Physics JEE Main 2021 Paper Solutions For Shift 2 Feb 25
∵v1cosα = v2cosβ [electric field inside a parallel plate capacitor is perpendicular to the plates, hence, there will be no change in parallel component of velocity]
v1/v2 = cosβ/cosα
Then the ratio of kinetic energies
k1/k2 = ½ mv12/ ½ mv22 = (v1/v2)2 = (cosβ/cosα)2
k1/k2 = cos2β/cos2α

T  = π √(m/k)

 

Q. 3: The wavelength of the photon emitted by a hydrogen atom when an electron makes a transition from n = 2 to n = 1 state is:

(A) 194.8 nm

(B) 490.7 nm

(C) 913.3 nm

(D) 121.8 nm

Answer: (D)
∆E = 10.2 eV is the energy difference between the state n = 2 & n = 1
∆E = –3.4 – (–13.6) = 10.2 eV
hc/λ = 10.2 ev
λ = hc/(10.2)e (in meters) where ‘e’ = 1.6 × 10–19 J/V
= 12400/10.2 Å (because hc = 12400 eV nm)
= 121.56 nm
≃ 121.8 nm

 

Q. 4: In a ferromagnetic material below the Curie temperature, a domain is defined as:

(A) a macroscopic region with consecutive magnetic dipoles oriented in opposite directions.

(D) 0.49 N

Answer: (C)
Shift 2 Physics JEE Main 2021 Paper With Solutions Feb 25
The point covers 30o in 0.1 sec.
Means
π/6 → 0.1sec.
1 → 0.1/(π/6)
2π = → 0.1×6×2π/π
T = 1.2 sec.
We know that ω = 2π/T
ω = 2π/1.2
Restoring force (F) = mω2A
Then, Restoring force per unit mass (F/m) = ω2A
F/m = (2π/1.2)2×0.36
≃ 9.87 N

Answer: (D)
Shift 2 Physics JEE Main 2021 Paper With Solutions For Feb 25
y = A sin (ωt + ϕ)
t = 0, x = A/2
1/2 = sin ϕ
ϕ = π/6, 5π/6
v = dy/dt = A ωcos(ωt + ϕ)
t = 0, v = A ωcosϕ
ϕ = π/6, for v (positive)
ϕ = 5π/6, for v (negative)
∴ϕ = 5π/6

(A) (⅖) v02/g sin θ

(B) 10v02/7gsin θ

(C) v02/5gsin θ

(D) 7v02/10gsin θ

Answer: (D)
Shift 2 Feb 25 JEE Main 2021 Physics Papers With Solutions
From energy conservation
mgh = ½ mv2 + ½ Iω2
mgh = ½ mv2 + ½×(⅖)ma2× v02/a2
gh = ½ v02+ ⅕ v02
gh = (7/10)v02
h = (7/10)v02/g
From triangle, sinθ = h/l
Then, h = lsinθ
l sinθ = (7/10) (v02/g)
l = (7/10) (v02/g sin θ)

 

Q. 9: Consider the diffraction pattern obtained from the sunlight incident on a pinhole of diameter 0.1 μm. If the diameter of the pinhole is slightly increased, it will affect the diffraction pattern such that:

(A) its size decreases, but intensity increases

(B) its size increases, but intensity decreases

(C) its size increases, and intensity increases

(D) its size decreases, and intensity decreases

Answer: (A)
For diffraction through a single slit, for first minimum.
sin θ = 1.22λ/D
If D is increased, then sinθ will decrease i.e θ will decrease
∴ size of circular fringe will decrease but intensity increases.

