Consider the following cell reaction:
2Fe(s) + O2(g) + 4H+(aq) 2Fe2+(aq) + 2H2O(l); E° = 1.67 V
At [Fe2+] = 10-3 M, P(O2) = 0.1 atom and pH = 3, the cell potential (in V) at 25°C is
    Correct answer is '1.57'. Can you explain this answer?

    Lakshmi Roy answered
    The given cell reaction is as follows:
    2Fe(s) + O2(g) + 4H+(aq) -> 2Fe2+(aq) + 2H2O(l)

    To determine the cell potential, we need to use the Nernst equation, which is given by:
    E = E° - (0.0592/n) log(Q)

    where E is the cell potential, E° is the standard cell potential, n is the number of moles of electrons transferred in the balanced equation, and Q is the reaction quotient.

    Given:
    E° = 1.67 V
    [Fe2+] = 10^-3 M
    P(O2) = 0.1 atm
    pH = 3

    First, let's calculate the reaction quotient Q:
    Q = [Fe2+]^2[H2O]/[O2][H+]^4

    Since the coefficients in the balanced equation are all 1, we can simplify the expression to:
    Q = [Fe2+]^2[H2O]/[O2][H+]^4

    Substituting the given values:
    Q = (10^-3)^2/(0.1)(10^-3)^4
    Q = 10^-6/(10^-1)(10^-12)
    Q = 10^-6/(10^-13)
    Q = 10^7

    Now we can plug the values into the Nernst equation to find the cell potential:
    E = 1.67 V - (0.0592/2) log(10^7)
    E = 1.67 V - (0.0296) log(10^7)
    E = 1.67 V - (0.0296)(7)
    E = 1.67 V - 0.2072
    E = 1.4628 V

    Therefore, the cell potential at 25°C is approximately 1.46 V.

      This problem is based on various properties of iron chlorides. To solve this problem, students must have the knowledge of solubility of iron chloride in aqueous solution, the existence of iron chloride in ether solution, oxidising properties of iron chloride.
      Properties of iron chloride
      (i) FeCl3 (Iron chloride) is back coloured in anhydrous conditions. But its hydrated form is yellowish-brown.
      (ii) FeCl3 sublimes at 300°C3 to give a dimer.
      (iii) FeCl3 is water-soluble as well as ether soluble due to solvation.
      (iv) It is an oxidising agent, during oxidation. The yellow colour of aqueous Fe (III) changes to light green aqueous Fe (II).

      Can you explain the answer of this question below:
      On the basis of aromaticity, there are three types of compounds i.e. aromatic, non-aromatic and antiaromatic.
      The increasing order of stability of these compounds are is under:
      Anti-aromatic compound < non-aromatic compound < aromatic compounds. Compounds to be aromatic
      follow the following conditions (according to valence bond theory)
      (i) The compounds must be be cyclic in structure having (4n + 2)π e, where n = Hückel’s number = 0, 1,
      2, 3 et.c
      (ii) The each atoms of the cyclic structure must have unhybridised p-orbital i.e. the atoms of the
      compounds have unhybridised p-orbital i.e. usually have sp2 hybrid or planar.
      (iii) There must be a ring current of π electrons in the ring or cyclic structure i.e. cyclic structure must
      undergo resonance .
      Compounds to be anti-aromatic, it must have 4nπe where n = 1, 2… and it must be planar and undergo
      resonance. Non-aromatic compounds the name itself spells that compounds must be non-planar
      irrespective of number of π electrons. Either it has 4nπeor (4n + 2) π electrons it does not matter.
      The rate of reaction of any aromatic compounds depends upon the following factors:
      (i) Electron density
      (ii) stability of carbocation produced
      Higher the amount of electron density of the ring, higher will be its rate towards aromatic electrophilic
      substitution and vice-versa. Similarly, higher will be the stability of the produced carbocation after the
      attack of electrophile, higher will be its rate towards aromatic electrophilic substitution. There is a great
      effect of kinetic labelling on the rate of aromatic electrophilic substitution. As we known that higher the
      atomic weight or, molecualr weight, higher will be the van der Waal’s force of attraction or, bond energy.
      Since there will be effect of kienetic labelling if the 2nd step of the reaction will be the slow step, (r.d.s.)
      otherwise there will be no effect of kinetic labelling.
      Q. Which of the following is correct order of the rate of reaction of C6H6, C6D6 and C6T6 towards
      nitrations?

