www.careers360.com Back to Index 107


Now we know,

22400 mL = 1 mol at STP

so, 1 mL = 1/22400 mol at STP

now, 5600 ml = 5600/22400 mole at STP

so, 5600ml = 0.25 mol at STP.

But we have to find weight because in the formula there is W.

so, mole = weight / molar mass

then 0.25 mol = weight / 32

(molar mass of O2 = 32 gram /mol)

so, the weight of O2 = 0.25 X 32

Now, equivalent mass of O2 = molar mass / valancy

Now, equivalent mass of O2 = 32/(2+2) = 8 , Due to 2 oxygen atoms.

Now, we have

WAg = 108

Correct Answer:

Solution:
As we learnt in

Summation of series of natural numbers -

and

Now,

f(x) = ax2 + bx + c

a+b+c=3

f(x+y) = f(x) + f(y)+xy

Then

f(1) = a + b + c =3

f(1) =3

put x = 1, y = 1

f(2) = f(1) + f(1) + 1 1

=2f(1)+1

=2 3+1=7
www.careers360.com Back to Index 158
put x=1, y = 2

f(3)= f(1)+f(2)+2 1

=3+7+2

=12

Similarly f(4) = 18 (By putting x = 2 and y = 2)

f(1)+f(2)+f(3)+ f(4)+.....------= 3+7+12+18---

Now, as differences of cosecutive terms are 4, 5, 6, ..... which is an AP, so

Let An2+Bn+C

put n =1: 3 = A+B+C

At n =2: 7 = 4A+2B+C

At n =3: 12 = 9A+3B+C

Q. 10 An unbiased coin is tossed eight times. The probability of obtaining at least one head and at
least one tail is:

Option 1:

Option 2:

Option 3:

Option 4:

www.careers360.com Back to Index 163


Correct Answer:

Solution:
Number of throws = 8

Let 'getting at least one head' be represented by A, and 'getting at least one tail' be represented by B

P(Atleast one H and atleast one T)

= P (A ∩ B)

= 1 - P ((A ∩ B)')

= 1 - P (A' U B') (Using DeMorgan's Law)

Now A' means getting no Head (all tails) and B' means getting no Tails (all heads)

= 1 - ( P(A') + P(B') - 0) (As A' ∩ B' is empty set)

Q. 11 For two 3 × 3 matrices A and B, let A + B = 2B' and 3A + 2B = I3, where B' is the transpose of B
and I3 is 3 × 3 identity matrix. Then :

Option 1:
5A + 10B = 2I3

Option 2:
10A + 5B = 3I3

Option 3:
B + 2A = I3

Option 4:
3A + 6B = 2I3

Correct Answer:
10A + 5B = 3I3

Solution:
Given A + B = 2B' .............(1)

Taking transpose of both the sides

www.careers360.com Back to Index 164


(A + B)' = (2B')'

A' + B' = 2(B')'

A' + B' = 2B ...........(2)

Also given, 3A + 2B = I ....(3)

Taking transpose of both the sides

3A' + 2B' = I ....(4)

(Note: Transpose of I is I itself)

Now from these 4 equations we need to get a relation in A and B by eliminating A' and B'

Let us first eliminate B'

From (4): 3A' + A + B = I (Using (1)) ....(5)

And 2 x (2):

2A' + 2B' = 4B

2A' + A + B = 4B

2A' + A - 3B = 0 .....(6)

From (5) and (6) we can eliminate A' as well

From (5): 3A' = I - A - B .....(7)

From (6): 2A' = 3B - A .....(8)

2x(7) - 3x(8): 0 = 2I + A - 11B .....(9)

From (9) and (3): A = B = I/5

For option (B) : 10A + 5B = 2I + I = 3I

Hence option (B) is correct

Option 2:
Only (a) and (c) are correct.

Option 3:
Only (b) and (c) are correct

Option 4:
All (a), (b) and (c) are correct.

Correct Answer:
All (a), (b) and (c) are correct.

