Solution
Given $x^{16(\log_5 x)^3 - 68 \log_5 x} = 5^{-16}$. Take log to the base 5 on both sides and put $\log_5 x = t$. $$16t^4 - 68t^2 + 16 = 0$$ $$\Rightarrow 4t^4 - 17t^2 + 4 = 0$$ $$\begin{cases} t_1 \\ t_2 \\ t_3 \\ t_4 \end{cases}$$ $t_1 + t_2 + t_3 + t_4 = 0$. $\log_5 x_1 + \log_5 x_2 + \log_5 x_3 + \log_5 x_4 = 0$. $x_1 x_2 x_3 x_4 = 1$

Let $\alpha=\sum_{k=1}^{\infty}\sin^{2k}\left(\frac{\pi}{6}\right)$ Let $g:[0,1]\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ be the function defined by $g(x)=2^{\alpha x}+2^{\alpha(1-x)}$ Then, which of the following statements is/are TRUE?
The minimum value of $g(x)$ is $2^{\frac{7}{6}}$
The maximum value of $g(x)$ is $1 + 2^{\frac{1}{3}}$
The function $g(x)$ attains its maximum at more than one point
The function $g(x)$ attains its minimum at more than one point
Answer: (a), (b), (c)
Solution
Given $\alpha = \left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^2 + \left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^4 + \left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^6 + \ldots$ $$\alpha = \frac{\frac{1}{4}}{1 - \frac{1}{4}} = \frac{1}{3}$$ Therefore, $g(x) = 2^{x/3} + 2^{1/3(1-x)}$. Thus, $g(x) = 2^{x/3} + \frac{2^{1/3}}{2^{x/3}}$. Where $g(0) = 1 + 2^{1/3}$ and $g(1) = 1 + 2^{1/3}$. Therefore, $g'(x) = \frac{1}{3} \left( 2^{x/3} - \frac{2^{1/3}}{2^{x/3}} \right) = 0$. $$\Rightarrow 2^{2x/3} = 2^{1/3} \Rightarrow x = \frac{1}{2} = critical point$$ Therefore, the graph of $g'(x)$ is: $$\begin{array}{c} graph of g'(x) = \begin{cases} + & for x > \frac{1}{2} \\ - & for x < \frac{1}{2} \end{cases} \end{array}$$ And $g\left( \frac{1}{2} \right) = 2^{7/6}$. Therefore, the graph of $g(x)$ in $[0, 1]$ is: $$\begin{array}{c} (0, 1 + 2^{1/3}) (1, 1 + 2^{1/3}) \\ \left( \frac{1}{2}, 2^{7/6} \right) \end{array}$$

