The concentration of Zn2+ and Cu2+ in the Daniel cell is increased ten times. The emf of the cell
- A.
Increases 10 times
- B.
Decreases by 10 times
- C.
Increases by 1/10 times
- D.
Remains constant
Correct Answer
C. Increases by 1/10 timesExplanation
When the concentration of Zn2+ and Cu2+ in the Daniel cell is increased ten times, the emf of the cell increases by 1/10 times. This is because the emf of a Daniel cell is directly proportional to the logarithm of the ratio of the concentrations of the two ions. Increasing the concentration of the ions by ten times would result in an increase in the emf by a factor of 1/10, as the logarithm of 10 is 1. Therefore, the emf of the cell increases by 1/10 times.Rate this question:

- D.
(CH3)2C - > CH3CH2- > (CH3)3CH -
Correct Answer
B. (CH3)3CH2 - > (CH3)2CH - > (CH3)3C -Explanation
The given answer indicates that the decreasing order of inductive effect in the benzyl/alkyl system is (CH3)3CH2- > (CH3)2CH- > (CH3)3C-. This means that (CH3)3CH2- has the strongest inductive effect, followed by (CH3)2CH-, and then (CH3)3C-. The inductive effect refers to the ability of an atom or group to withdraw or donate electron density through sigma bonds. In this case, the alkyl groups are donating electron density to the benzyl group, and the order of decreasing inductive effect suggests that (CH3)3CH2- is the best donor, followed by (CH3)2CH-, and then (CH3)3C-.Rate this question:

The separation of lanthanides by ion-exchange method is based on :
- A.
Size of the ions
- B.
Oxidation state of the ions
- C.
The solubilities of their nitrates
- D.
Basicity of hydroxides of Lanthanides
Correct Answer
B. Oxidation state of the ionsExplanation
The separation of lanthanides by ion-exchange method is based on the oxidation state of the ions. This is because lanthanides have similar sizes and similar solubilities of their nitrates, making it difficult to separate them based on these factors. However, lanthanides can have different oxidation states, which can be exploited to separate them using ion-exchange methods. By manipulating the pH and the complexing agents used in the ion-exchange process, different lanthanides with different oxidation states can be selectively bound to the ion-exchange resin and then eluted to achieve separation.Rate this question:

Rate of the reaction is fastest when Z is
- A.
Cl
- B.
NH2
- C.
OC2H5
- D.
OCOCH3
Correct Answer
B. NH2Explanation
The rate of a reaction is determined by the reactivity of the reactants. In this case, NH2 is the fastest reacting group because it contains a lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom, which can readily participate in chemical reactions. The lone pair can act as a nucleophile, attacking other molecules and facilitating the reaction. On the other hand, Cl, OC2H5, and OCOCH3 do not have a lone pair of electrons readily available for reaction, making them less reactive.Rate this question:

Consider the following species (1) RCH+CH3 (2) RCH2CH2+ (3) RCH2CH2+CHO In dehydration of 1 alcohols, the correct sequence of formation of species involved is
- A.
2, 1
- B.
1, 2
- C.
3, 2
- D.
2, 3
Correct Answer
C. 3, 2Explanation
In the dehydration of 1 alcohols, the correct sequence of formation of species involved is 3, 2. This means that the species RCH2CH2+CHO (3) is formed first, followed by the formation of RCH2CH2+ (2). This sequence makes sense because the dehydration of an alcohol typically involves the loss of a water molecule, which can result in the formation of an aldehyde (CHO) group. Therefore, the species with the aldehyde group (3) is formed first, and then it loses a proton to form the species without the aldehyde group (2).Rate this question:

25 ml. of a solution of barium hydroxide on titration with 0.1 molar solution of hydrochloric acid gave a titre value of 35 ml. The molarity of barium hydroxide solution was
- A.
0.07
- B.
0.14
- C.
0.28
- D.
0.35
Correct Answer
A. 0.07Explanation
The molarity of a solution can be calculated using the formula:
M1V1 = M2V2
Where M1 is the molarity of the first solution, V1 is the volume of the first solution, M2 is the molarity of the second solution, and V2 is the volume of the second solution.
In this case, the molarity of the hydrochloric acid solution is 0.1 M and the volume used is 35 ml. The volume of the barium hydroxide solution used is 25 ml. Plugging these values into the formula:
M1 * 25 ml = 0.1 M * 35 ml
M1 = (0.1 M * 35 ml) / 25 ml
M1 = 0.14 M
Therefore, the molarity of the barium hydroxide solution is 0.14 M.Rate this question:

- A.
2
- B.
3
- C.

