pi m e^2}$. Since $r_n \propto \frac{1}{m}$,the radius of the $\mu^{-}$-atom is $r_{\mu} = \frac{m_e}{m_{\mu}} \times r_{H} = \frac{m_e}{207 m_e} \times r_{H} = \frac{r_{H}}{207}$.
Thus,the energy is $-13.6 \times 207 \text{ eV}$ and the radius is $\frac{r_{H}}{207}$.

$CH_3MgBr + CO_2$ $\xrightarrow{\text{Dry ether}} Y$ $\xrightarrow{H_3O^{\oplus}} Z$. Identify $Z$ from the following.
A
Ethyl acetate
B
Acetic acid
C
Propanoic acid
D
Methyl acetate

Solution

(B) The reaction of Grignard reagent $(CH_3MgBr)$ with carbon dioxide $(CO_2)$ in the presence of dry ether forms an intermediate magnesium salt,$CH_3COOMgBr$ $(Y)$.
Upon acid hydrolysis $(H_3O^{\oplus})$,this intermediate yields acetic acid $(CH_3COOH)$ as the final product $(Z)$.

What is $Z$ in the following reaction? $CH_3-CH_2-CO_2^{\ominus} Na^{\oplus} \stackrel{NaOH / CaO}{\longrightarrow} Z$
A
propane
B
$n$-butane
C
ethane
D
ethyne

Solution

(C) The reaction given is a decarboxylation reaction,also known as the soda-lime decarboxylation.
When sodium propanoate $(CH_3CH_2CO_2Na)$ is heated with soda-lime $(NaOH + CaO)$,it undergoes decarboxylation to form an alkane with one carbon atom less than the parent carboxylic acid salt.
The reaction is: $CH_3CH_2CO_2Na + NaOH \xrightarrow{CaO, \Delta} CH_3CH_3 + Na_2CO_3$.
Thus,$Z$ is ethane $(CH_3CH_3)$.

Which one of the following has the longest covalent bond distance?
A
$C-C$
B
$C-H$
C
$C-N$
D
$C-O$

Solution

(A) The bond length is defined as the average distance between the centers of the nuclei of two bonded atoms in a molecule. It depends on factors such as atomic size,hybridization,and electronegativity difference.
Atomic radii follow the order: $C > N > O > H$.
Since the $C-C$ bond involves two atoms with the largest atomic radii among the given pairs,it results in the longest bond length.
Therefore,the correct option is $A$.

What are the shapes of ethyne and methane?
A
Square planar and linear
B
Tetrahedral and trigonal planar
C
Linear and tetrahedral
D
Trigonal planar and linear

Solution

(C) Ethyne $(C_2H_2)$: The carbon atom is $sp$ hybridized with $2$ $\sigma$-bonds and $0$ lone pairs,resulting in a linear geometry.
Methane $(CH_4)$: The carbon atom is $sp^3$ hybridized with $4$ $\sigma$-bonds and $0$ lone pairs,resulting in a tetrahedral geometry.

The structure of $XeOF_4$ is
A
trigonal bipyramidal
B
square planar
C
square pyramidal
D
pyramidal

Solution

(C) In $XeOF_4$,the central atom $Xe$ has $8$ valence electrons.
It forms $4$ single bonds with $F$ atoms and $1$ double bond with the $O$ atom.
This accounts for $6$ electrons in bonding,leaving $1$ lone pair.
Total electron pairs = $5$ bonding pairs + $1$ lone pair = $6$ electron pairs.
This corresponds to $sp^3d^2$ hybridization with an octahedral electron geometry.
Due to the presence of $1$ lone pair,the molecular geometry is square pyramidal.

The molecular interactions responsible for hydrogen bonding in $HF$ are:
A
ion-induced dipole
B
dipole-dipole
C
dipole-induced dipole
D
ion-dipole

Solution

(B) hydrogen bond is a specific type of dipole-dipole interaction between a hydrogen atom covalently bonded to a highly electronegative atom and another electronegative atom with a lone pair of electrons.
In an $HF$ molecule,the electronegativity difference between $H$ and $F$ is significant,which creates a permanent dipole.
Therefore,the interaction between $HF$ molecules is a dipole-dipole interaction.

In a reaction,$A + B \rightleftharpoons C + D$,$40 \%$ of $B$ has reacted at equilibrium,when $1 \ mole$ of $A$ was heated with $1 \ mole$ of $B$ in a $10 \ L$ closed vessel. The value of $K_C$ is
A
$0.44$
B
$0.18$
C
$0.22$
D
$0.36$

Solution

(A) The reaction is $A + B \rightleftharpoons C + D$.
Initial moles: $A = 1, B = 1, C = 0, D = 0$.
At equilibrium,$40 \%$ of $B$ has reacted,so the amount reacted is $1 \times 0.4 = 0.4 \ mole$.
Equilibrium moles: $A = (1 - 0.4) = 0.6, B = (1 - 0.4) = 0.6, C = 0.4, D = 0.4$.
Since the volume is $10 \ L$,the concentrations are $[A] = 0.6/10, [B] = 0.6/10, [C] = 0.4/10, [D] = 0.4/10$.
$K_C = \frac{[C][D]}{[A][B]} = \frac{(0.4/10) \times (0.4/10)}{(0.6/10) \times (0.6/10)} = \frac{0.4 \times 0.4}{0.6 \times 0.6} = \frac{0.16}{0.36} = 0.44$.

In a first order reaction,the concentration of the reactant decreases from $0.6 \ M$ to $0.3 \ M$ in $15 \ min$. The time taken for the concentration to change from $0.1 \ M$ to $0.025 \ M$ in minutes is
A
$1.2$
B
$12$
C
$30$
D
$3$

Solution

(C) Since the concentration of the reactant decreases from $0.6 \ M$ to $0.3 \ M$ (i.e.,halved) in $15 \ min$,the half-life $(t_{1/2})$ of the reaction is $15 \ min$.
For a first-order reaction,the time required for the concentration to change from $[A]_0$ to $[A]$ is given by $t = \frac{2.303}{k} \log \frac{[A]_0}{[A]}$.
Given $[A]_0 = 0.1 \ M$ and $[A] = 0.025 \ M$,the ratio $\frac{[A]_0}{[A]} = \frac{0.1}{0.025} = 4 = 2^2$.
This implies that the concentration reduces to $1/4$ of its initial value,which corresponds to two half-lives $(2 \times t_{1/2})$.
Therefore,$t = 2 \times 15 \ min = 30 \ min$.

