4051.

An open vessel contains 200 mg of air at 17°C. What weight percentage of air would be expelled if the vessel is heated to 117°C?

Answer»

Suppose vol. of 200mg of air at 17°C =V mL

Apply Charle‘s Law V1/ T1=V2/ T2

V1/ 290 = V2/390 

V2 =1.34 V1 ,

volume of air expelled = 1.34 V1 –V1 =o.34 V1 mL

% of air expelled: 0.34 V1x 100 /V1 = 34%

4052.

Define: Liquid state

Answer»

Liquid state is the intermediate state between solid state and gaseous state.

4053.

Water has Tc = 647.1 K and Pc = 220.6 bar. What do these values imply about the state of water under ordinary conditions?

Answer»

The Tc and Pc values of water are very high compared to the room temperature and common atmospheric pressure. As a result, water exists in liquid state under ordinary condition of temperature and pressure.

4054.

The critical temperature (Tc) and critical pressure ( pc) of CO2 are 30.98°C and 73 atm respectively. Can CO2 ( g) be liquefied at 32°C and 80 atm pressure?

Answer»

CO2 cannot be liquefied at 32°C by applying a pressure of 80 atm. This is because the temperature is greater than critical temperature of CO2.

4055.

Critical temperature for CO2 is 30.98 °C. What does this mean? Explain other two critical constants.

Answer»

It means that CO2 cannot be liquefied above 30.98°C which is its critical temperature(Tc). Critical pressure(Pc) – it is the pressure required to liquefy the gas at critical temperature. Critical volume( Vc) – it is the volume of one mole of the gas at Tc and Pc.

4056.

In which of the following cases, water will have the highest and the lowest boiling point? i. Water is boiled in an open vessel. ii. Water is boiled in a pressure cooker. iii. Water is boiled in an evacuated vessel.

Answer»

Higher the pressure to which a liquid is exposed, higher will be its boiling point. The pressure to which water is exposed is maximum in the pressure cooker and minimum in the evacuated vessel. Therefore, boiling point of water is highest in a pressure cooker and lowest in an evacuated vessel.

4057.

CO2 has Tc = 38.98 °C and Pc = 73 atm. How many phases of CO2 coexist at i. 50 °C and 73 atm ii. 20 °C and 50 atm.

Answer»

i. 50 °C and 73 atm represent a condition for CO2 above its Tc . Therefore, under this condition CO2 exists only as single phase.

ii. 20° C and 50 atm represent a condition for CO2 below its Tc . Therefore, under this condition two phases of CO2 , namely, liquid and gas can coexist.

4058.

  • No development took place in these countries. 
  • These countries could not develop industrially.
4059.

If you were a citizen of Britain, could you support its colonisation? As an Indian citizen could you support or reject colonisation. Give a brief account of your views.

Answer»

Attitudes towards colonialism have varied greatly from time to time and from place to place. I think this is ever present truth that the strong dominate the weak. 

If I were a citizen of Britian or as Indian I strongly oppose this colonisation. Because every living being in this world has the freedom in the world. So I don’t like to arrest the others’ freedom.

4060.

  • These colonies were impoverished during colonial powers.

Crops cultivated : 

  • They were cultivating food crops and the colonies in all three continents were forced to cultivate commercial crops. 
  • There were shortage of food items and famines and droughts were frequent.

Religion : 

  • In Asia people were Hindus, Muslims and Buddhists. In Indonesia Muslims were massacred and forced to convert into Roman Catholism. 
  • In other continents also the Catholic Church played important role in the governance of the colonies.

Use of natural resources : 

  • All the natural resources like gold, diamonds, silver, iron, coal, tin, rubber, silk, copper were plundered and taken into their countries. 
  • Colonial powers developed industries in their countries with these resources.

4072.

How does addition of a small amount of curd to fresh milk help in the formation of curd? Mention a nutritional quality that gets added to the curd.ORHow does ‘starter’ added to milk help it to set into curd?

Answer»

When a small amount of curd as starter is added to fresh milk, millions of lactic acid bacteria(LAB) present in the starter grow in milk and convert it to curd. During this process, acids are produced by LAB that coagulate and partially digest the milk proteins.

LAB increases vitamin B12 content along with other vitamins in the curd.

4073.

Why do we add an inoculum of curd to milk for curdling it ?

Answer»

Innoculum contains Lactobacilli which curdles milk into curd with lactic acid. Lactobacillus converts lactose sugar of milk into lactic acid which causes coagulation and partial digestion of milk protein casein as a result milk gets changed into curd.

Answer»

बूस्टर के नियम से, n = tan ip

A spherical rubber balloon carries a charge that is uniformly distributed over its surface. As the balloon is blown up and increases in size, how does the total electric flux coming out of the surface change? Give reason.

Answer»

Total electric flux through the surface = \(\cfrac{q}{\varepsilon_0}\)

As charge remains unchanged when size of balloon increases, electric flux through the surface remains unchanged.

A charge q is placed at the centre of a cube of side l. What is the electric flux passing through two opposite faces of the cube?

Answer»

By symmetry, the flux through each of the six faces of the cube will be same when charge q is placed at its centre.

\(\therefore\varphi E=\cfrac16.\cfrac{Q}{\varepsilon_0}\) 

Thus, electric flux passing through two opposite faces of the cube = 2.\(\cfrac16.\cfrac{q}{\varepsilon_0}\)

What is the force between two small charged spheres having charges of 2 × 10–7C and 3 × 10–7 C placed 30 cm apart in the air?

Answer»

Given,

The Charge on the 1st sphere and 2nd sphere is q1 = 2 x 10-7 C and q2 = 3 x 10-7 C

The distance between two charges is given by r = 30cm = 0.3m

The electrostatic force between the spheres is given by the relation :

F = 1/4πϵo​ x q1​q2​​/r2

Here,

ϵo​ = permittivity of free space and,

1/4πϵo​ = 9 x 109 Nm2C-2   

Force, F = 9x109x2x10-7x3x10-7 / (0.3)2​ = 6 x 10‑3 N.

The force between the charges will be repulsive as they have the same nature.

Classify the following properties into diamagnetism and ferro magnetism.1. In non uniform magnetic field, it more from high to law field.2. Magnetic field lines are repelled from this material, If we place in a external magnetic field.3. susceptibility greater than one, <0, +ve4. Iron, Nickel, Cobalt are the examples

Answer»

1. Diamagnetism 

2. Diamagnetism 

3. Ferro magnetism 

4. Ferro magnetism

4097.

From molecular view point, discuss the temperature dependence of susceptibility for diamagnetism, Para magnetism and ferromagnetism.

Answer»

Diamagnetism is due to orbital motion of electrons developing magnetic moments opposite to applied field and hence is not much affected by temperature.

Paramagnetic and ferromagnetism is due to alignments of atomic magnetic moments in the direction of the applied field. As temperature increases, this alignment is disturbed and hence susceptibilities of both decrease as temperature increases.