Given $\($ $\frac{dy}{dx}$ + 12y = $\cos$$\left$($\frac{\pi}{12}$x$\right$) $\)$ Linear D.E. I.F. = $\($ e^{$\int$ 12 $\,$ dx} = e^{12x} $\)$ Solution of DE $\($ y.e^{12x} = $\int$ e^{12x} $\cdot$ $\cos$$\left$($\frac{\pi}{12}$x$\right$) $\,$ dx $\)$ $\($ y.e^{12x} = $\frac{e^{12x}}{(12)^2 + \left(\frac{\pi}{12}\right)^2}$ $\left$( 12 $\cos$$\left$($\frac{\pi}{12}$x$\right$) + $\frac{\pi}{12}$ $\sin$$\left$($\frac{\pi}{12}$x$\right$) $\right$) + C $\)$ $\($ $\Rightarrow$ y = $\frac{(12)}{(12)^4 + \pi^2}$ $\left$( (12)^2 $\cos$$\left$($\frac{\pi x}{12}$$\right$) + $\pi$ $\sin$$\left$($\frac{\pi x}{12}$$\right$) $\right$) + $\frac{C}{e^{12x}}$ $\)$ Given $\($ y(0) = 0 $\)$ $\($ $\Rightarrow$ 0 = $\frac{12}{12^4 + \pi^2}$ (12^2 + 0) + C $\Rightarrow$ C = $\frac{-12^3}{12^4 + \pi^2}$ $\)$ $\($ $\therefore$ y = $\frac{12}{12^4 + \pi^2}$ $\left$( (12)^2 $\cos$$\left$($\frac{\pi x}{12}$$\right$) + $\pi$ $\sin$$\left$($\frac{\pi x}{12}$$\right$) - 12^2.e^{-12x} $\right$) $\)$ Now $\($ $\frac{dy}{dx}$ = $\frac{12}{12^4 + \pi^2}$ $\left$[ -12 $\pi$ $\sin$$\left$($\frac{\pi x}{12}$$\right$) + $\frac{\pi^2}{12}$ $\cos$$\left$($\frac{\pi x}{12}$$\right$) + 12^3 e^{-12x} $\right$] $\)$ $\($ $\left$( -$\sqrt{\frac{144 \pi^2 + \pi^4}{144}}$ = -12 $\pi$ $\sqrt{1 + \frac{\pi^2}{12^4}}$ $\right$) $\)$ $\($ $\Rightarrow$ $\frac{dy}{dx}$ > 0 $\)$ for $\($ x $\leq$ 0 $\)$ and may be negative/positive for $\($ x > 0 $\)$ So, $\($ f(x) $\)$ is neither increasing nor decreasing For some $\($ $\beta$ $\in$ $\mathbb{R}$, y = $\beta$ $\)$ intersects $\($ y = f(x) $\)$ at infinitely many points So option C is correct

Case-I: when exactly one box provides four balls (3R 1B or 2R 2B). Number of ways in this case $^5C_4 \left(^3C_1 \times ^2C_1\right)^3 \times 4$. Case-II: when exactly two boxes provide three balls (2R 1B or 1R 2B) each. Number of ways in this case $\left(^5C_3 - 1\right)^2 \left(^3C_1 \times ^2C_1\right)^2 \times 6$. Required number of ways = 21816. Language ambiguity: If we consider at least one red ball and exactly one blue ball, then required number of ways is 9504. None of the option is correct.

For positive integer n, define $$f(n) = n + \frac{16 + 5n - 3n^2}{4n + 3n^2} + \frac{32 + n - 3n^2}{8n + 3n^2} + \frac{48 - 3n - 3n^2}{12n + 3n^2} + \ldots + \frac{25n - 7n^2}{7n^2}.$$ Then, the value of $\lim_{n \to \infty} f(n)$ is equal to
Given $$f(n) = n + \sum_{r=1}^{n} \frac{16r + (9 - 4r)n - 3n^2}{4rn + 3n^2}$$ Simplifying, $$f(n) = n + \sum_{r=1}^{n} \frac{(16r + 9n) - (4rn + 3n^2)}{4rn + 3n^2}$$ This becomes, $$f(n) = n + \left( \sum_{r=1}^{n} \frac{16r + 9n}{4rn + 3n^2} \right) - n$$ Taking the limit as $n$ approaches infinity, $$\lim_{n \to \infty} f(n) = \lim_{n \to \infty} \sum_{r=1}^{n} \frac{16r + 9n}{4rn + 3n^2}$$ This is equal to, $$= \lim_{n \to \infty} \sum_{r=1}^{n} \frac{16\left(\frac{r}{n}\right) + 9}{4\left(\frac{r}{n}\right) + 3} \cdot \frac{1}{n}$$ Evaluating the integral, $$= \int_{0}^{1} \frac{16x + 9}{4x + 3} \, dx = \int_{0}^{1} 4 \, dx - \int_{0}^{1} \frac{3 \, dx}{4x + 3}$$ This simplifies to, $$= 4 - \frac{3}{4} \left( \ln|4x + 3| \right)_{0}^{1}$$ Finally, $$= 4 - \frac{3}{4} \cdot \frac{7}{3}$$

Consider a configuration of $n$ identical units, each consisting of three layers. The first layer is a column of air of height $h = \frac{1}{3} \, \mathrm{cm}$, and the second and third layers are of equal thickness $d = \frac{\sqrt{3} - 1}{2} \, \mathrm{cm}$, and refractive indices $\mu_1 = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$ and $\mu_2 = \sqrt{3}$, respectively. A light source $O$ is placed on the top of the first unit, as shown in the figure. A ray of light from $O$ is incident on the second layer of the first unit at an angle of $\theta = 60^\circ$ to the normal.