ChemistryMCQTS EAMCET · 2014
Which one of the following correctly represents the variation of electronegativity $(EN)$ with atomic number $(Z)$ of group $13$ elements?
A
Option A
B
Option B
C
Option C
D
Option D

Solution

(D) For group $13$ elements,the electronegativity $(EN)$ values on the Pauling scale are as follows:
$B: 2.0$
$Al: 1.5$
$Ga: 1.6$
$In: 1.7$
$Tl: 1.8$
As we move down the group from $B$ to $Al$,the electronegativity decreases due to the increase in atomic size.
However,from $Al$ to $Tl$,the electronegativity increases gradually due to the poor shielding effect of $d$ and $f$ orbitals,which increases the effective nuclear charge.
Therefore,the correct variation is a decrease from $B$ to $Al$,followed by an increase from $Al$ to $Tl$.

The number of electrons in the valence shell of the central atom of a molecule is $8$. The molecule is
A
$BCl_3$
B
$BeH_2$
C
$SCl_2$
D
$SF_6$

Solution

(C) In $SCl_2$,the central atom is $S$ (Sulfur),which has $6$ valence electrons.
It forms $2$ single bonds with $Cl$ atoms,using $2$ electrons.
Remaining electrons $= 6 - 2 = 4$,which form $2$ lone pairs.
Total valence electrons around $S = 2 \text{ (bonding pairs)} \times 2 + 2 \text{ (lone pairs)} \times 2 = 4 + 4 = 8$ electrons.
Thus,$SCl_2$ follows the octet rule.

The increasing order of the atomic radius of $Si, S, Na, Mg, Al$ is
A
$S < Si < Al < Mg < Na$
B
$Na < Al < Mg < S < Si$
C
$Na < Mg < Si < Al < S$
D
$Na < Mg < Al < Si < S$

Solution

(A) As we move from left to right in a period,the effective nuclear charge increases.
Due to this,the atomic radius decreases.
Thus,the correct order of atomic radii of $3^{rd}$ period elements is $Na > Mg > Al > Si > S$.
Therefore,the increasing order is $S < Si < Al < Mg < Na$.

$A$ $TV$ transmitting antenna is $128 \ m$ tall. If the receiving antenna is at the ground level,the maximum distance between them for satisfactory communication in line-of-sight mode is (radius of the earth $R_e = 6.4 \times 10^6 \ m$):
A
$64 \times \sqrt{10} \ km$
B
$\frac{128}{\sqrt{10}} \ km$
C
$128 \times \sqrt{10} \ km$
D
$\frac{64}{\sqrt{10}} \ km$

Solution

(C) The maximum line-of-sight distance $d$ between a transmitting antenna of height $h_T$ and a receiving antenna at ground level is given by the formula: $d = \sqrt{2 R_e h_T}$.
Given values:
$R_e = 6.4 \times 10^6 \ m$
$h_T = 128 \ m$
Substituting these values into the formula:
$d = \sqrt{2 \times (6.4 \times 10^6) \times 128}$
$d = \sqrt{12.8 \times 10^6 \times 128}$
$d = \sqrt{128 \times 10^5 \times 128}$
$d = 128 \times \sqrt{10^5} \ m$
$d = 128 \times \sqrt{10 \times 10^4} \ m$
$d = 128 \times 100 \times \sqrt{10} \ m$
$d = 12800 \sqrt{10} \ m$
Converting to kilometers $(1 \ km = 1000 \ m)$:
$d = \frac{12800 \sqrt{10}}{1000} \ km = 12.8 \sqrt{10} \ km$.
Wait,let's re-calculate: $d = \sqrt{2 \times 6.4 \times 10^6 \times 128} = \sqrt{12.8 \times 10^6 \times 128} = \sqrt{1638.4 \times 10^6} = \sqrt{1638400000} \approx 40477 \ m \approx 40.47 \ km$.
Using the provided options,let's check $d = \sqrt{2 \times 6.4 \times 10^6 \times 128} = \sqrt{12.8 \times 10^6 \times 128} = \sqrt{128 \times 10^5 \times 128} = 128 \times \sqrt{10^5} = 128 \times 100 \sqrt{10} \ m = 128 \sqrt{10} \ km$. Thus,the correct option is $C$.

The oxidation state and covalency of $Al$ in $[AlCl(H_2O)_5]^{2+}$ are respectively
A
$+6, 6$
B
$+3, 6$
C
$+2, 6$
D
$+3, 3$

Solution

(B) In the complex $[AlCl(H_2O)_5]^{2+}$,let the oxidation state of $Al$ be $x$.
The oxidation state of $Cl^-$ is $-1$ and $H_2O$ is a neutral ligand $(0)$.
$x + (-1) + 5(0) = +2$
$x - 1 = +2$
$x = +3$
Thus,the oxidation state of $Al$ is $+3$.
The covalency (coordination number) is the total number of coordinate bonds formed by the central metal atom with the ligands.
Here,$Cl$ provides $1$ bond and $5$ $H_2O$ molecules provide $5$ bonds.
Total covalency $= 1 + 5 = 6$.

In the circuit shown,the heat produced in $5 \Omega$ resistance due to current $I_2$ is $50 \text{ J/s}$. Then,the heat generated per second in $2 \Omega$ resistance is (in $text{ J/s}$)
Question diagram
A
$5$
B
$4$
C
$9$
D
$10$

Solution

(A) The power dissipated in the $5 \Omega$ resistor is given by $P_2 = I_2^2 R_2 = 50 \text{ J/s}$.
Given $R_2 = 5 \Omega$,we have $I_2^2 \times 5 = 50$,which implies $I_2^2 = 10 \text{ A}^2$,so $I_2 = \sqrt{10} \text{ A}$.
The potential difference $V$ across the parallel branches is $V = I_2 \times R_2 = \sqrt{10} \times 5 = 5\sqrt{10} \text{ V}$.
The upper branch consists of $2 \Omega$ and $8 \Omega$ resistors in series,so the total resistance of the upper branch is $R_1 = 2 \Omega + 8 \Omega = 10 \Omega$.
The current $I_1$ in the upper branch is $I_1 = \frac{V}{R_1} = \frac{5\sqrt{10}}{10} = \frac{\sqrt{10}}{2} \text{ A}$.
The heat generated per second in the $2 \Omega$ resistor is $P_1 = I_1^2 \times R_{2\Omega} = \left(\frac{\sqrt{10}}{2}\right)^2 \times 2 = \frac{10}{4} \times 2 = \frac{20}{4} = 5 \text{ J/s}$.

