Romeo Juliet summary

Answer»

Romeo and Juliet fall in love at a party. But they come from families which hate each other. They are sure they will not be allowed to marry. Nevertheless, helped by Friar Laurence, they marry in secret instead. Unfortunately, before their wedding night Romeo kills Juliet's cousin in a duel, and in the morning he is forced to leave her. If he ever returns to the city, he will be put to death.

Juliet's parents told her she must marry Paris. Her parents do not know she is already married. She refuses in the beginning, but later agrees because she plans to fake her death and escape to be with Romeo forever; again with the help of Friar Laurence.

Frair Laurence designs the plan. He gives Juliet a sleeping potion. She appears to be dead and was put in a tomb. However, Romeo does not know about the plan, visits her grave, thinks she is dead, and kills himself. When Juliet finally wakes up, she discovers that Romeo is dead and then kills herself.

Identify the correct statement:A. `0.1 M NaCl` and `0.1 M` glucose solution are isotonicB. `0.1 M NaCl` and `0.3 M` glucose solution are isotonicC. The boiling point of `0.1 m` aqueous urea solution is less the `0.1 m` aqueous KCl solutionD. The freezing point of `0.1 m` glucose solution is less than `0.1 m KCl` solution.

Answer» Correct Answer - C
`pi_(NaCl) = i xx CRT " " pi_(glr cos e) = 1 xx 0.1 xx RT`
`= 2 xx 0.1RT " " = 0.1 RT`
`= 0.2 RT " " pi_(NaCL) != pi_(glu cos e)`
`DeltaT_(b(NaCl)) = 2 xx 0.1K_(f) " " DeltaT_(b(urea)) = 0.1 K_(f)`
Hence `DeltaT_(b(urea)) lt Delta T_(b(NaCl))`
`Delta T_(f(glucos e)) = 0.1 xx K_(f) " " Delta T_(f(KCl)) = 2 xx 0.1 xx K_(f)`
`Delta T_(f) = 0.2 K_(f)`
`T_(f(glucos e)) gt T_(f(KCl))`

A reaction is carried out at `600 K`. If the same reaction is carried out in the presence of catalyst at the same rate and same frequency factor, the temperature required is `500 K`. What is the activation energy of the reaction, if the catalyst lowers the activation energy barrier by `20 KJ//mol` ?A. 100B. 120C. 80D. None of these

Answer» Correct Answer - B
`k = Ae^(- Ea//R xx 600)`
`k^(c ) = Ae^((Ea - 20)/(R - 500))`
`k = k^(c )`
`(Ea)/(R xx 600) = ((Ea - 20))/(R xx 500)`
`(Ea)/(6) = (Ea - 20)/(5)`
`20 = Ea - (5)/(6)Ea`
`Ea = 20 xx 6`
`Ea = 120 KJ//mol`

The enthalpy of neutralisation of a strong acid by a string base is `-57.32 kJ mol^(-1)`. The enthalpy of formation of water is `-285.84 kJ mol^(-1)`. The enthalpy of formation of hydroxyl ion isA. `+ 228.52 KJ//mol`B. `- 114.26 KJ//mol`C. `- 228.52 KJ//mol`D. `+ 114.2 KJ//mol`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
`H^(+) (aq). + OH^(-) (aq) rarr H_(2)O (l)`
`Delta_(r )H = Delta_(f)H_(H_(2)O) - (Delta_(f)H_((H^(+)(aq))) + Delta_(f)H_((OH^(-))))`
`-57.32 = 285.84 - (0 + Delta_(f)H_((OH^(-)(aq))))`
`Delta_(f)H_(OH^(-)(aq)) = -228.52 KJ//mol`
29.

What are limitation of VB theory

Answer»

As we pointed out earlier, nothing is perfect! In a similar way, the Valence Bond theory is also not perfect. It has its own set of limitations. 

They are:

  • It fails to explain the tetravalency of carbon.
  • This theory does not discuss the electrons’ energies.
  • The assumptions are about the electrons being localized to specific locations.

 How would you account for the following? (a) [Ti (H2O)6]3+ is coloured while [Sc (H2O)6]3+ is colourless. (b) [Fe (CN)6]3- is weakly paramagnetic while Fe (CN)6]4- is diamagnetic. (c) [Ni (CO)4 ] possess tetrahedral geometry while is [Ni (CN)4]2- is square planner.

Answer»

(a) In [Ti (H2O)6 ]3+, metal ion has d1 configuration. Because of this unpaired electron, d-d transition is possible and hence, it appears coloured.In [Sc (H2O)6] 3+, no unpaired electron is present in the d-subshell of metal ion hence, d-d transition is not possible, therefore, it would be colourless. 