A charge $q$ is surrounded by a closed surface consisting of an inverted cone of height $h$ and base radius $R$, and a hemisphere of radius $R$ as shown in the figure. The electric flux through the conical surface is $\frac{nq}{6\epsilon_0}$ (in SI units). The value of $n$ is _______.
Answer: 3
Solution
From Gauss's law, $$\phi_{hemisphere} + \phi_{cone} = \frac{q}{\varepsilon_0}$$ Total flux produced from $q$ in $\alpha$ angle $$\phi = \frac{q}{2\varepsilon_0} [1 - \cos \alpha]$$ For hemisphere, $\alpha = \frac{\pi}{2}$ $$\phi_{hemisphere} = \frac{q}{2\varepsilon_0}$$ From equation (i) $$\frac{q}{2\varepsilon_0} + \phi_{cone} = \frac{q}{\varepsilon_0}$$ $$\phi_{cone} = \frac{q}{2\varepsilon_0}$$ $$\frac{4q}{6\varepsilon_0} = \frac{q}{2\varepsilon_0}$$ $n = 3$ Alternatively, $\phi \propto$ number of electric field lines passing through surface. $q$ is a point charge which has uniformly distributed electric field lines, thus half of electric field lines will pass through hemisphere and other half will pass through conical surface.
Question 25

On a frictionless horizontal plane, a bob of mass $m = 0.1 \, \mathrm{kg}$ is attached to a spring with natural length $l_0 = 0.1 \, \mathrm{m}$. The spring constant is $k_1 = 0.009 \, \mathrm{Nm}^{-1}$ when the length of the spring $l > l_0$ and is $k_2 = 0.016 \, \mathrm{Nm}^{-1}$ when $l < l_0$. Initially the bob is released from $l = 0.15 \, \mathrm{m}$. Assume that Hooke's law remains valid throughout the motion. If the time period of the full oscillation is $T = (n \pi) \, \mathrm{s}$, then the integer closest to $n$ is
Answer: 6
Solution
If $\ell > \ell_0$, then $k = k_1$. If $\ell < \ell_0$, then $k = k_2$. The time period of oscillation is given by $$T = \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k_1}} + \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k_2}}.$$ Substituting the values, we have $$T = \pi \sqrt{\frac{0.1}{0.009}} + \pi \sqrt{\frac{0.1}{0.016}}.$$ This simplifies to $$T = \frac{\pi}{0.3} + \frac{\pi}{0.4} \implies T = \frac{0.7}{0.12} \pi = 5.83\pi.$$ Therefore, $T \approx 6\pi$. So, $n = 6$.
Question 26

An object and a concave mirror of focal length $f = 10 \, \mathrm{cm}$ both move along the principal axis of the mirror with constant speeds. The object moves with speed $V_0 = 15 \, \mathrm{cm \, s^{-1}}$ towards the mirror with respect to a laboratory frame. The distance between the object and the mirror at a given moment is denoted by $u$. When $u = 30 \, \mathrm{cm}$, the speed of the mirror $V_m$ is such that the image is instantaneously at rest with respect to the laboratory frame, and the object forms a real image. The magnitude of $V_m$ is ________ $\mathrm{cm \, s^{-1}}$.
Answer: 3
Solution
Let $u = -30 \, \mathrm{cm}$ and $f = -10 \, \mathrm{cm}$. Then $v = \frac{fu}{u-f} = -15 \, \mathrm{cm}$. The lens formula is given by: $$\frac{1}{v} + \frac{1}{u} = \frac{1}{f}$$ Differentiating with respect to time $t$: $$\frac{du}{dt} = -\frac{v^2}{u^2} \frac{dv}{dt}$$ The velocity of the image is: $$\vec{v}_m = -\left( \frac{v}{u} \right)^2 \vec{v}_o$$ Given $\vec{v}_i = \vec{0}$, we have: $$\vec{v}_i - \vec{v}_m = -\left( \frac{-15}{-30} \right)^2 (\vec{v}_{o/m})$$ Thus: $$\vec{v}_i - \vec{v}_m = -\frac{1}{4} \vec{v}_o + \frac{1}{4} \vec{v}_m$$ Given $\vec{v}_o = 15 \, \mathrm{cm/s} \, \hat{i}$ and $\vec{v}_i = 0 \, \mathrm{cm/s}$, we find: $$\frac{5}{4} \vec{v}_m = \frac{\vec{v}_o}{4}$$ Therefore: $$\vec{v}_m = \frac{\vec{v}_o}{4} = \frac{15 \, \mathrm{cm/s} \, \hat{i}}{5} = 3 \, \mathrm{m/s} \, \hat{i}$$ The magnitude of $\vec{v}_m$ is $3 \, \mathrm{cm/s} = 3$.

