Explain the solubility rule “like dissolves like”

Question: Explain the solubility rule like dissolves like in terms of intermolecular forces that exist in solutions. Solution: Like dissolves like means that a solute dissolves in a solvent if their intermolecular interactions are similar. That is if polar solutes can dissolve in polar solvents and non-polar solutes can dissolve in non-polar solvents....

Explain why on the addition of 1 mol of NaCl

Question: Explain why on the addition of 1 mol of NaCl to 1 litre of water, the boiling point of water increases, while the addition of 1 mol of methyl alcohol to one litre of water decreases its boiling point. Solution: On addition of 1 mol of NaCl to 1 litre of water, the boiling point of water increases, while the addition of 1 mol of methyl alcohol to one litre of water decreases its boiling point because if a non-volatile solute like NaCl is added this happens. Methyl alcohol is volatile th...

Let A be the set of all triangles in a plane. Show that the relation

Question: Let $A$ be the set of all triangles in a plane. Show that the relation $\mathrm{R}=\left\{\left(\Delta_{1}, \Delta_{2}\right): \Delta_{1} \sim \Delta_{2}\right\}$ is an equivalence relation on $\mathrm{A} .$ Solution: Let $R=\left\{\left(\Delta_{1}, \Delta_{2}\right): \Delta_{1} \sim \Delta_{2}\right\}$ be a relation defined on $A$.

Components of a binary mixture of two liquids A and B

Question: Components of a binary mixture of two liquids A and B were being separated by distillation. After some time separation of components stopped and the composition of the vapour phase became the same as that of a liquid phase. Both the components started coming in the distillate. Explain why this happened. Solution: Both the components started coming in the distillate and the vapour and liquid phase will have the same composition. This shows an azeotropic mixture. Therefore it cant be sep...

Define a relation on a set. What do you mean by the domain and range of a relation?

Question: Define a relation on a set. What do you mean by the domain and range of a relation? Give an example. Solution: Relation: Let $A$ and $B$ be two sets. Then a relation $R$ from set $A$ to set $B$ is a subset of $A \times B$. Thus, $R$ is a relation to $A$ to $B \Leftrightarrow R \subseteq A \times B$. If $R$ is a relation from a non-void set $B$ and if $(a, b) \in R$, then we write $a$ R b which is read as ' $a$ is related to $b$ by the relation $R^{\prime}$. if $(a, b) \notin R$, then w...
