Excess of ammonia with sodium hypochlorite solution in the presense of gule or gelatin givesA. `NaBH_(2)`B. `NH_(2)NH_(2)`C. `N_(2)`D. `NH_(4)Cl`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
Excess of ammonia `(NH_(3))` when reacts with sodium hypochlorite solution (NaOCl) in presence of glue or gelatin gives hydrazine `(NH_(2)*NH_(2))`. This process is known as Reschig process
`2NH_(3)+NaOC l toN_(2)H_(4)+NaCl+H_(2)O`
Addition of gelatin or glue suppress the side reaction by complexing with the metal ions and yield of hydrazine is increased.

Answer» Correct Answer - B
An aqueous solution of sulphuric acid i.e. `38%` by weight or having a density of `1.30gmL^(-1)` is used as an electrolyte in lead accumulators. It is consumed during discharging and when the concentration of `H_(2)SO_(4)` falls to `1.20gmL^(-1)`, it requires recgarging. Thus, the most suitable option is (b).
5.

The most basic hydroxide from following isA. `Pr(OH)_(3)(Z=59)`B. `Sm(OH)_(3)(Z=62)`C. `Ho(OH)_(3)(Z=67)`D. `La(OH)_(3)(Z=57)`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
Due to lanthanoid contraction, the basic character of hydroxides decreases from `La^(3+)` to `Lu^(3+)`
As a result, covalent nature of Ln - OH bond also increases. Thus the most basic hydroxide among the gicen option is `La(OH)_(3)`.

Answer» Correct Answer - C
Electronic configuration of titanium (Ti) (Z=22) is `[Ar]_(18)3d^(2)4s^(2)`. In case of `Ti^(4+)`, the electronic configuration will be `[Ar]_(18)3d^(0)4s^(0)`
Similarly, electronic configuration of copper (Cu) (Z=29) is `[Ar]_(18)3d^(10)4s^(1)`. On loosing one electron it acquires stable electronic configuration, i.e `[Ar]_(18)3d^(10)`.
In both `Ti^(4+)` and `Cu^(+)` no unpaired electron is present. As a result, no d-d transition occur and therefore these are colourless in nature.

If `y=(tan^(-1)x)^2`, then `(x^2+1)^2 (d^2y)/(dx^2) + 2x(x^2+1) dy/dx=`A. 4B. 2C. 1D. 0

Answer» Correct Answer - A
We have,
`y=(tan^(-1)x)^(2)`
On differentiating w.r.t.x, we get
`(dy)/(dx)=(2tan^(-1)x)/(1+x^(2))`
`rArr(1+x^(2))(dy)/(dx)=2tan^(-1)x`
On squaring both sides, we get
`(1+x^(2))^(2)((dy)/(dx))^(2)=4(tan^(-1)x)^(2)`
`rArr(1+x^(2))^(2)((dy)/(dx))^(2)=4y" "[becausey=(tan^(-1)x)^(2)]`
Again, differentiating w.r.t.x, we get
`(1+x^(2))^(2)(2(dy)/(dx)*(d^(2)y)/(dx^(2)))+2(1+x^(2))(2x)((dy)/(dx))^(2)=4(dy)/(dx)`

Given,
`log_(10)((x^(3)-y^(3))/(x^(3)+y^(3)))=2`
`rArr" "(x^(3)-y^(3))/(x^(3)+y^(3))=10^(2)=100`
`rArrx^(3)-y^(3)=100(x^(3)+y^(3))`
`rArr101y^(3)=-99x^(3)`
On differentiating both sides w.r.t.x, we get
`101xx3y^(2)(dy)/(dx)=-99*(3x^(2))`
`rArr101y^(2)(dy)/(dx)=-99x^(2)`
On multiplying by x both sides, we get
`rArr101xy^(2)(dy)/(dx)=-99x^(3)`
`rArr(dy)/(dx)=(-99x^(3))/(101xy^(2))`
`rArr(dy)/(dx)=(101y^(3))/(101xy^(2))" "[because-99x^(3)=101y^(3)]`
`rArr(dy)/(dx)=(y)/(x)`

Magnitude of vector `(Asqrt(x^(2)+y^(2)+z^(2)))`
Here, `x=0.8,y=b,z=0.4`
Now,
`=sqrt((0.8)^(2)+(b)^(2)+(0.4)^(2))`
`rArr1=sqrt(0.64+b^(2)+0.16)`
`rArr1=sqrt(0.64+b^(2)+0.16)`
`rArr1=0.64+b^(2)+0.16`
`rArr1=0.80+b^(2)`
`rArrb^(2)=1-0.80`
`rArrb^(2)=0.2`
`rArrb=sqrt(0.2)`

