Explain the Dilution Factor calculation method

Answer»

Dilution Factor = final volume/initial volume.    

DF = Vf /V 

For Example :    

How would you make 500 mL of a 1:250 dilution?    

Solution:   

DF = Vf /Vi    

Vi = Vf /DF = 500mL/250 = 2.00 mL    

Pipet 2.00 mL of your stock solution into a 500 mL volumetric flask.    

Add diluent to the mark on the flask (you will have added about 498 mL of water). 

You now have a 1:250 dilution of your original solution.

1. Explain why hydrogen peroxide is stored in coloured plastic bottles. 2. Write any two uses of H2O2 .

Answer»

1. In the presence of metal surfaces or traces of alkali (present in glass conatiners), the decomposition of H2O2 (2H2O2 → 2H2O + O2) is catalysed. It is therefore stored in wax-lined glasses or plastic vessels in dark.

2. 1. As a hair bleach and as a mild disinfectant.

2. In the syntheseis of hydroquinone, tartaric acid and certain food products and pharmaceuticals.

5509.

Why H2O2 is used as mild antiseptic?

Answer»

The oxidising property of hydrogen peroxide and harmless nature of its products such as water and oxygen, leads to oxidation of pollutants in water and act as a mild antiseptic.

An incandescent bulb has a thin filament of tungsten that is heated to high temperature by passing an electric current. The hot filament emits black-body radiation. The filament is observed to break up at random locations after a sufficiently long time of operation due to non-uniform evaporation of tungsten from the filament. If the bulb is powered at constant voltage, which of the following statement(s) is(are) true? (A) The temperature distribution over the filament is uniform (B) The resistance over small sections of the filament decreases with time (C) The filament emits more light at higher band of frequencies before it breaks up (D) The filament consumes less electrical power towards the end of the life of the bulb

Answer»

(C) The filament emits more light at higher band of frequencies before it breaks up 

(D) The filament consumes less electrical power towards the end of the life of the bulb

When filament breaks up, the temperature of filament will be higher so according to wein’s law

\((\lambda _m ∝\frac{1}{T},v_ m∝T)\) , the filament emits more light at higher band of frequencies.

As voltage is constant, so consumed electrical power is P = v2 / R

As R increases with increase in temperature so the filament consumes less electrical power towards the end of the life of the bulb.

A wall is made up of two layers, \( A \) and \( B \). The thickness of the two layers is the same, but the materials are different. The thermal conductivity of \( A \) is double that of \( B \). If in thermal equilibrium, the temperature difference between the two ends is \( 36^{\circ} C \), then the difference in temperature between the two surfaces of \( A \) will be:1. \( 6^{\circ} C \)2. \( 12^{\circ} C \)3. \( 18^{\circ} C \)4. \( 24^{\circ} C \)

Answer»

Correct option is (2) 12C

Consider two walls 'A' and 'B' of thickness 't' each, and thermal conductivity of '2K' and 'K' respectively.

The temperatures at the left of A = Ta​

The temperatures at the right of B = Tb​

The temperature at the junction = T

Heat flow is a constant in steady state:

\(Q = KA \frac{dT}{dx}\) ​= constant

Equating heat flow for both walls we get:

\(2KA \frac{T-T_a}{t - 0} = KA \frac{T_b - T}{2t - t}\)

Which simplifies to: 3T = Tb​ + 2Ta​

Also given that the temperature difference between the walls is 36C

Tb​ − Ta​ = 36

Combining the two equation in T, Ta​, Tb​ and eliminating Tb​

We get T − T​= 12C

A lift starts from rest. Its acceleration is plotted against time. When it comes to rest its height above its starting point is A. `20m`B. `64m`C. `32m`D. `128m`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
At `t=4 sec. V=0+(4)(4)=16m//sec.`
At `t=8sec. V=16m//sec`.
At `t=12 sec, V=16-4(12-8)=0`
For `0` to `4 sec,s_(1)=(1)/(2)at^(2)=(1)/(2)(4)(4)^(2)=32m`
For 4 to `8 sec,s_(2)=16(8-4)=64m`
For `8` to `12 sec,s_(3)=16(4)-(1)/(2)(4)(4)^(2)=32m`
So `s_(1)+s_(2)+s_(3)=32+64+32=128m`

