A tractor plough along the sides of the square field of side 100 km long at a certain speed , if it increases its speed by 25% , it is able to finish the work 10 hours earlier . Find the actual speed of the tractor.1. 10 km/hr2. 8 km/hr3. 20 km/hr4. 15 km/hr5. 6 km/hr |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 8 km/hr Given: Side of the field = 100 km Calculations: The total distance traveled = 4 × 100 = 400 km Let the initial speed of the train = x km/hr Actual time taken by the train = 400/x hrs If it increases its speed by 25% , new speed will be ; ⇒ x + 25/100 x = x + x/4 = 5x/4 Time taken at increased speed = 400/(5x/4) = 1600/5x According to question , 400/x – 1600/5x = 10 ⇒ 2000/5x – 1600/5x = 10 ⇒ 8 km/hr |

Acidic hydrolysis of ester distinguish by which method |
|
Answer» In acidic hydrolysis of ester it is heated with dilute acid (such as dil. HCl, H2SO4 ). On reaction to water ethanoic acid and ethanol are formed and the mixture is in equilibrium. But in alkaline hydrolysis of ester it is heated with a dilute alkali (such as NaOH). It is one way reaction. The products can easily be separated. As a result sodium salt is formed. Now the theme: Acid hydrolysis of an ester produces a carboxylic acid which is a weak acid. This means that it does not ionize fully when dissolved in water. That means the reverse reaction that produces the ester is favored. On the other hand, alkaline hydrolysis produces a carboxylate salt which ionizes fully and signals that the reaction has gone to completion. |
