Solutions:

Q.33
Ans: D
A solution contains 50 g of common salt in 340 g of water. Calculate the
mass of the solution.

Mass of solute (salt) = 50 g

Mass of solvent (water) = 340 g
Mass of solution = Mass of solute + Mass of solvent
= 50 g + 340 g
= 390 g

Q.39
Ans: B
The relative molecular mass of water (H2O) is
Atomic mass of hydrogen = 1u,
Atomic mass of oxygen = 16 u
So, the molecular mass of water, which contains two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of
oxygen is
= 2 x 1+ 1 x 16
= 18 u

Q.40
Ans: D
What is the formula unit mass of CaCl2?
Atomic mass of Ca + (2 x atomic mass of Cl)

Q.73
Ans:
𝒎
At train starts from rest at an acceleration of 𝟐 . The distance covered by
𝒔𝟐

the train in 10 seconds is

Solution
Initial velocity u=0, as the train starts from rest
𝑚
Uniform acceleration = 2
𝑠2

Time of travel t=20s

Distance d=?
Equation of motion
1
𝑑 = 𝑢 𝑡 + 𝑎 𝑡2
2
On substituting the values we get
1
𝑑 = 0𝑥 10 + 2 𝑥 102
2
1
𝑑 = 0𝑥 10 + 2 𝑥 102
2
𝑑 = 0 + 1 𝑥 100

𝒅 = 𝟏𝟎𝟎 𝒎

Q.94
Ans: D
A current of 2 A is drawn by a filament of an electric bulb for 10 minutes.
Find the amount of electric charge that flows through the circuit.
We are given, I = 2 A; t = 10 min = 600 s.

Q = It
= 2 A × 600 s
= 1200 C

Q.96 A truck falls off a cliff and drops to the ground in 0.5 s. What is its
speed on striking the ground?
Ans: A
Time, t = ½ second
Initial velocity, u = 0 m s–1
Acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m s–2
Acceleration of the car, a = + 9.8 m s–2 (downward)
Speed formula
v=at
On substituting the values we get,
v = 9.8 m s–2 × 0.5 s
= 4.9 m s–1
