Answer»

Correct option is (D) 1/2 (Y + Z - X)

\(\Lambda^0_{eq} (HCl) = \lambda ^0_{H^+} + \lambda^0_{Cl^-}\)

\(2 \times \Lambda^0_{eq} (HCl) = 2\lambda^0_{H^+} + 2\lambda^0_{Cl^-}\)

\(2 \times \Lambda^0_{eq} (HCl) = 2\lambda^0_{H^+} + \lambda ^0_{SO^{-2}_4}- \lambda ^0_{SO^{-2}_4}+2\lambda^0_{Cl^-} + \lambda^0_{Ba^{+2}} - \lambda^0_{Ba^{+2}}\)

\(2 \times \Lambda^0_{eq} (HCl) = \Lambda^0_{eq}(H_2SO_4) + \Lambda^0_{eq}(BaCl_2) - \Lambda^0_{eq}(BaSO_4) \)

\(2 \times \Lambda^0_{eq} (HCl) = Z + Y - X\)

The periodicity is related to the electronic configuration. That is, all chemical and phyical properties are a manifestation of the electronic configurfation of the elements. The atomic and ionic radii generally decrease in a preiod from left or right. As a consequence , the ionisation enthalpies generally increase and electron gain enthalpies become more negative across a period. In other words, the ionisation enthalpy of the extreme left element in a period is the least and the electron left element on the extreme right is the highest negative. This results into high chemical reactivity at two extgremes and the lowest in the centre. Similarly down the group, the increase in atomic and ionic radii result in gradual decrease (with excetption in some third period elements) in electron gain enthalpies in the case of main group elements . These properties can be related with the (i) reducing and oxidising behacviour of the elements (ii) metallic and no-metallic charcter of element (iii) acidic, basic , amphoteric and neutral character of the oxides of the elements. Among `Al_(2)O_(3), SiO_(2),P_(2)O_(3)` and `SO_(2)` the correct order of acid strenght is :A. `Al_2O_3lt SiO_2ltSO_2lt P_2O_3`B. `SiO_2ltSO_2ltAl_2O_3ltP_2O_3`C. `SO_2ltP_2O_3ltSiO_2ltAl_2O_3`D. `Al_2O_3ltSiO_2ltP_2O_3ltSO_2`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
As electronegativity difference between element and oxygen decreases the acidic character of oxides increases.The electronegativity also increases with increasing oxidation states.In general, as non-metallic character increases across the period, the acidic character of their oxides increases

The Solubility product of A2B is 32×10^-9.Calculate its solubility

Answer»

The equation for the reaction will be as follows:

A2B  ⇌ 2A++B-

By Stoichiometry,

1 mole of A2B  gives 2 moles of  and 1 mole of B

Thus if solubility of  A2B is s moles/liter, solubility of A is 2s moles\liter and solubility of B is s moles/liter

Therefore,

Ksp = [2A+]2[B-]

Ksp = [2s]2[s]

4s3 = 32 x 10-9 mol3L-1

s = 2 x 10-3 moles/liter

Hence, the solubility of A2B is 2 x 10-3 moles/liter

In the below reaction. The value of y is 

Answer»

\(\underset{38\,gram}{H_3C -\overset{F\\|}{CH} -CH_2 - CH_3 } \xrightarrow{\bar oH,\Delta} \underset{Major product}{CH_3 - \underset{|\\OH}{CH} - CH_2 -CH_3} + \underset{Minor product\\(Y \, gram)}{CH_3 - CH = CH - CH_3}\)

Minor product will be elemination product.

Assuming all \(CH_3 -\overset{F\\|}{CH} -CH_2 - CH_3\) converted into minor product.

\(\therefore\) Molecular weight of \(CH_3 -\overset{F\\|}{CH} -CH_2 - CH_3\) = 76 g/mol

 Molecular weight of CH3 - CH = CH - CH= 56 g/mol

Number of moles  of \(CH_3 -\overset{F\\|}{CH} -CH_2 - CH_3\) = \(\frac{38}{76}\) = 0.5 mol

\(\therefore\) Number of moles of minor product will  be = 0.5 mol

\(\therefore\) Weight of minor product = 0.5 x 56 = 28 gm

Hence, the value of y = 28 gm.

The guy wire of the electrical pole shown in makes 60° to the horizontal and is carrying a force of 60 kN. Find the horizontal and vertical components of the force.

Answer»

Shows the resolution of force F = 20 kN into its components in horizontal and vertical components. From the figure it is clear that

Fx = F cos 60° = 20 cos 60° = 10 kN (to the left) 

Fy = F sin 60° = 20 sin 60° = 17.32 kN (downward)

5726.

