By sucking through a straw, a boy can reduce the pressure in his lungs to $750\ mm$ of $Hg$ (density$ = 13.6\,\,g/c{m^3}$). Using a straw, he can drink water from a maximum depth of

chemistry substances in the surroundings - their states and properties measurement of density properties of substances fundamental and derived units

  1. $13.6\ cm$

  2. $1.36\ cm$

  3. $0.136\ cm$

  4. $10\ cm$

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Given Pressure in lungs${P} _{lungs}=750$ mm of Hg

and atmospheric pressure${P} _{atm}=760$ mm of Hg
Now pressure difference $\Delta{P}=760-750=10$ mm of Hg=1 cm of Hg
Now
1 cm of Hg$={\rho} _{water}gh$
$1{\rho} _{Hg}g={\rho} _{water}gh$
$13.6g=gh$
$h=13.6 cm$

  1. $32^oF$

  2. $39.2^oF$

  3. $42^oF$

  4. $4^oF$

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Maximum density of water is at $4^0C$


Here, the value in degree celsius is converting to degree Fahrenheit.

$T(°F) = (T(°C) × \dfrac 95 )+ 32$

or

$T(°F) = (T(°C) × 1.8) + 32$

We have,

$T(^0C)=4^0C$

Then,

$T(°F) = (4 × 1.8) + 32=39.2^oF$

A $10L$ container is filled with a gas to a pressure of $2atm$ at $0^0C.$ At what temperature will the pressure inside the container be $2.50atm?$   

chemistry substances in the surroundings - their states and properties measurement of density properties of substances fundamental and derived units

  1. $68^0C$

  2. $50^0C$

  3. $40^0C$

  4. $45^0C$

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Since at both times, container is same . which means that volume remains constant. By applying ideal gas equation.

$PV=nRT$

or $\dfrac{P _{1}}{T _{1}}=\dfrac{P _{2}}{T _{2}}$

Substituting as per question,
$P _{1}=2 atm$ 
$p _{2}=2.5atm$
$T _{1}=0^\circ or \ 273k \ use \ S.I.unit $
$T _{2}=?$

$\dfrac{2}{273}=\dfrac{2.5}{T _{2}}$ or $T _{2}=\dfrac{2.5\times 273}{2}$

$=341.25K$           $(341.25-273=68.25)$
$=68.25^\circ C$

chemistry substances in the surroundings - their states and properties measurement of density properties of substances fundamental and derived units

  1. 1%

  2. 2%

  3. 11%

  4. 25%

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

$m = 20.00g$

$v = 5.0\,c{m^2}$
$d = \dfrac{m}{v}$

$ \Rightarrow \dfrac{{\Delta d}}{d} \times 100 = \dfrac{{\Delta m}}{m} \times 100 + \dfrac{{\Delta v}}{v} \times 100$

$ \Rightarrow \dfrac{{\Delta d}}{d} \times 100 = \dfrac{{0.01}}{{20}} \times 100 + \dfrac{{0.1}}{5} \times 100 = \dfrac{1}{{20}} + 2$

$ \Rightarrow \dfrac{{\Delta d}}{d} \times 100 = 2.005$

$\therefore \% $ error in density $ \approx 2\% $
Hence,
option $(B)$ is correct answer.
