A cornot engine whose heat sinks at 27°C has an efficiency of 25%. By how many degrees should the temperature of the source be changed to increase the efficiency by 100% of the original efficiency?
A cornot engine whose heat sinks at 27°C has an efficiency of 25%. By how many degrees should the temperature of the source be changed to increase the efficiency by 100% of the original efficiency?
0.25 = 1 -
0.25 = 1 -
T1 = 400 k
Now, efficiency increases by 100%
= 0.25 × 2
= 0.50
0.50 = 1 -
(600 – 400) = 200 k or 200° C
Starting with the same initial conditions, an ideal gas expands form volume V1 to V2 in the three different ways. The work done by the gas in W1 if the process is purely isothermal, W2, if the process is purely adiabatic and W3 if the process is purely isobaric. Then, choose the correct option

Process-AB Isobaric,
Process-AC Isothermal, and
Process-AD? Adiabatic
W2 < W1 < W3
Amongst SF4, XeF4, CF4 and H2O, the number of species with two lone pairs of electrons is___________.
Amongst SF4, XeF4, CF4 and H2O, the number of species with two lone pairs of electrons is___________.
Water has only two lone pair and XeF4 has two lone pair electron in opposite plane of the central atom.
A 110 V, 50Hz, AC source is connected in the circuit (as shown in figure). The current through the resistance at resonance in the circuit, will be__________A.

At Resonance

XL = XC
then lL = lC
Now phasor diagram
for L & C
So, Net current = zero

Therefore current through R circuit at resonance will be zero
17.0g of NH3 completely vapourises at -33.42°C and 1 bar pressure and the enthalpy change the process is 23.4 kJ mol-1. The enthalpy change for the vapourisation of 85g of NH3 under the same conditions is_____ kJ.

85gm NH3 = 5 moles of NH3
Enthalpy change for 1 mol = 23.4 kJ
Then enthalpy change for 5 mol = 23.4 * 5 = 117 kJ
2.4g coal is burnt in a bomb calorimeter in excess of oxygen at 298 K and 1 atm pressure. The temperature of the calorimeter rises from 298 K to 300 K. The enthalpy change during the combustion of coal is -x kJ mol-1. The value of x is ____________.
(Given : Heat capacity of bomb calorimeter 20.0 kJ K-1. Assume coal to be pure carbon)
