Which one of the following are correctly arranged on the basis of the property indicated:(a) I2 < Br2 < F2 < Cl2 [increasing bond dissociation enthalpy](b) H2O > H2S < H2Te < H2Se [increasing acidic strength](c) NH3 < N2O < NH2OH < N2O5 [increasing oxidation state](d) BiH3 < SbH3 < AsH3 < PH3 < NH3 [increasing bondangle]

Answer»

Answer is (d) BiH3 < SbH3 < AsH3 < PH3 < NH3 [ increasing bond angle]

(a) I2 < Br2 > F2 > CI2. [ increasing bond dissociation enthalpy]: incorrect order , correct order is Cl2 > Br2 > F2 > I2.

Answer» Correct Answer - `a. 15xx10^(-4)g, b. 1.25xx10^(-25)m`
a. `pp m=(W_(2))/("Weight of solution")xx10^(6)`
`(15)/(10^(6))=(W_(2))/(Weight of solution)`
`%` By mass `=(15)/(10^(6))xx100=15xx10^(-4)g`
b. `Mw` of `CHMCl_(30=119.5g`
`W_(2)=15xx10^(-4)g`
Weight of solution `=100g`
Weight of solvent `=W_(1)=(100-15xx10^(-4))`
`=99.998g`
`m=(W_(2)xx1000)/(Mw_(2)xxW_(1))=(15xx10^(-4)xx10^(3))/(119.5xx99.998)`

Acid should be added to water but not water to the acid. Why?

Answer»

1. The dissolving of an acid or base in water is an highly exothermic process. Care must be taken while mixing concentrated HNO3 or concentrated H2SO4 with water.

2. The acid must always be added slowly to water with constant stirring. 

3. If water is added to a concentrated acid, the heat generated may cause the mixture to splash out and cause bums. 

4. The glass container may also break due to excessive local heating.

In the figure shown, blocks `P` and `Q` are in contact but do not stick to each other. The lower face of `P` behaves as a plane mirror. The springs are in their natural lengths. The system is released from rest. Then the distance between `P` and `Q` when `Q` is at the lowest point first time will be A. `(2mg)/(K)`B. `(mg)/(K)`C. `(4mg)/(K)`D. 0

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Both blocks loose contact immediately after the release
`T_(P) = 2pi sqrt((m)/(4K)) .T_(Q) = 2 pi sqrt((m)/(K))`
`:. T_(Q) = 2T_(P)`
Q comes at lowest position at time `(T_(Q))/(2)` travelling a distance `(2mg)/(K)` downwards.
In time `(T_(Q))/(2)`, i.e. time period of `P(T_(P))` the block `P` come back to original position
`:.` Time distance P and Q is `(2 mg)/(K)`

Monochromatic light of wavelength `lamda` passes through a very narrow slit S and then strikes a screen placed at a distance D = 1m in which there are two parallel slits `S_(1)` and `S_(2)` as shown. Slit `S_(1)` is directly in line with S while `S_(2)` is displaced a distance d to one side. The light is detected at point P on a second screen, equidistant from `S_(1)` and `S_(2)` When either slit `S_(1)` or `S_(2)` is open equal light intensities `I` are measured at point P. When both slits are open, the intensity is three times as large i.e. `3 I`. If the minimum possible wavelength is `Nd^(2)`, then find the value of `N (d lt lt D)`

Answer» Correct Answer - 3
`2I = I+I+2I cos phi`
`phi =pi//3 rArr Delta =(lamda)/(6)`
Also `Delta = sqrt(D^(2) +d^(2))-D`
`=Dsqrt(1+(d^(2))/(D^(2)))-D=D(1+(d^(2))/(D^(2)))^((1)/(2))-D`
`=D(1+(1)/(2)(d^(2))/(D^(2)))-D=(1)/(2)(d^(2))/(D)`
`:. (1)/(2)(d^(2))/(D)=(lamda)/(6)`
or `lamda=3 (d^(2))/(D)`.

Free `^238 U` nuclei kept in a train emit alpha particles. When the train is stationary and a uranium nucleus decays, a passenger measues that the separation betwee the alpha particle and the recoiling nucleus becomes `x` in time `t` after the decay.

Which are the nucleotides “portions” that bind in the formation of nucleic acids? What is meant by the 5’ and 3’ extremities of nucleic acids?

Answer»

The phosphate group of one nucleotide binds to the pentose of the other nucleotide and so on to make the polynucleotide chain.

Each extremity of a DNA or RNA chain can be distinguished from the other extremity according to their terminal chemical entity. The phosphate-ended extremity is called 5’-extremity and the pentose-ended extremity is called 3’-extremity. So DNA or RNA chains can be run along the 5’-3’ way or along the 3’-5’ way. These ways are important in several biological functions of DNA and RNA since some reactions specifically occur following one way or the other way.
