Calculate the mass of urea (NH2CONH2) required in making 2.5 kg of 0.25 molal aqueous solution.

Answer»

0.25 molal aqueous solution of urea means that 0.25 mole of urea are present in 1 kg of water  
Moles of urea = 0.25mole 
Mass of solvent (water) = 1 kg = 1000 g 
Molar mass of urea (NH2CONH2) = 60 g mol
1. 0.25moleofurea=0.25mol×60gmol1=15g 
Total mass of solution=1000+15g=1015g=1.015kg

 Thus; 1.015 kg of solution contain urea = 15g×2.5kg of solution will require urea

\(\frac{15g}{1.015kg}\times2.5kg=37g\)

\( 3 \sqrt{x}-\frac{1}{4 \sqrt{x}}=\sqrt{7} \), find the value of\( 81 x^{2}+\frac{1}{256 x^{2}} \)

Answer»

\(3\sqrt x - \frac1{4\sqrt x} = \sqrt 7\)

Squaring on both sides, we get

\(9x + \frac1{16x} - 2(3\sqrt x) \left(\frac1{4\sqrt x}\right) = 7\)    \((\because (a-b)^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab)\)

⇒ \(9x + \frac1{16x} = 7 + \frac32 = \frac{17}2\)

Again squaring on both sides

\(81x^2 + \frac1{256x^2}+ 2(9x)\left(\frac1{16x}\right)= \frac{17}2\)

⇒ \(81x^2 + \frac1{256x^2} = \frac{17}2- \frac98= \frac{68-9}{8}= \frac{59}{8}\)

Hence, the value of \(81x^2 + \frac1{256x^2} = \frac{59}{8}\).

Answer»

Correct option is (C) \(|\vec a \times \vec b |^2\)

\([\vec a + \vec b \,\,\,\,\vec b\,\,\,\, \vec a \times \vec b]\)

\(= (\vec a + \vec b).(\vec b \times (\vec a \times \vec b))\)

\(= (\vec a + \vec b).((\vec b.\vec b)\vec a - (\vec b.\vec a)\vec b)\)

\(= (\vec b.\vec b).((\vec a + \vec b).\vec a)- (\vec b .\vec a)((\vec a + \vec b).\vec b)\)

\(= (\vec b.\vec b).(\vec a .\vec a + \vec b. \vec a)- (\vec b .\vec a)(\vec a .\vec b + \vec b.\vec b)\)

\(= (\vec b.\vec b)(\vec a .\vec a)+ (\vec b.\vec b)(\vec b . \vec a) - (\vec b . \vec a)(\vec a.\vec b)- (\vec b .\vec b) (\vec b .\vec a)\)

\(= |\vec b|^2 \,\,|\vec a|^2 - (\vec a. \vec b)^2 \)     \((\because \vec a. \vec b = \vec b . \vec a)\)

\(= |\vec b|^2 \,\,|\vec a|^2 - (|\vec a| \,|\vec b|\,cos\theta)^2 \)

\( = |\vec a|^2 \,|\vec b|^2 - |\vec a|^2 \,|\vec b|^2 cos ^2 \theta\)

\(= |\vec a|^2 \,|\vec b|^2 (1 - cos^2\theta)\)

\(= |\vec a|^2\, |\vec b|^2 \, sin^2\theta\)

\(= (|\vec a| \,|\vec b|\, sin\theta )^2\)

\(|\vec a \times \vec b |^2\)

The coordinate of foot of perpendicular drawn from the point A(1, 0, 3) to the join of the point B(4, 7, 1) and C(3, 5, 3) are1. \(\left( \frac 5 3 , \frac 7 3 , \frac {17}{3}\right)\)2. (5, 7, 17)3. \(\left( \frac 5 3 , \frac {-7} 3 , \frac {17}{3}\right)\)4. None of these

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : \(\left( \frac 5 3 , \frac 7 3 , \frac {17}{3}\right)\)

Concept:

Line in 3D: 

Equation of line passing through a point P(x1, y1, z1) with direction cosine l, m, n:

\(\frac{{{\rm{x}} - {{\rm{x}}_1}}}{{\rm{l}}} = \frac{{{\rm{y}} - {{\rm{y}}_1}}}{{\rm{m}}} = \frac{{{\rm{z}} - {{\rm{z}}_1}}}{{\rm{n}}}\)

Equation of line passing through two points P(x1, y1, z1) and Q(x2, y2, z2):

\(\frac{{{\rm{x}} - {{\rm{x}}_1}}}{{{{\rm{x}}_2} - {{\rm{x}}_1}}} = \frac{{{\rm{y}} - {{\rm{y}}_1}}}{{{{\rm{y}}_2} - {{\rm{y}}_1}}} = \frac{{{\rm{z}} - {{\rm{z}}_1}}}{{{{\rm{z}}_2} - {{\rm{z}}_1}}}\)

 

Note:

Let direction ratios of a line be (l1, m1, n1) and for another line be (l2, m2, n2) then:

