Q:

The molecular mass of sulphuric acid is 98. If 49 g of the acid is dissolved in water to make one litre of solution, what will be the strength of the acid?

A) Two normal B) One normal
C) 0.5 normal D) Four normal
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) One normal

Explanation:

Normality is a way of expressing concentration of a solution and can be calculated by the formula-

Normality (N) = No. of gram equivalent of solute/ volume of solution (in litre)

Gram equivalent weight of H2 SO4 = Molecular weight/ No. of Hydrogen atom = 98/2 = 49 gm

No. of gram equivalent in 49 gm of H2 SO4 = 1

So, Normality in 1 litre of solution = 1/1 = 1 N

Q:

In which layer is the pressure the highest?

A) Ionosphere B) Stratosphere
C) Troposphere D) Inner core
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Inner core

Explanation:

"Pressure" is the ratio of mass to area. So, for any given area, the one with more mass pressing on it will experience a higher pressure.

 

As you go more deeply into the atmosphere OR earth itself, you are putting more and more mass over you. For the same unit area therefore, the pressure, (mass/area) increases.

 

Hence, the lowest layer will always have the highest pressure i.e, inner core.

Q:

A bucket of water is hung from a spring balance. A piece of iron is suspended in the water without touching the sides or touching the bottom of the the bucket. The reading of the spring balance

A) will increase B) will decrease
C) does not change D) varies with the increase of depth of the immersion of the iron piece
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) will increase

Explanation:

When the piece of iron is lowered into the water, the water level in the bucket increases. And so the pressure at the bottom of bucket also increases. Thus the total thrust at bottom also increases. Therefore the spring balance reading increases. Thus (a) is correct.