Question 29
Physics · Mechanical Properties of Fluids · Multiple correct
A bubble has surface tension $S$. The ideal gas inside the bubble has ratio of specific heats $\gamma = \frac{5}{3}$. The bubble is exposed to the atmosphere and it always retains its spherical shape. When the atmospheric pressure is $P_{a1}$, the radius of the bubble is found to be $r_1$ and the temperature of the enclosed gas is $T_1$. When the atmospheric pressure is $P_{a2}$, the radius of the bubble and the temperature of the enclosed gas are $r_2$ and $T_2$, respectively. Which of the following statement(s) is(are) correct?
If the surface of the bubble is a perfect heat insulator, then $\left( \frac{r_1}{r_2} \right)^5 = \frac{P_{a2} + \frac{2S}{r_2}}{P_{a1} + \frac{2S}{r_1}}$
If the surface of the bubble is a perfect heat insulator, then the total internal energy of the bubble including its surface energy does not change with the external atmospheric pressure.
If the surface of the bubble is a perfect heat conductor and the change in atmospheric temperature is negligible, then $\left( \frac{r_1}{r_2} \right)^3 = \frac{P_{a2} + \frac{4S}{r_2}}{P_{a1} + \frac{4S}{r_1}}$.
If the surface of the bubble is a perfect heat insulator, then $\left( \frac{T_2}{T_1} \right)^{\frac{5}{2}} = \frac{P_{a2} + \frac{4S}{r_2}}{P_{a1} + \frac{4S}{r_1}}$.
Answer: (c), (d)
Solution
The pressure of the gas is given by the equation $$P_{gas} = P_a + \frac{4S}{r}$$. For an adiabatic process, we have $$PV^\gamma = constant$$. Therefore, $$\left( P_{a_1} + \frac{4S}{r_1} \right) \left( \frac{4}{3} \pi r_1^3 \right)^{5/3} = \left( P_{a_2} + \frac{4S}{r_2} \right) \left( \frac{4}{3} \pi r_2^3 \right)^{5/3}$$. This implies $$\frac{r_1^3}{r_2^3} = \frac{\left( P_{a_2} + \frac{4S}{r_2} \right)}{\left( P_{a_1} + \frac{4S}{r_1} \right)}$$. For the process $$P^{1-\gamma} T^\gamma = constant$$, we have $$\left( P_{a_2} + \frac{4S}{r_2} \right)^{1-5/3} T_2^{5/3} = \left( P_{a_1} + \frac{4S}{r_1} \right)^{1-5/3} T_1^{5/3}$$. Therefore, $$\left( \frac{T_2}{T_1} \right)^{5/3} = \frac{\left( P_{a_1} + \frac{4S}{r_1} \right)}{\left( P_{a_2} + \frac{4S}{r_2} \right)}$$. Simplifying, $$\left( \frac{T_2}{T_1} \right)^{5/2} = \frac{\left( P_{a_2} + \frac{4S}{r_2} \right)}{\left( P_{a_1} + \frac{4S}{r_1} \right)}$$. Therefore, option (D) is correct.

