Explanation / Answer

1)

Fuel value of food is defined as, “Fuel values are defined as the amount of energy generated by complete combustion of a particular mass of the fuel”

Hence,

           0.235 g of food 3.84 kJ of energy

Then, 1 g of food         say E kJ of energy

By cross multiplication method,

E x 0.235 = 3.48 x 1

E = 3.84/0.235

E = 16.34 kJ

E = 16.34 x 1000 J .............. (1 kJ = 1000 J)

E = 16340 J

E = 16348 x 0.239 cal   ……………..(1 cal = 4.184 J implies 1 J = (4.184)–1 = 0.239 cal)

E = 3907.8 cal

E = 3910 cal   (apprx.)

Option-A

=============================

2) In rate law concentration are raised to the power equal to the their individual order in chemical reaction.

For the reaction, A + 2B + C ---------> D + 2E

Individual order of

A is 1, B is 1, and of C is 2.

Hence the rate law expression is,

Rate = [A]1[B]1[C]2

Option-A

=============================

3)

Enthalpy change i.e. heat absorbed by water (q), temperature change (rise here)(T), specific heat Cp and mass of heat absorber (water here) m in gram are related as,

q = m x Cp x T …………. (1)

For neutralization experiment carried out here,

Mass of water (m) = 100 g

Specific heat of water Cp = 1.00 cal/g oC.

T = 31.5 – 25 = 6.5 oC

Let us put all these values in above eq. (1) and find q

q = 100 g x 1.00 cal/g oC x 6.5 oC

q = 650 cal

Option-E

====================================

4) Given equilibrium reaction is,

A (g) <--------> 2 B (g)

Expression for equilibrium constant (Keq)

Keq = [B]2/[A] ………..(2)

Where [B], [A] are equilibrium concentrations.

Given data:

Equilibrium concentrations are,

[B] = 0.154 M and [A] = 0.381 M

Let us put these values in eq.(1) and find Keq

Keq = (0.154)2/(0.381)

Keq = (0.0237) / (0.381)

Keq = 0.0622

Option-A

=========================================

5) pH of a buffer is given by Henderson- Hasselbalch equation,

pH = pKa + log {[Salt]/[Acid]} ……….(3)

For H2CO3-NaHCO3 (Carbonic acid – Sodium bi-carbonate) buffer,

Both H2CO3 and NaHCO3 are with equal concentration

i.e. [H2CO3] =[NaHCO3] = 1

[H2CO3] =[NaHCO3]

i.e. [NaHCO3] / [H2CO3] = 1

with this values in eq.(3) we get,

pH = pKa + log (1)

pH = pKa + 0 …………..(log 1 = 0)

pH = pKa

But pKa is defined as pKa = - log (Ka)

Hence,

pH = – log(Ka)

For H2CO3 , Ka = 4.5 x 10–7

Put it in above equation

pH = – log (4.5 x 10–7)

pH = 6.35

Option-C

Note: for buffer with equimolar concentrations of acid and salt pH is numerically equal to pKa.