Wires $A$ and $B$ have resistivities $\rho_A$ and $\rho_B$,where $\rho_B = 2 \rho_A$,and have lengths $l_A$ and $l_B$. If the diameter of wire $B$ is twice that of $A$ and the two wires have the same resistance,then the ratio $\frac{l_B}{l_A}$ is:
A
$2$
B
$1$
C
$\frac{1}{2}$
D
$\frac{1}{4}$

Solution

(A) Given: $\rho_B = 2 \rho_A$ and $R_A = R_B = R$.
Let the radius of wire $A$ be $r_A = r$.
Since the diameter of $B$ is twice that of $A$,the radius of wire $B$ is $r_B = 2r$.
The resistance of a wire is given by $R = \rho \frac{l}{A} = \rho \frac{l}{\pi r^2}$.
Equating the resistances of both wires:
$\rho_A \frac{l_A}{\pi r_A^2} = \rho_B \frac{l_B}{\pi r_B^2}$
Substituting the given values:
$\rho_A \frac{l_A}{\pi r^2} = (2 \rho_A) \frac{l_B}{\pi (2r)^2}$
$\rho_A \frac{l_A}{\pi r^2} = 2 \rho_A \frac{l_B}{4 \pi r^2}$
$\frac{l_A}{1} = \frac{2 l_B}{4}$
$\frac{l_A}{1} = \frac{l_B}{2}$
Therefore,$\frac{l_B}{l_A} = 2$.

Which one of the following ions has the same number of unpaired electrons as those present in $V^{3+}$ ion?
A
$Fe^{3+}$
B
$Ni^{2+}$
C
$Mn^{2+}$
D
$Cr^{3+}$

Solution

(B) The electronic configuration of Vanadium $(Z=23)$ is $[Ar] 3d^3 4s^2$.
For $V^{3+}$,the configuration is $[Ar] 3d^2 4s^0$,which contains $2$ unpaired electrons.
Now,let us check the options:
$A) Fe^{3+} (Z=26): [Ar] 3d^5 4s^0 \Rightarrow 5$ unpaired electrons.
$B) Ni^{2+} (Z=28): [Ar] 3d^8 4s^0 \Rightarrow 2$ unpaired electrons.
$C) Mn^{2+} (Z=25): [Ar] 3d^5 4s^0 \Rightarrow 5$ unpaired electrons.
$D) Cr^{3+} (Z=24): [Ar] 3d^3 4s^0 \Rightarrow 3$ unpaired electrons.
Thus,$Ni^{2+}$ has the same number of unpaired electrons as $V^{3+}$.

The energy of a photon is equal to the kinetic energy of a proton. If $\lambda_1$ is the de-Broglie wavelength of a proton and $\lambda_2$ is the wavelength associated with the photon,and if the energy of the photon is $E$,then $(\lambda_1 / \lambda_2)$ is proportional to
A
$E^4$
B
$E^{1/2}$
C
$E^2$
D
$E$

Solution

(B) The energy of a photon is given by $E = \frac{hc}{\lambda_2}$,so the wavelength of the photon is $\lambda_2 = \frac{hc}{E}$.
For a proton,the kinetic energy is $E = \frac{p^2}{2m}$,which gives the momentum $p = \sqrt{2mE}$.
The de-Broglie wavelength of the proton is $\lambda_1 = \frac{h}{p} = \frac{h}{\sqrt{2mE}}$.
Now,calculating the ratio $\frac{\lambda_1}{\lambda_2}$:
$\frac{\lambda_1}{\lambda_2} = \frac{h / \sqrt{2mE}}{hc / E} = \frac{h}{\sqrt{2mE}} \cdot \frac{E}{hc} = \frac{E}{\sqrt{2mE} \cdot c} = \frac{\sqrt{E}}{\sqrt{2m} \cdot c}$.
Since $m$ and $c$ are constants,we have $\frac{\lambda_1}{\lambda_2} \propto \sqrt{E}$ or $E^{1/2}$.

At $298 \ K$,the molar conductivities at infinite dilution $(\Lambda_m^{\circ})$ of $NH_4Cl$,$KOH$,and $KCl$ are $152.8$,$272.6$,and $149.8 \ S \ cm^2 \ mol^{-1}$ respectively. The $\Lambda_m^{\circ}$ of $NH_4OH$ in $S \ cm^2 \ mol^{-1}$ and $\%$ dissociation of $0.01 \ M \ NH_4OH$ with $\Lambda_m = 25.1 \ S \ cm^2 \ mol^{-1}$ at the same temperature are:
A
$275.6, 0.91$
B
$275.6, 9.1$
C
$266.6, 9.6$
D
$30, 84$

Solution

(B) According to Kohlrausch's law of independent migration of ions:
$\Lambda_m^{\circ}(NH_4OH) = \Lambda_m^{\circ}(NH_4Cl) + \Lambda_m^{\circ}(KOH) - \Lambda_m^{\circ}(KCl)$
$\Lambda_m^{\circ}(NH_4OH) = 152.8 + 272.6 - 149.8 = 275.6 \ S \ cm^2 \ mol^{-1}$
The degree of dissociation $(\alpha)$ is given by:
$\alpha = \frac{\Lambda_m}{\Lambda_m^{\circ}} = \frac{25.1}{275.6} \approx 0.091$
Percentage dissociation $= \alpha \times 100 = 0.091 \times 100 = 9.1 \%$

$A$ coil of wire of radius $r$ has $600$ turns and a self-inductance of $108 \ mH$. The self-inductance of a coil with the same radius and $500$ turns is (in $mH$)
A
$80$
B
$75$
C
$108$
D
$90$

Solution

(B) The self-inductance $L$ of a circular coil is given by the formula $L = \frac{\mu_0 \pi N^2 r}{2}$,where $N$ is the number of turns and $r$ is the radius.
Since the radius $r$ is the same for both coils,we have $L \propto N^2$.
Therefore,the ratio of the self-inductances is given by $\frac{L_1}{L_2} = \left(\frac{N_1}{N_2}\right)^2$.
Given values are $L_1 = 108 \ mH$,$N_1 = 600$,and $N_2 = 500$.
Substituting these values into the ratio formula:
$\frac{108}{L_2} = \left(\frac{600}{500}\right)^2 = \left(\frac{6}{5}\right)^2 = \frac{36}{25}$.
Solving for $L_2$:
$L_2 = 108 \times \frac{25}{36} = 3 \times 25 = 75 \ mH$.
Thus,the self-inductance of the second coil is $75 \ mH$.