Correct Answer
B. 3Explanation
The magnetic moment of a transition metal ion is directly related to the number of unpaired electrons present in it. In this case, the magnetic moment is given as 3.87 BM. According to Hund's rule, electrons fill up orbitals singly before pairing up. Each unpaired electron contributes 1 BM to the magnetic moment. Therefore, if the magnetic moment is 3.87 BM, it means that there are 3 unpaired electrons present in the transition metal ion.Rate this question:

When a certain amount of a non-volatile substance B is dissolved in a solvent A having a vapour pressure of 0.80 atm in the pure state, the vapour pressure is lowered to 0.60 atm. The mole fraction of B in the soluton is
- A.
0.75
- B.
0.48
- C.
0.25
- D.
0.2
Correct Answer
C. 0.25Explanation
When a non-volatile substance is dissolved in a solvent, it lowers the vapor pressure of the solvent. In this case, the vapor pressure of solvent A is lowered from 0.80 atm to 0.60 atm when substance B is dissolved in it. The mole fraction of substance B in the solution can be calculated using Raoult's law, which states that the vapor pressure of a solvent in a solution is equal to the mole fraction of the solvent multiplied by its vapor pressure in the pure state. Rearranging the equation, we can find the mole fraction of B by dividing the change in vapor pressure (0.80 atm - 0.60 atm = 0.20 atm) by the vapor pressure of the pure solvent (0.80 atm). This gives us a mole fraction of 0.25.Rate this question:

A mole of Argon at 506.5 kPa expands from 10 dm3 against a constant opposing pressure of 253.25 kPa at a constant temperature till pressure of the gas equalizes the opposing pressure. What is the work done ?
- A.
-2533 J
- B.
2000 J
- C.
854 J
- D.
-533 J
Correct Answer
A. -2533 JExplanation
The work done by a gas during expansion can be calculated using the equation: work = -PΔV, where P is the pressure and ΔV is the change in volume. In this case, the gas expands from 10 dm3 to a volume where the pressure of the gas equals the opposing pressure. Since the pressure of the gas is initially 506.5 kPa and the opposing pressure is 253.25 kPa, the change in pressure is 506.5 kPa - 253.25 kPa = 253.25 kPa. The change in volume is the final volume minus the initial volume, which is equal to 0 dm3 - 10 dm3 = -10 dm3. Plugging these values into the equation, we get work = -(253.25 kPa)(-10 dm3) = -2533 J.Rate this question:

The equilibrium constant for the reaction HONO + CN- = HCN + ONO- is 1.1 x 10-4 The magnitude of this equilibrium constant indicates that
- A.
CN- is weaker base than ONO-
- B.
HCN is weaker acid than HONO
- C.
NO- is the conjugate base of HONO
- D.
The conjugate acid of CN- is HCN.
Correct Answer
A. CN- is weaker base than ONO-Explanation
The magnitude of the equilibrium constant indicates the extent to which the reaction reaches equilibrium. A smaller magnitude indicates a lower concentration of the products compared to the reactants at equilibrium. Since the equilibrium constant for the reaction HONO + CN- = HCN + ONO- is very small (1.1 x 10-4), it suggests that the concentration of the products (HCN and ONO-) is much lower than the concentration of the reactants (HONO and CN-) at equilibrium. Therefore, CN- is a weaker base than ONO- because it is less likely to accept a proton and form the product HCN.Rate this question:

- C.
3 > 1 > 2
- D.

Correct Answer
D. 3 > 2 > 1Explanation
In the given question, the compounds are dehydrogenated by treatment with a strong base under identical conditions. Dehydrogenation is a process in which hydrogen atoms are removed from a compound. In this case, the strongest base is likely to abstract the hydrogen atom most easily.
Compound 3, (CH3)3CBr, has a tertiary carbon atom, which means it has the most substituted carbon atom among the three compounds. Tertiary carbons are more stable and less reactive compared to primary (compound 1) and secondary (compound 2) carbons. Therefore, compound 3 is the least reactive and will be dehydrogenated last.
Compound 2, CH3CHBrCH3, has a secondary carbon atom and will be dehydrogenated before compound 3.
Compound 1, CH3CH2CH2Br, has a primary carbon atom and will be the most reactive and dehydrogenated first.

