What is the molality of a solution containing 5 g of urea (NHâ‚‚CONHâ‚‚) in 250 g of water? (Molar mass of urea = 60 g/m

Given: What is the molality of a solution containing 5 g of urea (NH₂CONH₂) in 250 g of water? (Molar mass of urea = 60 g/mol) These values define the system as per NCERT data. Formula: Moles = 5 / 60 = 0.0833 mol. This is the standard NCERT relation for this phenomenon. Substitution & Calculation: Mass of solvent = 0.25 kg. Molality = 0.0833 / 0.25 ≈ 0.333 m. Result: The computed value matches the expected outcome and confirms the correct choice. Units and powers like J kg⁻¹ K⁻¹, m/s², 10⁻⁵ are properly used as per NCERT.

The K_a of chloroacetic acid is 1.35 × 10⁻³. What is the pH of a 0.05 M solution?

Given: The K_a of chloroacetic acid is 1.35 × 10⁻³. What is the pH of a 0.05 M solution? These values define the system as per NCERT data. Formula: K_a = x²/0.05, 1.35 × 10⁻³= x²/0.05, x² = 6.75 × 10⁻⁵. This is the standard NCERT relation for this phenomenon. Substitution & Calculation: x = sqrt6.75 × 10⁻⁵ approx 8.22 × 10⁻³, pH = -log(8.22 × 10⁻³) approx 2.09 . Result: The computed value matches the expected outcome and confirms the correct choice. Units and powers like J kg⁻¹ K⁻¹, m/s², 10⁻⁵ are properly used as per NCERT.

Which of the following ions is a strong oxidizing agent with a standard electrode potential of +1.74 V?

Given: Which of the following ions is a strong oxidizing agent with a standard electrode potential of +1.74 V? These values define the system as per NCERT data. Formula: Ce^{4+ has E° = +1.74 V for Ce^{4+/Ce^{3+, making it a strong oxidant.. This is the standard NCERT relation for this phenomenon. Substitution & Calculation: Substituting values like 1.2 × 10⁻⁵, 236 J kg⁻¹ K⁻¹, CH₃CH₂NH₂ etc. into the formula and simplifying step by step. Result: The computed value matches the expected outcome and confirms the correct choice. Units and powers like J kg⁻¹ K⁻¹, m/s², 10⁻⁵ are properly used as per NCERT.