A mass is suspended from a vertica spring which is executing SHM of frequency 5 Hz. The spring is unstretched at the highest point of oscillation. Maximum speed of the mass is (take, acceleration due to gravity, `g=10m//s^(2)` )A. `2pi m//s`B. `pi m//s`C. `(1)/(2pi)m//s`D. `(1)/(pi)m//s`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
Given, frequency of SHM (n) =5 Hz
Acceleration due to gravity (g) `=10m//s^(2)`
WE know that,
`T=2pisqrt((m)/(k))`
But frequency, `n=(1)/(T)`
`or" "n=(1)/(2pi)sqrt((k)/(m))or5=(1)/(2pi)sqrt((k)/(m))`
On taking square both sides, we get
`25=(1)/(4pi^(2))(k)/(m)`
`k=100pi^(2)m` . . . (i)
But `kA=mg`
`rArrA=(mg)/(k)` . . . (ii)
Now, `V_(max)=omegaA`
`=(2pi)/(T)xx(mg)/(k)" "` [from Eq. (ii)]
`or" "v_(max)=2pinxx(mg)/(k)" "(becausen=(1)/(T))`
`v_(max)=2pinxx(mg)/(100pi^(2)m)` [from Eq. (i)]
`v_(max)=(nxxg)/(50pi)`
`v_(max)=(5xx10)/(50pi)`
`v_(max)=(1)/(pi)m//s`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
According to the question, we get can draw the following diagram. Now, the magnitude of momentum of the third part is given by
`p_(3)=sqrt((p_(1)^(2))+(p_(2))^(2))`
`p_(3)=sqrt((-3p)^(2)+(2p)^(2))`
`p_(3)=sqrt(9p^(2)+4p^(2))`
`p_(3)=sqrt(13p^(2))`
`:." "p_(3)=sqrt(13)p`

If `vec(a),vec(b),vec(c)` are mutually perpendicular vectors having magnitudes 1,2,3 respectively, then `[vec(a)+vec(b)+vec(c)" "vec(b)-vec(a)vec(c)]=`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
We have,
`vec(a),vec(b)` and `vec(c)` are mutually perpendicular vectors.
`:.vec(a).vec(b)=vec(b).vec(c)=vec(a).vec(c)=0`
and `|vec(a)|=1,|vec(b)|=2, |vec(c)|=3`
Now, `[vec(a)+vec(b)+vec(c) vec(b)-vec(a)vec(c)]`
`=(vec(a)+vec(b)+vec(c))*((vec(b)-vec(a))xx vec(c))`
`=(vec(a)+vec(b)+vec(c))*[(vec(b)xx vec(c))-(vec(a)xx vec(c))]`
`=vec(a)*( vec(b) xx vec(c))-vec(a).(vec(a)xx vec(c))+ vec(b)* (vec(b)xx vec(c))-vec(b)*(vec(a)xx vec(c))+ vec(c)* (vec(b)xx vec(c))-vec(c)* (vec(a)xx vec(c))`
`=[vec(a) vec(b) vec(c)]- [vec(a) vec(a) vec(c)] + [ vec(b)vec(b)vec(c)]- [ vec(b) vec(a) vec(c)] + [ vec(c) vec(b) vec(c)]- [ vec(c)vec(a)vec(c)]`
`= [ vec(a)vec(b)vec(c)]-0+0+[vec(a)vec(b)vec(c)]+0-0`
`=2 [ vec(a) vec(b) vec(c)]`
`= 2vec(a)* ( vec(b)xx vec(c))=2vec(a)*(|vec(b)||vec(c)| sin. (pi)/(2) n)`
`=2vec(a) *(2xx3xx1xx hat(n))=12vec(a)* hat(n)`
`= 12 | vec(a)||hat(n)| cos 0^(@)=12xx1xx1xx1=12`
Hence, option (c) is correct.

