1. A student measures the thickness of a wire using a screw gauge and finds it to be 0.321 ±
0.003 mm. If he winds it 100 times tightly around a pencil and measures the length to be
5.21 ± 0.01 cm, calculate the diameter of the wire with appropriate error analysis.
2. Derive the dimensional formula of the universal gravitational constant GGG, and use
dimensional analysis to verify the formula T=2πlgT = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}T=2πgl for the time
period of a simple pendulum.
3. Show that the expression mv22\frac{mv^2}{2}2mv2 has the same dimensional formula as
work done.
4. The velocity vvv of a particle moving in a circular path depends on radius rrr, mass mmm,
and time ttt. Use dimensional analysis to derive an expression for vvv.
5. A dimensionless quantity depends on length LLL, time TTT, and mass MMM. Can such a
quantity be constructed? Justify with an example.
Mastery-Level Questions:
1. 1.6 g of a compound of oxygen and boron occupies 1.0 L at 300 K and 1 atm. Calculate the
molecular formula of the compound (assume ideal gas behavior).
2. A 0.5 g sample of a compound contains 0.2 g of carbon, 0.033 g of hydrogen, and 0.267 g of
oxygen. Determine the empirical and molecular formula (molar mass = 60 g/mol).
3. A mixture contains 56 g of nitrogen, 16 g of oxygen, and 2 g of hydrogen. Find the mole ratio
and hence the percentage composition by moles of each gas in the mixture.
4. What volume of 0.1 M HCl is required to completely react with 2.5 g of calcium carbonate?
5. A metal oxide contains 53.3% oxygen. Its molar mass is 187.5 g/mol. Determine the empirical
and molecular formula.
Mastery-Level Questions:
1. Let A={x∈N:x≤10}A = \{x \in \mathbb{N} : x \leq 10\}A={x∈N:x≤10}, B={x∈N:x is even}B = \{x
\in \mathbb{N} : x \text{ is even}\}B={x∈N:x is even}, and C={x∈N:5<x≤15}C = \{x \in
\mathbb{N} : 5 < x \leq 15\}C={x∈N:5<x≤15}. Find:
Q: If A={x:x2≤4}A = \{x : x^2 \leq 4\}A={x:x2≤4}, and B={x:−1<x<3}B = \{x : -1 < x < 3\}B={x:−1<x<3},
then A∩BA \cap BA∩B is:
(A) (−1,2)(-1,2)(−1,2)
(B) [−2,2)[-2,2)[−2,2)
(C) (−2,2](-2,2](−2,2]
(D) [−2,2][-2,2][−2,2]
Ans: (C)
→ A=[−2,2]A = [-2,2]A=[−2,2], B=(−1,3)B = (-1,3)B=(−1,3) ⇒ A∩B=(−1,2]A \cap B = (-1,2]A∩B=(−1,2]