 

Q. 10: An electron of mass me and a proton of mass mp = 1836 me are moving with the same speed. The ratio of their de Broglie wavelength λelectronProton will be:

(A) 918

(B) 1836

(C) 1/1836

(D) 1

Answer: (B)
Given mass of electron = me
Mass of proton = mp
∴ given mp = 1836 me
From de-Broglie wavelength
λ = h/p = h/mv
λep = mp/me [v is same]
= 1836me/me
λep= 1836

 

Q. 11: The stopping potential for electrons emitted from a photosensitive surface illuminated by light of wavelength 491 nm is 0.710 V. When the incident wavelength is changed to a new value, the stopping potential is 1.43 V. The new wavelength is:

(A) 400 nm

(B) 382 nm

(C) 309 nm

(D) 329 nm

Answer: (B)
From the photoelectric effect equation
hc/λ = ϕ + evs
where Vs is the stopping potential and ϕ is work function of the metal.
So, evs1 = hc/λ1 – ϕ ……(i)
evs2 = hc/λ2 – ϕ …..(ii)
Subtract equation (i) from equation (ii)
evs1 – evs2 = hc/λ1– hc/λ2
vs1 – vs2 = (hc/e) (1/λ1 – 1/λ2)
(0.710 – 1.43) = 1240 (1/491 – 1/λ2)
(because hc = 1240 eV nm)
-0.72/1240 = 1/491 – 1/λ2
1/λ2 = 1/491 + 0.72/1240
1/λ2 = 0.00203 + 0.00058
1/λ2 = 0.00261
λ2 = 383.14
λ2 ≃ 382 nm

Given
e = electronic charge
c = speed of light in free space
h = planck’s constant
(1/4πε0) e2/hc = (ke2/hc)× λ22 [multiply and divide by lambda = wavelength]
= F×λ/E [ke22 has dimensions of force and hc/λ = E]
= E/E [F× λ has dimension of E]

= [ M0 L0 T0]

 

Q. 14: A charge ‘q’ is placed at one corner of a cube as shown in figure. The flux of electrostatic field E through the shaded area is:

Feb 25 Shift 2 JEE Main 2021 Physics Paper With Solutions

(A) q/48ε0

(B) q/8ε0

(C) q/24ε0

(D) q/4ε0

Answer: (C)
Total flux through the cube = (q/ε0)× ⅛ = q/8ε0
Total flux through one “outer” face of the cube = (q/8ε0)×1/3 = q/24ε0
[Because there is flux only through 3 faces]
Hence, total flux through shaded area
ϕT = (q/24ε0 + q/24ε0)×1/2 [half of each face is shaded]
ϕT = q/24ε0

 

Q. 15: Thermodynamic process is shown below on a P-V diagram for one mole of an ideal gas. If V2 = 2V1 then the ratio of temperature T2/T1 is:

Answer: (D)
Shift 2 JEE Main 2021 Solved Paper Physics Feb 25
From P-V diagram,
Given PV1/2 = constant …..(i)
We know that
PV = nRT
P ∝ (T/V) [for 1 mole]
Put in equation (i)
(T/V) (V)1/2 = constant
T ∝V1/2
T2/T1 = √(V2/V1)
T2/T1 = √(2V1/V1)
T2/T1 = √2

 

Q. 16: Given below are two statements:

Statement I: In a diatomic molecule, the rotational energy at a given temperature obeys Maxwell’s distribution.

Statement II: In a diatomic molecule, the rotational energy at a given temperature equals the transnational kinetic energy for each molecule.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

(A) Both statement I and statement II are false.

(B) Both statement I and statement II are true.

(C) Statement I is false but statement II is true.

(D) Statement I is true but statement II is false.

Answer: (D)
The translational kinetic energy & rotational kinetic energy both obey Maxwell’s distribution independent of each other.
T.K.E. of diatomic molecules = (3/2) kT [3 translational D.O.F.]
R.K.E. of diatomic molecules = (2/2) kT = [2 rotational D.O.F.]
So statement I is true but statement II is false.

Q. 18: For extrinsic semiconductors: when doping level is increased;

(A) Fermi–level of p and n-type semiconductors will not be affected.

(B) Fermi–level of p-type semiconductors will go downward and Fermi–level of n-type semiconductor will go upward.

(C) Fermi–level of both p–type and n–type semiconductors will go upward for T >TFK and downward for T<TFK, where TF is Fermi temperature.

(D) Fermi–level of p-type semiconductor will go upward and Fermi–level of n–type semiconductors will go downward.

Answer: (B)
In n-type semiconductor, pentavalent impurity is added Each pentavalent impurity donates a free electron. So the Fermi-level of n-type semiconductor will go upward and in p-type semiconductor, trivalent impurity is added. Each trivalent impurity creates a hole in the valence band So the Fermi-level of p-type semiconductor will go downward.

