Q:

Two persons start running simultaneously around a circular track of length 600 m from the same point at speeds of 25 kmph and 35 kmph. When will they meet for the first time any where on the track  ?

A) 54 sec B) 36 sec
C) 72 sec D) 11 sec
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 36 sec

Explanation:

Time taken to meet the first time = length of track/relative speed

 

Given the length of the track is 600 m

 

The relative speed = 25 + 35 = 60 kmph = 60 x 5/18 m

 

Therefore Time = 60025+35518= 600/60 x (18/5) = 36 sec.

Q:

Which solution has the highest pH?

A) 50.0 mL 0.0500 M calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)2 (aq) B) 50.0 mL 0.0500 M sodium hydroxide, NaOH (aq)
C) 50.0 mL 0.0500 M nitric acid, HNO3 (aq) D) 50.0 mL 0.0500 M nitrous acid, HNO2 (aq)
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 50.0 mL 0.0500 M calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)2 (aq)

Explanation:

50.0 mL 0.0500 M calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)2 (aq) has the highest pH value.

Sodium hydroxide and Calcium hydroxide are strong bases so they completely ionize in solution. Because they ionize at the same rate, and Calcium hydroxide has the higher pH calculated, then Calcium hydroxide, in fact, has the highest pH.

Nitric acid is a strong acid, so it completely ionizes in water. Whilst nitrous acid is a weak acid. Therefore, the nitric acid solution has the LOWEST ph.

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Lose electrons and forms cations

Explanation:

When combining with nonmetallic atoms, metallic atoms generally will Lose electrons and forms cations.

 

As the ionization energy of te metals are very low, so they can easily lose electrons and form positively charged ion called cations.

Q:

A tin a mixture of two liquids A and B in the proportion 4 : 1. If 45 litres of the mixture is replaced by 45 litres of liquid B, then the ratio of the two liquids becomes 2 : 5. How much of the liquid B was there in the tin? What quantity does the tin hold?

A) 58 l B) 65 l
C) 50 l D) 62 l
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 50 l

Explanation:

Let the tin contain 5x litres of liquids

5x - 45 x 455x - 45 x 15 + 45 = 25

=> 5(4x - 36) = 2(x + 36)

=> 20x - 180 = 2x + 72

=> x = 14 litres

Hence, the initial quantity of mixture = 70l

Quantity of liquid B

70 - 45 x 15 + 45 

= 50 litres.
