29) Since, slope of the graph, i.e., q/V = C and the line A has a larger slope than the line B, it
represents the capacitor of larger capacitance. Further, as C ∝ A and the plate area of C2 is
double that of C1, C2 has the larger capacitance. Hence the line A (with larger slope)
represents capacitor C2 and the line B represents the capacitor C1.
30)
Let potential of B and D is zero and common potential on capacitors is V, then at A and C it
will be V.
By charge conservation, 3V + 2V = 40 + 30
5V = 70
V = 14 volt
Charge flow = 40 – 28 = 12 µC
Now final charges on each plate is shown in the figure.

let potential at E is x. Now apply kirchhoff's Ist law at point E. (Total charge of all the plates
connected to 'E' must be same as before i.e. 0)

Problem Statement: The question asks how to decrease the number of moles of ethylene
(Câ‚‚Hâ‚„) at equilibrium in a gas phase reaction where ethylene reacts with hydrogen (Hâ‚‚) to
form ethane (C₂H₆). The reaction is reversible and exothermic with a given enthalpy
change ΔH = -32.7 kcal.
Underlying Concept: The problem revolves around Le Châtelier's principle, which states
that if an external change is applied to a system at equilibrium, the system adjusts to partially
oppose that change. Since the reaction is exothermic (releases heat), changing the
temperature will shift the equilibrium. Also, pressure and concentration changes affect
equilibrium in reactions involving gases.
Tips and Tricks: Remember that exothermic reactions shift right when temperature
decreases and left when temperature increases. Also, equilibrium shifts toward the side with
fewer gas moles if pressure increases.
Why Other Options Are Incorrect?: Increasing temperature adds heat to the system, which
favors the endothermic (reverse) reaction, increasing Câ‚‚Hâ‚„ instead of decreasing it.
Decreasing pressure would shift equilibrium toward the side with more moles of gas, which is
the reactants side (2 moles) versus 1 mole product, increasing Câ‚‚Hâ‚„. Removing Hâ‚‚
reduces one reactant, shifting equilibrium left to produce more Câ‚‚Hâ‚„. Hence, only
decreasing temperature decreases Câ‚‚Hâ‚„.
We need to determine the effect of doubling the quantity of AB(s) on the amounts of A(g) and
B(g).
Given Data:
A. Reaction:
B. Change: Doubling the amount of AB(s)
Concept:
A. Solids do not affect the equilibrium because their concentration remains constant in
equilibrium expressions.
B. Only the partial pressures or concentrations of gases and aqueous species influence
equilibrium.
C. Since AB is a solid, increasing its quantity will not shift the equilibrium position or change the
amount of A(g) or B(g).
Solution/Explanation/Calculation:
The equilibrium constant expression for this reaction is:
Since AB(s) is not included in the equilibrium expression, changing its quantity has no effect on the
equilibrium concentrations of A(g) and B(g).
Final Answer:
Cause no change in the amounts of A and B.
Hence, option (4) is correct.
72) A. Question Explanation:
A. The question asks which conditions will shift the equilibrium of the given reaction (PCIS(g) ⇌

D. Analysis of Options:
1. Introducing inert gas at constant pressure:
A. Adding an inert gas at constant pressure will increase the total volume of the system.
B. This will decrease the partial pressures of all the reactants and products.
C. Since there are more moles of gas on the product side (2 moles) compared to the reactant side
(1 mole), decreasing the pressure will favor the side with more moles of gas to re-establish
equilibrium.
D. Therefore, introducing an inert gas at constant pressure will favor the forward reaction.
A. Adding an inert gas at constant volume will increase the total pressure of the system.
B. However, the partial pressures of the reactants and products will remain unchanged.
C. This is because the inert gas does not participate in the reaction and does not affect the
equilibrium position.
D. Therefore, introducing an inert gas at constant volume will not favor the forward reaction.

