1.

What is the angular velocity of a second hand and minute hand of a clock ?A. `(59pi)/(900) rad/s`B. `(59pi)/(1800) rad/s`C. `(59pi)/(2400) rad/s`D. `(59pi)/(3600) rad/s`

Answer» Correct Answer - b
Angular speed of minute hand
`omega_(m)=360^(@)` per hour
`=(360x(pi)/(180))` per hour =`(2pi)/(3600)` rad/s
angular speed of second hand
`omega_(s)=360^(@)` per minute =`(2pi)/(60)` rad / s
`therefore` differnce between angular speeds of minute hand and second hand of a clock
`=omega_(m)-omega_(s)=(2pi)/(3600)-(2pi)/(60)=-(59pi)/(1800`
so difference between `omega_(m)` and `omega_(s)` is `(59pi)/(1800)` rad/s

For the reaction `O_(3(g)) +O_((g)) to 2O_(2(g)) ` , if the rate law expression is , rate `=k [O_3][O]` the molecularity and order of the reaction are respectively ______.A. 2 and 2B. 2 and 133C. 2 and 1D. 1 and 2

Answer» Correct Answer - a
Given reaction is `O_(3)(g)+O(g) rarr2O_()(g)` also rate law expression is given as
`rate = k[O_(3))] [O]`
now since molecularity is simply the sum of reactant molecules in a single step of a chemical reaction so molecularity is two for this reaction on the other hand order is the sum of the pwoers raised to the concentration of eractant molecules from eq (i) order is 1+1 =2
`therefore` the molecularity is 2 and order is also 2
3.

The differeence in the effective capacity of two similar capacitor when joined in series and then in paralllel is 6 `mu` F the capacity of each capacitor isA. `2 mu F`B. `4 mu F`C. `8 mu F`D. `16 mu F`

Answer» Correct Answer - a
When two similar capactors are joined in series then effective capacity is
`(1)/(C_(s))=(1)/(c )+(1)/(C )+(1)/(C )=(2)/(C )`
`therefore C_(s)=(C )/(2)`
when capacitors are joined in parallel then `C_(p)=C+C=2C`
since `C_(p)-C_(s)=6 mu f`
`therefore 2c-(C )/(2)=6 rarr 4C-c =12`
or C=4 muF`

Answer» Correct Answer - c
The frequency of note produced in the pth mode of viration in open pipe is
`v_("open") =(2p-1)(v)/(4L)`
`therefore` Ratio of pth mode of frequency of vibration of air in two pipes is
`(V_("open"))/(v_("closed"))=(pv)/(2L)/(29-1)(v)/(4L)=(2p)/(2p-1)`
26.

A capacitor `C_(1)=4mu` F is connected is series with another capacitor `C_(2)=1mu`F the combination is connected across DC source of 200 V the ratio of potential across `C_(2)` to `C_(1)` isA. `2:1`B. `4:1`C. `8:1`D. `16:1`

Answer» Correct Answer - a
In series combination `(1)/(C_(s))+(1)/(C_(2))=1/4+1/1=5/4`
`C_(s)=4/5 mu F`
now total charge in series combination is given by
`q=c_(s)xxV=4/5 xx200 =600 V`
`therefore V_(1)` potential across `R_(1)=(160)/(C_(1))=160/4=40 V`
so `(V_(2))/(V_(1))=160/40=4/1 rarr V_(2) L: V_(1)=4:1`