In addition to the Coulomb force, the particle experiences a vertical force $\vec{F} = -c \hat{k}$ with $c > 0$. Let $\beta = \frac{2c \epsilon_0}{q \sigma}$. Which of the following statement(s) is(are) correct?
For $\beta = \frac{1}{4}$ and $z_0 = \frac{25}{7} R$, the particle reaches the origin.
For $\beta = \frac{1}{4}$ and $z_0 = \frac{3}{7} R$, the particle reaches the origin.
For $\beta = \frac{1}{4}$ and $z_0 = \frac{R}{\sqrt{3}}$, the particle returns back to $z = z_0$.
For $\beta > 1$ and $z_0 > 0$, the particle always reaches the origin.
Answer: (a), (c), (d)
Solution
The work-energy principle is given by $W_{el} + W_{ext} = k_f - k_i$. Substituting the values, we have $qv_i - qv_f + W_{ext} = k_f - k_i$. The expression becomes: $$\frac{q\sigma}{2\epsilon_0} \left[ \sqrt{R^2 + Z^2} - Z \right] - \frac{q\sigma R}{2\epsilon_0} + CZ = k_f - 0$$ Where $C = \frac{q\theta B}{2\epsilon_0}$. Substitute $\beta$ and $Z$, calculate kinetic energy at $z = 0$. If kinetic energy is positive, then the particle will reach the origin. If kinetic energy is negative, then the particle will not reach the origin.

A double slit setup is shown in the figure. One of the slits is in medium 2 of refractive index $n_2$. The other slit is at the interface of this medium with another medium 1 of refractive index $n_1 (\neq n_2)$. The line joining the slits is perpendicular to the interface and the distance between the slits is $d$. The slit widths are much smaller than $d$. A monochromatic parallel beam of light is incident on the slits from medium 1. A detector is placed in medium 2 at a large distance from the slits, and at an angle $\theta$ from the line joining them, so that $\theta$ equals the angle of refraction of the beam. Consider two approximately parallel rays from the slits received by the detector. Which of the following statement(s) is (are) correct?
The phase difference between the two rays is independent of $d$.
The two rays interfere constructively at the detector.
The phase difference between the two rays depends on $n_1$ but is independent of $n_2$.
The phase difference between the two rays vanishes only for certain values of $d$ and the angle of incidence of the beam, with $\theta$ being the corresponding angle of refraction.

The magnitude of the work done in the process $A \to B$ is $60 \, \mathrm{kJ}$.
The magnitude of the work done in the process $C \to A$ is zero.
Answer: (b), (c), (d)
Solution
For adiabatic process (A → B) $$P_A V_A^\gamma = P_B V_B^\gamma$$ $$10^5 \times (0.8)^{\frac{5}{3}} = 3 \times 10^5 \left(V_B\right)^{\frac{5}{3}}$$ $$\Rightarrow V_B = 0.8 \times \left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^{0.6} = 0.4$$ Work done in process A → B $$W_{AB} = \frac{P_A V_A - P_B V_B}{\gamma - 1}$$ $$\Rightarrow W_{AB} = \frac{10^5 \times 0.8 - 3 \times 10^5 \times 0.4}{\frac{5}{3} - 1}$$ $$\Rightarrow W_{AB} = -60 \, kJ \Rightarrow |W_{AB}| = 60 \, kJ$$ Work done in process B → C (Isothermal process) $$W_{BC} = nRT \ln \frac{V_C}{V_B} = P_B V_B \ln \frac{V_C}{V_B}$$ $$\Rightarrow W_{BC} = 3 \times 10^5 \times 0.4 \ln \frac{0.8}{0.4}$$ $$\Rightarrow W_{BC} = 84 \, kJ$$ Work done in process C → A $$W_{CA} = P \Delta V = 0 (\because \Delta V = 0)$$ So total work done in the process A→B→C $$W_{ABC} = W_{AB} + W_{BC} + W_{CA} = -60 + 84 + 0$$ $$W_{ABC} = 24 \, kJ$$ So correct options are (B, C, D)