Let common tangent equation be y = mx + a/m
⇒y = mx + 1/m
⇒m2x – my + 1 = 0
The above line is also tangent to circle
(x – 3)2 + y2= 9
Therefore, the perpendicular from (3, 0) to line = 3
⇒|(3m2 – 0 + 1)/√(m2+m4 )| = 3
⇒(3m2 + 1)2 = 9(m2 + m4)
⇒m = ±1/√3
Tangent is
y = 1/√3x + √3 (it will be used)
=> m = 1/√3
or y = –1/√3x – √3 (rejected)
JEE Main Feb 2021 Maths Solved Question Problems
For Parabola, point of contact is (a/m2 , 2a/m)= (3, 2√3) = (c, d)
Solving Circle (x – 3)2 + y2 = 9 & line equation y = (1/√3) x + √3
(x – 3)2 + ((1/√3) x + √3)2 = 9
⇒x2 + 9 – 6x + (1/3)x2 + 3 + 2x = 9
⇒(4/3)x2 – 4x + 3 = 0
⇒x = 3/2=a
∴ 2(a + c) = 2(3/2+3)= 9

Equation of tangent : y = mx + 3/(2m)
mT = (1/2) (Because perpendicular to line 2x + y = 1)
Therefore, tangent is: y = x/2 + 3 ⇒ x – 2y + 6 = 0

 

Q. 17: Let f, g: N→N such that f(n + 1)= f(n)+ f(1) for all n ∈ N and g be any arbitrary function. Which of the following statements is NOT true ?

(A) f is one-one

(B) If fog is one-one, then g is one-one

(C) If g is onto, then fog is one-one

(D) If f is onto, then f(n) = n for all n ∈ N

Answer: (C)
f(n + 1) = f(n) +f(1)
⇒ f(n + 1)- f(n)= f(1) → A.P. with common difference = f(1)
General term = Tn = f(1) + (n-1)f(1) = nf(1)
⇒f(n) = nf(1)
Clearly f(n) is one-one.
For fog to be one-one, g must be one-one.
For f to be onto, f(n) should take all the values of natural numbers.
As f(x) is increasing, f(1)=1
⇒f(n)=n
If g is many one, then fog is many one. So “if g is onto, then fog is one-one” is incorrect.

 

Q. 18: Let the lines (2 – i)z = (2 + i)zˉ and (2 + i)z + (i – 2)zˉ– 4i = 0, (here i2 = –1) be normal to a circle C. If the line iz + zˉ+ 1 + i = 0 is tangent to this circle C, then its radius is :

(A) 3/√2

(B) 3√2

(C) 3/(2√2)

(D) 1/(2√2)

Answer: (C)
(2–i)z = (2+i)zˉ

⇒(2–i)(x+ iy)=(2+i)(x–iy)
⇒2x–ix + 2iy + y=2x+ ix–2iy+y
⇒2ix –4iy=0
L1 ∶ x–2y=0
⇒(2+i)z+(i –2)zˉ–4i=0.
⇒(2+i) (x + iy)+(i –2)(x–iy)– 4i = 0.
⇒2x +ix + 2iy – y + ix – 2x + y +2iy – 4i =0
⇒2ix + 4iy – 4i =0
L2 ∶ x+2y–2 = 0
Solve L1 and L2
4y=2 or y=1/2
∴ x = 1
Centre(1, 1/2)
L3∶ iz + zˉ+ 1 + i = 0
⇒i(x+iy)+x–iy+1+i=0
⇒ix–y+x–iy+1+i=0
⇒(x–y+1)+i(x–y+1)=0
Radius = distance from (1, 1/2) to x – y + 1 = 0
r = (1-1/2+1)/ √2
r = 3/2√2

SECTION A

Q 1: A body weighs 49 N on a spring balance at the north pole. What will be its weight recorded on the same weighing machine, if it is shifted to the equator?

[Use g = GM/R2 = 9.8 ms-2 and radius of earth, R = 6400 km.]

