Calculate the quantity of heat released when 100g of steam at 100°C condenses to water(Take the specific latent heat of vaporization of water as 2.3x \(10^6Jkg^{-1}\))

A.

2.3x\(10^{1}J\)

B.

2.3x\(10^{2}J\)

C.

2.3x\(10^{4}J\)

D.

2.3x\(10^{5}J\)

E.

3.3x\(10^{7}J\)

Correct answer is D

\(\Delta{H}=mL=0.1\times2.3\times10^6=2.3\times10^5\)J

A solid material of volume 100\(cm^{-3}\) is heated through a temperature difference of 40°C. Calculate the increase in the volume of the material if its linear expansitivity is 2 x \(10^{-6}K{-1}\)

A.

2.4 x\(10^{-2}cm^{-3}\)

B.

1.6 x\(10^{-2}cm^{-3}\)

C.

8 x\(10^{-2}cm^{-3}\)

D.

5 x\(10^{-2}cm^{-3}\)

E.

4 x\(10^{-2}cm^{-3}\)

Correct answer is A

\(3{\alpha}= \frac{\Delta{V}}{V_1\Delta{T}}\Rightarrow \frac{\Delta{V}}{100\times40}=3\alpha\, where\, \alpha = 2 \times 10^{-6}\\ \frac{\Delta{V}}{4000}=6\times10^{-6}\Rightarrow \Delta=4\times10^3\times6\times10^{-6}= 2.4\times10^{-2}cm^{-3}\)

At what distance from a simple microscope must an object be placed so that the image 5 times the size of the object is produced 20cm from the lens?

A.

2cm

B.

3.3cm

C.

4cm

D.

5cm

E.

15cm

Correct answer is C

M=\(\frac {v}{u}=5\Rightarrow v=5u=20,let u be x\\ v=5x if v=20 then 5x=20 therefore x=20/5=4\,u=4cm\)
