Q:

The carbon tetrachloride molecule (CCl4) is

A) a nonpolar molecule with polar bonds B) a nonpolar molecule with nonpolar bonds
C) a polar molecule with polar bonds D) a polar molecule with nonploar bonds
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) a nonpolar molecule with polar bonds

Explanation:

The four bonds of carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) are polar, but the molecule is nonpolar because the bond polarity is cancelled by the symmetric tetrahedral shape. Hence, making the net dipole as zero and molecule as non-polar.

 

When other atoms substitute for some of the Cl atoms, the symmetry is broken and the molecule becomes polar.

Q:

A bike runs at the speed of 35 km/h when not serviced and runs at 55 km/h, when serviced. After servicing the bike covers a certain distance in 5 h. How much approximate time will the bike take to cover the same distance when not serviced?

A) 8 hrs B) 7.5 hrs
C) 7 hrs D) 6.5 hrs
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 8 hrs

Explanation:

Given speed of the bike after servicing = 55 kmph

Time taken for travelling some distance at 55 kmph = 5 hrs

Then, 

Distance = Speed x Time = 55 x 5 = 275 kms.

Now, 

Speed of the bike before servicing = 35 kmph

Distance = 275 kms

Now, Time = Distance/Speed = 275/35 = 7.85 hrs =~ 8 hrs.