(A) 49 N

(B) 49.83 N

(C) 49.17 N

(D) 48.83 N

Answer: (D)
At North Pole, weight
Mg = 49
Now, at equator
g’ = g – ω2R
⇒ Mg’ = M(g – ω2R)
⇒ weight will be less than Mg at equator.
Alter:
g is maximum at the poles.
Hence from options only (D) has lesser value than 49N.

[Gain in dB = 10 log10(P0/Pi)]

Answer: 8
Power of signal transmitted: Pi = 0.1 Kw = 100w
Rate of attenuation = -5 dB/Km
Total length of path = 20 km
Total loss suffered = -5×20 = -100dB
Gain in dB = 10 log10(P0/Pi)
-100 = 10log10(P0/Pi)
log10(Pi/P0) = 10
log10(Pi/P0) = log101010
100/P0 = 1010

(B) 2x2 – 18y2 = 9

(C) y2 = x/(6√3)

(D) x2 + y2 = 7

Answer: (A)
Tangent to x2 + 9y2 = 9 at point (3√3/2, 1/2) is x(3√3)/2 + 9y(1/2) = 9
⇒3√3 x + 9y = 18
⇒x +√3 y = 2√3
⇒ Option (A) is true.

Q 16: The angle of elevation of a jet plane from a point A on the ground is 600. After a flight of 20 seconds at the speed of 432 km/hour, the angle of elevation changes to 300. If the jet plane is flying at a constant height, then its height is:

(A) 1200√3 m

(B) 1800√3 m

(C) 3600√3 m

(D) 2400√3 m

Answer: (A)
Shift 2 Maths JEE Main 2021 Solution Feb 24
v = 432 × 1000/(60×60) m/sec
= 120 m/sec
Distance PQ = v × 20 = 2400 m
In ΔPAC
tan 600 = h/AC
⇒ AC = h/(√3)
In ΔAQD
tan 300 = h/AD
⇒AD = √3h
AD = AC + CD
⇒√3 h = h/√3 + 2400
⇒2h/√3 = 2400
⇒ h = 1200√3 m

Q 18: Let a, b∈R. If the mirror image of the point P(a, 6, 9) with respect to the line (x – 3)/7 = (y – 2)/5 = (z – 1)/(-9) is (20, b, -a, -9), then |a + b| is equal to:

(A) 86

(B) 88

(C) 84

(D) 90

Answer: (B)
P(a, 6, 9), Q (20, b, -a-9)
Midpoint of PQ=((a+20)/2, (b+6)/2, -a/2) lie on the line.

=> (a + 20 – 6)/14 = (b + 6 – 4)/10 = (-a – 2)/(-18)
=> (a + 14)/14 = (a + 2)/18
=> 18a + 252 = 14a + 28
=> 4a = -224
a = -56
(b + 2)/10 = (a + 2)/18
=> (b + 2)/10 = (-54)/18
=>(b + 2)/10 = -3
=> b = -32
|a + b| = |-56 – 32|
= 88

Q 19: Let f be a twice differentiable function defined on R such that f(0) = 1, f'(0) = 2 and f'(x) ≠ 0 for all x∈R. If |f(x) f'(x) f'(x) f”(x)| = 0, for all x∈R, then the value of f(1) lies in the interval:

(A) (9, 12)

(B) (6, 9)

(C) (3, 6)

(D) (0, 3)

Answer: (B)
Given f(x) f”(x) – f'(x)2 =0
Let h(x) = f(x)/f'(x)
Then h'(x) = 0
⇒ h(x) = k
⇒ f(x)/f'(x) = k
⇒ f(x) = k f’(x)
⇒ f(0) = k f'(0)
⇒ k = 1/2
Now, f(x) = ½ f'(x)
⇒∫ 2dx = ∫ f'(x)/f(x) dx
⇒ 2x = ln |f(x)| + C
As f(0) = 1 ⇒ C = 0
⇒ 2x = ln |f(x)|
⇒ f(x) = ±e2x
As f(0) = 1 ⇒ f(x) = e2x
∴ f(1) = e2 ≈ 7.38

Q 20: A possible value of tan (¼ sin-1 √63/8) is:

(A) 1/(2√2)

