There is a time in every man's education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide; that he must take himself for better, for worse, as his portion; that though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given to him to till. The power which resides in him is new in nature, and none but he knows what that is which he can do, nor does he know until he has tried. Not for nothing one face, one character, one fact, makes much impression on him, and another none. This sculpture in the memory is not without pre-established harmony. The eye was placed where one ray should fall, that it might testify of that particular ray. We but half express ourselves, and are ashamed of that divine idea which each of us represents. It may be safely trusted as proportionate and of good issues, so it be faithfully imparted, but God will not have his work made manifest by cowards. A man is relieved and gay when he has put his heart into his work and has done his best; but what he has said or done otherwise, shall give him no peace. It is a deliverance which does not deliver. In the attempt his genius deserts him; no muse befriends; no invention, no hope.

Q:

For a certain reaction,DGq = -45 kJ/mol and DHq= -90 kJ/mol at 0°C. What is the minimum temperature at which the reaction will become spontaneous, ifDHq and DSq are independent of temperature?

A) 273 K B) 298 K
C) 546 K D) 596 K
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 546 K

Explanation:

T = 273 °K

Using the formula,

DGq = DHq –TDS

-45 = -90 –273 DS

DS = 0.164

Now since DHq and DSq are independent,T2= DH/DS = 45/0.164 = 273°K

Required Temp = 273 + 273 = 546°K

Q:

Which  one  of  the  following  statements  is not correct?

A) The    cathode    rays    originate    from cathode   and   proceed   towards   the anode   in   a   cathode-ray   discharge tube. B) The television picture tubes are nothing but cathode ray tubes.
C) The  cathode  rays  themselves  are  not visible. D) The   characteristics   of   cathode   rays depend  upon  the  nature  of  the  gas present in the cathode-ray tube.
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) The   characteristics   of   cathode   rays depend  upon  the  nature  of  the  gas present in the cathode-ray tube.

Explanation:

Cathode ray is a beam of electrons emitted   from   the   cathode   of   a vacuum    tube.    It    is    invisible. Cathode  ray  tubes  are  also  found in     televisions     and     computer monitors.  Since  cathode  ray  is  a beam of electrons and all electrons are  identical,  charge  to  mass  ratio is same for all the gases and does not depend on the nature of gas.
