Which is correct statement?
(1) The entropy of the universe increases
and tends towards the maximum
value
(2) All natural processes are irreversible
(3) For reversible isolated processes,
change of entropy is zero
(4) For irreversible expansion of
isolated processes, entropy change < 0
Two blocks of masses 2 kg and 3 kg
are kept on a smooth inclined plane.
A constant force of magnitude 20 N is
applied on 2 kg block parallel to the
inclined. The contact force between
the two blocks is
A women swimming upstream is not
moving with respect to the ground. Is
she doing any work, if she stops
swimming and merely floats is work
done on her?
A 50 g lead bullet, sp. heat 0.02 is
initially at 30°C. It is fired vertically
upwards with a speed of 840 m/s and
on returning to the starting level strikes
a cake of ice at 0°C. How much ice is
melted? Assume that all energy is
spent in melting only (L = 80 cal/g).
A uniform chain of mass M and length
L is hanging from the table. The chain
is in limiting equilibrium when l length
of chain over hangs. It is slightly
disturbed from this position. Find the
speed of the chain just after it completely
comes off the table.
The reaction CH_4 (g) + Cl_2 (g) → CH_3 Cl(g)
+ HCl(g) has ΔH = −25 kcal and bond
dissociation energy of C − Cl, H − Cl,
C − H and Cl − Cl is given as 84 kcal/mol,
103 kcal/mol, x kcal/mol and y kcal/mol
respectively. Given x : y = 9 : 5, then
bond energy of Cl − Cl bond in kcal/mol
is
Consider the system shown in the
figure. Initially the system was in rest.
(i) Find the acceleration of block if man
climbs the rod with acceleration a (w.r.t.
rod)
(ii) If the man climb to the top of the
rod then find the distance moved by the
block.
The standard enthalpy of formation of
gaseous H_2 O at 298 K is −241.82 kJ
mol^(−1) . Estimate its value of 100°C given
the following values of the molar heat
capacities at constant pressure:
H_2 O(g) : 35.58 JK^(−1) mol^(−1) , H_2 (g) :
28.84 J mol^(−1) K^(−1) and O_2 (g) : 29.37 J
mol^(−1) K^(−1) . Assume heat capacity to be
independent of temperature.
A baloon filled with helium rises against
gravity increasing its potential energy.
The speed of the baloon also increases
as it rises. How do you reconcile this
with the law of conservation of
mechanical energy? You can neglect
viscous drag of air and assume that
density of air is constant.