(B) 1/√7

(C) √7 – 1

(D) 2√2 – 1

Answer: (B)
tan (¼ sin-1 √63/8)
Let sin-1(√63/8) = θ
sin θ = √63/8
JEE 2021 Maths Solutions Paper February 24 Shift 2
cos θ = 1/8
2 cos2(θ/2) – 1 = 1/8
⇒ cos2 θ/2 = 9/16
cos θ/2 = 3/4
⇒(1- tan2 θ/4 )/(1 + tan2 θ/4) = 3/4
tan θ/4 = 1/√7

Q 1: If the area of the triangle formed by the positive x-axis, the normal and the tangent to the circle (x – 2)2+ (y – 3)2 = 25 at the point (5, 7) is A, then 24A is equal to ___.

Answer: Q is wrong
Solved Paper Shift 2 JEE 2021 Main Feb 24
Equation of normal at P is
(y – 7) = ((7 – 3)/(5 – 2))(x – 5)
⇒ 3y – 21 = 4x – 20
⇒ 4x – 3y + 1 = 0
⇒ M is (-1/4, 0)
Equation of tangent at P is
(y – 7) = (-¾) (x – 5)
⇒ 4y – 28 = -3x + 15
⇒ 3x + 4y = 43
⇒ N is (43/3, 0)
The question is wrong. The normal cuts at a point on the negative axis.

Q 2: If a + α = 1, b + β = 2 and af(x) + αf(1/x) = bx + β/2, x ≠ 0 then the value of the expression [f(x) + f(1/x) ]/(x + 1/x)

Answer: 2
af(x) + αf(1/x) = bx + β/x …(i)
Replace x by 1/x
af(1/x) + αf(x) = b/x + βx …(ii)
(i) + (ii)
(a + α)[f(x) + f(1/x) ]
= (x + 1/x)(b + β)
⇒ ( f(x) + f(1/x))/(x + 1/x)
= 2/1
= 2

Q 3: If the variance of 10 natural numbers 1,1,1,…,1,k is less than 10, then the maximum possible value of k is ________.

Answer: 11


⇒ 10(9 + k2) – (81 + k2 + 18k) < 1000
⇒ 90 + 10k2 – k2 – 18k – 81 < 1000
⇒ 9k2– 18k + 9 < 1000
⇒ (k – 1)2 < 1000/9
⇒ k – 1< (10√10)/3
⇒ k < (10√10)/3 + 1
Maximum possible integral value of k is 11.

Q 4: Let a point P be such that its distance from the point (5, 0) is thrice the distance of P from the point (-5, 0). If the locus of the point P is a circle of radius r, then 4r2 is equal to ___.

Answer: 56.25
Let P be (h, k), A(5, 0) and B(-5, 0)
Given PA = 3PB
⇒ PA2 = 9PB2
⇒ (h-5)2 + k2 = 9[(h + 5)2 + k2]
⇒ 8h2 + 8k2 + 100h + 200 = 0
∴ Locus of P is x2 + y2 + (25/2)x + 25 = 0
Centre = (-25/4, 0)
∴ r2 = (-25/4)2 – 25
= 625/16 – 25
= 225/16
∴4r2 = 4×225/16
= 225/4
= 56.25

Q 5: The number of the real roots of the equation (x + 1)2 + |x – 5| = 27/4 is ___.

Answer: 2
For x ≥ 5,
(x + 1)2+ (x – 5) = 27/4
⇒ x2 + 3x – 4 = 27/4
⇒ x2 + 3x – 43/4 = 0
⇒ 4x2 + 12x – 43 = 0
x = (-12 ± √(144 + 688))/8
x = (-12 ± √832)/8
= (-12 ± 28.8)/8
= (-3 ± 7.2)/2
= (-3 + 7.2)/2, (-3 – 7.2)/2 (therefore, no solution)
For x < 5,
(x + 1)2– (x – 5) = 27/4
⇒ x2 + x + 6 – 27/4=0
⇒ 4x2 + 4x – 3=0
x = (-4 ± √(16 + 48))/8
x = (-4 ± 8)/8
⇒ x = -12/8, 4/8
∴ 2 real roots.

