Find the relation between drift velocity and relaxation time of charge carriers in a conductor. (b) A conductor of length

Answer»

Here,  Vd = a *  τ 

a - acceleration = Ee / m 

And τ = relaxation time 

Second one is very interesting one 

We know I = n * A * Vd * e 

Mutiply on R H S by L both nr and dr 

So I = n * v * Vd * e / L (v - volume which remains constant) 

But I = E/R 

Now E/R = n * v * Vd * e / L 

We know that R is proportional to L2 provided volume remains constant Now dropping all non changing quantities we have 1/R is proportional to Vd / L 

OR Vd is proportional to L/R You are increasing the length 3 times and resistance increases by 9 times 

Hence new Vd = 3/9 = 1/3 of the original 

Drift velocity is reduced to one-third of its original value

How would you distinguish experimentally between an alcohol and a carboxylic acid?

Answer»

Sodium bicarbonate test is the best method to experimentally distinguish carboxylic acid from alcohol because even phenol does not respond to this test. In this test, carboxylic acid reacts with sodium bicarbonate to form sodium acetate and a brisk effervescence of CO2

This effervescence is what indicates the carboxylic acid. 

RCOOH + NaHCO3 → RCOONa + H2O + CO2 

NOTE: Sodium bicarbonate test is also known as sodium hydrogen-carbonate test.

Assertion: Copper oxide in a beaker is added with dilute HCl when copper (II) chloride is formed. Reason: The colour of solution becomes brown and the copper oxide dissolves.a) Both A and R are true, and R is correct explanation of the assertion. b) Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of the assertion. c) A is true, but R is false. d) A is false, but R is true.

Answer»

(c) The colour of solution formed is blue green and copper chloride is formed.

2HCl + CuO → CuCl2 + H2O

(c)  A is true , but R is false

     CuO + HCL → CuCl+ H2O

The colour would be bluish not brown .

A block of wood weights 16 kg in air. A lead block which has apparent weight of 28 kg in water is attached to the block of wood, and both of them are submerged in water If their combined apparent weight in water is 19 kg find the density of wooden block in `kg//m^(3)` Take density of water `=1000 kg//m^(3)` .

Answer» Correct Answer - `0640`
`rho_(w) v_(w)=16 rho_(x)=density of H_(2)O`
`rho_(L)V_(L) - rho_(H) V_(L) = 28`
`rho_(L) V_(L) + rho_(w) w_(w)-rho_(H)(V_(L)+V_(w))=19`
Rightarrow `16-rho_(H) V_(w)+28=19`
`rho_(H) V_(w)=25`
Rightarrow`(rho_(w))/rho_(H) = 16/25 Rightarrow rho_(w)=16/25xx1000=640 kg//m^(3)`