The electric field for an electromagnetic wave in free space is $E = \hat{i} 30 \cos (kz - 5 \times 10^8 t)$,where the magnitude of $E$ is in $V/m$. The magnitude of the wave vector $k$ is (velocity of $EM$ wave in free space $= 3 \times 10^8 \ m/s$).
A
$0.46 \ rad \ m^{-1}$
B
$3 \ rad \ m^{-1}$
C
$1.66 \ rad \ m^{-1}$
D
$0.83 \ rad \ m^{-1}$

Solution

(C) The given electric field equation is $E = \hat{i} 30 \cos (kz - 5 \times 10^8 t)$.
The standard form of a traveling electromagnetic wave is $E = E_0 \cos (kz - \omega t)$.
Comparing the given equation with the standard form,we get the angular frequency $\omega = 5 \times 10^8 \ rad/s$.
The relationship between the speed of light $c$,angular frequency $\omega$,and wave vector $k$ is given by $c = \frac{\omega}{k}$.
Rearranging for $k$,we get $k = \frac{\omega}{c}$.
Substituting the given values,$k = \frac{5 \times 10^8 \ rad/s}{3 \times 10^8 \ m/s} = \frac{5}{3} \ rad/m$.
Therefore,$k \approx 1.66 \ rad/m$.

$A$ charge $Q$ is divided into two charges $q$ and $Q-q$. The value of $q$ such that the force between them is maximum,is
A
$Q$
B
$\frac{3Q}{4}$
C
$\frac{Q}{2}$
D
$\frac{Q}{3}$

Solution

(C) According to Coulomb's law,the electrostatic force $F$ between two charges $q$ and $Q-q$ separated by a distance $r$ is given by:
$F = \frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0} \cdot \frac{q(Q-q)}{r^2}$
To find the value of $q$ for which the force is maximum,we differentiate $F$ with respect to $q$ and set it to zero:
$\frac{dF}{dq} = \frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0 r^2} \cdot \frac{d}{dq}(Qq - q^2) = 0$
Since $\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0 r^2} \neq 0$,we have:
$\frac{d}{dq}(Qq - q^2) = 0$
$Q - 2q = 0$
$2q = Q$
$q = \frac{Q}{2}$
Thus,the force is maximum when the charge $Q$ is divided into two equal parts,$q = \frac{Q}{2}$.

Two concentric hollow spherical shells have radii $r$ and $R$ $(R \gg r)$. $A$ charge $Q$ is distributed on them such that the surface charge densities are equal. The electric potential at the centre is
A
$\frac{Q(R+r)}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0(R^2+r^2)}$
B
$\frac{Q(R^2+r^2)}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0(R+r)}$
C
$\frac{Q}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0(R+r)}$
D
zero

Solution

(A) Let the surface charge density be $\sigma$. Since the surface charge densities are equal for both shells,we have $\sigma_1 = \sigma_2 = \sigma$.
The total charge $Q$ is the sum of charges on the two shells: $Q = q_1 + q_2$.
$Q = \sigma(4 \pi r^2) + \sigma(4 \pi R^2) = 4 \pi \sigma (r^2 + R^2)$.
Thus,$\sigma = \frac{Q}{4 \pi (r^2 + R^2)}$.
The electric potential at the centre of a spherical shell of radius $a$ with charge $q$ is $V = \frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0} \frac{q}{a}$.
For two concentric shells,the potential at the centre is the sum of potentials due to each shell:
$V = V_r + V_R = \frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0} \left( \frac{q_1}{r} + \frac{q_2}{R} \right)$.
Substituting $q_1 = \sigma(4 \pi r^2)$ and $q_2 = \sigma(4 \pi R^2)$:
$V = \frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0} \left( \frac{\sigma 4 \pi r^2}{r} + \frac{\sigma 4 \pi R^2}{R} \right) = \frac{\sigma}{\varepsilon_0} (r + R)$.
Substituting the value of $\sigma$:
$V = \frac{Q}{4 \pi (r^2 + R^2) \varepsilon_0} (r + R) = \frac{Q(R + r)}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0 (R^2 + r^2)}$.

What are $X$ and $Y$ in the following reaction?
$CF_2Cl_2 \xrightarrow{UV} X + Y$
A
$\cdot CF_2Cl, \cdot Cl$
B
$^{-}C_2F_4, Cl_2$
C
$\cdot CFCl_2, \cdot F$
D
$CCl_2, F_2$

Solution

(A) Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs),such as $CF_2Cl_2$,are stable compounds in the troposphere. However,when they reach the stratosphere,they absorb ultraviolet $(UV)$ radiation.
This high-energy radiation causes the homolytic cleavage of the $C-Cl$ bond,resulting in the formation of chlorine free radicals.
The reaction is represented as:
$CF_2Cl_2 \xrightarrow{UV} \cdot CF_2Cl + \cdot Cl$
Here,$X$ is the chlorodifluoromethyl radical $(\cdot CF_2Cl)$ and $Y$ is the chlorine free radical $(\cdot Cl)$.

Which one of the following is more readily hydrolysed by $S_{N}1$ mechanism?
A
$(C_6H_5)_2C(CH_3)Br$
B
$C_6H_5CH_2Br$
C
$C_6H_5CH(CH_3)Br$
D
$(C_6H_5)_2CHBr$

Solution

(A) The rate of $S_{N}1$ reaction depends on the stability of the carbocation intermediate formed after the departure of the leaving group.
Greater stability of the carbocation leads to a faster reaction.
The carbocations formed from the given halides are:
$A$: $(C_6H_5)_2C^+(CH_3)$ (Tertiary benzylic carbocation,stabilized by two phenyl rings and one methyl group)
$B$: $C_6H_5CH_2^+$ (Primary benzylic carbocation)
$C$: $C_6H_5CH^+(CH_3)$ (Secondary benzylic carbocation)
$D$: $(C_6H_5)_2CH^+$ (Secondary benzylic carbocation,but less stable than $A$ due to lack of the electron-donating methyl group)
Comparing the stability,the tertiary benzylic carbocation $(C_6H_5)_2C^+(CH_3)$ is the most stable due to resonance and the inductive effect of the methyl group.
Thus,$(C_6H_5)_2C(CH_3)Br$ is most readily hydrolysed by the $S_{N}1$ mechanism.

