Calculate the osmotic pressure in pascals exerted by a solution prepared by dissolving `1.0g` of polymer of molar mass `185,000` in `450mL` of water at `37^(@)C`.

Answer» Correct Answer - `30.96 Pa`
`W_(2)=1.0g, Mw_(2)=185000g mol^(-1)`
`T=37^(@)C=37+273=310K`
`R=8.314 K Pa L K ^(-1) mol^(-1)`
`=8.314xx10^(3) Pa L K^(-1)mol^(-1)`
`V=450mL=0.450 L,` osmotic pressure `(pi)=?`
`n_(2)=(W_(2))/(Mw_(2))=(1.0g)/(185,000g mol^(-1))=(1)/(185000)mol`
Applying the formula , we get
`pi=MRT=(n_(2))/(V(i n L))xxRT`
`=(1)/(185000xx0.450L)xx8.31410^(3)Pa L K^(-1)mol^(-1)xx310K` ltbr. `=30.96Pa`

Calculate the `(a)` molality, `(b)` molartiy, and `(c)` mole fraction of `KI` if the density of `20% (` mass `//` mass `)` aqueous `KI` is `1.202 g m L^(-1)`.

Answer» Correct Answer - `a. 1.5 mol kg^(-1)` `b. 1.448M` `c. 0.0263`
`W_(2)=20g,W_(sol)=100g`
`W_(1)=100-20=80g`
`m=(W_(2)xx1000)/(Mw_(2)xxW_(1))=(20xx1000)/(166xx80)=1.5mol Kg^(-1)`
`b.` `Mw_(2)` of `Kl=39+127=166g mol^(-1)`
`M+(% by mass xx10xxd_(sol))/(Mw_(2))=(20xx10xx1.202)/(166)`
`=1.448M`
`c.` `CHMi_(2)=(n_(2))/(n_(1)+n_(2))=(W_(2)//Mw_(2))/(W_(1)//Mw_(1)+W_(2)//Mw_(2))`
`(20//166)/(80//18+20//166)`
`=(0.12)/(4.44+0.12)=(0.12)/(4.56)=0.0263`

If the resistance of a conductivity cell containing 0.01 mol/L KCl solution at 298 K is 1000 Ω, then the conductivity of the cell is [cell constant = 0.219 cm-1]

Answer»

Correct option is (c)

As we know  =1/resistance x cell constant

= 0.219 cm-1 / 1000Ω

= 2.19 x 10-4 5cm-1

Conductivity of 0.01 mol/ l kcl solution will be 

= 2.19 x 10-4 / 0.01 x 1000

= 21.9 S cm-1

Estimate the value of Aggretate Demand in a economy if : (a) Autonomous Investment (I) = 100 crores (b) Marginal Propenstiy to save = 0.2 (c) Level of Income (Y) = 4,000 crores (d) Autonomous Consumption Expenditure(c) = 50 crores. OR In an economy C = 200 + 0.5 Y is the compsumption function where C is the consumption expenditure and Y is the national income . Investment expenditure is ₹ 400 crores . Is the economy in equilibrium at an income level ₹ 1,500 crores ? Jusifty your answer.

Answer» Aggregate Demand (AD) function is given as:
AD = C+ I
AD = `{barC + b(Y)} + I`
`barc = 50` (Given)
b or MPC = 1 - MPS = 1 -0.2 = 0.8
Substituting the values of of `barC` and b in AD function, we get :
AD = {50 + 0.8 ( 4,000)}+ 100 = ₹ 3,350 crores
OR
No, the Economy is not in a state of equilibrium at 1,500 crores
Given : Consumption Function , C= 200 + 0.5 Y
Investment Expenditure (I) = 400 crores
At the equilibrium level
Y =C + I
Substituting the value from the question:
Y= { 200 + 0.25Y} + 400
Y-0.5 Y = 600
0.5 Y = 600
Y = 600/ 0.5 = ₹ 1,200 crores.
The equilibrium level of income is ₹ 1,200 crores. The given income ₹ crores is greater than equilibrium level of income . Therefore, the economy is not in equilibrium.

In next year, find the ratio between the number of students of Science and Arts stream.1. 1 : 52. 35 : 163. 7 : 54. 4 : 75. 16 : 35

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 7 : 5

Given:

Let number of students in Science and Arts stream be 4a and 5a respectively.

Calculation:

The number of students in Science stream in the next year = 4a × 140/100 = 28a/5

The number of students in Arts stream in the next year = 5a × 80/100 = 20a/5

∴ Required ratio = (28a/5) : (20a/5) = 7 : 5

A current of 5 ampere is flowing through a wire of 60cm in length? This wire is kept perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field of 20 tesla? Calculate the value of force acting on this wire

Answer»

When a wire that carries a current I is placed in a magnetic field of intensity B it will experience a magnetic force which is given by the formula

F = qvBsinθ

where  v is the velocity of charges, here v = l/t

so the force on the wire will be F = q/tlBsinθ

F= qvBsinθ

since the wire is kept perpendicular to the field the angle will be 90⁰ the  current flowing through the wire I = 5A

length of the wire l = 60 cm = 0.60 m

the magnetic field intensity B = 20T

substituting the given values the force acting on the wire is 

F = 5 x 0.60 x 20 sin90 = 60N

An artificial satellite revolves round the earth with a relative velocity of 800 m/s. If acceleration due to gravity is 9 m/s2 and gravitational force is 3600 N, calculate its kinetic energy.

Answer»

Relatively velocity of satellite, v = 800 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity, g = 9 m/s2

Gravitational force, m.g = 3600 N

∴ Mass, m = \(\cfrac{3600}g\) = \(\cfrac{3600}9\) = 400 kg.

Kinetic energy = \(\cfrac12\) mv2\(\cfrac12\) x 400 x (800)2 J = 128 × 106 J or 128 MJ.

Three resistances of 2Ω each are connected to a 2V battery as shown in the front figure. Then ........

Answer»

Given circuit resistance are parallel combination then 

\(\frac1R=\frac1R_1-\frac1R_2+\frac1R_2\) 

\(\frac1R=\frac12+\frac12+\frac12\) 

\(\frac1R=\frac32\) 

R = 2/3
