Paragraph:
\(\mathbf{X}\) and \(\mathbf{Y}\) are two volatile liquids with molar weights of \(10 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\) and \(40 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\) respectively. Two cotton plugs, one soaked in \(\mathbf{X}\) and the other soaked in \(\mathbf{Y}\), are simultaneously placed at the ends of a tube of length \(L=24 \mathrm{~cm}\), as shown in the figure. The tube is filled with an inert gas at \(1\) atmosphere pressure and a temperature of \(300 \mathrm{~K}\). Vapours of \(\mathbf{X}\) and \(\mathbf{Y}\) react to form a product which is first observed at a distance \(\mathbf{d} \mathrm{~cm}\) from the plug soaked in \(\mathbf{X}\). Take \(\mathbf{X}\) and \(\mathbf{Y}\) to have equal molecular diameters and assume ideal behaviour for the inert gas and the two vapours.

The concentration of potassium ions inside a biological cell is at least twenty times higher than the outside. The resulting potential difference across the cell is important in several processes such as transmission of nerve impulses and maintaining the ion balance.

The test-tube has a mass of \(5 \mathrm{gm}\), and it is made of a thick glass of density \(2.5 \mathrm{gm} / \mathrm{cc}\). Initially the bottle is sealed at atmospheric pressure \(p_{0}=10^{5} \mathrm{~Pa}\) so that the volume of the trapped air is \(v_{0}=3.3 \mathrm{cc}\). When the bottle is squeezed from outside at constant temperature, the pressure inside rises and the volume of the trapped air reduces. It is found that the test tube begins to sink at pressure \(p_{0}+\Delta p\) without changing its orientation. At this pressure, the volume of the trapped air is \(v_{0}-\Delta v\).
Let \(\Delta v=X\) cc and \(\Delta p=Y \times 10^{3} \mathrm{~Pa}\).
