Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
According to Faraday's Law, the mass of the substance deposited is directly proportional to the time for which the current flows, assuming a constant current. Therefore, the graph should show a linear increase in mass over time, which corresponds to option A

Solution
An oxide XO\(_2\) has a vapour density of 32. What is the atomic mass of X?
A
32
B
20
C
14
D
12
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
Relative molecular mass of XO\(_2\) = 2 \times vapour density
Relative molecular mass → (2 x 32) = 64
Atomic mass of X:
X + [16 x 2] = 64
X = 64 - 32
= 32

medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
Decrease in temperature favors in Equilibrium Constant[k] for this exothermic reaction.
The only factor that can affect an equilibrium constant is temperature:
Endothermic reactions
Increasing the temperature increases the equilibrium constant, and decreasing the temperature decreases it.
Exothermic reactions
Increasing the temperature decreases the equilibrium constant, and decreasing the temperature increases it. - Option A

C
2y - x - 2 ≤ 0, y + 2x + 2 ≤ 0, y ≥ 0, x ≤ 0
D
2y - x - 2 ≥ 0, y + 2x + 2 ≤ 0, x ≤ 0
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Step-by-Step Mathematical Solution
The two major lines have their lower portions involved. Since there are no broken lines here,\(\leq\) will hold for the two major lines
that is, 2y - x - 2 = 0 becomes 2y - x - 2 \(\leq\) 0
y + 2x + 2 = 0 becomes y + 2x + 2 \(\leq\) 0
Triangle SPT is located at the positive side of the y-axis, so y \(\geq\) 0, and the negative side of the x-axis so, x \(\leq\)
Therefore, OPTION C is correct.

< T = \(\frac{x}{1}\) = 25o (PQ = QT)
< SQR = 2(25o) = 50o (sum of interior angle)
< Q + < R + < S = 180o
50o + 75o + < S = 180o = 125o + < S = 180o

medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Step-by-Step Mathematical Solution
Using cosine formula (t\(\sqrt{3}\))2 = t2 + t2 - 2t2 cos\(\theta\)
3t2 = 2t2 - 2t2 cos\(\theta\) = 2t2(1 - cos\(\theta\))
1 - cos\(\theta\) = \(\frac{3t^2}{2t^2}\) = \(\frac{3}{2}\)
cos = 1 - \(\frac{3}{2} = -\frac{1}{2}\)
\(\theta\) = cos-1(-\(\frac{1}{2}\)) = 120o and 240o
N.B 0 \(\geq\) \(\theta\) 360
