“Any major change in diet in recent weeks ?”“Doctor, naturally. I have to eat more now to keep up my energy.” said the patient painfully.“And it shows. Particularly around the waist. What time do you go to bed ?”“Oh, around ten at night. I keep the same hours as humans as I work for them.”“Have you tried anything to promote sleep ?”“Haven’t I, now? I have tried a walk just before bedtime.I have tried a hot drink; I have tried a cold drink. I have tried a full meal.I have tried no meal But nothing works.”“Well,” said the doctor. “Doctors have recommended one remedy for sleeplessness- counting imaginary sheep.”(1) How it showed that the dog ate more those days?(2) In what respect does the dog compare itself with humans?(3) What did the dog try to promote sleep ?(4) What is the sure remedy recommended by doctors for sleeplessness?(5) What is this passage about?

De-Broglie hypothesized that material particles have wave like properties. Figure shows a small particle in a box. The particle simply bounces back and forth at constant speed. As particles also have wave like properties it can be considered to be a wave reflecting back and forth from the ends of the box. The reflections will create a standing wave analogous to standing wave on a string tied at both ends. Since a standing wave confined to a region can have only selected wavelength, momentum of the particle is quantized. We can safely assume that such a particle only has kinetic energy. This energy must also be quantized. Mark the incorrect option.A. confined particle has only centain discrete values of energy.B. Particle in box behaves as stading wave.C. The particle cannot be at rest.D. Matter waves are electromagnetic in nature.

If A + B + C = (3π/2) prove that Cos 2A + Cos 2B + Cos 2C = 1 – 4 SinA.Sin B.Sin C.

Answer»

A + B + C = 3π/2 ---------(1) 

L.H.S = cos 2A + cos 2B + cos 2C 

= 2 cos (A + B). cos (A – B) + 1 – 2 sin2

= 2 cos (270° – C). cos (A – B) – 2 sin2 C 

= 1 – 2 sin C [cos (A – B) –2 sin2

= 1 – 2 sin C[cos (A – B) + sin C] 

= 1 – 2 sin C [cos (A – B) + sin (270° - bar(A + B))]

= 1 – 2 sin C [cos (A – B) – cos (A + B)]

= 1 – 2 sin C [2 sin A sin B]

Find the chord of contact of (0, 5) with respect to the circle x2 + y2 – 5x + 4y – 2 = 0

Answer»

Equation of the chord of contact is S1 = 0 

i.e., xx1 + yy1 + g(x + x1) + f(y + y1) + c = 0 

Equation of the circle is 

S = x2 + y2 – 5x + 4y – 2 = 0 

Equation of the chord of contact is 

x. 0 + y. 5 – 5/2 (x + 0) + 2(y + 5) – 2 = 0 

Multiplying with 2 

10y – 5x + 4y + 20 – 4 = 0 

– 5x + 14y + 16 = 0 

or 5x – 14y – 16 = 0

35.3 g of element M is reacted with nitrogen to produce 43.5 g of compound M3N2. What is (i) the molar mass of the element and (ii) name of the element?In an experiment, 1.90 g of NH3 reacts with 4.96 g of O2.

Answer»

We have given,

Weight of element M = 35.3g

Weight of compound M3N2 = 43.5g

3M + N2 → M3N2 (balance equation)

From above balance equation, use can clearly see that 3 mole of element M react with one mole of Nitrogen to form one mole M3N2.

Let say. molar mass of element M = x g.

∴ Number of moles of element M = \(\frac {35.3}{x}\)mole and 

Number of moles of M3N2 =  \(\frac {43.5}{28 + 3x}\) mole.

∴ 3 mole of element produce = 1 mole M3N2

∴ 1 mole of element M produce = \(\frac 13\) mole of M3N2

∴ \(\frac {35.3}{x}\) mole of element M produce = \(\frac {35.3}{3x}\) mole of  M3N2 

but \(\frac {43.5}{28 + 3x}\) mole of M3N2 formed

Therefore - \(\frac {43.5}{28 + 3x}\) = \(\frac {35.3}{3x}\)

= 130.5x = 988.4 + 105.9 x

= 24.6x = 988.4

x = 40.18g.

i) Hence, the molar mass of element M will be 40.18g

ii) We know that, change on Nitrogen is -3.

∴ Oxidation state of M will be

= Let say - M has oxidation state  y then,

3y + 2 (-3) = 0

= 3y = 6

= y = +2

it means element has oxidation state (valency) +2 and molar mass 40.17g.

We know that Ca has valency +2 and it has molar mass approx 40.078

Therefor compound will be Ca3N2 

And the name of compound is Calcium nitride.

44.

A 35.3 g of element M is reacted with nitrogen to produce 43.5 g of compound M3N2. What is (i) the molar mass of the element and (ii) name of the element?

Answer»

A 35.3 g of element M is reacted with nitrogen to produce 43.5 g of compound M3N2.

Generally, the equation for the Chemical Reaction  is mathematically given as

3M+N2=M3N2

Therefore

moles of N2 is given as

m= mass of N2/molar mass

Where

mass of N2=43.5-35.3

mass of N2=8.2

Therefore

m =8.2/32

m=0.25625mole

Since 2 moles of N2 reacts with 3mols of M

Hence, 0.25625 mole of N2 reacts with 3mole of M

x=3/2*0.256

x=0.384mol

In conclusion, the molar mass of M

M = mass of x/mole of x

M = 35.3/0.384

M=91.927g/mol

A particle is thrown vertically upward with a speed `u` from the top of a tower of height `h` from ground level, If after first impact with ground it just reaches to height `h` from ground the coeffecient of restitution for the collision is `:-`A. `1`B. `u^(2)`C. `sqrt((2gh)/(U^(2)+2gh))`D. `sqrt(2gh)/(U)`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
Ans.(3)
Speed with which the particle hit the ground
`v=sqrt(u^(2)+2gh)` As the particle just rises to height `h`, speed just after impact `v^(2)=sqrt(2gh)`
But `v^(2)=cvrArre=(V^(t))/(V)=sqrt((2gh)/(U^(2)+2gh))`

How many different sums can be formed with the denominations Rs. 50, Rs. 100, Rs. 200, Rs. 500 and Rs. 2,000 taking at least three denominations at a time?1. 162. 153. 144. 10

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 16

Given:

Denominations 50, 100, 200, 500 and 2,000

Calculation:

Let each denomination is single

Total denominations = 5

According to the question:

Taking at least three denominations at a time

⇒ 3 denominations, 4 denominations, 5 denominations

⇒ 3 denominations out of 5 in 5C= 10 ways

⇒ 4 denominations out of 5 in 5C4 = 5 ways

⇒ 5 denominations out of 5 in 5C5 = 1 way

Total ways = 10 + 5 + 1 = 16

∴ The answer is 16.

A room is heated by a radiator that has a constant temperature T (unknown). When the outside temperature is 260 K, the room temperature is 300 K. However, when the outside temperature drops to 240 K, the room temperature is only 290 K. Estimate the radiator temperature T.

Answer» Correct Answer - `340`
The rate of the heat transfer is approximately proportional to the temperature difference, between radiator and room as well as between the room and he outside. The corresponding proportionality constants can be denoted as C ("radiator-room") and D ("room-outside") Then, intially,
`C(T-300)=D(300-260)`
For the second set of temperatures:
`C(T-290)=D(290-240)`
Solving the equations yields T=340 K