        C6H6 >C6D6 > C6T6
      • B:
        C6H6 = C6D6 = C6T6
      • C:
        C6H6 > C6D6 = C6T6
      • D:
        C6T6 >C6D6 >C6H6
      The answer is b.

      Pranavi Chavan answered
      B
      2nd step is fast step in nitration.

      • d)
        A hyperbola if k2 = −1 and k1, k3 > 0
      Correct answer is option 'A,B,C'. Can you explain this answer?

      Vijay Kumar answered
      (i) then P describes a circle with B as center and radius k3/k2.
      (ii) then P describes a circle with P1P2 as its diameter, P1 and P2 being the points which divide AB internally and externally in the ratio k:1.
      (iii) If k1 = k2 > 0 & k3 > 0, then and P describes an ellipse with A and B as its foci and the length of the major axis as k.
      Note: If k1 = −k2>0 & k3 > 0, then P describes a hyperbola with A and B as foci and length of the transverse axis = k3/k1.

      The minimum value of 3x + 4y, subject to the condition x2y3 = 6 and x > 0, y > 0, is
        Correct answer is '10'. Can you explain this answer?

        Ajay Yadav answered
        Break 3x as 3x/2 and 3x/2 and 4y as 4y/3, 4y/3 and 4y/3.
        Now, we know that AM ≥ GM.
        So, applying on numbers 3x/2, 3x/2 and 4y/3, 4y/3 and 4y/3,
        Putting the value of x2y3 = 6, we get
        3x + 4y ≥ 10
        Minimum value of 3x + 4y = 10

          Vijay Kumar answered
          According to the given figure, A+ is present in the octahedral void of X.
          The limiting radius in octahedral void is related to the radius of sphere as:
          rvoid = 0.414 rsphere
          = 0.414 x 250 pm = 103.5 pm

          • d)
            The foci of ellipse are (±√2, 0)
          Correct answer is option 'A, B'. Can you explain this answer?

          Vijay Kumar answered
          Eccentricity of the hyperbola is 2√2 as it is a rectangular hyperbola so eccentricity ee of the ellipse is 1/√2
          Let the equation of the ellipse be
          So, the equation of the ellipse is
          x2 +2y2 = a2x2 + 2y2 = a2
          Let (x1, y1) be a point of intersection of the ellipse and the hyperbola, then
          Equations of the tangents at (x1, y1) to the two conics are
          Since the two conics intersect orthogonally
          and from (1), we get
          Hence, the equation of the ellipse is x2 + 2y2 = 2 and its focus is

          Valence shell electron-pair repulsion theory predicts the shape of a molecule by considering the most stable configuration of the bond angles in the molecule. The main points of the theory are
          (i) Electron pairs in the valence shell of central atom of a molecule, whether bonding or lone pairs are regarded as occupying localised orbitals. These orbitals arrange themselves so as to minimize the mutual electronic repulsions.
          (ii) The magnitude of the different types of electronic repulsions follow the order given below:
          Lone pair-lone pair> lone pair-bonding pair > bonding pair-bonding pair. These repulsive forces alter the bond angles of the molecule or ion.
          (iii) The electron repulsion between two pairs of electrons will be minimum if they stay as far as possible. On this basis, several studied. have been done
          Which of the following statements is correct ?
          • a)
            The bond angle of NCl3 is greater than NH3 as Pπ − dπ back-bonding is present in NCl3.
          • b)
            BF3 is more acidic than BCl3 due to presence of Pπ − dπ back bonding in BF3
          • c)
            When the bond multiplicity is increased, bond angle is decreased.
          • d)
            The bond angle of SiCl4 is greater than CCl4
          Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

          Anjali Sharma answered
          This problem includes the concept of bond angle the basis of Pπ − dπ back bonding and bond stifness, read all statements carefully and answer according to question using above concept.
          Due to presence of Pπ − dπ back bonding, NCl3 is sp2 hybridised but due to the absence of vacant d orbital in NH3 it can't form Pπ − dπ back bonding. So bond anlge of NCl3 is greater than NH3. Due to Pπ − dπ back bonding (d-orbitals available in Cl). The lone pair on N not available for exerting repulsion and hence bond angle in NCl3 > NH3.
          In BF3 there is Pπ − dπ back bonding from filled orbitals of F creating a partial double bond character making it a poor Lewis acid than BCl3.
          Bond multiplicity leads to more repulsion - double bond - lone pair repulsion is too high and hence bond angle increases.
          SiCl4 and CCl4 bond angles are both tetrahedral (same).