Concentration of $\mathrm{H_2SO_4}$ and $\mathrm{Na_2SO_4}$ in a solution is $1 \, \mathrm{M}$ and $1.8 \times 10^{-2} \, \mathrm{M}$, respectively. Molar solubility of $\mathrm{PbSO_4}$ in the same solution is $X \times 10^{-Y} \, \mathrm{M}$ (expressed in scientific notation). The value of $Y$ is ________. [Given: Solubility product of $\mathrm{PbSO_4} \,(K_{sp}) = 1.6 \times 10^{-8}$. For $\mathrm{H_2SO_4}$, $K_{a1}$ is very large and $K_{a2} = 1.2 \times 10^{-2}$]
Answer: 6
Solution
The reaction of $\mathrm{H_2SO_4}$ is as follows: $$\mathrm{H_2SO_4} \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{HSO_4^-} + \mathrm{H^+}$$ Initially, the concentrations are $1 \, \mathrm{M}$ for $\mathrm{H_2SO_4}$ and $0 \, \mathrm{M}$ for $\mathrm{HSO_4^-}$ and $\mathrm{H^+}$. After dissociation, the concentrations are $1 \, \mathrm{M}$ for $\mathrm{HSO_4^-}$ and $\mathrm{H^+}$. For $\mathrm{Na_2SO_4}$: $$\mathrm{Na_2SO_4} \rightarrow 2\mathrm{Na^+} + \mathrm{SO_4^{2-}}$$ The initial concentration is $1.8 \times 10^{-2} \, \mathrm{M}$, leading to $3.6 \times 10^{-2} \, \mathrm{M}$ for $\mathrm{Na^+}$ and $1.8 \times 10^{-2} \, \mathrm{M}$ for $\mathrm{SO_4^{2-}}$. For $\mathrm{HSO_4^-}$: $$\mathrm{HSO_4^-} \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{H^+} + \mathrm{SO_4^{2-}}; K_{a_2} = 1.2 \times 10^{-2} \, \mathrm{M}$$ Initially, $1 \, \mathrm{M}$ for $\mathrm{HSO_4^-}$ and $\mathrm{H^+}$, and $1.8 \times 10^{-2} \, \mathrm{M}$ for $\mathrm{SO_4^{2-}}$. Since $Q_c > K_c$, it will move in the backward direction. The concentrations become $1 + x$ for $\mathrm{HSO_4^-}$, $1 - x$ for $\mathrm{H^+}$, and $1.8 \times 10^{-2} - x$ for $\mathrm{SO_4^{2-}}$. The equilibrium constant is: $$K_{a_2} = 1.2 \times 10^{-2} = \frac{(1-x)(1.8 \times 10^{-2} - x)}{(1+x)}$$ Since $x$ is very small, $(1 + x) \simeq 1$ and $(1 - x) \simeq 1$. Thus, $x = (1.8 \times 10^{-2} - 1.2 \times 10^{-2}) \, \mathrm{M}$. The concentration of $\mathrm{SO_4^{2-}}$ is: $$[\mathrm{SO_4^{2-}}] = (1.8 \times 10^{-2} - 0.6 \times 10^{-2}) \, \mathrm{M} = 1.2 \times 10^{-2} \, \mathrm{M}$$ For $\mathrm{PbSO_4}$: $$\mathrm{PbSO_4} \rightarrow \mathrm{Pb^{2+}} + \mathrm{SO_4^{2-}}$$ The concentration of $\mathrm{Pb^{2+}}$ is $s$ and $1.2 \times 10^{-2} \, \mathrm{M}$ for $\mathrm{SO_4^{2-}}$. The concentration of $\mathrm{PbSO_4}$ is $(s + 1.2 \times 10^{-2})$. The solubility product is: $$K_{sp} = s(s + 1.2 \times 10^{-2}) = 1.6 \times 10^{-8} (\mathrm{PbSO_4})$$ Here, $(s + 1.2 \times 10^{-2}) \simeq 1.2 \times 10^{-2}$ (since 's' is very small). Thus, $s(1.2 \times 10^{-2}) = 1.6 \times 10^{-8}$. Therefore, $s = \frac{1.6}{1.2 \times 10^{-6}} \mathrm{M} = X \times 10^{-Y} \mathrm{M}$. Thus, $Y = 6$.

