44) Explain the Question : Find chlorine volume for 2.5 ppm
Concept : This question is based on parts per million (ppm) & density.
Solution : For dilute aqueous solutions like a pool, ppm (parts per million) is defined as
milligrams of solute per litre of solution (mg/L). The concentration is 2.5 ppm (or 2.5 mg/L)
and the pool volume is 30,000 L. First, calculate the required mass of chlorine : Mass (mg) =
Concentration (mg/L) × Volume (L) = 2.5 mg/L × 3000 L = 75,000 mg. Converting this to
grams gives 75 g Since the options are in millilitres (mL), a unit of volume, we must assume
the density of the substance being added is 1g/mL (the density of water), a common
simplification in such problems. Therefore, volume = Mass/Density = 75g/(1g/mL) = 75 mL.
Final Answer : 3

Question Explanation:
Balance the redox reaction and find the sum of coefficients X, Y, Z.

Concept:
Balancing acidic redox reaction

Solution:
Balancing Steps:
1. Balance Cr : There are 2 Cr atoms on the left, so Y = 2.
2. Balance O : There are 7 oxygen atoms on the left in , so we need 7 water molecules
on the right. Z = 7.
3. Balance H: 7 water molecules contain 14 hydrogen atoms. To balance these in an acidic
medium, we add 14 H+ to the left. X = 14.

51) Question Explanation: Finding the maximum value of a quadratic function. Concept:
Maxima and Minima of Quadratic Functions.
Solution: The given function is a quadratic equation Y=6x2−12x+18. The graph of this
function is a parabola. Since the coefficient of the x2 term (a=6) is positive, the parabola opens
upwards. An upward-opening parabola has a minimum value at its vertex but does not have a
maximum value; it extends to infinity.
Final Answer: Not defined