Solution:
Let P denote families owning a phone, C denote families owning a car

Let us find all the percentages first

Families owning none of phone or car = n(U) - n(P ∪ C) = 65 (given)

n(U) - n(P ∪ C) = 65 (given)

100 - n(P ∪ C) = 65

n(P ∪ C) = 35% (statement (b) is correct)

Also, n(P ∪ C) = n(P) + n(C) - n(P ∩ C)

35 = 25 + 15 - n(P ∩ C)

n(P ∩ C) = 5%

So families owning both phone and car is 5% (statement (a) is correct)

Let x families live in the town.

So, 5% of x = 2,000

mole fraction.

Option 4:
Two sucrose solutions of same molality prepared in different solvents will have the same freezing
point depression.

Correct Answer:
Two sucrose solutions of same molality prepared in different solvents will have the same freezing
point depression.

Solution:
As we have learnt
Freezing -
Freezing occurs when liquid solvent is in equilibrium with solid solvent. As non volatile solute decreases, the vapour
pressure freezing point decreases.

The extent of depression in freezing point varies with the number of solute particles for a fixed solvent
only and it is a characteristics feature of the nature of solvent also. So for two different solvents the
extent of depression may vary even if number of solute particles be dissolved.

Acid strength is the measure of the ability of the acid to lose its H+ ion.

sp hybridised carbon atoms are more electronegative than sp2 hybridised carbon atoms, which are in
turn more electronegative than sp3 carbon atoms.

The reason for the difference in electronegativity is that p orbitals are on average further away from the
nucleus than s orbitals, so the more p-orbital contribution you have to the hybrid orbital, the less
electronegative the hybrid orbital. sp orbitals are said to have the greatest "s-character" and sp3 orbitals
the least.

Hence, the acidic nature of these species can be decided on the basis of the greater electronegativity of
alkynes carbons which would stabilise the conjugate base

Now we have to select 8 digits to form an 8-digit number, which means we have to reject 2 no.s while
keeping the sum divisible by 9

So, (0,9), (1,8) (2,7), (3,6) ,(4,5) can be rejected.

1) if (0,9) is rejected, we can form numbers in 8 ! ways

2) If other 4 sets are rejected, we can form numbers in 7 (7!) (0 can't be at first place)

Let us first find places for odd numbers

1,1,3 can come at any of the 4 even places (2nd, 4th, 6th and 8th)

First select three places for them in 4C3 ways (=4)

Now, 1,1,3 can be arranged in these 3 places in (3!)/(2!) ways (=3)

So, number of ways for arranging 1,1,3 = 4 x 3 = 12

Option 3:
the ratio of chemical species to each other in a balanced equation.

Option 4:
the ratio of elements to each other in a compund.

Correct Answer:
the mass of one mole of carbon.

Solution:
As we learnt in

One mole is the amount of a substance that contains as many particles or entities as there are atoms in
exactly 12 g (or 0.012 kg) of the 12C isotope.

1 mole of substance = 6.0221367 X 1023 units of that substance (such as atoms, molecules, or ions). The
number 6.0221367 X 1023 is known as Avogadro's number or Avogadro's constant.

1 mol of carbon has mass = 12 g

atoms of carbon mass = 12 g

So if now, 1 mole = 6.022 1020

then 6.022 1020 atoms of carbon mass =

1 mol of carbon atom mass = 0.012 g

Hence, option number (2) is correct.

Correct Answer:
Electron repulsion outweighs the stability gained by achieving noble gas configuration
Solution:
The first electron gain enthalpy of the Oxygen atom is negative, as when the electron is added, the
attractive forces between the incoming electron and nucleus outweigh the repulsions in between
electrons.

But on adding the second electron, the repulsions take over attractive forces, hence it's an endothermic
process.

Correct Answer:

Solution:
Difinition of Tautomerism -

Tautomers are isomers of a compound that differ only in the position of the protons and electrons. The
carbon skeleton of the compound is unchanged. A reaction that involves simple proton transfer in an
intramolecular fashion is called tautomerism.

The stability of enol depends on the factors

(1) Resonance

(2) Hydrogen-bonding

(3) Hyperconjugation

(4) Hydrogen which is removed from - carbon should be acidic in Nature for enol formation.

CH2 is present between 2-

electron-withdrawing group, It is having acid 'H'

Over the resonance effect decreases because of cross conjugation. So the stability of the enol form
decreases.

