(iii) Calculate the solubility of AgCl in water at 25^oC
Given : The standard reduction potential of the Ag⁺ (aq) / Ag (s) couple is 0.80 V at 25^oC

The rate of a first order reaction is 0.04 mol litre^-1 s^-1 at 10 minutes and 0.03 mol litre^-1 s^-1 at 20 minutes after initiation. Find the half-life of the reaction.

The vapour pressure of the two miscible liquids (A) and (B) are 300 and 500 mm of Hg respectively. In a flask 10 moles of (A) is mixed with 12 moles of (B). However, as soon as (B) is added, (A) starts polymerizing into a completely insoluble solid. The polymerization follows first-order kinetics. After 100 minutes, 0.525 mole of a solute is dissolved which arrests the polymerization completely. The final vapour pressure of the solution is 400 mm of Hg. Estimate the rate of constant of the polymerization reaction. Assume negligible volume change on mixing and polymerization and ideal behaviour for the final solution.

Let $$a,\,b,\,c$$ be real numbers with $$a \ne 0$$ and let $$\alpha ,\,\beta $$ be the roots of the equation $$a{x^2} + bx + c = 0$$. Express the roots of $${a^3}{x^2} + abcx + {c^3} = 0$$ in terms of $$\alpha ,\,\beta \,$$.
