If 24 men can do a work in 15 days, then in how many days 36 men can do the same work?1. 16 days2. 15 days 3. 11 days4. 10 days

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 10 days

Given:

M1 = 24

D1 = 15

M2 = 36

Formula Used:

(M1 × D1) = (M2 × D2)

Where M1 → Initial Men

D1 → Initial day

M2 → Final men

D2 → Final day

Calculation:

(M1 × D1) = (M2 × D2)

⇒ 24 × 15 = 36 × D2

⇒ D2 = 10

The time taken by 36 men to do the same work is 10 days.

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 25 days

Given:

M1 = 25

D1 = 15

M2 = 15

Formula Used:

(M1 × D1) = (M2 × D2)

Where M1 → Initial Men

D1 → Initial day

M2 → Final men

D2 → Final day

Calculation:

(M1 × D1) = (M2 × D2)

⇒ 25 × 15 = 15 × D2

⇒ D2 = 25

The time taken by 15 men to do the same work is 25 days.

What do you mean by vapour pressure? What happens to the vapour pressure, when (i) volatile solute is dissolved in solution. (ii) non-volatile solute is dissolved in solution?

Answer»

Vapour Pressure:

Pressure exerted by vapours of a liquid on its child layer at equilibrium is called vapour pressure.

(i) When volatile solute is added to another liquid solution then the resultant vapour pressure may increase, decrease or may remain same depending on the strength of solute-solved interaction.

(ii) When non-volatile solute is dissolved in solution, net vapour pressure decreases.

The effect of absorption of `CO_(2)` gas on acidity of water is explained by following three equilibrium reactions. `CO_(2)gArrCO_(2(aq))` `CO_(2(aq))+H_(2)OhArrH_(aq)^(+)+HCO_(3(aq))^(-)` `HCO_(3(aq))^(-)+H_(2)OhArrH_(3)O_(aq)^(+)+CO_(3)^(2-)` Which of the following will increase the solubility of `CO_(2)` gas in water?A. increasing the temperatureB. increasing partial pressure of `CO_(2)` above waterC. addig `HNO_(3)` in waterD. Adding sodium acetate in water.

Answer» Correct Answer - B::D
As T increases, solubility of gases in water decreases. `HNO_(3)` generates `H^(+)` ions which will suppress second ad third reaction, which in turn suppresses first reaction backward, decreasing solubility of `CO_(2)`. Sodium acetate generates `OH^(-)` ions due to hydrolysis of acetate, which will shift second and third reactions forward, increasing solubility of `CO_(2)`