If lines are perpendicular, l1l2 + m1m2 + n1n2 = 0

If lines are parallel\(\frac{{{{\rm{l}}_1}}}{{{{\rm{l}}_2}}} = \frac{{{{\rm{m}}_1}}}{{{{\rm{m}}_2}}} = \frac{{{{\rm{n}}_1}}}{{{{\rm{n}}_2}}}\)

 

Calculation:

Given:

A = (1, 0, 3)

B = (4, 7, 1)

C = (3, 5, 3)

Direction ratio of line BC is (-1, -2, 2)

Equation of BC,

\(\frac{{{\rm{x}} - 4}}{{3 - 4}} = \frac{{{\rm{y}} - { 7} }}{{5-7}} = \frac{{{\rm{z}} - 1}}{{3-1}}\)

\(\Rightarrow \frac{{{\rm{x}} - 4}}{{-1}} = \frac{{{\rm{y}} - { 7} }}{{-2}} = \frac{{{\rm{z}} - 1}}{{2}} =\rm k\)

⇒ x = -k + 4, y = -2k + 7 and z = 2k + 1

General point on BC be D = (-k + 4, -2k + 7, 2k + 1) and let D be foot of perpendicular.

Direction ratio of line AD will be (-k + 4 - 1), (-2k + 7 - 0), (2k + 1 - 3)

⇒ (-k + 3, -2k + 7, 2k - 2) 

Now, since the line BC and AD are perpendicular, l1l2 + m1m2 + n1n2 = 0

So, (-k + 3) × -1 + (-2k + 7) × -2 + (2k - 2) × 2 = 0

⇒ k - 3 + 4k - 14 + 4k - 4 = 0

⇒ 9k = 21

⇒ k = \(\frac 73\)

So, D = \(\left( \frac 5 3 , \frac 7 3 , \frac {17}{3}\right)\)

Find the co-ordinates of the foot of the perpendicular drawn from the origin to the plane 5y + 8 = 01. \(\left( {0, - \frac{8}{5},0} \right)\)2. \(\left( {\frac{8}{{25}},0,0} \right)\)3. \(\left( {0, \frac{8}{5},0} \right)\)4. \(​​\left( {0, - \frac{{18}}{5},2} \right)\)

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : \(\left( {0, - \frac{8}{5},0} \right)\)

Calculation:

The equation of the plane is 5y + 8 = 0, i.e.,

0x + 5y + 0z = -8

The direction ratio are (0, 5, 0)

Let the co-ordinates of the foot of the perpendicular be (x, y, z)

So equation of the perpendicular line will be 

\(\rm {x-0\over 0}= {y-0\over 5}= {z-0\over 0}\) = r (say)

x = 0, y = 5r and z = 0

As the point satisfy the equation of the plane, 

∴ 5y + 8 = 0

5(5r) + 8 = 0

r = \(-8\over25\)

So y = 5r = \(-8\over5\)

∴ The coordinates are (0, \(-8\over5\), 0)

8618.

For what value of α + β, the three points (α, β), (5, 0), (0, 5) will be collinear?1. 52. -253. 04. 25

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 5

Concept:

If three points are collinear then the area of the triangle formed from these 3 points will be 0.

[as the collinear points lie on the same straight line]

Analysis:

Area of triangle passing through the points

(x, y), (x2, y2) and (x3, y3) is given by:

\(A = \frac{1}{2}\left[ {x,\;\left( {{y_2} - {y_3}} \right) + {x_2}\left( {{y_3} - {y_1}} \right) + {x_3}\left( {{y_1} - {y_2}} \right)} \right]\)

(x1, y1 = α, β); (x2, y2 = 5, 0); (x3, y3 = 0, 5)

∴ \(A = \frac{1}{2}\left[ {\alpha \left( { - 5} \right) + 5\left( {5 - \beta } \right) + 0} \right]\) 

-5α + 25 – 5β = 0

α + β = 5

Find the values of k so the line \(\frac{{{\rm{x}} + 4}}{{2{\rm{}}}} = \frac{{4 - {\rm{y}}}}{-2} = \frac{{{\rm{2z}} - 4}}{{\rm 2k}}\) and \(\frac{{{\rm{x}} +3}}{\rm -k} = \frac{{\rm{y-3}}}{{\rm{2}}} = \frac{{{\rm{z}} + 1}}{5}\) are at right angles.1.  4/32.  -4/33.  -2/34. 2/3

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 :  -4/3

Concept:

Let the two lines have direction ratio’s a1, b1, c1 and a2, b2, c2 respectively.

