Complete combustion of 750 g of an organic compound ....

Complete combustion of 750 g of an organic compound provides 420 g of $CO_2 $ and 210 g of $H_2 O $. The percentage composition of carbon and hydrogen in organic compound is 15.3 and _ _ _ _ respectively. (Round off to the nearest integer)

Solution

${n_{{H_2}O}} = \frac{{210}}{{18}} = \frac{{35}}{3}$

${n_H} = 2 \times {n_{{H_2}O}} = 2 \times \frac{{35}}{3} = \frac{{70}}{3}$

${m_H} = 1 \times \frac{{70}}{3}g$

% of H $ = \frac{{70 \times 100}}{{3 \times 750}} = 3.11\%  \approx 3\% $

Answer: 3

A man starts walking from the point P (-3, 4) ....

A man starts walking from the point P (-3, 4), touches the x-axis at R, and then turns to reach at the point Q (0, 2). The man is walking at a constant speed. If the man reaches the point Q in the minimum time, then $50 [(PR)^2 + (RQ)^2 ]$ is equal to _ _ _ _ . Solution For time to be minimum at constant speed, the directions must be symmetric. In other words, the angles made by PR and RQ with the vertical must be the same just like in the law of reflection in optics. $tan \theta = \frac {MP}{MR} = \frac {NQ}{NR} $ $\Rightarrow \frac {3-r}{4} = \frac {r}{2}$ $\Rightarrow r=1 $ So, $R \equiv ( - 1,0)$ Now, $50(PR^2+RQ^2)=50[(4+16)+(1+4)]=1250$