Solution

(D) During the extraction of iron from haematite ore,the roasted ore,along with coke and limestone,is heated in a blast furnace.
Coke acts as a reducing agent,while limestone acts as a flux.
Limestone decomposes to form $CaO$,which reacts with acidic impurities like silica $(SiO_2)$ to form calcium silicate $(CaSiO_3)$ slag:

$A$ satellite is revolving very close to a planet of density $\rho$. The period of revolution of the satellite is
A

B
$\sqrt{\frac{3 \pi}{2 \rho G}}$
C
$\sqrt{\frac{3 \pi}{\rho G}}$
D
$\sqrt{\frac{3 \pi G}{\rho}}$

Solution

(C) The period of revolution $T$ of a satellite orbiting at a distance $r = R_p + h$ from the center of a planet is given by $T = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{r^3}{GM_p}}$.
For a satellite revolving very close to the surface,$h \approx 0$,so $r = R_p$.
The mass of the planet $M_p$ in terms of its density $\rho$ and radius $R_p$ is $M_p = \frac{4}{3} \pi R_p^3 \rho$.
Substituting $M_p$ into the period formula:
$T = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{R_p^3}{G (\frac{4}{3} \pi R_p^3 \rho)}}$.
Simplifying the expression:
$T = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{3}{4 \pi G \rho}} = \sqrt{\frac{4 \pi^2 \cdot 3}{4 \pi G \rho}} = \sqrt{\frac{3 \pi}{G \rho}}$.

If the solubility product constant $(K_{sp})$ of $Ni(OH)_2$ is $1.9 \times 10^{-15}$,the molar solubility of $Ni(OH)_2$ in $1.0 \ M \ NaOH$ is:
A
$1.9 \times 10^{-18} \ M$
B
$1.9 \times 10^{-13} \ M$
C
$1.9 \times 10^{-15} \ M$
D
$1.9 \times 10^{-14} \ M$

Solution

(C) $NaOH$ is a strong electrolyte,so $[OH^-] = 1.0 \ M$.
Let the solubility of $Ni(OH)_2$ be $s \ M$.
$Ni(OH)_2(s) \rightleftharpoons Ni^{2+}(aq) + 2OH^-(aq)$
$K_{sp} = [Ni^{2+}][OH^-]^2$
$1.9 \times 10^{-15} = (s)(1.0 + 2s)^2$
Since $s$ is very small,we can approximate $(1.0 + 2s) \approx 1.0$.
$1.9 \times 10^{-15} = s \times (1.0)^2$
$s = 1.9 \times 10^{-15} \ M$.

The force required to move a body up a rough inclined plane is double the force required to prevent the body from sliding down the plane. If the angle of inclination of the plane is $60^{\circ}$,then the coefficient of friction is
A
$\frac{1}{3}$
B
$\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$
C
$\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$
D
$\frac{1}{2}$

Solution

(C) Let $m$ be the mass of the body,$\theta$ be the angle of inclination,and $\mu$ be the coefficient of friction.
The force required to move the body up the inclined plane is $F_{up} = mg \sin \theta + \mu mg \cos \theta$.
The force required to prevent the body from sliding down the inclined plane is $F_{down} = mg \sin \theta - \mu mg \cos \theta$.
According to the problem,$F_{up} = 2 F_{down}$.
Substituting the expressions,we get:
$mg \sin \theta + \mu mg \cos \theta = 2(mg \sin \theta - \mu mg \cos \theta)$
Dividing both sides by $mg$:
$\sin \theta + \mu \cos \theta = 2 \sin \theta - 2 \mu \cos \theta$
Rearranging the terms to solve for $\mu$:
$3 \mu \cos \theta = \sin \theta$
$\mu = \frac{1}{3} \tan \theta$
Given $\theta = 60^{\circ}$,we have:
$\mu = \frac{1}{3} \tan 60^{\circ} = \frac{1}{3} \times \sqrt{3} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$.

A
$\frac{1}{3}$
B
$\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$
C
$\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$
D
$\frac{1}{2}$

Solution

(C) For upward motion,the force required is $F_{up} = mg(\sin \theta + \mu \cos \theta)$.
For downward motion,the force required to prevent sliding is $F_{down} = mg(\sin \theta - \mu \cos \theta)$.
According to the problem,$F_{up} = 2 F_{down}$.
Substituting the expressions,we get:
$mg(\sin \theta + \mu \cos \theta) = 2 mg(\sin \theta - \mu \cos \theta)$
$\sin \theta + \mu \cos \theta = 2 \sin \theta - 2 \mu \cos \theta$
$3 \mu \cos \theta = \sin \theta$
$\mu = \frac{1}{3} \tan \theta$
Given $\theta = 60^{\circ}$,we have $\tan 60^{\circ} = \sqrt{3}$.
Therefore,$\mu = \frac{1}{3} \times \sqrt{3} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$.

$A$ steady current flows in a long wire. It is bent into a circular loop of one turn and the magnetic field at the centre of the coil is $B$. If the same wire is bent into a circular loop of $n$ turns,the magnetic field at the centre of the coil is
A
$B/n$
B
$nB$
C
$nB^2$
D
$n^2B$

Solution

(D) The magnetic field at the centre of a circular coil with $n$ turns is given by $B = \frac{\mu_0 n i}{2r}$,where $i$ is the current and $r$ is the radius of the loop.
Let the length of the wire be $L$. For a single turn $(n_1 = 1)$,the circumference is $2\pi r_1 = L$,so $r_1 = L / (2\pi)$.
The magnetic field is $B = \frac{\mu_0 (1) i}{2 r_1} = \frac{\mu_0 i}{2 (L / 2\pi)} = \frac{\mu_0 i \pi}{L}$.
When the same wire is bent into $n$ turns $(n_2 = n)$,the new circumference is $2\pi r_2 = L/n$,so $r_2 = L / (2\pi n)$.
The new magnetic field $B'$ is $B' = \frac{\mu_0 n i}{2 r_2} = \frac{\mu_0 n i}{2 (L / 2\pi n)} = \frac{\mu_0 n^2 i \pi}{L}$.
Comparing the two,$B' = n^2 \left( \frac{\mu_0 i \pi}{L} \right) = n^2 B$.

