Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
When drawing a ray diagram for instance drawing two rays from the head of the object, the point of intersection of the two rays represents the position of the head of the image, but in the case of parallel rays of light drawn from the object such that the image is likewise formed at infinity, the ray from the head of the object forms the head of the image, similarly, the ray from the leg of the image. from the diagrams drawn, it is only in W that the ray from the head forms the leg of the image, others are correctly drawn

The number of molecules of Carbon(iv)Oxide produced when 10.0g of CaCO\(_3\) is treated with 0.2dm\(^3\) of 1 Mole of HCL in the equation
CaCO\(_3\) + 2HCL ⇒ CaCl\(_2\) + H\(_2\) O + CO\(_2\) , is?
A
1.00 X 10\(^{23}\)
B
6.02 X 10\(^{23}\)
C
6.02 X 10\(^{22}\)
D
6.02 X 10\(^{24}\)
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
1 mole of CaCO\(_3\) = 100g or 6.02 X 10\(^{23}\)
liberated 1 mole of CO\(_2\) or 44g or 6.02 X 10\(^{23}\)
:100g = 6.02 X 10\(^{23}\)
10g of CaCO\(_3\) = x
cross multiply
[10g X 6.02 X 10\(^{23}\)] / 100g = x
⇒ x = 6.02 X 10\(^{22}\)
Since
6.02 X 10\(^{23}\) of CaCO\(_3\) liberated 6.02 X 10\(^{23}\) of CO\(_2\)
⇒ 6.02 X 10\(^{22}\) of CaCO\(_3\) will liberate 6.02 X 10\(^{22}\) of CO\(_2\)

Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
The force required to make an object of mass \( m \), traveling with velocity \( v \), turn in a circle of radius \( r \) is known as the \textbf{centripetal force}. The formula for centripetal force \( F_c \) is given by: \(F_c = \frac{mv^2}{r}\)
where:\( m \) = mass of the object, \( v \) = velocity of the object, \( r \) = radius of the circular path.

increase the current by 0.4A
B
reduce the current by 0.4A
C
increase the current by 0.6A
D

medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
When K is open. Total Resistance = 8 + 2 = 10\(\Omega\)
1 = \(\frac{V}{\Omega}\) = \(\frac{6v}{\Omega}\) = 0.6A
Where K is closed, \(\frac{1}{8} + \frac{1}{8} = \frac{1}{\Omega}\)
\(\frac{2}{8} = \frac{1}{\Omega}\)
\(\Omega\) = \(\frac{8}{2}\) = 4\(\Omega\)
\(\Omega\) = \(\frac{8}{2}\) = 4\(\Omega\)
4\(\Omega\) in series with 2\(\Omega\)= 6\(\Omega\)
1 = \(\frac{V}{\Omega}\) = \(\frac{6}{6}\) = 1A
1 - 0.6A = 0.4A increase