(a) The top of the atmosphere is at about 400 kV with respect to the surface of the earth, corresponding to an electric field that decreases with altitude. Near the surface of the earth, the field is about 100 Vm−1. Why then do we not get an electric shock as we step out of our house into the open? (Assume the house to be a steel cage so there is no field inside!)(b) A man fixes outside his house one evening a two metre high insulating slab carrying on its top a large aluminium sheet of area 1m2. Will he get an electric shock if he touches the metal sheet next morning?(c) The discharging current in the atmosphere due to the small conductivity of air is known to be 1800 A on an average over the globe. Why then does the atmosphere not discharge itself completely in due course and become electrically neutral? In other words, what keeps the atmosphere charged?(d) What are the forms of energy into which the electrical energy of the atmosphere is dissipated during a lightning? (Hint: The earth has an electric field of about 100 Vm−1 at its surface in the downward direction, corresponding to a surface charge density = −10−9 C m−2. Due to the slight conductivity of the atmosphere up to about 50 km (beyond which it is good conductor), about + 1800 C is pumped every second into the earth as a whole. The earth, however, does not get discharged since thunderstorms and lightning occurring continually all over the globe pump an equal amount of negative charge on the earth.)

Answer»

(a) We do not get an electric shock as we step out of our house because the original equipotential surfaces of open air changes, keeping our body and the ground at the same potential.
 

(b) Yes, the man will get an electric shock if he touches the metal slab next morning. The steady discharging current in the atmosphere charges up the aluminium sheet. As a result, its voltage rises gradually. The raise in the voltage depends on the capacitance of the capacitor formed by the aluminium slab and the ground.

(c) The occurrence of thunderstorms and lightning charges the atmosphere continuously. Hence, even with the presence of discharging current of 1800 A, the atmosphere is not discharged completely. The two opposing currents are in equilibrium and the atmosphere remains electrically neutral.
 

(d) During lightning and thunderstorm, light energy, heat energy, and sound energy are dissipated in the atmosphere.

Two small spheres each of mass 'm' kg and having equal charge are suspended from a point by insulating threads each of length 'I' metre but negligible mass. If '0' is the angle which each string makes with vertical when equilibrium has been reached, find charge on one sphere.

Answer»

T cos θ = mg

T sin θ = Fe

tan θ = \(\frac{Fe}{mg}\)

\(Fe = \frac{kq^2}{r^2}\)

\(Fe = \frac{kq^2}{(2d)^2}\)

\(Fe = \frac{kq^2}{4l^2 sin^2\theta}\)

\(tan\theta= \frac{kq^2}{4l^2sin^{2} \theta\times mg}\)

\(q^2 = (4mgl^2\,sin^2\theta\, tan\theta)4\pi\varepsilon\)

A conducting sphere of radius `10 cm` is charged `10 muC`. Another uncharged sphere of radius `20 cm` is allowed to touch it for some tome. After that if the sphere are separted, then surface density of chsrges, on the spheres will be in the ratio ofA. `1 : 1`B. `4 : 1`C. `1 : 3`D. `1 : 4

Answer» Correct Answer - B
(b) When one charged and other uncharged conducting spheres are in contact then charge on each sphere is half the charge on first charged sphere.
When both the spheres are placed in contact with each other, the charge on each,
`q_(1) = q_(2) = q = (10 + 0)/(2) muC = 5 mu C`
Surface charge density is given by, `sigma = (q)/(4 pi r)`
Hence, `sigma_(1) = (q_(1))/(4 pi r_(1)^(2))` and `sigma_(2) = (q_(2))/(4 pi r_(2)^(2))`
`implies (sigma_(1))/(sigma_(2)) = (q_(1))/(4 pi r_(1)^(2)) (4 pi_(2)^(2))/(q_(2)) = (5 xx (20)^(2))/((10)^(2) xx 5) = (4)/(1)`

A man walks on a straight road from his home to a market 2.5 km away with a speed of 5kmh-1. Finding the market closed, he instantly turns and walks back home with a speed of 7.5kmh-1. What is the magnitude of average velocity, and average speed of the man over the following intervals of time:1. 0 to 30 min,2. 0 to 50 min,3. 0 to 40 min?

