Q:

What is constellation?

A) A particular pattern of equidistant stars from the earth in the sky B) A particular pattern of stars that may not be equidistant from the earth in the sky
C) A particular pattern of planets of our solar system in the sky D) A particular pattern and satellites in the sky due totheir position in the space
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) A particular pattern of stars that may not be equidistant from the earth in the sky

Explanation:

A constellation is a group of stars that forms an imaginary outline or pattern on the celestial sphere, typically representing an animal, mythological person or creature, a god, or an inanimate object. Stars may or may not be equidistant from the earth.

Q:

For an ideal gas, which one of the following statements does not hold true?

A) The speed of all gas molecules is same B) The kinetic energies of all gas molecules are not same
C) The potential energy of the gas molecules is zero D) There is no interactive force between the molecules.
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) The speed of all gas molecules is same

Explanation:

In an ideal gas, at any particular time, different particles in the gas have different speeds and hence different kinetic energies. This assumption is reasonable because as the particles collide, we expect their speed to change. Even if initial speed of all the particles was same, the molecular collisions will disrupt this uniformity.Hence statement 1 is incorrect and 2 is correct.

Q:

In spherical polar coordinates (l, q, a), q denotesthe polar angle around z-axis and a denotes the azimuthal angle raised from x-axis . Then the y-component of P is given by

A) Psinq sina B) Psinq cosa
C) Pcosq sina D) Pcosq cosa
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Psinq sina

Explanation:

The Cartesian Coordinates can be retrieved from spherical coordinates (l,q,a) by:

X = r.sinq.cosa

Y = r.sinq.sina

Z = r.sinq

Using the same we get for P,

Y = P.sinq.sina

Q:

The PCl5 molecule has trigonal bipyramidal structure. Therefore,the hybridization of p orbitals should be

A) sp2 B) sp3
C) dsp2 D) dsp3
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) dsp3

Explanation:

The P atom needs five orbitals to form the five P-Cl bonds. It has a 3s and three 3p orbitals, so it must use one of its 3d orbitals to form the fifth bond. These orbitals are hybridized to form five sp3d orbitals that just happen to point in the right directions to form a trigonal bipyramid.

Q:

For a certain reaction,DGq = -45 kJ/mol and DHq= -90 kJ/mol at 0°C. What is the minimum temperature at which the reaction will become spontaneous, ifDHq and DSq are independent of temperature?

A) 273 K B) 298 K
C) 546 K D) 596 K
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 546 K

Explanation:

T = 273 °K

Using the formula,

DGq = DHq –TDS

-45 = -90 –273 DS

DS = 0.164

Now since DHq and DSq are independent,T2= DH/DS = 45/0.164 = 273°K

Required Temp = 273 + 273 = 546°K

Q:

When hot water is placed into an empty water bottle, the bottle keeps its shape and does not soften. What type of plastic is the water bottle made from?

A) Thermoplastic B) PVC
C) Polyurethane D) Thermosetting
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Thermosetting

Explanation:

Thermoset, or thermosetting, plastics are synthetic materials that strengthen during being heated, but cannot be successfully remouldedor reheated after their initial heat-forming. This contrasts withthermoplastics, which soften when heated and harden and strengthen after cooling. Thermoplastics can be heated, shaped and cooled as often as necessary without causing a chemical change, while thermosetting plastics will burn when heated after the initial moulding.

Q:

If one plots the tank irrigation in India and superimposes it with map of well irrigation,one may find that the two are negatively related. Which of the following statements explain the phenomenon?1. Tank irrigation predates well irrigation.2. Tank irrigation is in the areas with impervioussurface layers.3. Well irrigation requires sufficientground water reserves.4. Other forms of irrigation are not available.Select the correct answer using the code given below.

A) 1, 2 and 3 B) 2 and 3 only
C) 3 and 4 D) 1 and 4
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 2 and 3 only

Explanation:

The Tank irrigation is more in the rocky plateau area of the county, where the rainfall is uneven and highly seasonal. The Eastern Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Orissa, Interiors of Tamil Nadu and some parts of Andhra Pradesh have more land under tank irrigation.Well Irrigation is common in alluvial plains of the country except the deserts of Rajasthan. Plains of UP, Bihar, Gujarat, Karnataka & Tamil Nadu are the states which are more prominently under the well irrigation.These areas have huge groundwater reserves.

Well irrigation is much older than tank irrigation in India.