Two forces F1 and F2 are acting at point A as shown in. The angle between the two forces is 50°. It is found that the resultant R is 500 N and makes angles 20° with the force F1 as shown in the figure. Determine the forces F1 and F2.

Answer»

Let ∆ ABC be the triangle of forces drawn to some scale. In this 

∠BAC = α = 20° 

∠ABC = 180 – 50 = 130° 

∴ ∠ACB = 180 – (20 + 130) = 30° 

Applying sine rule to ∆ ABC, we get

\(\cfrac{AB}{sin\,30^\circ}\) = \(\cfrac{BC}{sin\,20^\circ}\) = \(\cfrac{500}{sin\,130^\circ}\)

AB = 326.35 N 

and BC = 223.24 N. 

Thus F1 = AB = 326.35 N 

and F2 = BC = 223.24 N

5727.

A black weighing W = 10 kN is resting on an inclined plane as shown in Determine its components normal to and parallel to the inclined plane.

Answer»

The plane makes an angle of 20° to the horizontal. Hence the normal to the plane makes an angles of 70° to the horizontal i.e., 20° to the vertical. If AB represents the given force W to some scale, AC represents its component normal to the plane and CB represents its component parallel to the plane. 

Thus from ∆ ABC, 

Component normal to the plane = AC

= W cos 20° 

= 10 cos 20° 

= 9.4 kN as shown in 

Component parallel to the plane = W sin 20° = 10 sin 20° 

= 3.42 kN, down the plane

From the above example, the following points may be noted: 

1. Imagine that the arrow drawn represents the given force to some scale. 

2. Travel from the tail to head of arrow in the direction of the coordinates selected. 

3. Then the direction of travel gives the direction of the component of vector. 

4. From the triangle of vector, the magnitudes of components can be calculated.

Shows a particular position of 200 mm connecting rod AB and 80 mm long crank BC. At this position, the connecting rod of the engine experience a force of 3000 N on the crank pin at B. Find its (a) horizontal and vertical component (b) component along BC and normal to it.

Answer»

The force of 3000 N acts along line AB. Let AB make angle α with horizontal. Then, obviously 200 sin α = 80 sin 60° 

∴ α = 20.268° 

Referring to we get Horizontal component = 3000 cos 20.268° = 2814.2 N 

Vertical component = 3000 sin 20.268° = 1039.2 N 

Components along and normal to crank: 

The force makes angle α + 60° = 20.268 + 60 = 80.268° with crank. 

∴ Component along crank = 3000 cos 80.268° = 507.1 N 

Component normal to crank = 3000 sin 80.268° = 2956.8 N

5729.

A system of forces acting on a body resting on an inclined plane is as shown in Fig. Determine the resultant force if θ = 60° and if W = 1000 N; N = 500 N; F = 100 N; and T = 1200 N.

Answer»

In this problem, note that selecting X and Y axes parallel to the plane and perpendicular to the plane is convenient.

Rx = ΣFx = T – F – W sin θ 

= 1200 – 100 – 1000 sin 60° = 233.97 N 

Ry = ΣFy = N – W cos 60° = 500 – 1000 cos 60° = 0. 

∴ Resultant is force of 233.97 N directed up the plane.

5730.

What will be the y intercept of the 5000 N force if its moment about A is 8000 N-m in Fig.

Answer»

5000 N force is shifted to a point B along its line of action (law of transmissibility) and it is resolved into its x and y components (Fx and Fy as shown in)

Fx = 5000 cos θ = 5000 x  4/5 = 4000 N 

and Fy = 5000 sin θ  = 5000 x 3/5 = 3000 N. 

By Varignon's theorem, moment of 5000 N force about A is equal to moment of its component forces about the same point. 

8000 = 4000 × y + 3000 × 0 

∴ y = 2 m.

A cable car used for carrying materials in a hydroelectric project is at rest on a track formed at an angle of 30° with the vertical. The gross weight of the car and its load is 60 kN and its centroid is at a point 800 mm from the track half way between the axles. The car is held by a cable as shown in Fig. The axles of the car are at a distance 1.2 m. Find the tension in the cables and reaction at each of the axles neglecting friction of the track.

Answer»

Let T be the tension in the cable and the reaction at the pair of wheels be R1 and R2 as shown in Fig.

Now, ∑ of forces parallel to the track = 0, gives 

T – 60 sin 60° = 0 

T = 51.9615 kN. 

Taking moment equilibrium condition about upper axle point on track, we get 

R1 × 1200 + T × 600 – 60 sin 60° × 800 – 60 cos 60° × 600 = 0 

R1 = 23.6603 kN. 

∑ of forces normal to the plane = 0, gives 

R1 + R2 – 60 cos 60° = 0 

R2 = 30 – 23.6603 

R2 = 6.3397 kN.
