Question 1:

In an experiment with Vernier calipers of least count 0.1 mm, when two jaws are joined together the zero of Vernier scale lies right to the zero of the main scale and 6th division of Vernier scale coincides with the main scale division. While measuring the diameter of a spherical bob, the zero of Vernier scale lies in between 3.2 cm and 3.3 cm marks, and 4th division of Vernier scale coincides with the main scale division. The diameter of bob is measured as

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

The question asks for the relationship between enthalpy change (\(\Delta H\)) and internal energy change (\(\Delta E\) or \(\Delta U\)) for a given gaseous reaction.


Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:

The relationship between enthalpy and internal energy for a reaction involving ideal gases is:
\[ \Delta H = \Delta E + \Delta n_g RT \]
where \(\Delta n_g\) is the change in the number of moles of gaseous products and reactants.


Step 3: Detailed Explanation:

Calculate \(\Delta n_g\) for the reaction: CO(g) + \(\frac{1}{2}\) O\(_2\)(g) \(\rightarrow\) CO\(_2\)(g)

Moles of gaseous products (\(n_p\)) = 1

Moles of gaseous reactants (\(n_r\)) = 1 + 0.5 = 1.5
\[ \Delta n_g = n_p - n_r = 1 - 1.5 = -0.5 \]
Since \(\Delta n_g\) is negative:
\[ \Delta H = \Delta E - 0.5 RT \]
Because \(R\) and \(T\) are positive, subtracting a positive value from \(\Delta E\) makes \(\Delta H\) smaller than \(\Delta E\).
 

Therefore, ΔH < ΔE.


Step 4: Final Answer:

The correct relationship is ΔH < ΔE.
Quick Tip: Just count the moles of gases!
If products have fewer moles of gas (Δng < 0), then ΔH < ΔE.

If products have more moles of gas (Δng > 0), then ΔH > ΔE.


Question 8:

If \(|z_1| = 2, |z_2| = 3, |z_3| = 4\) and \(|2z_1 + 3z_2 + 4z_3| = 4\), then absolute value of \(8z_2z_3 + 27z_3z_1 + 64z_1z_2\) equals

  • (A) 24
  • (B) 48
  • (C) 72
  • (D) 96

Question 9:

If a > 0, b > 0, c > 0 and a, b, c are distinct, then (a + b)(b + c)(c + a) is greater than

  • (A) \(2(a + b + c)\)
  • (B) \(3(a + b + c)\)
  • (C) \(6 abc\)
  • (D) \(8 abc\)

Question 10:

If the minimum force required to move a body up an inclined plane of inclination 45\(^\circ\) is 3 times the force required to just prevent it sliding down, the coefficient of friction is
