When block stops, Fext will try to bring the block back ward while frictional force will oppose its
motion, since block is stationary therefore at this moment, frictional force will be static. Whose
maximum value will be . Since static frictional force is self adjusting therefore it

For upward acceleration apparent weight = m(g + a)

If lift suddenly stops during upward motion then apparent weight = m (g – a) because instead
of acceleration, we will consider retardation.

Ethanol + n-heptane is a non ideal solution with positive deviation from Raoult's law

42)

The rate which is given in negative sign that means, that is the rate of reactant because the
rate of reactant goes on decreasing in chemical reaction as reactant are consumed and
product formation took place. Here D and B are reactant and C and A are products.
Reactant Product

For complex reaction, order is given by the slowest step and molecularity of the slowest step is
same as the order of the overall reaction.

PV = constant for isothermal process

constant for adiabatic process so more is the value of , more is decrease in pressure.

For adiabatic process

PVr = constant

For diatomic gas, γ = 1.4

For mono atomic gas, γ = 1.67
Hence slope of monoatomic gas will be more -ve than diatomic gas
Hence option B is correct

 We first keep the concentration of one of the reactants constant and by changing the
concentration of the other reactant, we see it’s effect on the rate of reaction and establish a
relation.
For example when the concentration of B is kept constant and when the concentration of A is
doubled, the rate becomes 4 times the initial rate. So, the power of A should be two so that
doubling the concentration of A will make the reaction four times faster.

In such case 'a' and 'f(x)' (∀x ∈ R) will be of same sign

⇒ either both are positive or both are negative
⇒ af (1) > 0 ; f(0). f(1) > 0 . af (0) > 0
but f(1) may be negative.

Check optionwise :

(B) log0.9(2.9 – 2.2) = log0.8(0.7)

both 0.9 & 0.7 are lying on same side of unity therefore the value is positive

0.25 & 1.5 are lying on either side of unity so value is negative
(D) log109 is less than one so log10(log109) is negative