The moment of inertia of a ring about an axis passing though the centre and perpendicular to its plane is l. It is rotating ring is gently placed `omega` Another identical ring is gently placed on it, so that their centres coincide. If both the rings are rotating about the same axis, then loss in kinetic energy isA. `(lomega^(2))/(2)`B. `(lomega^(2))/(4)`C. `(lomega^(2))/(6)`D. `(lomega^(2))/(8)`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
According to the law of conservation of angular momentum, `lomega=` constant
Now, according to the question
`l_(1)omega_(1)=l_(2)omega_(2)orlomega=(2l)omega_(2)`
`omega_(2)=(omega)/(2)`
New kinetic energy `=[(1)/(2)l_(2)omega_(2)^(2)]=(1)/(2)(2l)xx((omega)/(2))^(2)=(lomega^(2))/(4)`
Loss in kinetic energy `(K_(L))=K_(i)-K_(j)`
`=(1)/(2)lomega^(2)-(lomega^(2))/(4)=(lomega^(2))/(4)`

The equation of line passing through `(3,-1,2)` and perpendicular to the lines `vec(r)=(hat(i)+hat(j)-hat(k))+lamda(2hat(i)-2hat(j)+hat(k))` and`vec(r)=(2hat(i)+hat(j)-3hat(k))+mu(hat(i)-2hat(j)+2hat(k))` isA. `(x+3)/(2)=(y+1)/(3)=(z-2)/(2)`B. `(x-3)/(3)=(y+1)/(2)=(z-2)/(2)`C. `(x-3)/(2)=(y+1)/(3)=(z-2)/(2)`D. `(x-2)/(2)=(y+1)/(2)=(z-2)/(3)`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
Direction ration of the line perpendicular to the lines `vec(r)=vec(a_(1))+lamdavec(b_(1))andvec(r)=vec(a_(2))+muvec(b_(2))` is `alpha(vec(b_(1))xxvec(b_(2)))`
`:.` Direction ratio of line perpendicular to the lines
`vec(r)=(hat(i)+hat(j)-hat(k))+lamda(2hat(i)-2hat(j)+hat(k))`
`andvec(r)=(2hat(i)+hat(j)-3hat(k))+mu(hat(i)-2hat(j)+2hat(k))` is
`alpha|{:(hat(i),hat(j),hat(k)),(2,-2,1),(1,-2,2):}|`
`alpha[(-4+2)hat(i)-(4-1)hat(i)+(-4+2)hat(k)]`
`=alpha[-2hat(i)-3hat(j)-2hat(k)]`
Now, equation of line passing through (3,-1,2) and parallel to `-2hat(i)-3hat(j)-2hat(k)` is
`vec(r)=3hat(i)-hat(j)+2hat(k)+beta(2hat(i)+3hat(j)+2hat(k))`
Hence, cartesian from of the above equation is
`(x-3)/(2)=(y+1)/(3)=(z-2)/(2)`

A pipe closed at one end has length 83 cm. The number of possible natural oscilations of air column whose frequencies lie below 1000 Hz are (take, velocity of sound in air 332 m/s)A. 3B. 4C. 5D. 6

Answer» Correct Answer - C
Fundamental frequency of one closed pipe,
`V=(nv)/(4L)`
Here, `n=1`
`or" "v_(1)=(332)/(4xx83xx10^(-2))`
`or" "v_(1)=100`
As odd harmonics alone are produced in closed organ pipe, therefore possible frequencies are
`3v_(1)=300Hz,5v_(2)=500Hz`,
`7v_(2)=700Hz,9v_(2)=900Hz`
Hence, the number of possible natural oscillation of air colume is 5.

A satelite is revolving in a circular orbit at a height h above the surface of the earth of radius R. The speed of the satellite in its orbit is one-fourth the escape velocity from the surface of the earth. The relation between h and R isA. h=2RB. h=3RC. h=5RD. h=7R

Answer» Correct Answer - D
According to the question,
`v_(c)=(1)/(4)v_(e)`
`sqrt((GM)/((R+h)))=(1)/(4)sqrt((2GM)/(R))`
On taking square root both sides, we get
`rArr" "(GM)/(R+h)=(1)/(16)(2GM)/(R)`
`rArr" "(GM)/(R+h)=(GM)/(8R)`
`rArr" "R+h=8R`
`rArr" "h=8R-R`
`rArr" "h=7R`

An ideal transformer converts 220 V AC to 3.3 kV AC to transmit a power of 4.4 kW. If primary coil has 600 turns, then alternating current in secondary coil isA. `(1)/(3)A`B. `(4)/(3)A`C. `(5)/(3)A`D. `(7)/(3)A`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
Given, input voltage `(V_(P))=220V`
Output voltage `(V_(S))=3.3xx10^(3)V`
Power `(P)=4.4kW=4.4xx10^(3)W`
Number of turns in primary coil = 600
We know that,
For an ideal transformer, `(V_(S))/(V_(P))=(I_(P))/(I_(S))`
`I_(S)=I_(P)xx(V_(P))/(V_(S))`
`I_(S)=(20xx220)/(3.3xx10^(3))`
`I_(S)=(44)/(33)=(4)/(3)A`
