Please give me a list of Bronsted- Lowry and Lewis acids and bases with explanation of how to distinguish between them. |
Answer» Bronsted-Lowry AcidA Bronsted-Lowry acid, like an Arrhenius acid, is a compound that breaks down to give an H+ in solution. Bronsted-Lowry BaseThe Bronsted-Lowry base refers to any atom or ion capable of accepting or bonding to a free proton in solution. examples include:
Lewis AcidA Lewis acid refers to an atom or molecule that accepts an electron pair. Lewis Acid Examples in Organic Chemistry
Lewis BaseSince the Lewis definition has to do with the transfer of electrons, a Lewis Base is an electron pair donor.

Let \( f(x)=\sqrt{x-2}+\sqrt{x+47-14 \sqrt{x-2}} \) be a real valued function for \( x \geq 2 \), then the value of \( f(50)+f(66) \) is equal to |
|
Answer» f(x) = \(\sqrt{x-2}\) + \(\sqrt{x+47-14\sqrt{x-2}}\) ; x \(\geq\) 2 ∴ f(50) = \(\sqrt{48}\) + \(\sqrt{50+47-14\times4\sqrt3}\) = 4\(\sqrt3+\sqrt{97-56\sqrt3}\) f(66) = \(\sqrt{64}+\sqrt{66+47-14\sqrt{64}}\) = 8 + \(\sqrt{113-112}\) = 8 + 1 = 9 ∴ f(50) + f(66) = 4\(\sqrt3+\sqrt{97-56\sqrt3}+9\) |

In the experiment of throwing a die, consider the following events : A = {1, 3, 5}, B = {2, 4}, C = {6} Are these events mutually exclusive? |
|
Answer» Since the happening of one of the given events A, B, C prevents the happening of other two, hence the given events are mutually exclusive. Otherwise A ∩ B = ϕ, B ∩ C = ϕ, C ∩ A = ϕ Hence they are mutually exclusive events. |

The graph of \( y=9^{x} \) and \( y=\log _{9} x \) is are mirror image of each other about line y = x prove. |
|
Answer» Let y = 9x The mirror function of y = 9x about line y = x will find by inter changing x & y. i.e., putting x in place of y & y in place of x. So, x = 9y ⇒ y = log9x (By taking log9 on both sides) Hence, functions y = 9x & y = log9x are mirror images of each other about line y = x. |
|
| 11. |
If two sets A and B have 99 elements in common, then the number of elements common to each of the sets A×B and B×A are |
|
Answer» To find A × B we take one element from set A and one from set B. Given that 99 elements are common to both set A and set B. Suppose these common elements are N1, N2, N3,... N99. Select an ordered pair for A×B such that both are selected out of these common elements. Examples: (N1,N2),(N3,N5) All these will also be elements of B × A. Hence number of elements common to A × B and B × A is 99 × 99 = 992 ( first element in ordered pair can be selected in 99 ways; second element can also be selected in 99 ways) n[(A×B)∩(B×A)] = n[(A∩B)∩(B∩A)] = (99)(99) = 992 |

Solve the in equation √(x + 2) > √(8 − x2). |
|
Answer» When a, b ∈ R and a ≥ 0, b ≥ 0 then √a > √b ⇔ a > b ≥ 0 ∴ √(x + 2) > √(8 - x2) ⇔ x + 2 > 8 – x2 ≥ 0 and x > –2, |x| < 2√2 We have (x + 2) > 8 – x2 ⇔ x2 + x – 6 > 0 ⇔ (x + 3) (x – 2) > 0 ⇔ x ∈ (– ∞, – 3) ∪ (2, ∞) We have 8 – x2 ≥ 0 ⇔ x2 ≤ 8 ⇔ |x| < 2√2 ⇔ x ∈ [–2√2 , 2√2] Also x + 2 > 0 ⇔ x > – 2 Hence x + 2 > 8 – x2 ≥ 0 ⇔ x ε ((– ∞, –3) ∪ (2, ∞)) ∩ [–2√2 , 2√2] and x > –2 ⇔ x ∈ (2, 2√2) The solution set is [x ∈ R : –2 < x ≤ 2√2] |

|
Answer» log y = log(1 + x) (1 + x2) (1 + x4).....(1 + x2n) log y = log(1 + x) + log(1 + x2) + log(1 + x4) + ....+log(1 + x2n) \(\frac1y\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac1{1+x}+\frac{2x}{1+x^2} + \frac{4x^3}{1+x^4}+....+\frac{2n x^{2n-1}}{1+x^{2n}}\) y at x = 0 is y(0) = 1 \(\therefore\) \(\frac{dy}{dx}\) at x = 0 \(\therefore\) (\(\frac{dy}{dx}\))(x = 0) = y(0)(\(\frac1{1+0}+\frac{2\times0}{1+0}+\frac{4\times0}{1+0}\).....+\(\frac{2n-0}{1+0}\)) = 1( 1 + 0 + 0 + .... + 0) = 1 |

In the given figure, why AC||DE? |
|
Answer» In the given figure, AC || DE because if we take DC as a transversal then angle ACD = angle CDE But they are alternate angles, Hence AC || DE ∵ ∠ EDC = 100° and ∠DCA are alternative interior angles of lines DE and AC whose transversal is CD. ∴ DE || AC (One pair of alternative angles are equal . so lines are parallel). |
|
| 18. |
In ABC, angle A=76,angle B=48,angle C= ?? |
|
Answer» In any triangle, sum of angles is 180°. \(\therefore \angle A + \angle B+ \angle C = 180° \) ⇒ \(\angle C = 180° - \angle A - \angle B\) \(= 180° - 76° - 48° \) \(= 180° - 124° \) \(= 56 ° \) |

Give two rational numbers lying between 0.232332333233332... and 0.212112111211112. |
|
Answer» Let a = 0.232332333233332... b = 0.212112111211112... Here the decimal representation of a and b are non-terminating and non-repeating. So we observe that in first decimal place of a and b have the same digit 2 but digit in the second place of their decimal representation are distinct. And the number a has 3 and b has 1. So a > b. Hence two rational numbers are 0.222, 0.221 lying between 0.232332333233332... and 0.212112111211112... |
