Q:

Course materials are sent to students by a distance teaching institution. The probability that they will send a wrong programme’s study material is 1/5. There is a probability of 3/4 that the package is damaged in transit, and there is a probability of 1/3 that there is a short shipment. What is the probability that the complete material for the course arrives without any damage in transit? 

A) 4/5 B) 2/3
C) 1/2 D) 2/15
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 2/15

Explanation:

Probability of sending the correct material is 4/5

Q:

Which of the following is the strongest base?

A) LiCH3 B) LiF
C) LiOH D) LiNH2
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) LiCH3

Explanation:

The stability of the ions is determined by the energy of the lone pairs. Carbon has the least effective nuclear charge (Zeff) and so the lone pair on the CH3− ion has the highest energy, making it the least stable ion and so the strongest base. The Zeff increases as we move across the period until we get to fluorine which has the greatest Zeff and so its lone pairs have the lowest energy, making F− the least basic ion.

 

In order of decreasing basicity they are ranked LiCH3 > LiNH2 > LiOH > LiF. We are dealing with the ions F−, OH−, NH2− and CH3− and so the factor which influences their basicity is the stability of the ion compared to its conjugate acid.
