A 10 kW drilling machine is used to drill a bore in a small aluminium block of mass 8.0 kg. How much is the rise in temperature of the block in 2.5 minutes, assuming 50% of power is used up in heating the machine itself or lost to the surroundings. Specific heat of aluminium = 0.91 J g^-1 ^@C^-1

A hydrogenation reaction is carried out at 500 K . If the same reaction is carried out in the presence of a catalyst at the same rate, the temperature required is 400 K . Calculate the activation energy of the reaction if the catalyst lowers the activation barrier by 20 kJ mol^(-1) . a) 100 kJ/mol b) 80 kJ/mol c) 60 kJ/mol d) none of these

In general it is observed that the rate of a chemical reaction becomes double for every 10^@ rise in temperature. If this generalisation holds for a reaction in the temperature range 2908 K to 398 K, what would be the value of activation energy for the reaction. (R=8.314 J K^(-1)mol^(-1) )

18 g of glucose is dissolved in 1 kg of water. At what temperature will the solution boil ? ( K_b for water is 0.52 K kg "mol"^(-1) )

A child running a temperature of 101^@F is given an antipyrin (i.e. a medicine that lowers fever) which causes an increase in the rate of evaporation of sweat from his body. If the fever is brought down to 98^@F in 20 min., What is the average rate of extra evaporation caused by the drug ? Assume the evaporation mechanism to be the only way by which heat is lost. The mass of the child is 30 kg. The specifric heat of human body is approximately the same as that of water, and latent heat of evaporation of water at that temperature is aout 580 cal g^-1 .

Every gram of wheat provides 0.1 g of protien and 0.25 g of carbohydrates. The corresponding values for rice are 0.05 g and 0.5 g respectively. Wheat costs Rs 4 per kg and rice Rs 6 per kg. The minimum daily requirements of protien and carbohydrates for an average child are 50 g and 200 g respectively. In what quantities should wheat and rice be mixed in the daily diet so as to provide the maximum daily requirements of protien and carbohydrates at minimum cost? Frame a LPP and solve it graphically.

Surface tension is exhibited by liquids due to force of attraction between molecules of the liquid. The surface tension decreases with increase in temperature and vanishes at boiling point. Given that the latent heat of vaporation for water rho_(w) = 540kcal/kg ,mechanical equivalent heat =4.2j/cal Avogadro's No. N_A = 6.0 xx 10^26 , and the molecular weight of water M_A = 18 kg for 1 k mole. Estimate the energy required for oe molecule of water to evaporate.