An electrically charged particle enters a uniform magnetic field in a direction perpendicular to the field with a velocity $v$. Then,it travels
A
in a straight line without acceleration
B
with force in the direction of the field
C
in a circular path with a radius directly proportional to $v^2$
D
in a circular path with a radius directly proportional to its velocity

Solution

(D) When a charged particle enters a uniform magnetic field perpendicular to the field lines,the magnetic Lorentz force acts as a centripetal force.
$F = qvB = \frac{mv^2}{r}$
From this,the radius $r$ of the circular path is given by:
$r = \frac{mv}{qB}$
Since $m$,$q$,and $B$ are constants,we have $r \propto v$.
Therefore,the particle travels in a circular path with a radius directly proportional to its velocity.

B
$1.6 \times 10^{-3} ~T$
C
$1.5 \times 10^{-3} ~T$
D

Solution

(D) Given:
Horizontal component of earth's magnetic field,$B_H = 0.8 \times 10^{-4} ~T$
Angle of dip,$\theta = 60^{\circ}$
We need to find the earth's total magnetic field,$B_e$.
The relationship between the total magnetic field,its horizontal component,and the angle of dip is given by:
$B_H = B_e \cos \theta$
Substituting the given values:
$0.8 \times 10^{-4} = B_e \cos 60^{\circ}$
Since $\cos 60^{\circ} = 0.5$:
$0.8 \times 10^{-4} = B_e \times 0.5$
Solving for $B_e$:
$B_e = \frac{0.8 \times 10^{-4}}{0.5}$
$B_e = 1.6 \times 10^{-4} ~T$
Thus,the earth's overall magnetic field is $1.6 \times 10^{-4} ~T$.

A
$(1, 1, 1)$
B
$(1, 1, 0)$
C
$(1, 0, 1)$
D
$(1, 2, 1)$

Solution

(C) Given,$\frac{2 x^3+x^2-5}{x^4-25}=\frac{A x+B}{x^2-5}+\frac{C x+1}{x^2+5}$
Since $x^4-25 = (x^2-5)(x^2+5)$,we have:
$2 x^3+x^2-5 = (A x+B)(x^2+5) + (C x+1)(x^2-5)$
$2 x^3+x^2-5 = A x^3 + 5Ax + Bx^2 + 5B + Cx^3 - 5Cx + x^2 - 5$
$2 x^3+x^2-5 = x^3(A+C) + x^2(B+1) + x(5A-5C) + (5B-5)$
Equating the coefficients of $x^3, x^2, x$ and the constant term:
$A+C = 2$
$B+1 = 1 \Rightarrow B = 0$
$5A-5C = 0 \Rightarrow A = C$
$5B-5 = -5 \Rightarrow 5(0)-5 = -5$ (which is consistent)
Substituting $A=C$ into $A+C=2$,we get $2C=2$,so $C=1$ and $A=1$.
Thus,$(A, B, C) = (1, 0, 1)$.

Solution

(D) Given,$x_1$ and $x_2$ are the roots of the equation $x^2-kx+c=0$.
From the relation between roots and coefficients:
$x_1+x_2 = k$
$x_1x_2 = c$
The distance between the points $A(x_1, 0)$ and $B(x_2, 0)$ is given by the formula:
$AB = |x_2-x_1|$
We know that $(x_2-x_1)^2 = (x_1+x_2)^2 - 4x_1x_2$.
Substituting the values:
$|x_2-x_1| = \sqrt{(x_1+x_2)^2 - 4x_1x_2}$
$|x_2-x_1| = \sqrt{k^2 - 4c}$
Therefore,the distance is $\sqrt{k^2-4c}$.

A
$1, -1$

C
$1, 2$
D

Solution

(C) Let the roots of the quadratic equation $x^2 - px + q = 0$ be $\alpha$ and $\beta$.
Since the roots are positive integers,we have $\alpha + \beta = p$ and $\alpha \beta = q$.
Since $q$ is a prime number,its only factors are $1$ and $q$.
Thus,the roots must be $1$ and $q$.
Substituting these into the sum of roots equation: $1 + q = p$.
Since $p$ and $q$ are both prime numbers,the only consecutive primes that satisfy $p - q = 1$ are $p = 3$ and $q = 2$.
Substituting $p = 3$ and $q = 2$ into the original equation: $x^2 - 3x + 2 = 0$.
Factoring the equation: $(x - 1)(x - 2) = 0$.
Therefore,the roots are $1$ and $2$.

D

Solution

(B) Let $y = \frac{x^2-x+1}{x^2+x+1}$.
Cross-multiplying,we get $y(x^2+x+1) = x^2-x+1$.
$(y-1)x^2 + (y+1)x + (y-1) = 0$.
Since $x$ is real,the discriminant $D \geq 0$.
$D = (y+1)^2 - 4(y-1)^2 \geq 0$.
$(y+1)^2 - [2(y-1)]^2 \geq 0$.
Using $a^2-b^2 = (a-b)(a+b)$:
$((y+1) - (2y-2))((y+1) + (2y-2)) \geq 0$.
$(-y+3)(3y-1) \geq 0$.
$(y-3)(3y-1) \leq 0$.

Solution

(A) Given,$z^3+\bar{z}=0$. Let $z=x+iy$.
Substituting $z$ into the equation: $(x+iy)^3 + (x-iy) = 0$.
Expanding the cube: $(x^3 - 3xy^2 + x) + i(3x^2y - y^3 - y) = 0$.
Equating real and imaginary parts to zero:
$1) x(x^2 - 3y^2 + 1) = 0$
$2) y(3x^2 - y^2 - 1) = 0$.
Case $1$: If $x=0$,then $-y(y^2+1)=0 \Rightarrow y=0$. So,$(0,0)$ is a solution.
Case $2$: If $y=0$,then $x(x^2+1)=0 \Rightarrow x=0$. (Already found).
Case $3$: If $x \neq 0$ and $y \neq 0$,then $x^2 - 3y^2 + 1 = 0$ and $3x^2 - y^2 - 1 = 0$.
Adding the two equations: $4x^2 - 4y^2 = 0 \Rightarrow x^2 = y^2$.
Substituting $y^2 = x^2$ into $x^2 - 3y^2 + 1 = 0$: $x^2 - 3x^2 + 1 = 0$ $\Rightarrow 2x^2 = 1$ $\Rightarrow x = \pm \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$.
Since $x^2 = y^2$,$y = \pm \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$.
The solutions are $(0,0)$,$(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}, \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}})$,$(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}, -\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}})$,$(-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}, \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}})$,and $(-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}, -\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}})$.

