If mass-energy equivalence is taken into account, when water is cooled to form ice, the mass of water should(a) Increase(b) remains unchanged(c) decrease(d) first increase then decrease

Answer»

Correct Option (a) Increase

Explanation :

According to the mass-energy equivalence, mass and energy remain conserved. So, when water is cooled to form ice, water loses its energy so, change in energy increases the mass of water.

The spring constant of a spring K, when it is divided into n equal parts, then the spring constant of one piece is (a) K/n (b) nK (c) nK/(n+1) (d) (n+1)K/n

Answer»

Correct Option (b) nK 

Explanation :

When a spring is cut into n equal parts, the spring constant k of each part is given by

1/K = 1/K+1/K+1/K+.......n terms = n/K
k = nK
- k is spring cosntant of one small pieces

A 5×10-5 M base is diluted 100times . The ph of diluted  base is A) between 7 and 8B) between  6 and 7C) between 5 and 6D) between 10 and11

Answer»

The pH of the diluted base will always be between 7 and 8.

The first thing to remember that after dilution the nature of acid doesn't change. If it is acid then it will remain that and same for the base.

Here, Initial OH- ion concentration = 5 x 10-5M  = n/v 

[where n and v number of moles and volume respectively denotes molarity]
After the initial solution is diluted, its volume will be 100 ⋅ V.

after dilution it will be 5 x 10-7M then p[OH] will be less than 7.

thus its pH will be slightly more than 7.

Which one of the following is correct order ?(a) —OH > —OR (order of –I effect)(b) —CH3 > —CO3 > CCl3 (order of +I effect)(c) —F > —OH > —NH2 (order of –I effect)(d) —NO — SO2R—SO3H—NO2 (set of meta directors)

Answer»

Correct option (c) —F > —OH > —NH2 (order of –I effect)   

Explanation:

Problem is based on concept of inductive effect and electronegativity of element. As F is most electronegative element with smallest size rather than —OH and —NH2 where O and N has larger size as well as lower electronegative than F.

—F                              —OH                         —NH2

Electronegativity decreases

 inductive effect decreases

 Hence, correct order is (c)

While all other are conceptually very wrong

An artificial satellite moving in a circular orbit around the earth has a total (kinetic + potential) energy E0. Its potential energy is(a) –E0 (b) 15E0 (c) 2E0 (d) E0

Answer»

Correct Option (c) 2E0 

Explanation :

For a satellite, we have

Kinetic energy = GmM/2r

Potential energy = -GmM/r

Total energy E0 = KE + PE

= GmMr/2r - GmM/r = GmM/2r = PE/2

or PE = 2E0