Explanation :-
Given Data :-
Concept :-
A. Acetic acid is a weak acid, and its ionization is suppressed by the presence of a strong acid
(HCl) due to the common ion effect (H⁺ ions).
Calculation :-
Ka = [H⁺][CH₃COO⁻] / [CH₃COOH]
A. Due to the common ion effect, the contribution of H⁺ from acetic acid ionization is negligible
compared to that from HCl. Therefore, the total [H⁺] ≈ 0.1 M.
B. Now, we can calculate the concentration of acetate ion [CH₃COO⁻]:
Ka = [H⁺][CH₃COO⁻] / [CH₃COOH]

Question Explanation
The question asks how the equilibrium constant (Kp) and degree of dissociation (α) change for
the reaction when the container volume is halved at a fixed temperature.
Concept
This question is based on Le Chatelier's Principle and Properties of Equilibrium Constant (Kp)
Reasoning
- The equilibrium constant (Kp) for a given reaction depends only on temperature. Since the
temperature is fixed, Kp does not change.
- When the volume is halved, the pressure increases. According to Le Chatelier's Principle, the
equilibrium will shift in the direction that reduces the pressure, which is the direction with
fewer moles of gas.
- The equilibrium will shift to the left (towards N2O4) to decrease the number of gas moles.
- A shift to the left means that less N2O4 dissociates, so the degree of dissociation (α)
decreases.
Final Answer
Kp does not change, but α changes (decreases).
Correct option: 4

86) Explanation:-
Stronger intermolecular forces mean molecules are held together more tightly.
This makes it harder for them to escape into the gas phase (evaporate).
Weaker intermolecular forces mean easier evaporation.
Concept :-
Given A < B < C (intermolecular forces), A has the weakest forces, and C has the strongest.
Therefore, A will evaporate most readily, and C will evaporate least readily.
Answer option 3, (A evaporates more readily than C).

Mole fraction of benzene in the vapor phase is to be found.
Given data:
• Vapor pressure of pure benzene (P°benzene) = 200Torr
• Vapor pressure of pure benzene (P°toluene) = 150Torr
• Moles of benzene = 5
• Moles of toluene = 5
concept
Raoult'sLaw Law: The partial pressure of a component in the vapor phase is directly
proportional to its mole fraction in the solution.
Dalton's Law: The total pressure of a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the partial
pressure of the individual gases.
Calculation
Xbenzene = moles of benzene / (moles of benzene + moles of toluene) = 5/(5+5) = 0.5
Pbenzene =Xbenzene (P°benzene) =0.5 ×200Torr = 100 Torr
Ptoluene = Xtoluene (P°toluene)
Xtoluene = 1 - Xbenzene = 0.5
Ptoluene = 0.5×150 Torr = 75 Torr
Ptotal = Pbenzene + Ptoluene
Ptotal = 100 Torr + 75 Torr = 175 Torr
Mole fraction of benzene in vapor phase (Ybenzene)
Ybenzene = Pbenzene/ Ptotal = 100Torr/ 175 Torr = 0.571
Final answer =The mole fraction of benzene in the vapor phase is approximately 0.57

The correct answer is Option 4: Absence of antibodies, anti-A and anti-B, in plasma.
Here's why:
A. Blood groups are determined by the presence or absence of specific antigens (A and B)
on the surface of red blood cells (RBCs) and corresponding antibodies (anti-A and anti-B)
in the plasma.
B. AB blood group: Individuals with AB blood have both A and B antigens on their RBCs
but no anti-A or anti-B antibodies in their plasma.
C. Universal recipient: Because they lack these antibodies, people with AB blood can
receive blood from any blood group (A, B, AB, or O) without their plasma antibodies
attacking the donor RBCs. This is why they are called universal recipients.

Problem Statement: The question asks between which vertebrae the kidneys are located in
the human body. It wants you to identify the correct upper and lower vertebral levels that
correspond to the position of the kidneys.
Underlying Concept: This problem involves human anatomy, specifically the anatomical
position of the kidneys relative to the vertebral column. The kidneys are retroperitoneal organs
lying on either side of the spine between certain thoracic and lumbar vertebrae.
Tips and Tricks: Remember the kidneys lie typically between the T12 (last thoracic vertebra)
and L3 (third lumbar vertebra). Visualizing the spine and its sections can help.
Common Mistakes: Confusing cervical vertebrae (neck region) or sacral vertebrae (lower
back) with the kidney position; assuming kidneys are lower or higher than actual.
Why Other Options Are Incorrect?: Options involving cervical vertebrae are incorrect
because kidneys are too low to be near the neck region. Choices including sacral vertebrae are
wrong because kidneys lie above the pelvis, which starts at the sacral vertebrae. Therefore,
only the last thoracic to third lumbar vertebrae correctly indicates the kidney position.

