If the cost price of 18 TV is equal to the selling price of 16 TV, what is the gain or loss percentage?1. 25% gain2. 25% loss3. 12.5% loss4. 12.5% gain

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 12.5% gain

Given:

The cost price of 18 TV = The selling price of 16 TV

Formula Used:

Profit percentage = {(SP – CP)/CP} × 100

Calculation:

Let CP of 1 TV be Rs. x

CP of 16 TV = Rs. 16x

CP of 18 TV = Rs. 18x

SP of 16 TV = Rs. 18x

Percentage profit = (18x – 16x)/16x × 100 = 12.5%

∴ Profit% is 12.5%

Value of equilibrium constant `(K_P​)` for a reaction A(g) 2B(g) is 0.0005 atm. What does it indicate ? (I) Products are more stable than reactants. (II) Reactants are very less dissociated. (III) Reactants are more stable than products. (IV) Value of `K_C​` will be less than `K_P`​ at 300 K.A. II and IIIB. III and IVC. II, III and IVD. I, II, III and IV

Answer» Correct Answer - C
Very small value of `K_P`​ indicates that reactants are more stable and very less dissociation.
Unit of `K_P`​ = atm indicates that `Deltan_g`​ = 1 and `K_P`​ is greater than `K_C`

Define the following terms: (a) Standard enthalpy of formation (b) Bond enthalpy ( c) Zeroth law of thermodynamics (d) Reversible and irrversible process

Answer» Standard enthalpy of formation: The enthalpy change accompanying the formation of one mole of a compound from its constituent elements in their respective standard states is called the standard enthalpy of formation of that compound. It is denoted by `Delta_(f)H^(Θ)`.
The standard enthalpy change when one mole of water `(H_(2)O)` is formed by the combination of hydrogen and oxygen is called standard heat formation of water.
`Delta_(f)H^(Θ)(298K)=-286 kJ mol^(-1)`
b. Bond enthaply: The bond enthalpy is the amount of energy necessary to break bonds in mole of gaseous covalent substance to form products in the gaseous state. The bond enthalpy for `H_(2)` is `435.0 kJ mol^(-1)`
c. Zwroth law of thermody namics: According to it two system separately in equilibrium with a third system are also in equilibrium with each other.
Thus, if two system `A` and `B` are separately in equilibrium with a third system C, these are also in equilibrium with each other.
d. Reversible process: A process is said to be reversible un case it is carried out infinitesimally slowly so that all changes occurring in the direct process can be exactly reversed and the system and surroundings remain in a state of equilibrium at any stage in the process.
Irreversible process: A process in which the change is brought about rapidly and the system dies not have chance to achieve equilibrium. Actually, in an irreversible process, the force which drives the reactants towards the products (called driving force) is greater than the opposing force which is to carry the reverse process.

In what way internal energy is different from enthalpu? Explain both the trms with suitable examples.

Answer» Internal energy: Every substance prossesses a certain definite amount of energy known as internal energy `(E)`. The internal energy of a substance depends upon its nature and also the conditions of temperature and pressure. Thus, different substances possess varying amounts of internal energies depending upon the conditions. For example, the internal energy of `1` mole of water is different at temperatures of `280 K` and `290 K`.
Enthalpy: The enthalpy of a system may be defined volume `(PV)` energy.
`H=E+PV`

Harsh purchased a home from Abhishek for Rs. 80 lakhs. Had Abhishek bought the home for Rs. 3 lakhs more, his profit% would have been 25%. At what price should Abhishek have sold the home to incur a profit of 36%?1. 80.98 lacs2. 82.96 lacs3. 84.56 lacs4. 85.52 lacs

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 82.96 lacs

Given:

Harsh purchased a home from Abhishek for Rs. 80 lakhs.

Had Abhishek bought the home for Rs. 3 lakhs more, his profit % would have been 25%.

Abhishek should have sold the home to incur a profit of 36%.

Formula Used:

Profit or Gain = Selling price – Cost Price

Loss = Cost Price – Selling Price

Profit percentage = (Profit/Cost Price) x 100

Loss percentage = (Loss/Cost price) x 100

Calculation:

Selling price for Abhishek is Rs. 80 lacs and profit is 25%

Cost price = Rs. (80 × 100/125)lacs = 64 lacs

This is not the actual cost price; this is the increased cost price when he earns 25% profit

Actual cost price = Rs. (64- 3) lacs = 61 lacs

Required selling price = 61 × 1.36 = 82.96 lacs

∴ The selling price should be Rs. 82.96 lacs.

An ideal gas is taken through the cycle A → B → C → A, as shown in the figure. If the net heat supplied to the gas in the cycle is 5 J, the work done by the gas in the process C → A is (a) -5 J (b) -10 J (c) -15 J (d) -20 J

Answer»

Correct Answer is: (a) -5 J 

From the first law of thermodynamics, Q = ΔU + W. For a cyclic process, ΔU = 0. Also, ϕ = 5 J

W = WAB + WBC + WCA.

WAB = pΔV = (10 N m-2) |(1 m3) = 10 J and WBC = 0.

∴ 5 J = 10 J + WCA 

or WCA + -5 J .
