A) 17	B) 19
C) 23	D) 25

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 17

Explanation:

$\log (2^{56})$ =56*0.30103 =16.85768.

Q:

A cylindrical rod of iron, whose height is equal to its radius, is melted and cast into spherical balls whose radius is half the radius of the rod. Find the number of balls.

A) 3	B) 4
C) 5	D) 6

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 6

Explanation:

Volume of rod = ${πr}^{2} h$ = ${πr}^{2} \times r$ = ${πr}^{3}$

Volume of one spherical ball =r/2

Volume of the spherical ball = $\frac{\frac{4}{3} {πr}^{3}}{8}$

Number of balls=Volumeof rod/volumeof one ball

Q:

An atom has 7 electrons in its M - shell and contains 18 neutrons in its nucleus. What is its mass number

A) 25	B) 27
C) 35	D) 43

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 35

Explanation:

According to Bohr model, Each shell can occupy 2 $n^{2}$ electrons in their orbits where n=1,2,3.. for K,L,M,..

The atom has 2 electrons in k, 8 electrons in L and 7 electrons in M = 2 + 8 + 7 = 17

And given that its nucleus has 18 neutrons

=> its mass number = number of (electrons + neutrons ) = 17 + 18 = 35