Answer: 5
Solution
0.1 mole ionic salt in 1.8 kg water at 35° C. Vapour pressure of solution = 59.724 $\mathrm{mm}$ $\mathrm{Hg}$. Vapour pressure of pure $\mathrm{H_2O}$ = 60.000 $\mathrm{mm}$ $\mathrm{Hg}$. Let the number of ions present per formula unit of the ionic salt be 'x'. $$\begin{array}{ccc} \mathrm{A_x} & \longrightarrow & \mathrm{xA} \\ (Salt) & & (Ions) \\ 0.1 & - & \\ 0.1 \left(1 - 0.9\right) & & \left(0.1 \times 0.9\right) x \end{array}$$ Total moles of non-volatile particles = 0.01 + 0.09 x in 1.8 kg water. Moles of water = $\frac{1.8 \times 10^3}{18}$ = 100 moles. Relative lowering of vapour pressure $\frac{P^o - P_s}{P^o}$ = Mole fraction of non-volatile particles. $$\frac{P^o - P_s}{P_s} = \frac{moles of non-volatile particles}{moles of water}$$ $$\frac{60.000 - 59.724}{59.724} = \frac{0.01 + 0.09x}{100}$$ $$(0.276) \times 100 = 0.59274 + (0.59274 \times 9)x$$ $$27.6 - 0.59274 = (0.59274 \times 9)x$$ $$\Rightarrow x \cong \frac{27}{0.6 \times 9} = 5$$

Answer: (b), (c)

For option (A) Let atomic mass of P be $M_P$ and atomic mass of Q be $M_Q$. Molar ratio of atoms P : Q in compound 3 is $$\frac{40}{M_P} : \frac{60}{M_Q} = 3 : 4$$ $$\frac{2M_Q}{3M_P} = \frac{3}{4} \Rightarrow 9M_P = 8M_Q$$ Molar ratio of atoms P : Q in compound 2 is $$\frac{44.4}{M_P} : \frac{55.6}{M_Q}$$ $$= 44.4 \, M_Q : 55.6 \, M_P$$ $$= 44.4 \, M_Q : 55.6 \times \frac{8M_Q}{9}$$ $$= 44.4 : 55.6 \times \frac{8}{9}$$ $$= 9 : 10$$ $\($$\Rightarrow$$\)$ Empirical formula of compound 2 is therefore $P_9Q_{10}$. Option (A) is incorrect. For option (B) Molar Ratio of atoms P : Q in compound 3 is $$\frac{40}{M_P} : \frac{60}{M_Q} = 3 : 2$$ $$\frac{2M_Q}{3M_P} = \frac{3}{2} \Rightarrow 9M_P = 4M_Q$$ If $M_P = 20$ $\($$\Rightarrow$$\)$ $$M_Q = \frac{9 \times 20}{4} = 45$$ Option (B) is correct. For option (C) Molar ratio of atoms P : Q in compound 2 is $$\frac{44.4}{M_P} : \frac{55.6}{M_Q} = 44.4M_Q : 55.6M_P = 1 : 1$$ $\($$\Rightarrow$$\)$ $$\frac{M_P}{M_Q} = \frac{44.4}{55.6}$$ Molar ratio of atoms P : Q in compound 1 is $$\frac{50}{M_P} : \frac{50}{M_Q} = M_Q : M_P$$ $$= 55.6 : 44.4$$ $$\simeq 5 : 4$$ Hence, empirical formula of compound 1 is $P_5Q_4$. Hence, option (C) is correct. For option (D) Molar ratio of atoms P : Q in compound 1 is $$\frac{50}{M_P} : \frac{50}{M_Q} = M_Q : M_P$$ $$= 35 : 70 = 1 : 2$$ Hence, empirical formula of compound 1 is $PQ_2$.

