Q:

What does one mole of H2O correspond to

A) 16 gms B) 18 gms
C) 20 gms D) 22 gms
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 18 gms

Explanation:

The molar mass of H2O can be calculated as the following.

M(H2O)= [2 x M(H)] + [M(O)].

And we know that M(H) = 1g/mol, M(O) = 16g/mol.

So, M(H2O)= 2x1 + 16 = 18g/mol,

That means 1 mole of H2O contains 18g.

 

Hence, one mole of H2O corresponds to 18 grams.

Q:

640 ml of a mixture contains milk and water in ratio 6:2. How much of the water is to be added to get a new mixture containing half milk and half water ?

A) 360 ml B) 320 ml
C) 310 ml D) 330 ml
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 320 ml

Explanation:

Here total parts of milk and water in the solution is 6+2 = 8 parts.

1part = 640/8 = 80

 

old mixture contains 6parts of milk and 2 parts of water(6:2).

 

To get new mixture containing half milk and half water, add 4parts of water to the old mixture then 6:(2+4) to make the ratio same.

i.e, 4 x 80 = 320 ml.

A) 60 kmph B) 62 kmph
C) 64 kmph D) 63 kmph
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 60 kmph

Explanation:

Speed of lorry = 36012 = 30 kmph

Speed of van =250100 x 30 = 75 kmph

Speed of bike = 35 x 75 = 45 kmph

Therefore, now required average speed of bike and van  = 75 + 452= 60 kmph.
