Correct answer is option (1)

2) Explanation: A concave spherical surface with radius R separates a medium with index of
refraction 2 from air. If an object is moved toward the surface from far away along the central
axis, then we have to select the correct statements regarding its image.
Concept: Refraction through curved surface.
Solution:

For refraction at a spherical surface,

R.

Here μ1 = 1 (air), μ2=2, and the surface is concave as seen from air, so R>0. For an object at
infinity, 1/u≈0, giving a positive finite v, hence the image lies inside the denser medium and is
virtual. As the object moves closer, u remains negative and finite, but the right-hand side stays
positive; solving always gives v>0. Thus the image never crosses to the real side and remains
virtual for all object positions.
Final Answer : Remains virtual

3)

As mirror is moving parallel to

x - 2 plane so, in y direction
vi = 2vm - v0 (only for y component)

Explanation: Find the relationship between the boiling point elevation constant (Kb) and the
freezing point depression constant (Kf) for the solvent.

Given Data:

A. Boiling point elevation (ΔTb) for 1 molal glucose solution: 2 K

B. Freezing point depression (ΔTf) for 2 molal glucose solution: 2 K

Concept:

A. Boiling point elevation (ΔTb) is related to molality (m) by: ΔTb = Kb x m

B. Freezing point depression (ΔTf) is related to molality (m) by: ΔTf = Kf x m

Calculate Kb : ΔTb = Kb x m

2 K = Kb x 1 molal

Kb = 2 K/molal

Calculate Kf : ΔTf = Kf x m

2 K = Kf x 2 molal

Kf = 1 K/molal

Relationship between Kb and Kf : Kb = 2 x Kf

Final Answer: Kb = 2 x Kf
Correct option: 2

Question is Asking About :-

To determine π1 of 10% aqueous solution of area and π2 of 10% aqueous solution of

glucose.

Concept :- π1 = i1 C1 R T

– (1)
π2 = i2 C2RT

– (2)
So, π1 > π2

Hence, option (2) is correct.

40) If x gm of water got separated as ice; then molality of solution that freezes at –10°C is :

m=

According to depression in freezing point, depression in freezing point = DTf = iKf.m Kf =

cryoscopic constant or molal depression constant
m = molality of solution;
i = Van't Hoff factor

⇒ ΔTf = 10K =

Question Explanation: Find which of the following will show negative deviation

Concept: This question is based on Non ideal solution

Solution:
Benzene-Chloroform mixture shows negative deviation from Raoult's law.
In this mixture, weak hydrogen bonding (C–H…π interaction) occurs between the acidic
hydrogen of Chloroform and the electron-rich π-cloud of the Benzene ring.
These A–B interactions are stronger than the individual A–A and B–B interactions.
Stronger interactions decrease the escaping tendency of molecules, leading to a lower vapor
pressure than predicted by Raoult's law.

Therefore, it shows negative deviation.

Final answer : Option (3)

44) Theoretical.

46) (i) Incorrect : → Azeotropes are non-ideal solutions so do not obey Rault’s law.
(ii) Incorrect : → for minimum boiling azeotropes ΔHmix > 0.
(iii) Correct : → addition of non-volatile solute decreases vapour pressure However ΔHvap
remains unaffected.
(iv) Correct : → In case of azeotropes, composition of vapours formed is same as solution after
vapourisation.

47) Explain the question: Calculate the total vapor pressure of a solution with equal masses
of A and B.
 Concept: Raoult's Law and Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures.
Solution: From the given pressure-composition graph, the vapor pressure of pure liquid
is 40 torr, and the vapor pressure of pure liquid is 30 torr. Since the solution
contains equal masses (let's say 'w' grams) of A and B, we first calculate their mole fractions.
The moles of A are , and the moles of B are . The mole fraction of A is

. Consequently, the mole fraction of B

is 0.4 . The total pressure X is calculated using Raoult's and Dalton's laws:
. Substituting the values, we get
torr. The question asks for the value of .

60) Explain Question: In this question we have given a AAT = I where I is identity matrix and
C is
skew symmetric matric then ask the value of given expression.
Concept: This question is based on skew symmetric matrix and transpose of matrix

A. (XY)T = YTXT
 B. (Xn)T = (XT)n
C. (XT)T = X
D. CT = – C where C is skew symmetric

Solution: Given: AAT = I and C is skew symmetric matric CT = – C

Now ((ATCA)50)T = ((ATCA)T)50 = (ATCT(AT)T)50
= (AT(–C)A)50 = (–ATCA)50
= (–1)50(ATCA)50 = (ATCA)50
Now (ATCA)50 = (ATCA) (ATCA) (ATCA).........(ATCA) 50 times
= ATC(AAT)C(AAT)C(AAT)........CA
(since AAT = I)
