\(\dfrac{6}{11} \times x = 2 \times 22 = 44\) (since \(\dfrac{6}{11}\) is double \(\dfrac{3}{11}\))
A graduating class has 236 students. Among them, 142 enrolled in algebra and 121 enrolled in chemistry. What is the greatest possible number of students who could have taken both algebra and chemistry?
We want the maximum overlap between algebra students (142) and chemistry students (121).
The overlap is maximized when every chemistry student also took algebra (since 121 < 142, this is possible).
Maximum overlap $= \min(142, 121) = \mathbf{121}$.
Check: if 121 students took both, then students taking at least one subject $= 142 + 121 - 121 = 142 \leq 236$. â
So the greatest possible number is $121$.
A solution of 62 g of ethylene glycol in 250 g of water is cooled to $-10°$C. If $K_f(\text{water}) = 1.86\ \text{K kg mol}^{-1}$, what mass of water (in g) separates out as ice?
Molar mass of ethylene glycol (C$_2$H$_6$O$_2$) $= 62\ \text{g mol}^{-1}$
Moles of glycol $= \dfrac{62}{62} = 1\ \text{mol}$
Let $w$ g of water freeze. Remaining water = $(250 - w)\ \text{g}$.
At $-10°$C: $\Delta T_f = 10$
$m = \dfrac{1}{(250-w)/1000} = \dfrac{1000}{250-w}$
$10 = 1.86 \times \dfrac{1000}{250-w}$
$250 - w = \dfrac{1860}{10} = 186$
$w = 250 - 186 = \mathbf{64\ \text{g}}$
Wait â that gives 64 g (option C, index 2). Let me recheck: $250-w=186$, $w=64$. Official answer is 48 g. Using $w=48$: $250-48=202$, molality $=1000/202=4.95$, $\Delta T_f=1.86\times4.95=9.2\neq10$. The correct answer is indeed 64 g (index 2).
A particle is projected vertically upward with $u = 10\text{ m/s}$. Air exerts a resistive force $F = -0.2v^2$ on it ($m = 2\text{ kg}$, $g = 10\text{ m/s}^2$). The maximum height attained is:
Net force (taking up as positive): $F_{net} = -mg - 0.2v^2 = -20 - 0.2v^2$
Using $ma = v\dfrac{dv}{dx}$: $2v\dfrac{dv}{dx} = -20 - 0.2v^2$
Separating variables: $\dfrac{v\,dv}{20+0.2v^2} = -\dfrac{dx}{2}$
Integrating from $v = 10$ to $v = 0$: let $k = 20 + 0.2v^2$, $dk = 0.4v\,dv$
$\dfrac{1}{0.4}\big[\ln(20) - \ln(40)\big] = -\dfrac{H}{2} \Rightarrow H = \dfrac{2\ln 2}{0.4} = \mathbf{5\ln 2}$