Answer»

Average speed over the interval of time from 0 to 30min

\(\frac{20km}{30min} = \frac{2.5 km}{\frac{1}{2}h}\) = 5 kmh-1

Magnitude of average velocity over the interval of time from 0 to 30 min is 5kmh-1. This is because the “distance travelled” and the ‘magnitude of displacement’ over the interval of time from 0 to 30 min are equal. Distance covered from 30 to 50 minutes

= 7.5kmh-1 × \(\frac{20}{60}\) h = 2.5km

Total distance covered from 0 to 50 minute

= 2.5 km+ 2.5 km = 5km

Total time = 50min = \(\frac{50}{60}\) h = \(\frac{5}{6}\) h

Average speed over the interval of time from 0 to 50min

\(\frac{5km}{5/6h}\) = 6kmh-1

The displacement over the interval of time from 0 to 50 min is zero. So the magnitude of average velocity is zero. Distance covered from 30 to 40 min

= 7.5kmh-1 × \(\frac{1}{6}\) h = 1.25km

Total distance covered from 0 to 40 minute

= 2.5 km + 1.25 km = 3.75km

Average speed over the interval of time from 0 to 40min

\(\cfrac{3.75km}{\frac{40}{60}h}\) = 5.625kmh-1

The “magnitude of displacement” is (2.5 -1.25) km, i.e., 1.25 km.

Time interval = \(\frac{2}{3}\)h

The ‘magnitude of average velocity’ = \(\frac{1.25 km}{2/3h}\),

= 1.875 kmh-1.

1. A particle cannot have two different positions at the same time.

2. A particle cannot have velocity in opposite directions at the same time.

3. Speed is always positive (non-negative).

4. Total path length of a particle can never decrease with time.

Note: The arrows on the graphs are meaningless.

A wire stretched between two rigid supports vibrates in its fundamental mode with a frequency of 45Hz. The mass of the wire is 3.5 × 10-2kg and its linear mass density is 4.0 × 10-2kgm-1. What is1. the speed of a transverse wave on the string and2. the tension in the string?

Answer»

mass of wire M = 3.5 × 10-2kg

Linear density µ = mass / length

= M/l = 4.0 × 10-2kg

∴ Length of wire l = \(\frac{M}{μ}\)=\(\frac{3.5×10^{−2}} {4 \times 10^{-2}}\)m = 0.875m

In the fundamental mode,

λ =2l = 2 × 0.875m = 1.75m

1. Speed of transverse waves u = v λ

= 45 × 1.75ms-1 = 78.75ms-1

2. u= \(\sqrt{\frac{T}{μ}}\) or T = µu2 = 4 × 10-2(78.75)2N

= 278.06N.

A `10kg` weight is suspended with a wire `AB` of linear mass density `0.01kg//mj`. Length of `AP` segment is `1m` and it is vibrated with a tuning form in its second overtone. Now instead of `10kg`. A `40kg` weight is suspended. By what minimum distance should we displace the pulley forward to achieves the resonance with same tuning fork `(g=10m//sec^(2))` A. `0.33m`B. `0.67m`C. `1m`D. `1.33m`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Initially
`f_(0)=3/(2l)sqrt(T/(mu))`
`t_(0)=3/2 3/(2xx1)sqrt(100/0.01)=150Hz`
In the second case suppose the tunning fork is in resonance with `n^(th)` harmonic
`f_(0)=n/(3l)sqrt(T/(mu))`
`150=n/(2l)sqrt(400/0.01)` `l=n/1.5`
`n=1 l_(1)=1/1.5=0.67`
`n=2 l_(2)2/1.5=1.33`
`n=3 l_(3)=3/1.5=2m`
