Rate of her upstream = 12/2.5 = 4.8 km/hr

Then, ATQ

Rate of downstream = 4.8 x 3 = 14.4 km/hr

 

Hence, the distance she covers downstream in 5 hrs = 14.4 x 5 = 72 kms.

Q:

Which reaction occurs spontaneously?

A) Cl2(g) + 2NaF(aq)--> F2(g) + 2NaCl(aq) B) I2(s) + 2NaF(aq)--> F2(g) + 2NaI(aq)
C) Cl2(g) + 2NaBr(aq)-->Br2(l) + 2NaCl(aq) D) I2(s) + 2NaBr(aq)--> Br2(l) + 2NaI(aq)
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Cl2(g) + 2NaBr(aq)-->Br2(l) + 2NaCl(aq)

Explanation:

In this chemical reaction chlorine change oxidation number from 0 to -1 (reduction) and bromine change oxidation number from -1 to 0 (oxidation).

Chlorine is stronger oxidation reagent than bromine.

In VIIA or group 17 (halogen elements) there are six elements: fluorine (F), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br), iodine (I), astatine (At) and tennessin(Ts).

They have high electronegativity because they have seven valence electrons in their outermost energy level, so they can gain an electron to have the octet rule.  

Going down in the group, element are weaker oxidazing reagent and less reactive.

Q:

Mary is 12 years younger to Pinky. After 3 years, the ratio of their ages will be 5:8. If the present age of Sam is the sum of ages of Mary and Pinky, then what was the age of Sam 15 years back ?

A) 31 years B) 37 years
C) 46 years D) 29 years
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 31 years

Explanation:

Let the present age of Pinky be x years

 

Then the age of Mary is x - 12 years

 

After 3 years,

 

Ratio of  MaryPinky = x - 9x + 3 = 58

 

8x - 72 = 5x +15

 

=> 3x = 87

 

=> x = 29

 

=> Age of Pinky = 29 years

 

=> Age of Mary = 29 - 12 = 17 years

 

Present age of Sam = 29 + 17 = 46

 

Before 15 years Sam age = 46 - 15 = 31 years.