A
$\frac{4 R}{r^2}$
B
$\frac{4 R}{r}$
C
$\frac{2 R^2}{r}$
D

Solution

(D) Let $T$ be the surface tension of water.
The surface energy of one small drop is $U_s = 4 \pi r^2 T$.
The surface energy of $n$ small drops is $n U_s = n(4 \pi r^2 T)$.
The surface energy of the bigger drop is $E = 4 \pi R^2 T$.
The energy loss is given by the difference between the initial surface energy and the final surface energy:
$\text{Energy Loss} = n(4 \pi r^2 T) - 4 \pi R^2 T = 3E$.
Since $E = 4 \pi R^2 T$,we have:
$n(4 \pi r^2 T) - 4 \pi R^2 T = 3(4 \pi R^2 T)$.
$n(4 \pi r^2 T) = 4(4 \pi R^2 T)$.
$n r^2 = 4 R^2$.

Time taken to return home: $t_2 = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}} = \frac{2.5 \ km}{7.5 \ km/h} = \frac{1}{3} \ h = 20 \ min$.
Total time taken for the round trip is $30 \ min + 20 \ min = 50 \ min$.
Since the total time interval given is $50 \ min$,the person completes the entire journey.
Total distance covered = $2.5 \ km + 2.5 \ km = 5 \ km = 5000 \ m$.
Total time in seconds = $50 \ min \times 60 \ s/min = 3000 \ s$.

$x = (mv^2) / (2F)$
Since $v$ and $F$ are constant,the stopping distance $x$ is directly proportional to the mass $m$ of the bus $(x \propto m)$.
Let the initial mass be $m_1 = m$ and the initial distance be $x_1 = x$.
The new mass after a $25 \%$ increase is $m_2 = m + 0.25m = 1.25m$.
Using the proportionality $x_2 / x_1 = m_2 / m_1$:
$x_2 / x = (1.25m) / m$
$x_2 = 1.25x$.

The path of a projectile is given by the equation $y = ax - bx^2$,where $a$ and $b$ are constants and $x$ and $y$ are respectively horizontal and vertical distances of the projectile from the point of projection. The maximum height attained by the projectile and the angle of projection are respectively:
A
$\frac{2a^2}{b}, \tan^{-1}(a)$
B
$\frac{b^2}{2a}, \tan^{-1}(b)$
C
$\frac{a^2}{b}, \tan^{-1}(2b)$
D
$\frac{a^2}{4b}, \tan^{-1}(a)$

Solution

(D) The equation of the trajectory is given by $y = ax - bx^2$.
Comparing this with the standard equation of projectile motion,$y = x \tan \theta - \frac{gx^2}{2u^2 \cos^2 \theta}$,we get:
$a = \tan \theta$ and $b = \frac{g}{2u^2 \cos^2 \theta}$.
From $a = \tan \theta$,the angle of projection is $\theta = \tan^{-1}(a)$.
The maximum height $H$ is given by $H = \frac{u^2 \sin^2 \theta}{2g}$.
Since $\tan \theta = a$,we have $\sin \theta = \frac{a}{\sqrt{1+a^2}}$ and $\cos \theta = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1+a^2}}$.
Also,$b = \frac{g}{2u^2 \cos^2 \theta} \implies u^2 = \frac{g}{2b \cos^2 \theta}$.
Substituting $u^2$ into the formula for $H$:
$H = \frac{g}{2b \cos^2 \theta} \cdot \frac{\sin^2 \theta}{2g} = \frac{\tan^2 \theta}{4b} = \frac{a^2}{4b}$.
Thus,the maximum height is $\frac{a^2}{4b}$ and the angle of projection is $\tan^{-1}(a)$.

$A$ body is projected at an angle $\theta$ so that its range is maximum. If $T$ is the time of flight,then the value of maximum range is (acceleration due to gravity $= g$)
A
$\frac{g^2 T}{2}$
B
$\frac{g T}{2}$
C
$\frac{g T^2}{2}$
D
$\frac{g^2 T^2}{2}$

Solution

(C) The range of a projectile is given by $R = \frac{u^2 \sin 2\theta}{g}$.
For maximum range,the angle of projection is $\theta = 45^{\circ}$.
Thus,$R_{\max} = \frac{u^2 \sin(2 \times 45^{\circ})}{g} = \frac{u^2}{g} \quad \dots(i)$.
The time of flight $T$ is given by $T = \frac{2u \sin \theta}{g}$.
Substituting $\theta = 45^{\circ}$,we get $T = \frac{2u \sin 45^{\circ}}{g} = \frac{2u}{g \sqrt{2}} = \frac{u \sqrt{2}}{g}$.
From this,we find $u = \frac{Tg}{\sqrt{2}}$.
Substituting the value of $u$ into equation $(i)$:
$R_{\max} = \frac{1}{g} \left( \frac{Tg}{\sqrt{2}} \right)^2 = \frac{1}{g} \left( \frac{T^2 g^2}{2} \right) = \frac{g T^2}{2}$.

If the radius of a nucleus with mass number $125$ is $1.5 \text{ fermi}$,then the radius of a nucleus with mass number $64$ is: (in $text{ fermi}$)
A
$0.48$
B
$0.96$
C
$1.92$
D
$1.2$

Solution

(D) The radius of a nucleus is given by the formula $R = R_0 A^{1/3}$,where $R_0$ is a constant and $A$ is the mass number.
Given:
$R_1 = 1.5 \text{ fermi}$,$A_1 = 125$
$A_2 = 64$
We need to find $R_2$.
Taking the ratio of the radii:
$\frac{R_1}{R_2} = \left(\frac{A_1}{A_2}\right)^{1/3}$
Substituting the values:
$\frac{1.5}{R_2} = \left(\frac{125}{64}\right)^{1/3}$
$\frac{1.5}{R_2} = \frac{5}{4}$
$R_2 = \frac{1.5 \times 4}{5} = 0.3 \times 4 = 1.2 \text{ fermi}$.

