Which of the following statements are correct? A \( \quad \sin 1>\sin 1^{\circ} \)B \( \tan 2<0 \)C \( \tan 1>\tan 2 \)D \( \tan 2<\tan 1<0 \)

Answer»

Correct option is (A) sin 1 > sin 1°

Relation between degree and radian is

180° = π radian

⇒ 1° = π/180 radian = 3.14/180 < 1

⇒ 1° < 1

∴ sin 1° < sin 1 ( ∵ tan θ is always increasing function)

 ∵ 2 > 0

∵ 2 > 1 > 0

⇒ tan 2 > tan 1 > tan 0

⇒ tan 2 > tan 1 > 0

158 grams of potassium permanganate is reacted with ferrous sulfide in the presence of hydrochloric acid, approximately how much ferric sulfate will it produce?(a) 111 grams(b) 169 grams(c) 254 grams(d) 399 grams

Answer» Right choice is (a) 111 grams

For explanation: The balanced chemical reaction is 18KMnO4 + 10FeS + 32H2SO4 -> 18MnSO4 + 5Fe2(SO4)3 + 9K2SO4 + 32H2O, => weight of ferric sulfate = (158/158)*(5/18)*400 = 111.1 grams ≈ 111 grams.

Consider the following reaction at \( 600^{\circ} C \). \[ 2 SO _{2}( g )+ O _{2}( g ) \rightleftharpoons 2 SO _{3}( g ) ; \quad K_{C}=4.00 \] A mixture was prepared with \( \left[ SO _{3}\right]=0.50 M ,\left[ O _{2}\right]=0.35 M \) and \( \left[ SO _{2}\right]=0.0 M \) Thus, equilibrium concentration of \( O _{2} \) is (a) \( 0.0450 M \) (b) \( 0.035 M \) (c) \( 0.35 M \) (d) \( 0.45 M \)

Answer»

Correct option is (d) 0.45 M

Given,

\(2SO_2(g) + O_2(g) \leftrightharpoons 2SO_3(g)\)

\(K_C = \frac{[SO_3]^2}{[SO_2]^2[O_2]^2}\)

initially0.0M0.35M0.5M
at equilibrium0.0 - 2x0.35 - x0.5 + 2x

\(\therefore K_C= \frac{(0.5 + 2x)^2}{(-2x)^2(0.35 -x)}\)

⇒ \(4 = \frac{0.25 + 4x^2 + 2x}{4x^2 (0.35 -x)}\)

⇒ \(16x^2 (0.35 - x) = 0.25 + 4x^2+ 2x\)

⇒ \(5.6 x^2 - 16x^3= 0.25+4x^2+ 2x\)

⇒ \(16 x^3 - 1.6 x^2 + 2x + 0.25 = 0\)

⇒ \(x = - 0.10633\)

∴ Concentration of O2 at equilibrium

\(= 0.35 - (-0.10633)\)

\(= 0.35 + 0.10633\)

\(= 0.456 M\)

What do you understand by activation of adsorption `: ` How is it achieved.

Answer» Activation of adsobent means, increasing the adsorbing power of an adsobent. This can be done by increasing the surface area of the adsobent which can be achieved in any of the following ways `:`
`a.` By removing the gases adsorbed, `i.e.,` wood charcoal can be activated by heating it between `650K` and `1330K` in vacuum or super heated steam.
`b.` By breaking the adsorbent into small pieces.
`c.` By making the surface of adsorbent rough.

Why is furan less reactive than thiophene?

What is the difference between displacement and double displacement reaction?Give suitable chemical equations for the same.

Answer»

Displacement reaction:
Displacement reaction is a chemical reaction in which a more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from its compound.

Zn+2HCl⟶ZnCl2+H2

Double displacement reaction:
A type of chemical reaction where two compounds react, and the positive ions (cation) and the negative ions (anion) of the two reactants switch places, forming two new compounds or products is called double displacement reactions.

MgCl2+2KOH⟶Mg(OH)2 +2KCl

Calculate the pKa of lactic acid, given that when the concentration of lactic acid is 0.010M and the concentration of lactate is 0.087M, the pH is 4.80.

Answer»

pH = pKa + log [lactate]/[lactic acid] 

pKa = pH – log [lactate]/[lactic acid] 

= 4.80 – log (0.087/0.010) 

= 4.80 – log 8.7

= 3.9.

What mass of \( NaCl (58.5 g / mol ) \) must be dissolved in \( 65 g \) water to lower the freezing point by \( 7.5^{\circ} C \) ? \( Kr ^{-1.86} \) \( K Kg / mol \) and \( i \) for \( Na Cl =1.86 \).

Answer»

As we know 

\(\Delta T_f = iK_fm\)

i = Van't hoff factor

⇒ \(7.5 ^\circ K = 1.86 \times 1.86 \times \frac{\frac{w}{58.5}\times 1000}{65}\)

⇒ \(w = \frac{7.5 \times 65 \times 58.5}{1.86 \times 1.86 \times 1000}\)

w = 0.24 g