Answer: 3
Let terms of GP are a, ar, ar2, ar3
a + ar + ar2 + ar3 = 65/12 …….(1)
1/a + 1/ar + 1/(ar2) + 1/ar3) = 65/18
⇒1/a (r3 + r2 + r + 1)/r3) = 65/18 …….(2)
(1)/(2), we get
a2r3 = 18/12
= 3/2
Also, a3 r3 = 1
⇒ a(3/2) = 1
⇒a = 2/3
(4/9) r3 = 3/2
⇒ r3 = 33/23
⇒ r = 3/2
α = ar2

m = 0.5 kg
g = 10 m/s2
We know that
fs = μsN and …. (1)
To keep the block adhere to the wall
Here, N = F … (2)
fs = mg …. (3)
From equation (1), (2), and (3), we get

F = 25 N (for all values of F greater than or equal to 25 N this case is possible)

 

Q 5. A hydraulic press can lift 100 kg when a mass ‘m’ is placed on the smaller piston. It can lift _______ kg when the diameter of the larger piston is increased by 4 times and that of the smaller piston is decreased by 4 times keeping the same mass ‘m’ on the smaller piston.

Answer: 25600
JEE Main 2021 24 Feb Physics Shift 1 Question 7 solution
Atmospheric pressure P0 will be acting on both the limbs of the hydraulic lift.
Applying pascal’s law for the same liquid level
⇒ P0 + mg / A1 = Po + (100)g / A2
⇒ mg / A1 = (100)g / A2 ⇒ m / 100 = A1/ A2 …(1)
Diameter of piston on side of 100 kg is increased by 4 times so new area = 16A2
Diameter of piston on side of (m) kg is decreasing
A1 = A1 / 16
(In order to increasing weight lifting capacity, diameter of smaller piston must be reduced)
Again, mg / (A1/16) = M’g / 16A2 ⇒ 256m / M’ = A1/ A2
From equation (1) = 256m / M’ = m / 100 ⇒ M’ = 25600 kg

Q 8. A ball with a speed of 9 m/s collides with another identical ball at rest. After the collision, the direction of each ball makes an angle of 30° with the original direction. The ratio of velocities of the balls after collision is x : y, where x is _________.

Answer: 1
JEE Main 2021 24 Feb Physics Shift 1 Question 2
Momentum is conserved just before and just after the collision in both x-y direction.
In y-direction,
pi = 0
pf = mv1 sin30o – mv2 sin30o
Pf = m × ½ v1 – m × ½ v2
pi = pf, so
= mv1 / 2 – mv2 / 2 = 0
⇒ mv1 / 2 = mv2 / 2 ⇒ v1 = v2
v1 / v2 = 1

 

Q 9. An electromagnetic wave of frequency 5 GHz, is travelling in a medium whose relative electric permittivity and relative magnetic permeability both are 2. Its velocity in this medium is _______ × 107 m/s.

Answer: 15
Given: f = 5 GHz
εr =2
μr = 2
Velocity of wave ⇒ v = c / n ….(1)
Where, n = √μrεr and c = speed of light = 3 × 108 m/s
n = √2 × 2 = 2
put the value of n in we get
⇒ v = 3 × 108 / 2 = 15 × 107 m/s
⇒ X × 107 = 15 × 107
X = 15

 

Q 10. A resonance circuit having inductance and resistance 2 × 10–4 H and 6.28 Ω respectively oscillates at 10 MHz frequency. The value of the quality factor of this resonator is________. [π = 3.14]

Answer: 2000
Given: R = 6.28 Ω
f = 10 MHz
L = 2 × 10-4 Henry
We know that quality factor Q is given by
⇒ Q = XL / R = ωL / R
also, ω = 2πf, so
⇒ Q = 2πfL / R
⇒ Q = 2π × 10 × 106 × 2 × 10-4 / 6.28 = 2000
Q = 2000

