Chemistry doubt
Each tablet contains the same number of moles of CaCO3 and MgCO3. One tablet
reacted with excess hydrochloric acid to produce 0.24 dm3 of carbon dioxide at r.t.p.
CaCO3 + 2HCl → CaCl2 + CO2 + H2O
MgCO3 + 2HCl → MgCl2 + CO2 + H2O
(i) Calculate how many moles of CaCO3 there are in one tablet.
number of moles CO2 = ..............
number of moles of CaCO3 and MgCO3 = ..............
number of moles of CaCO3 = ..............

(ii) Calculate the volume of hydrochloric acid, 1.0 mol /dm3, needed to react with one
tablet.
number of moles of CaCO3 and MgCO3 in one tablet = ..............
Use your answer to (c)(i).
number of moles of HCl needed to react with one tablet = ..............
volume of hydrochloric acid, 1.0 mol /dm3, needed to
react with one tablet


(i) 1 mole of any gas = 24 dm^3.
number of moles CO2 = 0.24/24 = 0.01 mol.
number of moles of CaCO3 and MgCO3 = (see the mole ratio in the equation. As the ratio of CO2 : CaCO3 is 1:1, the answer is 0.01 mol) 0.01 mol.
number of moles of CaCO3 = 0.01 mol.

(ii) number of moles of CaCO3 and MgCO3 in one tablet: 0.01 mol.
number of moles of HCl needed to react with one tablet: (see the mole ration in the equation. As the ratio of HCL : CaCO3 is 2:1, the answer is 0.02 mol) 0.02 mol.
volume of hydrochloric acid, 1.0 mol /dm3, needed to react with one tablet: Volume = no. of moles/ concentration i.e., 0.02/1 = 0.02 dm^3.

0.5*0.3 = 0.15A.
Total resistance = 2X.
T.R = 10.1 + X.
2X = 10.1 + X.
X = 10.1 ohms.

Physics Doubt
A radioactive substance has a half-life of 2 weeks. At the beginning of an investigation the
substance emits 3000 β-particles per minute.
How many β-particles will it emit per minute after 6 weeks?
A 0 B 375 C 500 D 1500


Half-life is the time taken for the activity of a sample of any radio-active isotope to decrease to half its original value.
As the half-life of this substance is two weeks, the count rate will be reduced to half the previous value every two weeks.

After 2 weeks, the count rate would be: 3000/2 = 1500 counts/minute.
After 4 weeks, the count rate would be: 1500/2 = 750 counts/minute.
After 6 weeks, the count rate would be: 750/2 = 375 counts/minute.

Thus, the answer is B.

Physics Doubt

The air in the syringe is at a pressure of 2.0 × 105Pa. The piston is slowly moved into the
syringe, keeping the temperature constant, until the volume of the air is reduced from
80 cm3 to 25 cm3. Calculate the final pressure of the air.


pressure=


P1*V1 = P2*V2

2*10^5 * 80 = x * 25
x = 2 * 10^5 * 80/25
x=6.4*10^5.
pressure= 6.4*10^5.

For Physics, solve as many past papers as you can. MCQs often come repeated so try to get 37-40 in P1. Try to solve at least 10 years of past papers and clear all your doubts. You will easily get an A*.
It's hard to find a good tutor in Jubail. I think Al-Hussan is the best school there. Try contacting their Physics teacher.
However, you will find many good tutors in Dammam, if you can easily go there.
