The projection of the vector \(5 \hat{i}+\hat{j}-3 \hat{k}\) on the vector \(\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}-3 \hat{k}\) is
- A \(\frac{16}{\sqrt{14}}\)
- B \(\frac{8}{7}\)
- C \(\frac{15}{13}\)
- D \(\frac{16}{\sqrt{35}}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(\frac{16}{\sqrt{14}}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\vec{a} = 5 \hat{i}+\hat{j}-3 \hat{k}\), \(\vec{b} = \hat{i}+2 \hat{j}-3 \hat{k}\) \(\text{Projection} = \frac{\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}}{|\vec{b}|}\) \(\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} = (5)(1) + (1)(2) + (-3)(-3) = 5 + 2 + 9 = 16\)…

Sodium dichromate \(Na _2 Cr _2 O _7\) and Potassium dichromate \(K _2 Cr _2 O _7\) are strong oxidizing agents; in acidic solution, its oxidising action can be represented as follows :
\(Cr _2 O _7^{2-}+14 H ^{+}+6 e^{-} \rightarrow 2 Cr ^{3+}+7 H _2 O \left( E ^{\circ}=1.33 V\right)\)
The chromates and dichromates are interconvertible in aqueous solution depending upon pH of the solution.
The chromate ion is tetrahedral whereas the dichromate ion consists of two tetrahedra sharing one corner with \(Cr - O - Cr\) bond angle of \(126^{\circ}\)
Potassium permanganate is prepared by fusion of \(MnO _2\) with an alkali metal hydroxide and an oxidising agent like \(KNO _3\).
This produces the dark green \(K _2 MnO _4\) which disproportionates in a neutral or acidic solution to give permanganate. It is a strong oxidizing agent. Hydrogen ion concentration of the solution plays
an important part in the reduction of permanganate to manganate, manganese dioxide and manganese(II) salt.
Potassium permanganate forms dark purple (almost black) crystals which are isostructural with those of \(KClO _4\).
The salt is not very soluble in water \((6.4 g / 100 g\) of water at 293 K ), but when heated it decomposes at 513 K.
