Question Explanation
Find the first ionization energy ( IE1 ) of the ion M(g)+ .
Concept
Relationship between successive ionization energies and total enthalpy change (ΔH).

Solution

A. Understanding the Steps: Ionization energy is the energy required to remove an electron from
a gaseous atom or ion.
B. Step 1: The first reaction, , represents the first ionization energy ( IE1 ) of the
neutral atom M. From the data, IE1 (M)=100eV.

C. Step 2: The second reaction, , represents the total energy required to remove
two electrons from the neutral atom. This total energy is the sum of the first and second
ionization energies: IE1 + IE2 = 250eV.
D. Step 3: To find the energy required to remove the second electron (which is IE2 for M or the
IE1 for M+), we subtract the first step from the total:

IE1 (M+) = (IE1 + IE2 )-IE1

IE1 (M+ ) = 250eV - 100eV = 150eV

Final Answer
The IE1 of M+(g) is 150 eV .

47) Question Explanation : Identify total amphoteric oxides.

Concept :Nature of oxides across periods.
Solution :
To solve this, we categorize each oxide based on its ability to react with acids and bases.
Amphoteric oxides are those that can react with both.
• Basic Oxides: Na2 and MgO are oxides of highly electropositive metals and react only with
acids.
• Amphoteric Oxides: Al2O3, BeO and ZnO are classic examples that show both acidic and basic
character.
• Example: ZnO + 2HCl → ZnCl2 +H2O (Basic nature)
• Example: ZnO + 2NaOH → H2O → Na2[Zn(OH)4] (Acidic nature)
• Acidic Oxides: SiO2 and CO2 are non-metal oxides that form acids with water.
• Neutral Oxide: CO does not react with either acids or bases at room temperature.
The total number is 3 (Al2O3, BeO and ZnO)
Final Answer : 3

51)

f(x) = a x2 + b x + c (a ≠ 0) when a > 0, b < 0 & c < 0

∴ D = b2 – 4ac > 0 (always).
Hence, there are two real roots.
∴ Graph will be in option (2)

52) Question Explanation: Find the number of common tangents with finite slope to a
parabola and a rectangular hyperbola.

Concept: Common tangents to conics.

Solution:
Equation of tangent to y2 = 4ax is

...(1)

and xy = c2 is

⇒ ...(2)

53)
54) Using the identity : and putting the value
of , we get the value as

55)

The focus of the parabola is (4,0). Focus lies on the director circle of the given circle and
hence the slope of this focal chord must be 1. The length of this focal chord will be
which is 32 units.

56)

2 sin2 x = 5 – 9 sin x
⇒ 2 sin2 x + 9 sin x – 5 = 0
⇒ (2 sin x – 1) (sin x + 5) = 0
⇒ sin x = – 5 Reject

65) Explain: Solving a log equation and counting number of valid solutions.
Concept: This question is based on solving log equation by using basic properties of log.

Solution:
(valid for x > 1)

1 + x + x2 = 3
x2 + x – 2 = 0
(x + 2) (x – 1) = 0
x = 1, –2 both are rejected as x > 1

72) a1, a2, a3, ....... (AP)

a1 + a4 + a7 + a10 + a13 + a16 = 375

= a1 + a2 + ....... + a16
Using property
(a1 + a16 = a4 + a13 = a7 + a10 = ...... )

= a1+a2 + a3 + a4 +....+ a13 + a14 + a15 + a16

= 8(a1 + a16)
a1 + a4 + a7 + a10 + a13 + a16 = 375 = 3(a1 + a16)

= 8(a1 + a16) = 8 × 125 = 1000

value of (p + q) where
Concept: This question is based on pseudo quadratic equation a f'(x)2 + f(x) + C = 0 to solve