C
$X = CH_3-CH_2-MgBr, Y = CH_3CH_2CHO$
D
$X = (CH_3)_3CMgBr, Y = CH_3-CO-CH_3$

Solution

(B) For the first reaction:
$CH_2O$ (formaldehyde) reacts with a Grignard reagent $(RMgBr)$ followed by hydrolysis to form a primary alcohol. The product is $CH_3CH_2CH_2CH_2OH$ (butan$-1-$ol). The Grignard reagent must be $CH_3CH_2CH_2MgBr$ (propylmagnesium bromide).
For the second reaction:
$Y$ reacts with $C_2H_5MgBr$ followed by hydrolysis to form $CH_3CH_2C(CH_3)_2OH$ ($2$-methylbutan$-2-$ol). This is a tertiary alcohol. The reaction of a ketone with a Grignard reagent produces a tertiary alcohol. Comparing the structure,$Y$ must be $CH_3COCH_3$ (acetone or propanone).

(C) $1$. The reaction $C_6H_5CONH_2 \xrightarrow{NaOBr} y$ is the Hofmann bromamide degradation reaction,which converts an amide into a primary amine with one carbon atom less. Thus,$y$ is aniline $(C_6H_5NH_2)$.
$2$. The reaction $C_6H_5CONH_2 \xrightarrow[(ii) H_3O^+]{(i) C_6H_5SO_2Cl / py, \Delta} x$ involves the reaction of benzamide with benzenesulfonyl chloride in the presence of pyridine,followed by heating and acidic hydrolysis. This sequence is a variation of the Curtius or Lossen-type rearrangement or simply a dehydration/hydrolysis pathway leading to the formation of aniline $(C_6H_5NH_2)$.

C
$C_6H_5I$ and $CH_3CH_2OH$
D
$C_6H_5OH$ and $CH_3CH_2I$

Solution

(D) The reaction of alkyl aryl ethers with $HI$ involves the cleavage of the $O-alkyl$ bond.
This occurs because the $O-aryl$ bond possesses partial double bond character due to resonance,making it stronger and harder to break.
Therefore,the ether $C_6H_5-O-CH_2CH_3$ reacts with $HI$ to form phenol $(C_6H_5OH)$ and ethyl iodide $(CH_3CH_2I)$.
Thus,the correct option is $D$.

Solution

(D) During the extraction of iron from haematite ore $(Fe_2O_3)$,the roasted ore is mixed with coke and limestone and heated in a blast furnace.
Coke acts as a reducing agent to reduce iron oxides to metallic iron.
Limestone $(CaCO_3)$ decomposes to form calcium oxide $(CaO)$,which acts as a flux.
This flux reacts with acidic impurities like silica $(SiO_2)$ present in the ore to form calcium silicate $(CaSiO_3)$,which is known as slag.
Therefore,the role of limestone is to act as a flux.

Vapour pressure in $mm \ Hg$ of $0.1 \ mole$ of urea in $180 \ g$ of water at $25^{\circ} C$ is (The vapour pressure of water at $25^{\circ} C$ is $24 \ mm \ Hg$ )
A
$2.376$
B
$20.76$
C
$23.76$
D
$24.76$

Solution

(C) According to Raoult's law for a solution containing a non-volatile solute:
$\frac{p^{\circ} - p_s}{p^{\circ}} = \frac{n_2}{n_1 + n_2} \approx \frac{n_2}{n_1}$
Given:
$n_2$ (moles of urea) $= 0.1 \ mol$
$W_1$ (mass of water) $= 180 \ g$
$M_1$ (molar mass of water) $= 18 \ g/mol$
$n_1$ (moles of water) $= \frac{180}{18} = 10 \ mol$
$p^{\circ}$ (vapour pressure of pure water) $= 24 \ mm \ Hg$
Substituting the values:
$\frac{24 - p_s}{24} = \frac{0.1}{10} = 0.01$
$24 - p_s = 24 \times 0.01 = 0.24$
$p_s = 24 - 0.24 = 23.76 \ mm \ Hg$

The molar mass of a solute $X$ in $g \ mol^{-1}$,if its $1 \%$ solution is isotonic with a $5 \%$ solution of cane sugar (molar mass $= 342 \ g \ mol^{-1}$),is
A
$68.4$
B
$34.2$
C
$136.2$
D
$171.2$

Solution

(A) For isotonic solutions,the osmotic pressure is equal,so the molar concentrations are equal: $\frac{W_1}{M_1 V_1} = \frac{W_2}{M_2 V_2}$.
Given that the solutions are $1 \%$ and $5 \%$ by mass,we can assume $1 \ g$ of solute $X$ in $100 \ mL$ solution and $5 \ g$ of cane sugar in $100 \ mL$ solution.
Here,$W_1 = 1 \ g$,$W_2 = 5 \ g$,$M_2 = 342 \ g \ mol^{-1}$,and $V_1 = V_2 = 100 \ mL$.
Substituting the values: $\frac{1}{M_1 \times 100} = \frac{5}{342 \times 100}$.
$M_1 = \frac{342}{5} = 68.4 \ g \ mol^{-1}$.

Assertion $(A)$: van der Waals' forces are responsible for chemisorption.
Reason $(R)$: High temperature is favourable for chemisorption.
The correct answer is
A
$(A)$ is false, but $(R)$ is true
B
Both $(A)$ and $(R)$ are correct and $(R)$ is the correct explanation of $(A)$
C
Both $(A)$ and $(R)$ are correct and $(R)$ is not the correct explanation of $(A)$
D
$(A)$ is true, but $(R)$ is false

Solution

$(A)$ van der Waals' forces are responsible for physisorption, not chemisorption.
Chemisorption involves the formation of chemical bonds between the adsorbate and the adsorbent.
Therefore, Assertion $(A)$ is false.
Chemisorption is an activated process and generally requires high activation energy.
Thus, high temperature is favourable for chemisorption as it helps in overcoming the activation energy barrier.
Therefore, Reason $(R)$ is true.
Hence, the correct option is $(A)$ is false, but $(R)$ is true.