Answer: (A) JEE Main 24th Feb Shift 1 Chemistry Paper Question 9 solution

Section B

Q 1. Cu2+ + NH3 ⇌ [Cu(NH3)]2+ K1 = 104

[Cu(NH3)]2+ + NH3 ⇌ [Cu(NH3)]2+ K2 = 1.58 × 103
[Cu(NH3)2]2+ + NH3 ⇌ [Cu(NH3)3]2+ K3 = 5 × 102
[Cu(NH3)3]2+ + NH3 ⇌ [Cu(NH3)4]2+ K4 = 102
If the dissociation constant of [Cu(NH3)4]2+ is X × 1012

 

Determine X.
Answer: 1.26
Overall reaction constant (β):
β = K1× K2 × K3 × K4
= 104 (1.58 ×103) × 5 × 102 × 102 = 7.9 × 1011
Cu2+ + 4NH3 ⇌ [Cu(NH3)4]2+ ; β = 7.9 × 1011
So, the dissociation constant (KDisso.) will be:

1/β = 1/ 7.9 × 1011

​KDisso = 1 / β = 1.26 × 10-12
Hence, the value of X = 1.26

 

Q 2. What is the coordination number in Body Centered Cubic (BCC) arrangement of identical particles?

Answer: 8
The easiest way is to look at the atom at the body center. It lies at the center of the body diagonal and touches the eight corner atoms. So, coordination number = 8.

 

Q 3. Cl2(g)⇌ 2Cl(g)

For the given reaction at equilibrium, moles of Cl2(g) is equal to the moles of Cl(g) and the equilibrium pressure is 1atm. If Kp of this reaction is x ×10–1, find x.

Answer: 5
According to the question: Cl2 ⇌ 2Cl [Ptotal = 1 atm].
Moles of Cl2 = Moles of Cl (at equilibrium).
Given: Kp = x ×10-1
nCl2 = nCl.
Therefore, P Cl2 = P Cl
Hence, P Cl2 = P Cl = 0.5 atm
kp= (P Cl)2/ P Cl2 = 0.5 = 5 x 10-1
So, x = 5

 

Q 4. Among the following compounds, how many are amphoteric in nature?

Q 5. S8 + bOH → cS2- + sS2O2-3 + H2O. Find the value of c.

Answer: 4
Let us look at the half reactions i.e. oxidation and reduction separately.
Oxidation:
S8 → S2O2-3
S8 + 24OH → 4S2O2-3 + 12H2O +16e- ….(1)
Reduction:
S8 → S2-
S8 + 16e- → 8S2- ….(2)
Adding both the reactions (1) and (2),
2S8 + 24OH → 4S2O2-3 + 8S2- + 12H2O
Dividing the whole equation by 2,
S8 + 12OH → 2S2O2-3 + 4S2- + 6H2O
So, c = 4

 

Q 6. 4.5 g of a solute having molar mass of 90 g/mol is dissolved in water to make a 250 mL solution. Calculate the molarity of the solution.

Q 8. 9.45g of CH2ClCOOH is dissolved in 500 mL of H2O solution and the depression in freezing point of the solution is 0.5°C. Find the percentage dissociation.

(Kf)H2O = 1.86K kg mole-1.

Answer: 34.4%
CH2Cl COOH CH2ClCOO + H+
Initial 100
Dissociated α α α
Left (1-α) α α
i = final moles / initial moles = 1 – α + α + α / 1 = 1 + α
ΔTf = i × Kf × m
0.5 = (1 + α) × 1.86 × m
Molality (m) = nB / WA (kg) = WBMB x WA (kg) = 9.45 × 1000 / 94.5 × 500 = 0.2
Here, A is for solute and B is for solvent
WA=WH2O = 500g (Density of H2O = 1g/mL)
0.5 = (1+ α) ×1.86 × 0.2
α = 0.344
Percentage of dissociation = 34.4%

 

Q 9. For a chemical reaction, Keq is 100 at 300K, the value of ΔGo is –xR Joule at 1 atm pressure. Find the value of x. (Use ln 10 = 2.3)

Answer: 1382
Given: Keq= 100 at 300K and ΔGo = –xR Joule
ΔGo = -RTln(Keq) = -2.303RTlog(Keq) = -1381.8R
Therefore, x = 1381.8 or 1382

Answer: 2

m (Li3+) = 8.33 × mp+ (given)
Debroglie’s wavelength (λ) = h / p
KE = ½ mv2
Multiplying by m on both sides
m. KE = ½ mv2

