Mensuration (Areas, Perimeters & Volumes)
Solution
The volume of a cylinder is 1200cm3 and the area of its base is 150cm2. Find the height of the cylinder.
A
80.00cm
B
8.00cm
C
0.80cm
D
0.08cm
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Step-by-Step Mathematical Solution
Vol. of cylinder = \(\pi r^2h\) = 1200cm2
Area of base = \(\pi(r^2)\) = 150cm2
h = \(\frac{\text{volume of cylinder}}{\text{base area}} = \frac{1200}{150}\)
= 8.00cm

Trigonometry, Elevation & Bearings
Solution
Y is 60 km away from X on a bearing of 135°. Z is 80 km away from X on a bearing of 225°. Find the :
(a) distance of Z from Y ;
(b) bearing of Z from Y.
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option
Step-by-Step Mathematical Solution
(a) < ZXY = 225^\circ - 135^\circ
= 90^\circ.
\(\therefore /ZY/ = 80^{2} + 60^{2}\)
= \(6400 + 3600 = 10000\)
\(/ZY/ = \sqrt{10000}\)
= 100 km.
(b) From \(\Delta\) XYZ,
\(\tan \theta = \frac{opp}{adj}\)
\(\tan \theta = \frac{80}{60} = 1.333\)
\(\theta = \tan^{-1} (1.333)\)
\(\theta = 53.13^\circ\)
Bearing of Z from Y = \(360^\circ - (45^\circ + 53.13^\circ)\)
= \(360^\circ - 98.13^\circ\)
= \(261.87^\circ \approxeq 262^\circ\) (3 significant figures)

Temperature, Thermometry & Thermal Expansion
Solution
A blacksmith heated a metal whose cubic expansivity is 6.3 x 10\(^{-6}\)K\(^{-1}\). The area expansivity is
A
2.0 x 10-6K-1
B
2.1 x 10-6K-1
C
4.2 x 10-6K-1
D
6.3 x 10-6K-1
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
If the linear expansivity = ∝
=> area expansivity \beta = 2∝.
And cubic expansivity δ = 3∝.
=> 6.3 x 10\(^{-6}\) = 3∝
∴ ∝ = \(\frac{6.3 \times 10^{-11}}{3}\) = 2.1 x 10\(^{-6}\)
∴ Area = 2∝ = 2 x 2.1x10\(^{-6}\)
= 4.2 x 10\(^{-6}\)K\(^{-1}\)

Acids, Bases, pH & Salts
Solution
The salt formed from strong acid and a strong base is?
A
complex
B
neutral
C
basic
D
acidic
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
Sodium chloride, which is obtained by neutralization of hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide, is a neutral salt.
A neutral salt is formed when a strong acid reacts with a strong base. This is because the strong acid is completely neutralized by the strong base.
When a strong acid and a strong base are combined in the right amounts, the result is a neutral solution with a pH of 7.
The acid and base have neutralized each other, and the acidic and basic properties are no longer present.
The salt formed from a strong acid and a strong base is neutral because the anion and cation are both weak.
They are stable in water and do not react with water to form the original acid or base.

Solution
Consider the reaction below: Vegetable oil \(\frac{H2;NI catalyst}{High temperature}\) product. The reaction is applied in the manufacture of?
A
drugs
B
margarine
C
paraffin wax
D
soapy detergents
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
This is called hydrogenation. It includes the manufacture of margarine from animal or vegetable fats and oils.
Ethene reacts with hydrogen in the presence of a finely divided nickel catalyst at a temperature of about 150^\circC. Ethane is produced.
