An object is placed at a distance of 10 cm from a convex mirror of focal length 15 cm. Find the position and nature of the image. 

Answer»

Given f =  +15 cm, u = – 10 cm, v = ?

By mirror formula

1/v + 1/10 = 1/15 …. (i)

Put the given values in eq. (i) with their sign conventions 

1/v - 1/10 = 15

We get, v = 6 cm

image is formed at 6 cm away from the mirror on right side i.e. virtual

m = –v/u  =  –6/-10  = 0.6

Here, m is less than unity and also positive so image will be diminished, erect and virtual in nature.

Which reaction is NOT feasible? (A) \( 2 KI + Br _{2} \longrightarrow 2 KBr + I _{2} \) (B) \( 2 KBr + I _{2} \longrightarrow 2 KI + Br _{2} \) (C) \( 2 KBr + Cl _{2} \longrightarrow 2 KCl + Br _{2} \) (D) \( 2 H _{2} O +2 F _{2} \longrightarrow 4 HF + O _{2} \)

Answer»

Correct option is (B) 2KBr + I2 → 2KI + Br2

As we know the oxidizing power of halogens decrease as we move from top to bottom, it means the order of oxidizing strength will be

F2 > Cl2 > Br2 > I2

 ∵ Br2 is more powerful oxidizing agent than I2 it means I2 can not reduce Br- to Br2.

∴ 2KBr  + I2 → KI + Br2 is not a feasible reaction.

A ball is thrown vertically upwards with velocity 10 m/s from a trolley moving horizontally with velocity of 8 m/s. A person standing on ground observe its motion. The range observed by him is (g = 10m/s).

Answer»

Vertical velocity of ball  uy​=v1​

Horizontal velocity of ball  ux​=v2​

Horizontal range of projectile   R=2ux​uy​​/g

⟹ R=

2v1​v2​​/g = 2* 10*8/ 10= 16 m

Horizontal velocity of ball is trolley

S = uHt

R = uHt

Sg = ugt - \(\frac12\)agt2

Sy = 0

uyt - \(\frac12\)gt2 = 0

uyt = \(\frac12\)gt2

uy = \(\frac{gt}2\)

t = \(\frac{2u_y}g\) 

t = \(\frac{2\times10}{10}\) 

t = 2 sec

Range observed by him is

Given uH = 8m/s

R = uHt

R = 8 x 2

R = 16 m

One man and one woman together can complete a piece of work in 12 days. A man alone can complete the work in 30 days. In how many days can one woman alone complete the work?1. 27 days2. 51 days3. 18 days4. 20 days

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 20 days

Given:

One man and one Woman together can complete a piece of work = 12 days

A man can complete the work = 30 days

Concept used:

Total work = LCM

Formula used:

Efficiency = Work/Time

Calculation

Let efficiency of a man and a woman be M and F respectively

Total efficiency of a man and a woman = M + F

Work done a man and a woman in 12 days = 12(M + F)

Total work done a man in 30 days = 30M

According to the question,

⇒ 12(M + F) = 30M

⇒ 12 M + 12F = 30 M

⇒ 12F = 18 M

⇒ F ∶ M = 3 ∶ 2

Total work = total efficiency × together work done

Total work = 5 × 12 = 60

One woman completes the work = 60/3 = 20 days

One woman completes the work in 20 days

500ml of 0.1M HCOOH (formic acid) is mixed with 1500ml of 0.05M H2SO4 solution calculate pH of the solution

Answer»

In formic acid solution, millimole of COOH2 = Molarity x Volume(ml)
                                              = 0.1 x 500
                                              = 50
  So, Millimole of H+ in COOH2 = 2 x 50
In H2SO4 solution, millimole of H2SO4 = 0.05 x 1500
                                                        = 75
  So, millimole of H+ in H2SO4 = 2 x 75
Total millimole of H+ = (100+150) = 250
Total volume of mixture = 1500+500 = 2000ml.
final concentration of H+ = 250/2000
                                   0.125 M
So, final pH= -log[H+] = -log(0.125)

= 0.90

2.4 g of pure Mg (at. Mass = 24) is dropped in 100 mL of 1 M HCl . Which of the following statement is wrong ?A. `1.12` L of hydrogen is produce as S.T.P.B. `0.05` mol of magnesium is left behindC. HCl is the limiting reagent .D. None of these

Answer» Correct Answer - D
`{:("Mg" " " + " " 2HCl " " to MgCl_(2) + H_(2)), (2.4 g """""" " (1M, 100"ml")" ), (0.1 "mol" " " 0.1 "mol"), (underline(-0.05)), (0.05 "mol"):}`
HCl is a limiting reagent
`0.1` mol HCl give `(0.1)/(2)` mol `H_(2)` or `1.12` lit `H_(2)` at STP
`0.05` mol Mg left
`therefore` None of these is wrong.

Calculate the heat of reaction of the following reaction : C6H12O6(s) + 6O2(g) → 6CO2(g) + 6H2O(g) ; ΔH = ? C(graphite) + O2(g) → CO2(g); ΔH = -395.0 kJ  ....(1)H2(g) + O(g) → H2O(l); ΔH = -269.5 kJ ....(2)6C(graphite) + 6H2(g) + O2(g) → C6H12O6; ΔH = -1169.8 kJ .....(3)

Answer»

Multiplying equation (1) and (2) each by 6 reversing (3), we get, 

6C(graphite) + 6O2(g) → 6CO2(g); ΔH = -2370 kJ …(4) 

6H2(g) + 3O2(g) → 6H2O(l); ΔH = -1616.4 kJ … (5) 

C6H12O6(s) → 6C(graphite) + 3O2(g) ; ΔH = +1169.8 kJ …..(6) 

Adding (4), (5) and (6), 

C6H12O6(s) +6O2(g) → 6CO2(g) +6H2O(g)

ΔHg (C6H12O6) = -2370.0 – 1616.4 + 1169.8 = -2816.6 k