Q 5: The minimum value of α for which the equation 4/sin⁡x +1/(1-sin⁡x )=α has at least one solution in (0,π/2) is _______

Solution:

Answer: 9
f(x⁡) = 4/sin⁡x + 1/(1 – sin⁡x )
Let sin⁡x = t ∵x∈(0, π/2) ⇒ 0 < t < 1
f(t⁡)= 4/t + 1/(1-t)
f'(t⁡) = (-4)/t2 + 1/(1 – t⁡)2 = 0
⇒(t2-4(1-t⁡)2/t2(1-t⁡)2 = 0
⇒t = 2/3
fmin at t = 2/3
αmin = f(2/3) =4/(2/3) + 1/(1 – 2/3)
= 6 + 3
= 9

 

Q 6: Let A = {n∈N∶ n is a 3-digit number}, B = {9k + 2∶ k∈N} and C = {9k + l∶ k∈N} for some l(0 < l < 9). If the sum of all the elements of the set A∩(B∪C) is 274×400, then l is equal to ___________

Answer: 5
3 digit number of the form 9K+2 are {101,109,⋯,992}
⇒ Sum equal to (100/2)(1093) = S1= 54650
Now 274 × 400 =S1+S2
⇒274 × 400 = (100/2) [101 + 992] + S2
⇒274 × 400 = 50 × 1093 + S2
⇒S2 = 109600 – 54650
∴S2 = 54950
S2 = 54950 = (100/2) [(99+l) + (990+l)]
⇒ 2l + 1089 = 1099
⇒ l = 5

⇒ a2 + b2 + c2 + d2 + e2 + f2 + g2 + h2 + i2 = 7
Case I∶ Seven (1’s) and two (0’s)
9C2 = 36

Q 9: If the least and the largest real values of α, for which the equation z + α|z⁡-1| + 2 i⁡ = 0 (z∈C and i =√(-1)) has a solution, are p and q respectively; then 4(p2 + q2) is equal to _________

 

Answer: 10
x + iy + α√((x–1)2 +y2) + 2i=0
⇒y + 2 = 0 and x + α√((x-1)2+y2)=0
y = –2 & x2 = α2(x2 – 2x + 1 + 4)
α2 = x2/(x2– 2x + 5)
⇒ x22 – 1) – 2xα2 + 5α2 = 0
∵x∈R ⇒ D≥0
⇒ 4α4 – 4(α2 – 1)5α2 ≥ 0
⇒ α2 [4α2 – 20α2 + 20] ≥ 0
⇒ α2 [-16α2 + 20] ≥ 0
⇒ α22 – 5/4] ≤ 0
⇒ α2 ∈ [0, 5/4]
⇒ α ∈ [-√5/2, √5/2]
then 4[p2 + q2] = 4[5/4 + 5/4]
= 10

 

Q 10: Let Bi (i = 1,2,3) be three independent events in a sample space. The probability that only B1 occur is α, only B2 occurs is β and only B3 occurs is γ. Let p be the probability that none of the events Bi occurs and these 4 probabilities satisfy the equations (α – 2β)p ⁡= αβ and (β – 3γ)p⁡= 2βγ (All the probabilities are assumed to lie in the interval (0, 1)). Then (P(B1⁡))/(P(B3⁡) )is equal to _____

 

Answer: 6
Let x,y,z be probability of B1, B2, B3 respectively.
⇒ x(1 – y) (1 – z) = α
⇒ y(1 – x)(1 – z) = β
⇒ z(1 – x)(1 – y ) = γ
⇒ (1 – x)(1 – y)(1 – z) = p
Now (α – 2β)p = αβ
⇒ (x(1–y)(1–z)-2y(1-x)(1–z)) (1–x)(1–y)(1–z) = xy(1–x)(1–y) (1–z)2
⇒ x+ xy – 2y = xy
∴x = 2y⋯(1)
Similarly, (β–3γ) p = 2βγ
⇒ y = 3z ⋯(2)
From (1) & (2)
⇒x = 6z
Hence x/z = P(B1)/P(B3) = 6
