Give reason for diagonal relationship of lithium with magnesium.

Answer»

Both Lithium and magnesium have small size and high charge density. The electronegativities of Li is 1.0 and Mg is 1.2. They are low and almost same. Their ionic radii are similar. Hence they show similarities which is known as diagonal relationship between first element of a group with the second element in the next higher group.

‘All the postulates of the kinetic molecular theory of gases are correct.’ 1. Do you agree with the statement? 2. If no, write the wrong postulates of this theory. 3. Give justification.

Answer»

1. No.

2. 

  • Volume of the molecules of a gas is negligibly small in comparison to the space occupied by the gas.
  • There is no force of attraction between the molecules of a gas.

3. If assumption (i) is correct, the p vs V graph of experimental data (real gas) and that theoritically calculated from Boyle’s law (ideal gas) should coincide. But this never happens. If assumption (ii) is correct, the gas will never liquify. But gases do liquify when cooled and compressed.

8074.

Mention postulates of kinetic molecular theory of gases.

Answer»

1. All gases are made up of very large numbers of minute particles called molecules.

2. Intermolecular forces of attraction (or) repulsion are negligible.

3. The pressure exerted by a gas is due to the collisions made by the gas molecules on the walls of the container.

4. The average kinetic energy of the molecules is directly proportional to the absolute temperature.

5. The molecules are involved in rapid, random movement. During their motion, they collide with each other and also against the walls of the container.

Calculate the molarity of water if its density is 1000 kg/m3.

Answer»

Molarity of water means the number of moles of water in 1 litre of water
1L of water = 1000 cm3 = 1000 g (1000 kg/m3 = 1g/cm3)
1000 g of water = 1000/18 = 55.56 moles
Molarity = 55.56 M

8078.

Which aqueous solution has higher concentration, 1 molar or 1 molal solution of the same solute? Give reason.

Answer»

1 molar aqueous solution has higher concentration than 1 molal solution. A molar solution contains one mole of solute in one litre of solution while one molal solution contains one mole of solute in 1000 g of solvent. If density of water is 1, then one mole of solute is present in 1000 mL of water in 1 molal solution while one mole of solute is present in less than 1000mL of water in 1 molar solution (1000 mL sol = amount of solute + amount of solvent). Thus 1 molar solution is more concentrated.

Evaluate \(\rm \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x\rightarrow \infty} \frac{x}{\sqrt{1+2x^2}}\)

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : \(\frac{1}{\sqrt 2}\)

Calculation:

We have to find the value of \(\rm \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x\rightarrow ∞} \frac{x}{\sqrt{1+2x^2}}\)

\(\rm \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x\rightarrow ∞} \frac{x}{\sqrt{1+2x^2}}\)       [Form \(\frac{∞}{∞}\)]

This limit is of the form \(\frac{∞}{∞}\), Here, We can cancel a factor going to ∞  out of the numerator and denominator.

\(\rm \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x\rightarrow ∞} \frac{x}{\sqrt{1+2x^2}}\)

\(\rm \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x\rightarrow \infty} \frac{x}{x\sqrt{\frac{1}{x^2}+2}}\)

Factor x becomes ∞ at x tends to ∞, So we need to cancel this factor from numerator and denominator.

\(\rm \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x\rightarrow \infty} \frac{1}{\sqrt{\frac{1}{x^2}+2}}\)

\(\frac{1}{\sqrt{\frac{1}{\infty^2}+2}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{0+2}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt 2}\)

Find:\( \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{1-\cos x \cdot \sqrt{\cos 2 x}}{x^{2}} \)

Answer»

\(\lim\limits_{x\to 0}\frac{1-cosx\sqrt{cos2x}}{x^2}\) (0/0 case)

\(=\lim\limits_{x\to 0}\frac{-cosx\times\frac1{2\sqrt{cos2x}}\times-2sin2x+sin x\sqrt{cos x}}{2x}\) (By using D.L.H. Rule)

\(=\lim\limits_{x\to 0}\frac{cos x}{\sqrt{cos2x}}\times\frac{sin 2x}{2x}+\lim\limits_{x\to 0}\frac12\frac{sin x}x\sqrt{cos2x}\) 

\(=\lim\limits_{x\to 0}\frac{cos x}{\sqrt{cos2x}}\) \(\frac12\lim\limits_{x\to 0}\sqrt{cos2x}\) (\(\because\lim\limits_{x\to 0}\frac{sin x}x=1\))

 = \(\frac{cos 0}{\sqrt{cos 0}}+\frac12\sqrt{cos 0}\) 

 = 1 + 1/2 = 3/2

Hence, \(\lim\limits_{x\to 0}\frac{1-cosx\sqrt{cos2x}}{x^2}=\frac32\)

Answer»

\(\lim\limits_{x \to π/4}\frac{sinx - cosx}{x - \frac{\pi}4}\) (0/0 type)

\(=\lim\limits_{x \to \pi/4}\frac{cosx + sinx}1\) 

\(=cos\frac{\pi}4+sin\frac{\pi}4\) 

\(=\frac{1}{\sqrt2}+\frac1{\sqrt2}=\frac2{\sqrt2}\) \(\sqrt2\) 

8090.

Evaluate : \( \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{1-\cos 3 x}{x^{2}} \)

Answer»

\(\lim\limits_{x\to0}\frac{1-cos3x}{x^2}\) 

\(=\lim\limits_{x \to 0}\cfrac{1-(1-\frac{(3x)^2}{2!}+\frac{(3x)^4}{4!}-....)}{x^2}\)

\(=\lim\limits_{x \to 0}\cfrac{\frac{9x^2}2-\frac{81x^4}{24}+...}{x^2}\)

\(=\lim\limits_{x \to 0}\frac92-\frac{81}{24}x^2+....\)

\(=\frac92\) (By taking limit)

540 g of ice at 0 degre is mixed with 540 g of water at 80 degree celcius. The temperature of final mixture is

Answer»

Ice at 0°C has a total latent heat of  Q=m*L = 540*80 = 43200 cal.  

Now for water to come at 0°C and it's state to remain as water, we need to remove heat from it which is given by,  

Q= m*Cp*(∆T) = 540* 1* 80 = 43200 cal.  

So, we can see that  

Heat released by water to reach from 80°C to 0°C = heat required by ice to melt into water at 0°C.  

So, the ice will melt to water and it's temperature will be 0°C.  

Hence, the final state would be water at 0°C.

Brass has a tensile strength `3.5xx10^(8) N//m^(2)`. What charge density on this material will be enough to break it by electrostatic force of repulsion? How many excess electrons per square `Å` will there then be? What is the value of intensity just out side the surface?

Answer» We know that electrostatic force on acharged conductor is given by `(dF)/(ds)=sigma^(2)/(2 epsilon_(0))`
So the conductor will break by this force if, `sigma^(2)/(2epsilon_(0)) gt` Breaking strength i.e., `sigma^(2) gt 2xx9xx10^(-12)xx3.5xx10^(8)` i.e. `sigma_("min")=(3sqrt(7))xx10^(-2)=7.94xx10^(-2)(C//m^(2))`
Now as the charge on an electron is `1.6xx10^(-19)C`. the excess electrons per `m^(2)=(7.9xx10^(-2))/(1.6xx10^(-19))=4.96xx10^(17)` And for square `Å(4.96xx10^(17))/10^(20)=4.96xx10^(-3)`
Futher as in case of a conductor near its surface `E=sigma/epsilon_(0)=(7.94xx10^(-2))/(9xx10^(-12))=8.8xx10^(9) V//m`
