If the equations 4x + 7y = 10 and 10x + ky = 25 represent coincident lines, then find the value of k ?

Answer»

The given equations are : 4x + 7y – 10 = 0 and 10x + ky – 25 = 0 

Here, a1 = 4, b1 = 7, c1 = –10 

a2 = 10, b2 = k, c2 = – 25 

For the given equation to represent coincident lines, 

\(\frac{a_1}{a_2}\)=\(\frac{b_1}{b_2}\)=\(\frac{c_1}{c_2}\) i.e., \(\frac{4}{10}\) = \(\frac{7}{k}\) = \(\frac{-10}{-25}\)

\(\Rightarrow\) \(\frac{4}{10}\) = \(\frac{7}{k}\) \(\Rightarrow\) \(\frac{70}{4}\) = \(\frac{35}{2}\)

Four prime numbers are written in ascending order of their magnitudes. The product of the first three is 715 and that of the last three is 2431. What is the largest given prime number ? (a) 5 (b) 19 (c) 17 (d) 23

Answer»

Answer is : (c) 17

Let the four prime numbers in the ascending order of their magnitudes be a, b, c and d. 

Given, a × b × c = 715 and b × c × d = 2431 

HCF of (abc and bcd) = bc

 ∴ Now, 715 = 11 × 13 × 5 and 2431 = 11 × 13 × 17

⇒ HCF of 715 and 2431 = 11 × 13 = 143 

∴ Largest number (d) = \(\frac{bcd}{bc} = \frac{2431}{143}\) = 17

12121.

If \(\frac{2}x+\frac{3}y= -\frac{9}{xy}\) and \(\frac{4}x+\frac{9}y= \frac{21}{xy}\), find the values of x and y.

Answer»

The given pair of equation is 

2/x + 3/y = 9/xy ………(i) 

4/x + 9/y = 21/xy ………(ii) 

Multiplying (i) and (ii) by xy, we have 

3x + 2y = 9 ……….(iii) 

9x + 4y = 21 ………(iv) 

Now, multiplying (iii) by 2 and subtracting from (iv), we get 

9x – 6x = 21 – 18 ⇒ x = 3/3 = 1 

Putting x = 1 in (iii), we have 

3 × 1 + 2y = 9 ⇒ y = 9−3/2 = 3 

Hence, x = 1 and y = 3.

12122.

Nitrogen is found in gaseous state.

12126.

What is the property of nitric acid which allows it to react with copper ?

Answer»

Nitric acid works as an oxidising agent. 

12127.

State why nitric acid is a strong oxidising agent and yields varying products such as NO, NO2 on reaction with metals,non-metals etc.

Answer»

The oxidising property of nitric acid is based on the fact that when nitric acid undergoes decomposition, it yields nascent oxygen, which is very reactive.

2HNO3 (cone.) → H2O + 2NO2 + [O] 

2HNO3 (dil.) → H2O + 2NO + 3[O]

This nascent oxygen oxidises metals, non-metals, organic and inorganic compounds. During the process, nitric acid itself gets reduced to various products (NO, NO2 , N2O, NH3 , etc.) depending upon the concentration of the acid, reaction temperature and activity of the metal with which it is reacting.

12128.

Identify the following substances: a dilute acid B which does not normally give hydrogen when reacted with metals but does give a gas when it reacts with copper.

Answer»

HNO3 (Nitric acid)

12129.

State the cation responsible for turning moist neutral litmus red on reaction with dil. HNO3 . 

Answer»

Hydrogen |H+ | ions and Nitrate ions. 

12130.

Explain the following:  Dil. HNO3 is generally considered a typical acid but not so in its reaction with metals. 

Answer»

 It is because it does not liberate hydrogen gas when treated with metals. Instead it liberates oxides of nitrogen, such as nitric oxide, nitrogen dioxide, etc., as it is very powerful oxidising agent

12131.

The method of extraction of metal from its ore is known as(1) Purification(2) Concentration(3) Calcination(4) Metallurgy

12134.

Give the reactions of Iodine with NH3.

Answer»

Reaction of Iodine with NH3- It reacts with liquid ammonia to form nitrogen tri-iodide

2NH3 + 3I2 → 2NI3NH3 + 3HI

Nitrogen tri-iodide behaves as explosive in the dry state. Vapours of iodine are liberated when it explodes.

8NH3NI3 → 6NH4I + 9I4 + 5N2

12135.

Describe the reducing nature of group 1 and group 2 elements.

Answer»

The reducing power of an element is measured in terms of standard electrode potential (E0) corresponding to the following transformation i.e, tendency to lose electron.

M(s) \(\longrightarrow\) M+(aq) + e-

i. Reducing nature of group 1 elements:

All the alkali metals have high negative values of E0 which indicates that they have strong reducing nature and hence, they can be used as strong reducing agents. 

Lithium is the most powerful and sodium is the least powerful reducing agent in the group.

ii. Reducing nature of group 2 elements:

  • All the alkaline earth metals have high negative values of stanard reduction potential (E0) and are strong reducing agents.
  • However, reducing power of alkaline earth metals is less than that of alkali metals.