The two -dicarbonyl compounds have a higher enol content than the two mono carbonyl compounds
because hydrogen bonding and conjugation stabilize their enols. The enol content in C (a mono aldehyde)
is higher than D because of the reasons outlined above.

Therefore, option (2) is correct.

www.careers360.com Back to Index 848


ELECTROCHEMISTRY
Electrochemistry is the branch of the science that deals with the transformation of chemical energy into
electrical energy and vice versa or it deals with the relationship between electrical and chemical energy
produced in a redox reaction.

Electrolytic Cell
Consider the following redox reaction:

In the above reaction, Zn displaces copper ions (Cu2+) from aqueous solution. This reaction can be
achieved very easily in practice. Put a Zn rod into a solution of CuSO4 (containing Cu2+ ions). It is observed
that the blue colour of CuSO4 solution disappears after some time. In this situation, Zn loses 2 electrons
per atom and Cu2+ ions in the solution accepts them. Cu2+ ions from solution in this manner are
deposited out in the form of solid Cu and Zn goes into the solution as Zn2+ (colourless). The reaction can
well be understood in terms of two half-reactions:

Now, we can make the same reaction take place even if the copper ions and zinc rod are not in direct
contact. If we put the Cu2+ ions and Zn rod in two separate containers and connect the two by a
conducting metallic wire and introduce an inverted U shape instrument (called as salt-bridge), then
electrons will still be transferred through the connecting wires. The electrons from Zn rod travel to Cu2+
ions through the connecting wires and the same reaction takes place.

Option 2:
They retain metallic conductivity.

Option 3:
They are chemically reactive.

Option 4:
They are much harder than the pure metal.

Correct Answer:
They are chemically reactive.

Solution:
Formation of Interstitial Compounds -

Interstitial compounds are those which are formed when small atoms like H, C, or N are trapped inside
the crystal lattices of metals. They are usually nonstoichiometric and are neither typically ionic nor
covalent, for example, TiC, Mn4N, Fe3H, VH0.56, and TiH1.7, etc. The formulas quoted do not, of course,
correspond to any normal oxidation state of the metal. Because of the nature of their composition, these
compounds are referred to as interstitial compounds. The principal physical and chemical characteristics
of these compounds are as follows:
(i) They have high melting points, higher than those of pure metals.
(ii) They are very hard, some borides approach diamonds in hardness.
(iii) They retain metallic conductivity.
(iv) They are chemically inert.

Interstitial compounds are chemically unreactive, much harder than pure metal, they have a higher
melting point than pure metal, and retain metallic conductivity.

Alkyl halides are reactive than aryl halides, as the halogen is readily available in alkyl halides than in aryl
halides due to the presence of partial double bonds between the halogen and the benzene group and
resonance also stabilizes the aryl halides. Among the alkyl halides, more stable the carbocation more is its
reactivity, tertiary carbocation bearing halides are more reactive than secondary and primary. Nitro group

n (A ∪ B ∪ C) = n (A) + n (B) + n (C) – n (A ∩ B) – n (A ∩ C) – n (B ∩ C) + n (A ∩ B ∩ C)

- wherein

Given A, B and C be any finite sets. then Number of Elements in union A , B & C is given by this formula.

From the concept,

Let n(M) = no. of students opted maths = 70

n(P) = student opted physics = 40

n(C) = student opted chemistry = 28

n(M ∩ P) = number of students opted for physics and maths = 23

n(M ∩ C) = number of students opted for maths and chemistry = 14

n(P ∩ C) = number of students opted for physics and chemistry = 9

n(M ∩ P ∩ C) = number of students opted for all three students = 4

So the total number of students who opted for at least one subject =

n(M ⋃ P ⋃ C) = n(M) + n(P) + n(C) - n(M ∩ P) - n(M ∩ C) - n(P ∩ C) + n(M ∩ P ∩ C)

So putting the values, we have

n(M ⋃ P ⋃ C) = 70+46+28-23-14-9+4 = 102

Hence total no. of students who not adopted for any course = total number of students -total number of
students who opted for at least one course = 140 - 102 = 38
