Question 2. Find out the ratio of the Volumes occupied by 32g O₂ and 44g CO₂ gases at 27°C temperature and 700 mm Hg pressure (C= 12, O= 16).
Answer:

Molar mass of O₂ = (16+16) 32 g = 1 mol

Molar mass of CO₂ = (12+32) 44 g = 1 mol

So, Volume of both is = 22.4 litre.

Ratio of volume = 1:1

Or

A fixed mass of a gas occupies a volume of 520 cm3 at -13°C temperature. Keeping the pressure unchanged, when the gas is heated the volume of the gas increases to 700 cm. What is the final temperature of the gas in degrees Celsius?
Answer:

Mass of the gas const. (m)

According to the problem

T₁ =-13°C= 273° + (-13°)K

= 260K.

V₁= 520 cm³

P₁ = 76 cm [Mercury pressure]

T₂ = ?

V₂  = 700 cm³

P₂  = 76cm.

⇒ \(\frac{P_1 V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2 V_2}{T_2}\)

⇒ \(\frac{76 \times 520}{260}\)

∴ \(=\frac{76 \times 700}{T_2}\)

T₂ = 350

= (350-273)

= 77°C.

Final temperature = 77° C./350K.

Class 10 Physical Science Solution WBBSE Physical Science And Environment Answer The Following Questions

Question 1. State Avogadero’s law.

At a certain fixed temperature and pressure, the molar volumes (V/n) of the real gases are nearly equal and at STP the limit is 22.4 L met.  How Avogadro’s law can be arrived at from this information obtained from experiments?
Answer:

Equal volumes of gases at the same temperature and pressure contain equal numbers of molecules.

1 mol of gas contains 6.022×10²³  numbers of atoms.

6.022×10²³ numbers of atomic volumes are very merged in respect of the volume of gas.

Question 2. A and B react to produce C according to the following chemical equation. 2A+ B →2C A, B and C are the formulas for three gaseous substances. The vapour densities of A and B are 32 and 16 respectively. Find out the vapour density of C.

Answer: 2A+B-2C

Vapour density of A = 32

Vapour density of B = 16

We know,

Vapour density = 1/2 x molecular mass.

∴ Molecular mass of A = (2 x 32) = 64 g

∴ Total Molecular mass reactant (64×2) + 32 = 160 g

B(2×16)= 32 g

‍ ∴ Mass of 2C = 160g

Mass of C= \(\frac{160}{2}\)g

C= 80g

∴ Vapour density of C = 1/2 x molecular mass

= \(\frac{1}{2}\) x 80=40 g

Or

According to the following chemical equation:

1. 2ZnS +3O₂ → 2ZnO +2SO₂ from 100 mole of ZnS
2. How many grams of ZnO, and
3. How many mol of SO, will be produced? (Zn65.5, S = 32, O= 16)

Answer:

2ZnS +3O₂ → 2ZnO +2SO₂

⇒ 2 x (65.5 + 32) → 2 x (65.5+ 16)

⇒ 195→ 163

1= 163/195

ZnO = 8,150gm

195→ (32+32) = 128

195→128

1 → 128/195

9750→ \(\frac{128 \times 9750}{195}\)

= 6400gm

= \(\frac{6400}{64}\)

= 100  mole SO₂

1. 8,150 gm of ZnO, and
2. 100 mole of SO, will be produced.

= 30°-45-60° (As it is an equilateral triangle)

= 15°

Question 6. Two metallic conductors A and B of the same length have resistivities of 1.6×10⁸ Ω and 3.2×10^-8 m respectively. These two conductors are separately connected to the same potential difference what would be the ratio of their cross sections in order to have the same current flowing through each of them?
Answer:

R= \(\frac{P l}{A}\) and

V=IR

R= \(\frac{V}{l}\)

R = \(\frac{V}{l}\)

= \(\frac{P l}{A}\)

As potential difference(v), current (I)and Length(l) are

∴ \(\frac{P}{A}\) Constant

∴ \(\frac{P_1}{A_1}=\frac{P_2}{A_2}\)

⇒  \(\frac{1.6 \times 10^{-8}}{A_1}=\frac{3.2 \times 10^{-8}}{A_2}\)

⇒ \(\frac{A_2}{A_1}=\frac{2}{1}\)

⇒ A₁ : A₂  = 1:2

Or

The series combination of two 10Ω-ohm resistances is connected in parallel combination with a 20-ohm resistance. Determine the equivalent resistance of the final combination.
Answer:

Series combination:

∴ Equivalent resistance = Rp.

∴ Rp = R₁+R₂

= 10Ω+10Ω = 20 Ω

∴ Rp =20 Ω

Parallel combination

Equivalent resistance = \(\frac{1}{R p}\)

⇒ \(\frac{1}{R p}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}\)

= \(\frac{1}{20}+\frac{1}{20}\)

= \(\frac{1+1}{20}\)

= \(\frac{2}{20}\)

= \(\frac{1}{10} \Omega\)

Rp=10 Ω

Question 7. What is meant by electrical power? The dating of a bulb is written as 220V- 100W. What is its meaning?