For the reaction, $M_{(s)} + 2\mathrm{H}^+{(aq)} \rightarrow \mathrm{H_2}{(g)} + \mathrm{M}^{2+}{(aq)}$, if $\frac{dE{cell}}{dT} = \frac{R}{F}$, then the entropy change of the reaction is R (assume that entropy and internal energy changes are temperature independent).
The cell reaction, $\mathrm{Pt}{(s)} | \mathrm{H_2}{(g)}, 1bar | \mathrm{H}^+{(aq)}, 0.01M || \mathrm{H}^+{(aq)}, 0.1M | \mathrm{H_2}{(g)}, 1bar | \mathrm{Pt}{(s)}$, is an entropy driven process.

$\Delta S > 0$, for $[\mathrm{Ni}(\mathrm{H_2O})_6]^{2+} + 3,en \rightarrow [\mathrm{Ni}(en)_3]^{2+} + 6\mathrm{H_2O}$ (where en = ethylenediamine).
Answer: (b), (c), (d)
Solution
Given $\Delta G = \Delta H - T \Delta S$. $$\Delta G = \Delta H + T \left( \frac{d \Delta G}{dT} \right)_p$$ $$-nF \left( \frac{dE_{cell}}{dT} \right) = -\Delta S$$ $$\frac{dE_{cell}}{dT} = \frac{\Delta S}{nF} = \frac{R}{F} (given)$$ $$\Rightarrow \Delta S = nR$$ For the reaction, $M(g) + 2H^\oplus(aq) \longrightarrow H_2(g) + M^{2\oplus}(aq)$ $n = 2$ $$\Rightarrow \Delta S = 2R$$ Hence, option (A) is incorrect. For the reaction, $Pt_{(s)} | H_2(g), 1 bar| H^\oplus_{aq}(0.01M)|| H^\oplus_{aq}, 0.1M) | H_2(g, 1 bar)| Pt_{(s)}$ $$E_{cell} = E^\circ_{cell} - \frac{0.0591}{1} \log \frac{0.01}{0.1} = 0.0591 V$$ $E_{cell}$ is positive $\Rightarrow \Delta G 0$ ($\Delta H = 0$ for concentration cells) Hence, option (B) is correct. Racemization of an optically active compound is a spontaneous process. Here, $\Delta H = 0$ (similar type of bonds are present in enantiomers) $$\Rightarrow \Delta S > 0$$ Hence, option (C) is correct. $$\left[ Ni(H_2O)_6 \right]^{2+} + 3 en \rightarrow \left[ Ni(en)_3 \right]^{2+} + 6H_2O$$ is a spontaneous process More stable complex is formed $$\Rightarrow \Delta S > 0$$

Question 51
Chemistry · The Solid State · Single correct
Atom X occupies the fcc lattice sites as well as alternate tetrahedral voids of the same lattice. The packing efficiency (in $\%$) of the resultant solid is closest to
25
35
55
75
Answer: (b)
Solution
Atom 'X' occupies FCC lattice points as well as alternate tetrahedral voids of the same lattice. Therefore, $\frac{1}{4}$th distance of body diagonal is $\frac{\sqrt{3}a}{4} = 2r_x$. Thus, $a = \frac{8r_x}{\sqrt{3}}$. The number of atoms of X per unit cell is $4 + 4 = 8$ (FCC lattice points and alternate tetrahedral voids). The percentage packing efficiency is given by: $$Percentage packing efficiency = \frac{Volume occupied by X}{Volume of cubic unit cell} \times 100$$ $$= \frac{8 \times \frac{4}{3} \pi (r_x)^3}{a^3} \times 100$$ $$= \frac{8 \times \frac{4}{3} \pi (r_x)^3}{\left(\frac{8r_x}{\sqrt{3}}\right)^3} \times 100$$ $$= \left(8 \times \frac{4}{3} \times \pi \times \frac{1}{8^3} \times 3\sqrt{3}\right) \times 100$$ $$= \frac{\sqrt{3}\pi}{16} \times 100$$ $$= 34\%$$ Hence, option (B) is the most appropriate option.