Condition for perpendicular lines: a1a2 + b1b2 + c1c2 = 0

Calculation:

Given lines are  \(\frac{{{\rm{x}} + 4}}{{2{\rm{}}}} = \frac{{4 - {\rm{y}}}}{-2} = \frac{{{\rm{2z}} - 4}}{{\rm 2k}}\) and \(\frac{{{\rm{x}} +3}}{\rm -k} = \frac{{\rm{y-3}}}{{\rm{2}}} = \frac{{{\rm{z}} + 1}}{5}\) 

Write the above equation of a line in the standard form of lines

\( \Rightarrow \frac{{{\rm{x}} + 4}}{{2{\rm{}}}} = \frac{-{(\rm y - {\rm{4})}}}{-2} = \frac{2{{(\rm{z}} - 2)}}{{\rm 2k}} \Leftrightarrow \frac{{\left( {{\rm{x}} +4 } \right)}}{{\rm{2}}} = \frac{{{\rm{y}} - 4}}{{ 2}} = \frac{{{\rm{z}} - 2}}{{ \rm k}}\)

So, the direction ratio of the first line is (2, 2, k)

\(\frac{{{\rm{x}} +3}}{\rm -k} = \frac{{\rm{y-3}}}{{\rm{2}}} = \frac{{{\rm{z}} + 1}}{5}\)

So, direction ratio of second line is (-k, 2, 5)

Lines are perpendicular,

∴ (2 × -k) + (2 × 2) + (k × 5) = 0

⇒ -2k + 4 + 5k = 0

⇒ 3k + 4 = 0

∴ k = -4/3

8620.

If α and β are the lengths of the perpendiculars from the points (2, 3,-5) and (3,1,1) respectively from the plane x + 2y - 2z - 9 = 0, then α and β are the roots of the equation:1. x2 + 5x - 6 = 02. x2 - x - 6 = 03. x2 - 5x + 6 = 04. x2 - x + 6 = 0

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : x2 - 5x + 6 = 0

Concept:

Perpendicular Distance of a Point from a Plane

Let us consider a plane given by the Cartesian equation, Ax + By + Cz = d and a point whose coordinate is, (x1, y1, z1).

Then the distance between the point and the plane is given by

 \(\left| {\frac{{A{x_1}\; + \;B{y_1}\; + \;C{z_1} - \;d}}{{\sqrt {{A^2}\; + \;\;{B^2}\; + \;{C^2}} }}} \right|\)

Quadratic equation with roots α and β:

Quadratic equation with roots α and β is given by

(x - α)(x - β) = 0  

Calculation:

We know that the distance between the point and the plane is given by

\(\left| {\frac{{A{x_1}\; + \;B{y_1}\; + \;C{z_1} - \;d}}{{\sqrt {{A^2}\; + \;\;{B^2}\; + \;{C^2}} }}} \right|\)

So, the distance of the point (2, 3, -5) from the given plane

 \(α\ =\ \left| {\frac{{2\; \times \;1\; + \ {2}\ \times \;3\; + \;(-\ 2)\ \times \ (-\ 5)\; - \;9}}{{\sqrt {{1^2}\; + \;\;{{\left( {-2} \right)}^2}\; + \;{{\left( 2\right)}^2}} }}} \right|\ =\ 3\)

Similarly, the distance of the point (3, 1, 1) from the given plane 

\(β \ =\ \left| {\frac{{3\; \times \;1\; + \ {2}\ \times \;1\; + \;(-\ 2)\ \times \ 1\; - \;9}}{{\sqrt {{1^2}\; + \;\;{{\left( {-2} \right)}^2}\; + \;{{\left( 2\right)}^2}} }}} \right|\ =\ 2\)

Therefore, quadratic equation with roots 3 & 2 will be

(x - 2)(x - 3) = 0

⇒ x2 - 3x - 2x + 6 = 0

⇒ x2 - 5x + 6 = 0

Hence, option 3 is correct.

For the reaction aA+ bB → rR, which of the following is true?(a) (frac{-r_A}{a})=(frac{-r_B}{b}) ≤ (frac{r_R}{r} )(b) (frac{-r_A}{a}) ≥(frac{-r_B}{b}) ≤ (frac{r_R}{r} )(c) (frac{-r_A}{a})=(frac{-r_B}{b}) ≤ (frac{r_R}{r} )(d) (frac{-r_A}{a})≤(frac{-r_B}{b}) ≤ (frac{r_R}{r} )

Answer» Correct answer is (c) (frac{-r_A}{a})=(frac{-r_B}{b}) ≤ (frac{r_R}{r} )

The explanation is: The rates of degradation of reactants and formation of product are related to each other as (frac{-r_A}{a} = frac{-r_B}{b} = frac{r_R}{r} ), where a, b and c denote the stoichiometry. The rate of disappearance of any reactant in turn is the rate of formation of products.

The fractional change in volume of a system for variable volume systems, expressed in terms of the number of moles is ____(a) ε = (frac{Change , in , number , of , moles , of , the , reaction , system , when , the , reaction , is , complete}{Total , number , of , moles , fed} )(b) ε = (frac{Total , number , of , moles , fed}{Change , in , number , of , moles , of , the , reaction , system , when , the , reaction , is , complete} )(c) ε = (frac{Number , of , moles , left , when , the , reaction , is , complete}{Total , number , of , moles , fed} )(d) ε = (frac{Total , number , of , moles , fed}{Number , of , moles , left , when , the , reaction , is , complete} )

Answer» Right option is (a) ε = (frac{Change , in , number , of , moles , of , the , reaction , system , when , the , reaction , is , complete}{Total , number , of , moles , fed} )

To elaborate: ε is the fractional change in volume of the reaction system between no conversion and complete conversion of the reactant. It is the ratio of the change in moles of the reaction mixture to achieve complete conversion to the number of moles fed initially.
