x g sample of NH_(4)NO_(3) is decomposed in a Bomb calorimeter. The temperature of calorimeter increase by 4^(@)C . The heat capacity of the system is 1.25 " kJ"//.^(@)C . Calculate the value of x. Given molar heat of decomposition of NH_(4)NO_(3) at constant volume is 400 kJ " mol"^(-1) .

An iron smaple having mass 8.4 kg is repeatedly taken over cycles of magnetisation and demagnetisation at a frequency of 50Hz. It is found that energy of 3.2 J is dissipated as heat in the sample in 30 minutes. If the denstiy of iron is 7200 kg m^-3 , calculate the value of energy dissipated per unit volume per cycle in the iron sample.

The existence of negatively charged particle in an atom was shown by J.J. Thomson as a result of the studies of the passage of electricity through gases at extremely low pressure known as discharge tube experiments. When a high voltage of the order of 10,000 volts or more was impressed across the electrodes, some sort of invisible rays moved from the negative electrode to the positive electrode these rays are called as cathode rays. Cathode rays travel in straight path in absence of electrical and magnetic field . Cathode rays consist of material part and charged particles? Cathode rays produce X-rays and light is emitted when they strike on ZnS screen. Cathode rays penetrate through thin sheets of aluminium and other metals . They affect the photogenic plate and passes heating effect when they strike on metal foil. The raito of charge to mass i.e charge/mass is same for all the cathode rays irrespective of the gas used in the tube. The existence of positively charged particle in an atom was shown be E. Goldstein. He repeated the same discharge tube experiments by using a perforated cathode. It was observed that when a high potential difference was applied between the electrodes, not only cathode rays were produced but also a new type of rays were produced simultaneoulsy from anode moving towards cathode and passes through the holes or canal of the cathode. These termed as canal rays or anode rays. These rays travel in straight lines and consists of positively charged particles. These rays have kinetic energy and produces heating effect also. The e/m ratio of these rays is smaller than that of electrons. Unlike cathode rays, their e/m value is dependent upon the nature of the gas taken in the tube. These rays produced flashes of light on ZnS screen and can pass throughs thin metal foils. They can produce physical and chemical changes and are capable to produce ionisation in gases. For cathode rays the value of e/m:

A mercury lamp is a convenient source for studying frequency dependence of photoelectric emission, since, it gives a number of spectral lines ranging from the UV to the red end of the visible spectrum. In our experiment with rubidium photo-cell, the following lines from a mercury source were used: lambda_1 = 3650 oversetcircA , lambda_2=4047 oversetcircA , lambda_3=4358 oversetcircA , lambda_4=5461 oversetcircA , lambda_5=6907 oversetcircA The stopping voltages respectively were measured to be V_0=1.28 V , V_0.95V , V_0=0.74V , V_0=0.16 , V_0=0V Determine the value of Planck's constant h.

Gasoline has an enthalpy of combustion 24000 kJ/mol gallon. When gasoline burns in an automobile engine, approximately 30% of the energy released is used to produce mechanical work. The remainder is lost as heat transfer to the engine's cooling system. As a start on estimating how much heat transfer is required, calculate what mass of water could be heated from 25^(@)C to 75^(@)C by the combustion of 1.0 gallon of gasoline in an automobile? (Given : C(H_(2)O)=4.18 J//g^(@)C ) a) 34.45 kg b) 80.383 kg c) 22 kg d) 224 kg
