  • B
    $90.0g$ conc. $\ce{HNO_3}$
  • C
    $70.0g$ conc. $\ce{HNO_3}$
  • D
    $54.0g$ conc. $\ce{HNO_3}$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$45.0g$ conc. $\ce{HNO_3}$
$\because$ Molarity
$=\frac{\text{Weight of HNO}_3}{\text{Molecular mass of HNO}_3\times\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}$
$\therefore$ Weight of $\ce{HNO_3}$
$=$ Molarity $\times$ Molecular mass Volume $($in $L)$
$= 2 \times 63\times\frac{1}{4} = 31.5\text{g}$
It is the weight of $100\%\ \ce{HNO_3}$
But the given acid is $70\%\ \ce{HNO_3}$
$\therefore$ Its weight $= 31.5\times\frac{100}{70}\text{g} = 45\text{g}.$

Answer
Correct option: B.
$\ce{7.10 g}$
Moles of $\ce{{H}_2{SO}_4}$ taken $= 0.1$ moles
Moles of $\ce{NaOH}$ taken $= 0.1$ moles
As $\ce{{H}_2{SO}_4}$ and $\ce{NaOH}$ react in ratio $1 : 2,$ so $0.1$ moles of $\ce{{H}_2{SO}_4}$ reacts with $0.2$ mole of $\ce{NaOH}$ which we don’t have.
$0.1$ mole of $\ce{NaOH}$ reacts with $0.05$ mole of $\ce{{H}_2{SO}_4}$, so $\ce{NaOH}$ is limiting reactant. Product is calculated w.r.t limiting reactant so Number of moles of $\ce{{Na}_2{SO}_4}$ formed will also be equal to $0.05.$
Mass of $\ce{{Na}_2{SO}_4 = 0.05 \times 142 = 7.1 g}$

Which of the following is the best thing to do during heavy lighting?
  • A
    Lying on the ground in an open place.
  • B
    Going into the nearest water body.
  • Staying indoors away from metallic doors or windows.
  • D
    Standing under a tall tree.
Answer
Correct option: C.
Staying indoors away from metallic doors or windows.
During heavy lightning, the whole cloud fills up with electrical charges. A build up of positive charge builds up on the ground beneath the cloud, attracted to the negative charge in bottom of the cloud. The ground's positive charge concentrates around anything that sticks up $-$ trees, windows, metallic doors and a spark of lightning strikes. So, one should stay away from metallic doors or windows as they are also charged.
