0.10M जलिय HCl द्रावणाचा pH काढण्यासाठी खालीलपैकी कोणता गणितीय संबंध वापरावा ? Which of the following mathematical relationships should be used to calculate the pH of a 0.10M aqueous HCl solution ?
pH is defined as the negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration: pH = -log10[H+]. For 0.10M HCl, [H+] = 0.10 or 1.0 x 10⁻¹ M, giving pH = -log10(1.0 x 10⁻¹).
1.5M H₂SO₄ च्या 10 dm³ द्रावणापासून 1.0N H₂SO₄ चे द्रावण कसे बनवाल ? How is 1.0N H₂SO₄ solution is prepared from 10 dm³ of 1.5M H₂SO₄ solution ?
Normality (N) = Molarity (M) x n-factor. For H2SO4, n-factor is 2, so 1.5M H2SO4 is 3.0N. Using dilution formula N1V1 = N2V2 (3.0 x 10 = 1.0 x V2), the final volume V2 must be 30 dm³. Since we already have 10 dm³, we need to add 20 dm³ of water.
NH₃ आणि BF₃ च्या आकारांबद्दल खालीलपैकी कोणता पर्याय अचूक आहे ? Which of the following is correct for the shapes of NH₃ and BF₃ ?
NH3 has 3 bond pairs and 1 lone pair, resulting in a pyramidal shape due to sp3 hybridization and lone pair-bond pair repulsion. BF3 has 3 bond pairs and no lone pairs, resulting in a trigonal planar shape due to sp2 hybridization.
खालीलपैकी कोणत्या हायड्रोकार्बनमध्ये 80% कार्बन असतो ? (H = 1, C = 12) Which of the following hydrocarbon has 80% carbon ? (H = 1, C = 12)
Percentage composition by mass = (mass of carbon / molar mass) x 100. Ethane (C2H6): molar mass = 2(12) + 6(1) = 30. %C = 24/30 x 100 = 80%. For comparison: Methane (CH4) is 75% C, Benzene (C6H6) is 92.3% C, Cyclohexane (C6H12) is 85.7% C -- only Ethane matches the given 80%.
180 ग्रॅम अॅसेटिक आम्ल (CH3COOH) आणि 180 ग्रॅम पाणी (H2O) एकमेकांत मिसळले. तयार झालेल्या द्रावणात अॅसेटिक आम्लाचा मोल फॅक्शन ______ इतका असेल. [H = 1, C = 12, O = 16] 180 g of acetic acid (CH3COOH) is mixed with 180 g of water (H2O). The mole fraction of acetic acid in the resultant solution is [H = 1, C = 12, O = 16]
Molar mass of CH3COOH = 12+3+12+16+16+1 = 60 g/mol. Moles of CH3COOH = 180 / 60 = 3. Molar mass of H2O = 18 g/mol. Moles of H2O = 180 / 18 = 10. Mole fraction of acetic acid = Moles of acid / Total moles = 3 / (3 + 10) = 3 / 13 = 0.23.
जर 1.0 मोल आदर्श वायूचे आकारमान मानक तापमान आणि दाबाला 22.4 Lit असेल तर सर्वकष वायु स्थिरांक, R ______ असतो. If one mole of an ideal gas occupies 22.4 Lit at Standard Temperature and Pressure, then the value of the universal gas constant R is
The universal gas constant R = 0.0821 atm.L.mol-1.K-1, equivalently 8.314 J.K-1.mol-1 or 8.314x10^7 erg.K-1.mol-1 (since 1 J = 10^7 erg). Option (a) states this correctly in atm.L units. Option (b) is wrong because it labels the value Joules, not erg -- 8.314x10^7 is only correct when the unit is erg. Option (d) gives the right unit (erg) but drops the x10^7 factor.

Voluntary acquisition of another country's citizenship, obtaining it through fraud, and showing disloyalty to the Constitution are grounds for termination/deprivation, while minor imprisonment after registration is not a direct constitutional ground.