List the hydrogen halide acid in decreasing order of reactivity in the following reaction ROH + HX → RX + H2O
- A.
HBr > HI > HCl > HF
- B.
HI > HBr > HCl > HF
- C.
HI > HF > HBr > HCl
- D.
HI > HCl > HBr > HF
Correct Answer
B. HI > HBr > HCl > HFExplanation
In the given reaction, ROH (an alcohol) reacts with HX (a hydrogen halide acid) to form RX (an alkyl halide) and H2O (water). The reactivity of the hydrogen halide acids in this reaction is determined by their ability to donate a proton (H+). HI (hydrogen iodide) is the most reactive because iodine is the largest halogen and has the weakest bond with hydrogen, making it easier to donate the proton. HBr (hydrogen bromide) is the next most reactive due to bromine's larger size compared to chlorine and fluorine. HCl (hydrogen chloride) is less reactive than HBr because chlorine is smaller and has a stronger bond with hydrogen. HF (hydrogen fluoride) is the least reactive due to fluorine's small size and strong bond with hydrogen. Therefore, the correct order of decreasing reactivity is HI > HBr > HCl > HF.Rate this question:

- B.
1 > 2 > 3
- C.
2 > 3 > 1
- D.
2 > 1 > 3
Correct Answer
A. 1 > 3 > 2Explanation
The boiling point of amines is influenced by the strength of intermolecular forces, which in turn depends on the molecular size and shape. In this case, n-butyl amine (1) has the highest boiling point because it has the longest carbon chain, resulting in more surface area for intermolecular interactions. Diethylamine (3) has a lower boiling point than n-butyl amine because it has a shorter carbon chain. Ethyl dimethyl amine (2) has the lowest boiling point because it is a smaller molecule with no branching, resulting in weaker intermolecular forces. Therefore, the correct sequence of boiling points is 1 > 3 > 2.Rate this question:

0, +1, -2
- B.
+2, +1 and -2
- C.
0, +1 and +2
- D.
-2, +1, -2
Correct Answer
A. 0, +1, -2Explanation
The oxidation number of an element is the charge it would have in a compound if all the bonding electrons were assigned to the more electronegative atom. In S8, sulphur exists as an element and does not gain or lose any electrons, so its oxidation number is 0. In S2F2, each sulphur atom gains one electron from fluorine, resulting in an oxidation number of +1. In H2S, hydrogen is assigned an oxidation number of +1, so the remaining charge must be balanced by sulphur, resulting in an oxidation number of -2. Therefore, the oxidation numbers of sulphur in S8, S2F2, and H2S are 0, +1, and -2 respectively.Rate this question:

The equation of the common tangent to the curves y^2 = 8x and xy = -1 is given by 2y = x + 8. This can be derived by finding the point of intersection between the two curves and then finding the slope of the tangent at that point. The slope of the tangent is equal to the product of the slopes of the curves at the point of intersection. By substituting the coordinates of the point of intersection into the equation of the tangent, we can find the equation of the common tangent.Rate this question:

- A.
8
- B.
16
- C.
18
- D.
None of these
Correct Answer
D. None of theseExplanation
If the function has a local minimum at x = 2, then the derivative of the function at x = 2 must be equal to zero. Taking the derivative of f(x) with respect to x, we get f'(x) = 2x - a/x^2. Setting this equal to zero and solving for x, we get 2x - a/x^2 = 0. Multiplying through by x^2, we get 2x^3 - a = 0. Solving for x, we find that x = (a/2)^(1/3). Since x = 2, we can substitute this into the equation to find that (a/2)^(1/3) = 2. Solving for a, we get a = 16. Therefore, the value of a is 16.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
D.Explanation
Since a, b, c are in arithmetic progression (A.P.), the common difference between any two consecutive terms is the same. Let's assume the common difference is 'd'. Therefore, we can write b = a + d and c = a + 2d.
Given that a^2, b^2, c^2 are in geometric progression (G.P.), the common ratio between any two consecutive terms is the same. Let's assume the common ratio is 'r'. Therefore, we can write b^2 = a^2 * r and c^2 = b^2 * r.
Using the given equation a + b + c = 3/2, we can substitute the values of b and c to get a + (a + d) + (a + 2d) = 3/2. Simplifying this equation, we get 3a + 3d = 3/2.
Substituting the value of b^2 = a^2 * r, we can rewrite it as (a + d)^2 = a^2 * r. Expanding and simplifying this equation, we get a^2 + 2ad + d^2 = a^2 * r.
Substituting the value of c^2 = b^2 * r, we can rewrite it as (a + 2d)^2 = (a + d)^2 * r. Expanding and simplifying this equation, we get a^2 + 4ad + 4d^2 = (a^2 + 2ad + d^2) * r.
Now we have two equations:
1) 3a + 3d = 3/2
2) a^2 + 4ad + 4d^2 = (a^2 + 2ad + d^2) * r
By solving these equations simultaneously, we can find the value of 'a'.Rate this question:

2x+3y+44 = 0
- B.
2x - 3y + 44 = 0
- C.
2x +3y -44 = 0
- D.
2x = 3y
Correct Answer
C. 2x +3y -44 = 0Explanation
The equation of the normal at a point on the parabola y^2 = 36x, whose ordinate is three times its abscissa, can be found using the formula: y = mx - 2am - am^3, where m is the slope of the tangent at that point and a is the distance from the focus to the directrix. In this case, since the ordinate is three times the abscissa, we can substitute y = 3x into the formula. Simplifying the equation, we get 2x + 3y - 44 = 0.Rate this question:

