Which lanthanoid has an electronic configuration of 4f^{14 5d¹ 6s² in its ground state?

Given: Which lanthanoid has an electronic configuration of 4f^{14 5d¹ 6s² in its ground state? These values define the system as per NCERT data. Formula: Lutetium (Lu, Z = 71) has 4f^{14 5d¹ 6s², marking the end of the lanthanoid series.. 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.

The vapor pressure of pure water at 298 K is 23.8 mm Hg. What is the vapor pressure of a solution containing 30 g of suc

Given: The vapor pressure of pure water at 298 K is 23.8 mm Hg. What is the vapor pressure of a solution containing 30 g of sucrose ( C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ ) in 270 g of water? (Molar mass: C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ = 342 g/mol ) These values define the system as per NCERT data. Formula: Moles of sucrose = 30/342 = 0.0877 mol. This is the standard NCERT relation for this phenomenon. Substitution & Calculation: Moles of water = 270/18 = 15 mol . Mole fraction of water = 15/15 + 0.0877 = 0.994 . Vapor pressure = 0.994 × 23.8 = 23.66 mm Hg . 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.