          A point P moves such that the tangents PT1 and PT2 from it to the hyperbola 4x2 − 9y2 = 36 are mutually perpendicular. Then the equation of the locus of P is

            x2 + y2 = 5
          • b)
            x4 − y4 = 4
          • c)
            x5 + y5 = 2
          • d)
            x1 − y1 =4
          Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

          Tanuja Kapoor answered
          4x2 − 9y2 = 36
          The two tangent PT1 and PT2 will be perpendicular if the product of roots is −1.
          (The point of intersection of perpendicular tangents lies on director circle)
          For the hyperbola the equation of the director circle is x2 + y2 = a2 − b2
          ∴ The equation of the locus of P(α,β) is x2 + y2 = 5
          (This is the director circle of the hyperbola).

              2/3
            Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

            Anjali Sharma answered
            We don't know the number of white and black balls in the bag, but we know the number of white balls can't be less than 2.

            Now, there are different cases, which are the number of white balls in the bag. The total cases are : 2c2+3c2+4c2+5c2 =20

            The question is asking to find the probability of the case that there are 5 white balls, which 5c2 = 10 cases

            So, probability =10/20=1/2

            Naina Bansal answered
            The answer is a.
            The voltage across both C1 and C2 will be same as they are parallel to each other.
            For capacitor Q= CV, this means that the capacitor C1 will have greater charge as its capacitance is more.
            But as the voltage is same the ratio of current i1/i2 will remain unchanged.

            For aromatic compounds
            For a compound to be aromatic, it should follow Huckle's (4n + 2)πerule, i.e., 2, 6, 10, 14....πe
            They should show delocalised, conjugate π system with alternate single and double bonds. In addition to this, the compound should be cyclic and planar or almost planar.
            The number of πe is even, but not a multiple of 4.
            For anti-aromatic compounds:
            4nπe, i.e., 4, 8, 12....πe should be delocalized in a cyclic, planar, or almost planar system with alternate single and double bonds.

              Correct answer is '4'. Can you explain this answer?

              Avik Nambiar answered
              To find the range of the function f(x) = sin^{-1}x * 2tan^{-1}x * x^2 * 4x * 1, we need to consider the range of each individual term and then find the combined range.

              1. Range of sin^{-1}x:
              The range of the arcsine function is [-pi/2, pi/2]. This means that the function sin^{-1}x will give values between -pi/2 and pi/2 for all values of x.

              2. Range of 2tan^{-1}x:
              The range of the arctangent function is (-pi/2, pi/2). When multiplied by 2, the range becomes (-pi, pi). This means that the function 2tan^{-1}x will give values between -pi and pi for all values of x.

              3. Range of x^2:
              The range of x^2 is [0, infinity). This means that the function x^2 will give values greater than or equal to 0 for all values of x.

              4. Range of 4x:
              The range of 4x is (-infinity, infinity). This means that the function 4x will give all real values for all values of x.

              5. Range of 1:
              The range of a constant function is the single value that it represents. In this case, the function 1 will always give the value 1.

              Now, to find the combined range, we need to consider the intersection of the ranges of the individual terms.

              - The intersection of the ranges of sin^{-1}x and 2tan^{-1}x is (-pi/2, pi/2).
              - The intersection of this range and the range of x^2 is [0, pi/2].
              - The intersection of this range and the range of 4x is [0, pi/2].
              - The intersection of this range and the range of 1 is [0, pi/2].

              Therefore, the range of the function f(x) is [0, pi/2].

              However, the question asks for the value of a + b. Since the range is [0, pi/2], a = 0 and b = pi/2. Therefore, a + b = 0 + pi/2 = pi/2.

              Hence, the correct answer is 4.

                the faster body slows down and the slower body speeds up
              Correct answer is option 'A,B,C,D'. Can you explain this answer?

              Vijay Kumar answered
              As momentum is conserved,
              and masses are equal.
              as collision is perfectly elastic. Therefore,
              coefficient of restitution, e = 1 ⇒ vapproach = vseparation
              By solving this,
              Hence, the velocities are interchange including their magnitude(means speeds),
              u1 = v2 and v1 = u2.
              Multiply velocities with mass,
              Hence, momentums are also interchanged.
              Since speeds are exchanged. Hence, the faster body slows down and the slower body speeds up.
