Calculate the wavelength (in nanometer) associated with a proton moving at $1.0 \times 10^3 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}$ (Mass of proton $=1.67 \times 10^{-27} \mathrm{~kg}$ and $\mathrm{h}=6.63 \times 10^{-34} \mathrm{Js}$ ):
Given : $\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{Fe}^{3+} / \mathrm{Fe}}^{\circ}=-0.036 \mathrm{~V}, \quad \mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{Fe}^{2+} / \mathrm{Fe}}^{\circ}=-0.439 \mathrm{~V}$. The value of standard electrode potential for the change, $\mathrm{Fe}_{(\text {aq })}^{3+}+\mathrm{e}^{-} \rightarrow \mathrm{Fe}^{2+}(\mathrm{aq})$ will be :
In a fuel cell methanol is used as fuel and oxygen gas is used as an oxidizer. The reaction is $\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{OH}(\ell)+\frac{3}{2} \mathrm{O}_2(\mathrm{~g}) \rightarrow \mathrm{CO}_2(\mathrm{~g})+2 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}(\ell)$ At $298 \mathrm{~K}$ standard Gibb's energies of formation for $\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{OH}(\ell), \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}(\ell)$ and $\mathrm{CO}_2(\mathrm{~g})$ are $-166.2,-237.2$ and $-394.4 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$ respectively. If standard enthalpy of combustion of methanol is $-726 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$, efficiency of the fuel cell will be
In an atom, an electron is moving with a speed of $600 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ with an accuracy of $0.005 \%$.

The half life period of a first order chemical reaction is $6.93$ minutes. The time required for the completion of $99 \%$ of the chemical reaction will be $(\log 2=0.301)$ :
Two liquids $X$ and $Y$ form an ideal solution. At $300 \mathrm{~K}$, vapour pressure of the solution containing 1 mol of $X$ and $3 \mathrm{~mol}$ of $Y$ is $550 \mathrm{~mm} \mathrm{Hg}$. At the same temperature, if $1 \mathrm{~mol}$ of $Y$ is further added to this solution, vapour pressure of the solution increases by $10 \mathrm{~mm} \mathrm{Hg}$. Vapour pressure (in $\mathrm{mmHg}$ ) of $X$ and $Y$ in their pure states will be, respectively :
