400 g of steam at temperature 100^@C condenses completely to form water at temperature 100^@ C giving off heat of 216 kcal. Find out latent heat of vaporisation of water

Answer»


SOLUTION :Given Mass (m) `=400 kg ,`
heat released (Q) =216 kcal
= 216000 cla
To find:LATENT heat of varporisation of water (L)
Formula Q=mL
Calculation:
Heat given off duringHeat absorbed during
condensation = vaporistation
From of formula
`L=Q/m = (21600)/(400)= 540` cal/g

Distinguish between alternating current and direct currnet.Explain why alternating current is preferred over direct current for transmission over long distances.

Answer»

SOLUTION :Alternating Current : If the current changes direction after EQUAL intervals of time, it is called alternating current. The positive and negativepolarities of AC are not fixed.
DIRECT Current : Ifthe current always flows in the same direction, it is called direct current. It can be obtained from a cell or a battery.
The positive and negative polarities of DC are fixed for long distance transmission. AC is preferred as it causes MINIMUM loss of energy during transmission.

Two discs of moments of inertia I_(1) and I_(2) about their respective axes (normal to the disc and passing through the centre), and rotating with angular speed omega_(1) and omega_(2) are brought into contact face to face with their axes of rotation coincident . What is the angular speed of the two-disc system ?

Answer»

Solution :(i) LET w be the angular speed of the two-disc system. Then by conservation of angular momentum.
`(I_(1) + I_(2))omega = I_(1)omega_(1) + I_(2)omega_(2)`
Or `omega =(I_(1)omega_(1) + I_(2)omega_(2))/(I_(1) + I_(2))`
(II) INITIAL K.E. of the two discs.
`K_(1) = 1/2 I_(1)omega_(1)^(2) + 1/2 I_(1)omega_(2)^(2)`
Final K.E. of the two disc system.
`K_(2) = 1/2(I_(1) + I_(2)) omega^(2)`
`=1/2(I_(1) + I_(2))((I_(1)omega_(1) + I_(2)omega_(2))/(I_(1) + I_(2)))^(2)`
Loss in K.E.
`= K_(1)-K_(2) =1/2(I_(1)omega_(1)^(2) + I_(2)omega_(2)^(2)) -1/(2(I_(1) + I_(2)) (I_(1)omega_(1)^(2) + I_(2))(omega_(1) - omega_(2))^(2)` = a positive quantity `[therefore omega_(1) ne omega_(2)]`
Hence there is a loss of rotational K.E. which appears as heat.
When the two discs are brought together, work is DONE against friction between the two discs.

In the above experiment, the wire moves through the ice slab. However, the ice slab does not break. Why?

Answer»

Solution :In the above experiment, it is observed that the wire gradually PENETRATES into the ice slab. After some time, the wire comes out of the lower surface of the ice slab. HOWEVER, the ice slab does not break.
REASON : The MELTING point of ice becomes lower than `0^@C` due to pressure. This means that at `0^@C`, the ice gets converted into water. As soon as the pressure is removed, the melting point is restored to `0^@C` and water gets c·onverted into ice again. Hence, even though the thread cuts the ice surface and penetrates, immediately the ice is FORMED when the pressure is removed. Hence, the ice does not break.

A food chain in a polluted aquatic ecosystem is given. Observe it and answer the following question. Fresh water rarr Algae rarr Fishes rarr Birds. (i) Which organis ms are disturbed more due to biomagnitication ? Why ? (ii) This ecosystem will be destroyed gra dually due to biomagnification. Why?

Answer»

SOLUTION :Birds are disturbed more duc to biomagnification.
As the birds occupy the TOP most level in the given food chain, the MAXIMUM concentration of harmful chemicals causing biomagnification get accumlated in their body.
Biomagnification is the process of accumulation of nondegradable chemicals in the various trophic LEVELS of food chains.
As the chemicals are non-degradable or cannot be washed. they cannot be removed from the organisms of the food chain. This leads to gradual destruction of the ECOSYSTEM.

Explain how Avogadro hypothesis is used to derive the value of atomicity.

Answer»

Solution : ( i)The Avogadro.s law STATES that "equal VOLUMES of all gases under similar conditions of temperature and pressure contain equal number of molecules".
(ii) Let US consider the reaction between hydrogen and chlorine to form hydrogen chloride gas.
`H_(2(g))+Cl_(2(g))+2HCI_((g))`
`1 volume + 1 volume to 2 volumes`
(III) "According to Avogadro.s law, I volume of any gas is occupied by number of molecules. "
"n" molecules + "n" molecules`to`"2n" molecules
If "n"= 1, then
1 MOLECULE + I molecule `to`2 molecules.
`1//2 "molecule" +1//2 "moleculeto molecule"`
(iv) I molecule of hydrogen chloride gas is made up`1//2` of molecule of hydrogen and`1//2` molecule of chlorine.
(v) molecule of hydrogen contains alumn.So, 1 molecule of hydrogen contains 2 atoms. So, hydrogen atomicity is 2. Similarly chlorine atomicity is also 2. So, `H_(2)` and `Cl_(2)` are diatomic molecules.

Define: The universal law of gravitation and derive mathematically.

Answer»

Solution :The universal law of grivatation: Everyy object in the universe attracts every other object with a force with is directly PROPORTIONAL to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to thesquare of the distance between their centres.
Let `m_(1)` and `m_(2)` be the masses of two objects, the distance between their centres be d.
The gravitational attraction between the two wil be GIVEN by
`F ALPHA(m_(1)m_(2))/(d^(2))`
`:.F=(Gm_(1)m_(2))/(d^(2))` (G is constant)
G is CALLED gravitational constantit is also known as universal constant of gravitation.

Observe the diagram given and aswer the question asked. d. What changes in 'C' takes place while viewing object of various distances?

Answer»

Solution :1. The capacity of human eye toview objects placed at various distances clearly is called power of accommodation.
2. The size of the lens CHANGES and the focal LENGTH of lens is changed so that the IMAGE of objects placed at various distance falls on retina.
3. While viewing objects placed close to the eye, the focal length of the lens is decreased. This is achieved by making the lens more round. Ciliary muscles aprt from holding the lens also perform this function .
4. While viewing objects placed far away form eye, the lens is flattened so that its focal length increases. Ciliary muscles take care of this function.

A positivelycharges particle (alpha particle) projected towards west is deflected towards north by a magneticfield . The directionof magneticfield is ……

Answer»

towards south
towardseast
downward
upward

Solution :Here the positivelycharged particle (alpha particle ) is initially movingtowardsthe west .
The deflection of alphaparticleis towards north . This showsthatthe magneticforceacts on it towards the north (direction).
Hence , here (a) direction of current I istowards west and (b) direction of force F istowards north .

letus nowhold the first (force) finger ,middle fingerand THUMB ofyour LEFT hand at right angles to oneanother .
Adjust the left hand in sucha way that your middlefingerpoint towards the west( in the directionof the current ) andthe thumb pointstowards the north ( in the directionof the force).
Inthis case , your first(force) fingerpoints UPWARDS (shown by the symbol ). Sincethe directionof the forefinger gives the direction of themagneticfield ,the magneticfield WOULD be in the upward direction .[see figure 13.23(a) or 13.23 (b)].