Problem Statement: The question asks which structure forms the glomerulus, a network of
tiny blood vessels. It provides multiple options and wants to identify the correct one
responsible for creating the glomerulus.
Underlying Concept: The glomerulus is a part of the nephron in kidneys, responsible for the
filtration of blood. It consists of a network (tuft) of capillaries. These capillaries arise primarily
from the afferent arteriole, which brings blood into the glomerulus, where filtration begins.
Tips and Tricks: Remember, 'aff' in afferent means 'to' as in bringing blood to the
glomerulus, while 'ef' in efferent means 'out of' or carrying blood away.
Common Mistakes: Confusing afferent and efferent arterioles, or thinking Bowman's capsule
or the proximal convoluted tubule (PCT) form the glomerulus instead of blood vessels.
Why Other Options Are Incorrect?: Efferent arteriole carries blood away from the
glomerulus, so it doesn't form the tuft. Bowman's capsule surrounds the glomerulus but is not
part of its capillaries. The PCT is a tubular structure after filtration and does not form
capillaries.

Question Explanation:
To identify the correct statements regarding the vasa recta and other blood vessels associated
with the nephron.
Explanation:
A. (a) is correct: Vasa recta runs parallel to Henle's loop in juxtamedullary nephrons.
B. (b) is correct: Cortical nephrons have either no or reduced vasa recta.
C. (c) is correct: Vasa recta, peritubular capillaries, and glomerulus all have blood vessels.
D. (d) is incorrect: The afferent arteriole leads to the glomerulus, not the efferent arteriole.

Question Explanation:
To identify the correct difference between juxtamedullary and cortical nephrons from the
given table.
Solution/Explanation:
Loop of Henle: Juxtamedullary nephrons have long loops of Henle that extend deep into the
medulla, crucial for concentrating urine. Cortical nephrons have shorter loops of Henle that do
not penetrate as deeply.

Solution : Option (1) is correct since diameter of Affiant arteriole is greater than effect
arteriole.
Solution Explanation:
A: NaCl(Significant reabsorption in the ascending limb and PCT)
B: urea (some reabsorption and secretion throughout, especially in the collecting duct and
PCT)
C: K+ (Secretion in the DCT)
D: Ammonia (secretion in the DCT and PCT)
Answer:
Option (2) is correct : NaCl, urea, K+, HCO3–

176) Renin: The kidneys produce and secrete renin, an enzyme involved in blood pressure
regulation. Erythropoietin: The kidneys are the primary site for the production of
erythropoietin, a hormone that stimulates red blood cell production. Calciferol: The kidneys
play a crucial role in the final activation step of vitamin D into its active form, calcitriol. While
the kidney doesn't produce the precursor to vitamin D, it performs the final conversion to the
active hormone.

Solution/Explanation:
A. Incorrect: The descending limb of the loop of Henle primarily loses water, not NaCl. Also, the
exchange isn't with the descending vasa recta.
B. Correct: The ascending limb of the loop of Henle loses NaCl, which is picked up by the
descending vasa recta. This is a key part of the countercurrent exchange.
C. Correct: As the vasa recta ascends back toward the cortex, it loses water (which went into the
descending limb of the loop of Henle) and returns the NaCl to the interstitium (the space
surrounding the loop of Henle), maintaining the high salt concentration in the medulla.

Question Explanation:
Asks for the normal glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in a healty asult, expressed in milliliters
per munute (ml/min).
Solution Explanation:
The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is the volume of fluid filtered from the renal glomerular
capillaries into Bowman's capsule per unit time. In a healty adult, the GFR is approximately
125 ml/min.
