Passing \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{~S}\) gas into a mixture of \(\mathrm{Mn}^{2+}, \mathrm{Ni}^{2+}, \mathrm{Cu}^{2+}\) and \(\mathrm{Hg}^{2+}\) ions in an acidified aqueous solution precipitates
- A \(\mathrm{CuS}\) and \(\mathrm{HgS}\)
- B \(\mathrm{MnS}\) and \(\mathrm{CuS}\)
- C \(\mathrm{MnS}\) and \(\mathrm{NiS}\)
- D \(\mathrm{NiS}\) and \(\mathrm{HgS}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(\mathrm{CuS}\) and \(\mathrm{HgS}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
In acidic medium, \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{~S}\) is very feebly ionized giving very small concentration of sulphide ion for precipitation. Therefore, the most insoluble salts \(\mathrm{CuS}\) and \(\mathrm{HgS}\) are precipitated only.

- Paragraph:
The noble gases have closed-shell electronic configuration and are monoatomic gases under normal conditions. The low boiling points of the lighter noble gases are due to weak dispersion forces between the atoms and the absence of other interatomic interactions.
The direct reaction of xenon with fluorine leads to a series of compounds with oxidation numbers \(+2,+4\) and \(+6 . \mathrm{XeF}_4\) reacts violently with water to give \(\mathrm{XeO}_3\). The compounds of xenon exhibit rich stereochemistry and their geometries can be deduced considering the total number of electron pairs in the valence shell.

- Paragraph:
Scientists are working hard to develop nuclear fusion reactor. Nuclei of heavy hydrogen, \({ }_1^2 \mathrm{H}\) known as deuteron and denoted by \(D\) can be thought of as a candidate for fusion reactor. The \(D\) - \(D\) reaction is \({ }_1^2 \mathrm{H}+{ }_1^2 \mathrm{H} \rightarrow{ }_2^3 \mathrm{He}+n+\) energy. In the core of fusion reactor. A gas of heavy hydrogen is fully ionized into deuteron nuclei and electrons. This collection of \({ }_1^4 \mathrm{H}\) nuclei and electrons is known as plasma. The nuclei move randomly in the reactor core and occasionally come close enough for nuclear fusion to take place. Usually, the temperatures in the reactor core are too high and no material wall can be used to confine the plasma. Special techniques are used which confine the plasma for a time \(t_0\) before the particles fly away from the core. If n is the density (number/volume) of deutrons, the product t \(_0\) is called Lawson number. In one of the criteria, \(a\) reactor is termed successful if Lawson number is greater than \(5 \times 10^{14} \mathrm{scm}^{-3}\).
It may be helpful to use the following : Boltzmann constant \(k=8.6 \times 10^{-5} \mathrm{eV} / \mathrm{K}\); \(\frac{e^2}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0}=1.44 \times 10^{-9} \mathrm{eVm}\)

- Paragraph :
A uniform thin cylindrical disk of mass \(M\) and radius \(R\) is attached to two identical massless springs of spring constant \(k\) which are fixed to the wall as shown in the figure. The springs are attached to the axle of the disk symmetrically on either side at a distance \(d\) from its centre. The axle is massless and both the springs and the axle are in a horizontal plane. The unstretched length of each spring is \(L\). The disk is initially at its equilibrium position with its centre of mass \((C M)\) at a distance Lfrom the wall. The disk rolls without slipping with velocity \(\mathbf{v}_0=v_0 \hat{\mathbf{i}}\) The coefficient of friction is \(\mu\).
