The bacterial growth follows the rate law,(dN)/(dt)=kN, where k is a constant and N is the number of bacterial cell at any time. If the population of bacteria (no. of cell) is doubled in 5 minutes then the time by which the population will be eight times of the initial one.

Answer»

15 mins
10 mins
12 mins
18 mins

SOLUTION : We know that, `(dN)/(DT)`=kN `impliesN=N_0^(e^(KT))`
In 5 min `impliesN=2N_0`
`k=(2.303)/(t)log (N)/(N_0) = (2.303)/(5) log (2N_0)/(N_0)`
`=(2.303)/(5) log 2`= 0.138
For 8 `N_0,t=(2.303)/(0.138) log (8N_0)/(N_0)`=15 min

The average weight of an Indian male is 150 pounds. In SI units it is equal to

Answer»

68.1 KG
75.0 kg
45.4 kg
72.0 kg

Solution :1 POUND = `545 xx 10^(-3) kg `
UNIT factor ` = (545 xx 10^(-3)kg)/(1 "pound")`
` therefore 150 pound = 150 poundxx (454 xx 10^(-3) kg)/(1 pound)`
` = 150 xx 454 xx 10^(-3) kg = 68.1 kg `

16.

The average velocity of gas molecules is 400 ms^(-1) . Its r.m.s. velocity at the same temperature is

Answer»

`2.62 ms^(-1)`
`1.68 ms^(-1)`
`5.86 ms^(-1)`
`4.34 ms^(-1)`

SOLUTION :Average velocity, `u_(av) = sqrt(( 8RT)/( PI M))`
Root MEAN square velocity, `u _("rms") = sqrt(( 2RT)/( M))`
`(u_(rms))/( u_(av)) = (sqrt((3RT)/( M)))/(sqrt((8RT)/(piM)))`
`= sqrt(( 3pi )/( 8)) = sqrt( ( 3 xx 3.143)/( 8)) = 1.085`
`:. u_("r.m.s.") = 1.805 xx u_(av)`
`= 1.085 xx 400`
`= 4.34 ms^(-1)`
17.

`C_("rms") =1.085 xx C_("av")`
`=1.085xx400`
`=434 MS^(-1)`

The average velocity of CO_(2) at T_(1) K and most probable velocity at T_(2)K is 9 × 10^(4) cm//s. Calculate the values of temperatures, T_(1) and T_(2)K.

Answer»

Solution :Average VELOCITY of `CO_(2)` at `T_(1) K = sqrt((8RT_(1))/(π M))`
`implies 9 xx 10^(2) m//sec= sqrt((8RT_(1))/(π (44 xx 10^(-3))))= sqrt(( 8 xx 8.314 xx T_(1))/(3.14(44 xx 10^(-3))))implies T_(1)=1682.5K`
SIMILARLY, Most probable velocity of `CO_(2)` at `T_(2)K = sqrt((2RT_(2))/(M))`
`implies 9 xx 10^(2) m//s= sqrt((2 xx 8.314 xx T_(2))/(44 xx 10^(-3)))implies T_(2)= 2143.37K`

The average speed at T_(1)Kand the most probable speed at T_(2) K of CO_(2) gas is 9 xx 10^(4) cm s^(-1). Calculatethe value of T_(1) and T_(2).

Answer»

Solution :We know, for 1 MOLE of an IDEAL gas,
rms speed `= SQRT((3RT)/(M))`
and rms speed : average speed : most probable speed
`=1 : 0.9211 : 0.8165`.
`therefore` average speed at `T_(1)K = 0.9211 xx sqrt((3RT_(1))/(M)) = 9 xx 10^(4)` …..(1)
and most probable speed at `T_(2)K = 0.8165 xx sqrt((3RT_(2))/(M)) = 9 xx 10^(4)`.
Substituting `R = 8.314 xx 10^(7)` ergsK/mole and M = 44 in (1) and (2), we get,
`T_(1) = 1684` and
`T_(2) = 2143 K`.

the average osmotic pressure of human blood is 7.8 bar at 37^(@)C. What is the concentration of an aqueous NaCl solution that could be used in the blood stream?

Answer»

`"0.15 mol/L"`
`"0.30 mol/L"`
`"0.60 mol'L"`
`"0.45 mol/L"`

Solution :NACL sol. USED should be isotonic with blood STREAM. For NaCl, `i=2. PI=i` CRT

The average osmotic pressure of human blood is 7.7 atm at 40^(@)C. (a) What would be the total concentration of the various solutes in the blood ? (b) Assuming the concentration to be essentially the same as the molality, find the freezing point of blood (K_(f)" for water = "1.86^(@)C).

Answer»

Solution :(a) We are given that `"P = 7.7 atm, T"=40^(@)=C=40+273=313K`
`"R = 0.0821 litre atm/degree/mole"`
`"According to van't Hoff equation, "pi=CRT therefore C=(pi)/(RT)=("7.7 atm")/("0.0821 L atm K"^(-1)"mol"^(-1)xx313K)="0.30 mole/litre"`
(b) Taking the molar concentration as equal to molality (Given), we have
`"m = 0.30,"K_(f)=1.86^(@)C"(Given)"`
`therefore""DeltaT_(f)=K_(f)xxm=1.86xx0.30=0.558^(@)C`
`therefore"Freezing POINT of blood "=0^(@)C-0.558^(@)=-0.558^(@)C`
30.

The average molar mass of a mixture of methane (CH_(4)) and ethene (C_(2)H_(4)) present in the ratio of a:b is found to be 20.0g mol^(-1). If the ratio were reversed, what would be the molar mass of the mixture ?

Answer»

Solution :Molar MASS of `CH_(4)="16 g mol"^(-1)`
`"Molar mass of "C_(2)H_(4)="28 g mol"^(-1)`
When they are PRESENT in the raio `a : b`, their AVERAGE molar mass`=(axx16+bxx28)/(a+b)="20 g mol"^(-1)` (Given)
i.e., `16a+28b=20(a+b) or 4a+7b=5(a+b) or a=2b or (a)/(b)=(2)/(1)=2:1`
If the ratio is REVERSED, now the ratio `a:b=1:2`
`therefore"Average molar mass"=(1xx16+2xx28)/(1+2)=(16+56)/(3)=(72)/(3)="24 g mol"^(-1)`