The given series is a product of three consecutive odd numbers starting from 1. The general term of the series can be written as (2n - 1)(2n + 1)(2n + 3). By simplifying this expression, we get 8n^3 + 24n^2 + 18n - 2n^2 - 6n - 3. Combining like terms, we get 8n^3 + 22n^2 + 12n - 3. Factoring out n from this expression, we get n(8n^3 + 22n^2 + 12n - 3). Therefore, the correct answer is n(8n^3 + 22n^2 + 12n - 3).Rate this question:

80720
- B.
90720
- C.
20860
- D.
37528
Correct Answer
B. 90720Explanation
The word "MATHEMATICS" has 11 letters. To form a word that starts and ends with "T", we need to fix "T" at the first and last position. The remaining 9 letters can be arranged in 9! ways. However, the letter "M" appears twice, so we need to divide by 2!. Similarly, the letter "A" appears twice, so we need to divide by 2! again. Therefore, the total number of words that can be formed is 9! / (2! * 2!) = 90720.Rate this question:

- B.
Y2 + 2xy + x2 = k
- C.
Y2 +2xy + x2 = 0
- D.
Y2 - 2xy + x2 = k
Correct Answer
C. Y2 +2xy + x2 = 0Explanation
The given differential equation is a homogeneous equation, which means it can be written in the form of M(x,y)dx + N(x,y)dy = 0, where M(x,y) = (x - y) and N(x,y) = (x + y). To solve this type of equation, we can make a substitution y = vx, where v is a function of x. Substituting this into the equation and simplifying, we get (1 + v)dv = -dx/x. Integrating both sides, we obtain v + ln|x| = C, where C is the constant of integration. Substituting y = vx back in, we have y + ln|x| = C, which can be rearranged as y^2 + 2xy + x^2 = k, where k is another constant. Therefore, the correct answer is y^2 + 2xy + x^2 = k.Rate this question:

- A.
5
- B.
10

None of these
Correct Answer
C. 15Explanation
In the expansion of (1+x)^n, the coefficient of x^k represents the number of ways to choose k items from a set of n items. If the sum of the coefficients of x^5 is 0, it means that there are no ways to choose 5 items from a set of n items. This can only happen if n is less than 5, so the value of n cannot be 5 or 10. Therefore, the only possible value for n is 15.Rate this question:

Let A and B be two 2 X 2 matrices. Consider the statements : i) AB= O A = O or B = O ii) AB =I2 A = B-1 iii) (A + B)2 = A2 + 2AB + B2 In this case

(i) and (iii) are false but (ii) is true
- C.
(i) and (ii) are false but (iii) is true
- D.
(ii) and (iii) are false but (i) is true
Correct Answer
B. (i) and (iii) are false but (ii) is trueExplanation
The statement (i) states that if AB = O (zero matrix), then either A = O or B = O. This statement is false because it is possible for AB to equal O without either A or B being O.
The statement (ii) states that if AB = I2 (identity matrix), then A = B-1 (inverse of B). This statement is true because for AB to equal the identity matrix, A must be the inverse of B.
The statement (iii) states that (A + B)2 = A2 + 2AB + B2. This statement is false because in general, (A + B)2 is not equal to A2 + 2AB + B2.
Therefore, the correct answer is that (i) and (iii) are false but (ii) is true.Rate this question:

- A.
9/2
- B.
5/2
- C.
![Structures Of The Molecular Formula - Quiz]()
- D.
3/2
Correct Answer
C.Explanation
The greatest value of the function f(x) = 2 sin x + sin^2x is 5/2. To find the maximum value, we can take the derivative of f(x) and set it equal to zero. The derivative of f(x) is 2 cos x + 2 sin x cos x. Setting this equal to zero, we get cos x + sin x cos x = 0. Simplifying further, we have cos x (1 + sin x) = 0. This equation is satisfied when cos x = 0 or sin x = -1. The maximum value of f(x) occurs when sin x = -1, which happens at x = 3π/2. Plugging this value into f(x), we get f(3π/2) = 2(-1) + (-1)^2 = 5/2.Rate this question:

- A.
0
- B.
1
- C.
2
- D.

Correct Answer
A. 0Explanation
The given pair of equations can be simplified as follows: 2sin2θ - cos 2θ = 0 can be rewritten as sin2θ = cos2θ, and 2cos2θ - 2sinθ = 0 can be rewritten as cos2θ = sinθ. By substituting the value of sin2θ from the first equation into the second equation, we get cos2θ = cos2θ, which is always true. This means that the two equations are equivalent and have infinitely many solutions. Therefore, the correct answer is 0, as there are no specific values of θ that satisfy the equations.Rate this question:
