Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
The best method for the separation of naphthalene and benzoic acid from their mixture is sublimation because it is applicable for those
organic compounds which pass directly from solid to vapour state on heating and vice versa on cooling. In these compounds naphthalene is volatile and benzoic acid is non-volatile due to the formation of dimer via hydrogen bonding (intermolecular).
organic compounds which pass directly from solid to vapour state on heating and vice versa on cooling. In these compounds naphthalene is volatile and benzoic acid is non-volatile due to the formation of dimer via hydrogen bonding (intermolecular).

- Given below are two statements:
Statement I: Fig fruit is a non-vegetarian fruit as it has enclosed fig wasps in it.
Statement II: Fig wasp and fig tree exhibit a mutual relationship as the fig wasp completes its life cycle in the fig fruit and the fig fruit gets pollinated by the fig wasp. - A wire of resistance \(R\) is cut into 8 equal pieces. From these pieces, two equivalent resistances are made by adding four of these together in parallel. Then these two are added in series. The net effective resistance of the combination is:

- An oxygen cylinder of volume 30 litre has 18.20 moles of oxygen. After some oxygen is withdrawn from the cylinder, its gauge pressure drops to 11 atmospheric pressure at temperature \(27^\circ\)C. The mass of the oxygen withdrawn from the cylinder is nearly equal to: [Given, \(R = \frac{100}{12} \text{ J mol}^{-1} \text{K}^{-1}\), and molecular mass of \(O_2 = 32 \text{ g/mol}\), 1 atm pressure = \(1.01 \times 10^5 \text{ N/m}^2\)]

Three identical heat conducting rods are connected in series as shown in the figure. The rods on the sides have thermal conductivity 2K while that in the middle has thermal conductivity K. The left end of the combination is maintained at temperature 3T and the right end at T. The rods are thermally insulated from outside. In steady state, temperature at the left junction is \(T_1\) and that at the right junction is \(T_2\). The ratio \(T_1 / T_2\) is
