Given -
Molarity, C = 0.20 M
Electrolytic conductivity of a solution, κ = 0.0248 S cm-1
Molar conductivity =?
Molar conductivity, ∧m = K/C X 1000 S cm2 mol-1
=0.0248S cm-1 X 1000 Cm3L-1 / 0.20 mol L-1
∴ ∧m = 124 S cm2 mol-1
Molar conductivity (∧m) of 0.20 M solution of KCl at 298 K is 124 S cm2 mol-1

A DNA is a double-stranded molecule (two polynucleotide chains whose nitrogenous bases are connected by hydrogen bonds).
In this molecule pairing or connection of bases occurs. Adenine always pairs with thymine, while cytosine always pairs with guanine.
So when DNA is hydrolyzed the amount of adenine produced is exactly equal to the amount of thymine produced, similarly, the amount of cytosine produced is equal to that of guanine.
But as given when RNA is hydrolyzed, there is no relationship between the quantities of different bases obtained. This suggests that RNA is a single-stranded molecule.

The conductivity of a solution is defined as the conductance of one unit volume of solution kept between two platinum electrodes with a unit area of cross-section and at a distance of unit length.The molar conductivity of the solution is defined as the conducting power of all the ions produced by
one gram mole of an electrolyte in a solution. It is denoted by ∧m.
The conductivity of a solution (both for strong and weak electrolytes) always decreases with the decrease in concentration of the electrolyte i.e., on dilution. This pattern is seen because the number of ions per unit volume that carry the current in the solution d

Given - Zn → Zn2+ + 2e -, E0 = 0.76V (anode)
Ag2O + H2O + 2e - →2Ag + 2OH -, E0 = 0.344V (cathode), n = 2
ΔrG0 =?
Ecell0=?
Zn is oxidized and Ag2O is reduced.
Hence, the standard cell potential, Ecell0 is given as,
Ecell0 = ER0 - EL0
E0 cell = 0.344 + 0.76
∴ E0cell = 1.104 V
To calculate the standard Gibb's free energy? rG0, we use,
? rG0 = - nE0F → Equation 1
= - 2*96487*1.104 J
= - 213043.296 J
∴? rG0 = - 2.13*105 J
The standard cell potential, E0cell is 1.104 V and the standard Gibb's free energy? rG0 is - 2.13*105 J

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid due to extensive –H bonding with water due to the presence of –OH group) is a water-soluble vitamin in contrast to vitamin A, D, E and K which are fat soluble. Also, humans cannot synthesize it due to the lack of specific enzyme and it is rapidly absorbed from the intestine.
Because it is water-soluble, it is not stored in our body to a significant amount but is readily excreted in the urine.

(i) Mg(s)|Mg 2+(0.001M)Cu2+(0.0001 M)|Cu(s) (ii) Fe(s)|Fe 2+(0.001M)H+ (1M)|H2 (g)(1bar)| Pt(s) (iii) Sn(s)|Sn2+(0.050 M)H+ (0.020 M)|H2 (g) (1 bar)|Pt(s) (iv) Pt(s)|Br – (0.010 M)|Br2 (l )H+ (0.030 M)| H2 (g) (1 bar)|Pt(s).
A 3.5 Ecell = ?
(i) Mg + Cu2+ → Mg2+ + Cu (n = 2)
E0 Cu2+ / Cu+ = 0.34V
E0 Mg 2+ / Mg = - 2.37 V
Ecell0 = ER0-EL0
Ecell0 = 0.34 - ( - 2.37) → Equation 1
Using Nernst equation, we get,
Substituting Equation 1 in equation 2, we get,
∴ Ecell = 0.34 - ( - 2.37) - 0.0591 / 2 log 10 -3/ 10-4
= 2.71 - 0.0591 / 2 log 10
= 2.71 - 0.02955
∴ Ecell = 2.68 V
The e.m.f of the cell, Ecell is 2.68 V

Eggs contain protein and proteins are a polymer in amino acids. When an egg is boiled the protein present inside the egg is denatured (the process of loss of biological activity of protein like their ability of –H bonding when subjected to a physical change like a change in temperature, pH) and coagulated (the process of liquid changing to a solid or semi-solid state). Due to this, the water present in the egg is absorbed by the coagulated protein by –H bonding.

(1) Known - E0Cr3+/Cr = - 0.74 V
E0 cd2+ = - 0.40 V
? rG0 =? K =?
The galvanic cell of the given reaction is written as - Cr (s)|Cr3+ (aq)| Cd2+ (aq)|Cd (s)→ Reaction 1
Hence, the standard cell potential is given as, E0 = ER0 - EL0
= - 0.40 - (- 0.74)
∴ E0 = + 0.34 V
To calculate the standard Gibb's free energy? rG0, we use,
? rG0 = - nE0F → Equation 1
wherenF is the amount of charge passed and E0 is the standard reduction electrode potential. Substituting n = 6 (no. of e - involved in the reaction 1), F = 96487 C mol-1,
E0 = + 0.34 V in Equation 1, we get, l
? rG0 = - 6*0.34V*96487 C mol-1
= - 196833.48 CV mol-1
= - 196833.48 J mol-1
∴?

Amino acids are organic compounds containing amine (basic) and carboxyl (acidic) functional group with a specific side chain. Both acidic and basic group are present in the same molecule. In, aqueous solution carboxyl group can lose a proton (H+) and amino group can accept a proton (H+) giving rise to the dipolar ion called as zwitter ion. Zwitter ion is shown below:
In this zwitter ion there is the presence of both positive as well as negative charge, so there is the development of strong electrostatic force of attraction between the molecules and the water. For this reason solubility of amino acids is higher. Due to strong e