 (b) In [Fe (CN)6]3- ,Fe is in +3 oxidation state and has 5 unpaired electrons in its d-orbitals. This complex is formed due to d2 Sp3 hybridisation, after the pairing of d- electrons (because of strong ligand field of CNions).These six hybridised orbitals receive six electron pairs from six molecules of CNbut one electron in d-subshell remains unpaired , hence it is weakly paramagnetic. But in [Fe (CN)6]4-, the oxidation state of iron is +2 and has d6 configuration. These six electrons get paired under the influence of ligand molecules and no electron remains unpaired in d-orbitals, therefore, it is diamagnetic. 

(C) In [Ni (CO)4], Ni is in zero oxidation state and is Sp3 oxidised. As a result, it possess tetrahedral geometry. While in [Ni (CN)4]2- , Ni is in +2 oxidation state and is dsp2 hybridised. As a result, it is square planner

In the given circuit the potential at point B is zero, the potential at points A and D will be A. `V_(A) = 4 V, V_(D) = 9V`B. `V_(A) = 3V,V_(D) = 4V`C. `V_(A) = 9V, V_(D) = 3V`D. `V_(A) = 4V, V_(D) = -3V`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
From the given circulit
`V_(A) - V_(B) = 2 xx 2 = 4V`
According to question `V_(B) =0`
Point D is connected to positive terminal of battery of emf 3V.
As, `V_(B) -V_(C) = 2xx 3 = 6V`
`therefore V_(D) - V_(C) = V_(D) - (-6) = 3V`
` rArr V_(D) = 3 - 6 = - 3V`

An alternating voltage `E=200sqrt(2)sin(100t)` is connected to a `1` microfarad capacitor through an AC ammeter. The reading of the ammeter shall beA. 10 mAB. 22 mAC. 40 mAD. 80 mA

Answer» Correct Answer - B
`l_(V) = (E_(V))/(X_(C)) = (E_(V))/(1//omegaC) = E_(V) (omegaC)`
` = 220 xx 100 xx 10^(-6)`
`= 22 xx 10^(-3)A = 22mA`

The magnetic flux `phi` (in weber ) in a closed circuit of resistance 10`Omega` varies with time t (in secnod) according to equation `phi=6t^(2)-5t+1`. The magnitude of induced current at `t=0.25` s isA. `0.2A`B. 0.6AC. 1.2AD. 0.8A

Answer» Correct Answer - A
We know that `e = - (dphi)/(dt)`
` = -(d)/(dt) (6t^(2) - 5t+1)`
` e=- 12 t + 5`
` e= - 12 xx 0.25 + 5 = 2V`
`therefore " " I =(e )/(R) = (2)/(10) = 0.2A`
Reading of the ammeter.

In series LCR circuit `R = 18 Omega` and impedence is `33 Omega`. An Vrms voltage `220 V` is applied across the circuit . The true power consumed in AC circuit isA. 220WB. 400WC. 600WD. 800W

Answer» Correct Answer - D
`P=e_(rms). i_(rms) cos phi`
`=e_(rms.) (e_(rms))/(z). R/z`
`=(220 xx 220 xx 18)/(33 xx 33)`
`=(20 xx 20 xx 18)/(3 xx 3)`
`=20 xx 20 xx 2=800 W`.

The magnetic flux `(phi)` linked with the coil depends on time `t` as `phi=at^(n)`, where `a` and `n` are constants. The emf induced in the coil is `e`A. If `0 lt n lt 1, e ne 0` and |e| decrease with timeB. If `n = 1`, e is constantC. If `n gt1, |e|` increase with timeD. None of these

Answer» Correct Answer - 4
`phi = "at"^(n)`
`e = (dphi)/(dt) = "nat"^(4-1)`
If `0 lt n lt 1` power of t is - ve hence `tdarreuarr`
If n=1 , `phi`= at , `e=(dphi)/(dt) = a`
If `n gt 1`
So from the expression
`e = nat^(n-1)`
`edarr as t uarrs`

A plane progessive wave of frequency `25 Hz`, amplitude `2.5 xx 10^-5 m` and initial phase zero propagates along the negative x-direction with a velocity of `300 m//s`. At any instant, the phase difference between the oscillations at two points `6 m` apart the line of propagation is _____ and the corresponding amplitude difference is _____ m.

Answer» `u = 300 m//s` and `n = 25`
`:. lamda = (u)/(n) =(300)/(25) = 12 m`
For a path difference of `lamda`, the phase difference is `2 pi`.
For a path difference of `6 m`, the phase difference is
`(2 pi xx 6)/(lamda) = pi rad`
The amplitude is same at both points, hence amplitude different is zero.
