How many moles and how many grams of NaCl are present in 250 ml of a 0.50 M NaCl solution?

Answer» Molarity = Moles ofsolute/Volume of solution (L)

0.50 = No . of moles of NaCl/ 250/1000

If the sum and the difference of two expressions is 5x2 – x – 4 and x2 + 9x – 10 respectively, then the expressions are : (a) (4x2 + 8x – 6) and (4x2 – 10x + 2)(b) (2x2 + 4x – 3) and (3x2 – 10x – 6) (c) (3x2 + 4x – 7) and (2x2 – 5x + 3) (d) (3x2 + 4x + 7) and (2x2 – 5x – 3)

Answer»

(c) (3x2 + 4x – 7) and (2x2 – 5x + 3

Let the two expressions be A and B. 

Then, A + B = 5x2 – x – 4 .......…(i) A – B = x2 + 9x – 10 …(ii)

Adding eqn (i) and (ii), we get 

2A = (5x2 + x2 ) + (–x + 9x) + (–4 – 10)

= 6x2 + 8x –14

\(\Rightarrow\)A = 3x2 + 4x – 7

\(\therefore\) From (i), B = (5x2 – x – 4) – A 

= (5x2 – x – 4) – (3x2 + 4x – 7) 

= 2x2 – 5x + 3

16.

If \(\frac{5X+6}{(2+X)(1-X)}\) = \(\frac{a}{2+X}+\frac{b}{1-X}\), then the values of a and b respectively are :(a) \(-\frac{5}{3},\frac{6}{5}\)(b) \(\frac{5}{3},-\frac{6}{5}\)(c) \(-\frac{4}{3},\frac{11}{3}\)(d) \(\frac{4}{3},-\frac{11}{3}\)

Answer»

(c) \(-\frac{4}{3},\frac{11}{3}\)

\(\frac{5X+6}{(2+X)(1-X)}\) = \(\frac{a}{(2+X)}\) + \(\frac{b}{(1-X)}\)

\(\Rightarrow\) \(\frac{a(1-X)+b(2+X)}{(2+X)(1-X)}\) = \(\frac{5X+6}{(2+X)(1-X)}\)

\(\Rightarrow\)\(\frac{a-aX+2b+bX}{(2+X)(1-X)}\) = \(\frac{5X+6}{(2+X)(1-X)}\)

\(\Rightarrow\) \(\frac{(a+2b)-X(a-b)}{(2+X)(1-X)}\) = \(\frac{5X+6}{(2+X)(1-X)}\)

Equating the coefficient of x and constant term on both the sides of the equation, we get

a + 2b = 6   ......…(i)

a – b = –5 ...........(ii)

Subtracting eqn (ii) from eqn (i), we get

3b = 11

\(\Rightarrow\) b = \(\frac{11}{3}\)

Putting the value of b in (ii), we get

a - \(\frac{11}{3}\) = -5

\(\Rightarrow\)a = -5 + \(\frac{11}{3}\) = \(\frac{-15+11}{3}\) = \(-\frac{4}{3}\).

17.

The values of x and y satisfying (x + 3) (y – 5) = xy + 39 and (x – 2) (y + 3) = xy – 40 respectively are : (a) 6 and 8 (b) 6 and –8 (c) –6 and 8 (d) –6 and –8

Answer»

(c) –6 and 8

(x + 3)(y – 5) = xy + 39

\(\Rightarrow\) xy + 3y – 5x – 15 = xy + 39

\(\Rightarrow\) –5x + 3y = 54  5x – 3y = –54 ..........(i)

(x – 2) (y + 3) = xy – 40

\(\Rightarrow\) xy – 2y + 3x – 6 = xy – 40

\(\Rightarrow\) –2y + 3x = –34 \(\Rightarrow\) 3x – 2y = – 34 .............(ii)

Multiply (i) by 3 and (ii) by 5 and then subtract eqn (ii) from eqn (i). 

so that we get solution.

18.
