Ques: Phosphorus and chlorine form two compounds The first compound contains 22.54% by mass of phosphorus and 77.46% by mass of chlorine. In the second compound the percentages are 14.88 for phosphorus and 85.12 for chlorine. Show that these data are consistent with the law of multiple proportions.

Ans: In the first compound,

       Percentage of phosphorus = 22.54 

       Percentage of chlorine = 77.46

Thus, 22.54 g of phosphorus combines with 77.46 g chlorine.

In the second compound,

       Percentage of phosphorus = 14.88

       Percentage of chlorine = 85.12

Thus, 14.88 g of phosphorus combine with 85.12 g of chlorine.

Let us fix the mass of phosphorus as 1 g and find the different masses of chlorine which combine with 1 g of phosphorus in two compounds.

In the first compound,

     Mass of chlorine which combines with 22.54 g of phosphorus = 77.46 g

    The mass of chlorine which combines with 1 g of phosphorus = 77.46 / 22.54 = 3.44 g

In the second compound,

     Mass of chlorine which combines with 14.88 g of phosphorus = 85.12 g

    Mass of chlorine which combines with 1 g of phosphorus = 85.12 / 14.88 = 5.72

The ratio of the masses of chlorine which combines with the fixed mass of phosphorus (1 g) in the two compounds is 

3.44 : 5.72

1: 1.66 or 3:5 (approximately)

This is a simple whole number ratio. Therefore, the data is in agreement with the law of multiple proportions.

Ques 9: What does one mean by exothermic and endothermic reactions? Give examples.   Ans 9: Chemical reactions that release energy in the form of heat, light, or sound are called  exothermic reactions. Example: Mixture of sodium and chlorine to yield table salt.                2 Na + Cl 2  →2 Na Cl In other words, combination reactions are exothermic.  Reactions that require energy or absorb   energy in order to proceed are called endothermic reactions.  For example: In the process of photosynthesis, plants use the energy from the sun to convert carbon dioxide and water to glucose and oxygen .       6  CO 2  + 6  H 2 O  →  C 6 H 12 O 6  + 6  O 2 «« Previous question              Next question »»

                          Data Mining Need for Data Mining Data mining is the process of extracting meaningful patterns, trends, and knowledge from large datasets. Its need arises from: Data Explosion : Organizations generate massive amounts of data that need to be analyzed effectively. Decision-Making : It supports informed decision-making by identifying hidden patterns and correlations. Competitive Advantage : Helps businesses optimize processes, enhance customer relationships, and forecast trends. Automation : Reduces manual data analysis efforts and increases efficiency. Problem-Solving : Detects anomalies, predicts outcomes, and aids in problem-solving across domains. Data Mining Tasks Classification : Assigning items to predefined categories (e.g., spam email detection). Clustering : Grouping similar data points together without predefined labels (e.g., customer segmentation). Regression : Predicting ...

Ques 1: A Mendelian experiment consisted of breeding tall pea(matar) plants bearing violet flowers with short pea plants bearing white flowers. The progeny of all bore violet flowers, but almost half  of them were short. This suggests that the genetic make-up of the tall parent can be depicted as   (a) TTWW (b) TTww (c) TtWW (d) TtWw Ans 1: (c) The genetical make-up of the tall parent can be depicted as TtWW .  Since all the progeny of pea plant bore violet flowers, it means that all the tall plants are having violet flowers has W W genotype for violet flower colour.   Since the progeny is both tall tall and short, the parent plant was not a pure tall plant. Its genotype must be T t.   Therefore, the cross involved in the given in the question is                        TtWw × ttww                            ...

Ques : 2.0 gram of a metal burst in oxygen give 3.2 gram of its oxide. 1.42 gram of the same metal heat in steam give 2.27 gram of its oxide which toys shown by this data?  Ans : In the first compound, 3.2 gram of metal oxide contained 2.0 gram of metal 100 gram of metal oxide contained metal =2.0/3.2 × 100= 62.5 g :· % metal in first compound= 62.5% In the second compound, 2.27 gram of metal oxide contains metal = 1.42 gram 100 gram of metal oxide contains the metal= 1.42/2.27×100=62.55 gram :· % metal in first compound= 62.55% Thus, the percentage of metal in metal oxide obtained from to experiment is nearly same. Hence, the above data illustrate the law of constant composition.  <<   Previous                                                       Next   >>

Ques 1 : A vector “A” makes an angle of 20° and vector B makes an angle of 110°  with the x-axis. The magnitudes of these two vectors are 3m and 4m respectively. Find the resultant.  Ans : The angle between two vectors,  A vector and  B vector is 90°. Magnitude of | A| and | A |, |A|= 3 and |B|=4 The resultant vector, say R= √(A² + B² + 2𝐴𝐵𝐶𝑜𝑠𝜃) = 5 m  Let angle β be the angle between A and B then,  β= tan^ -1(4 sin 90° /3+4 cos 90°)= tan^-1(4/3) =53° The angle between resultant vector and x axis = 53°+ 20° = 73°. Ques 2 : Add vectors A, B and C each having magnitude of 100 unit and inclined to the x-axis at angles 45°, 135° and 315° respectively.  Ans: Let A , B and C are three vectors of magnitude 100 unit each.  |A|=|B|=|C|= 100 unit  x-components of vector A = 100 cos 45° = 100/ √2 unit.  x-components of vector B = 100 cos 135° = -100/ √2 unit x-components of vector C = 100 cos 315°= 100/ √2 unit.  So, resultant x-compo...
