Q:

Answer the following Program

#define CHARSIZE 8

#define MASK(y) (1 << y % CHARSIZE)

#define BITSLOT (y) (y / CHARSIZE)

#define SET(x,y) ( x[BITSLOT(y)] = MASK(y) )

#define TEST(x,y) ( x[BITSLOT(y)] & MASK(y) )

#define NUMSLOTS(n) ((n + CHARSIZE - 1) / CHARSIZE)

 

Give the above macros how would you

1. declare an array arr of 50 bits

2. put the 20th bit on

3. test whether the 40th bit is on or off

Answer

1. char arr[NUMSLOTS(50)];


2. SET (arr, 20);


3. if (TEST (arr, 40))

Q:

Which of the following is an air pollutant?

A) Sulphur dioxide B) Ozone
C) Water vapour D) Nitric oxide
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Sulphur dioxide

Explanation:

Air pollutants are solid particles, gases, and liquid droplets in the air that can adversely affect ecosystems and the health of humans.

 

Major ambient air pollutants include toxic metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, benzene, particulate matter (PM), nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, carbon monoxide, and ozone. Power plants, factories, and vehicle and air traffic are the most important anthropogenic sources of air pollution.

 

In addition, natural sources such as wildfires and volcanic activity contribute to ambient air pollution.

Q:

Which of the following reactions are redox reactions?

A) Ba(s)+Cl2(g)--->BaCl2(s) B) Mg(s)+Br2(l)--->MgBr2(s)
C) Al(s)+3Ag^+(aq)--->Al^3+(aq)+3Ag(s) D) All of the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) All of the above

Explanation:

A redox reaction is a type of reaction which involves transfer of electrons among two species. This reaction is also called oxidation-reduction reaction.

In oxidation process, there is an increase in oxidation state of an atom, ion or molecule by losing the electrons.

In reduction process, there is a decrease in oxidation state of an atom, ion or molecule by accepting the electrons.

1)

In this reaction, Ba undergoes oxidation and Cl undergoes reduction.
This reaction is redox reaction.
In this reaction, oxidation number of Ba increases from 0 to +2 . So, Ba undergoes oxidation. The oxidation number of Cl decreases from 0 to -1. So, Cl undergoes reduction.

 

2)

From this above reaction, it is clear that Aluminum undergoes oxidation and silver undergoes reduction.
Due to this, this reaction is redox reaction.

In this reaction, oxidation number of Aluminum increases from 0 to +1. So, aluminum undergoes oxidation. The oxidation number of silver decreases from +1 to 0. So, silver undergoes reduction.

 

3)


image

In this reaction, Mg undergoes oxidation and Br undergoes reduction.
This reaction is redox reaction.
The reactions 1, 3 and 4 are redox reactions.
In this reaction, oxidation number of Mg increases from 0 to +2 . So, Mg undergoes oxidation. The oxidation number of Br decreases from 0 to -1 . So, Br undergoes reduction.

 

Hence all the above reactions are redox reactions.
