Tin is obtained from cassiterite by reduction with coke. Use the data given below to determine the minimum temperature (in K) at which the reduction of cassiterite by coke would take place.

At $$298K:{\Delta _f}H^\circ [Sn{O_2}(s)] = - 581.0$$ mol^-1,

$$\eqalign{ & {\Delta _f}H^\circ [(C{O_2})(g)] = - 394.0\,kJ\,mol{ ^{-1}} \cr & S^\circ [Sn{O_2}(s)] = 56.0J\,{K^{ - 1}}mo{l^{ - 1}} \cr & S^\circ [Sn(s)] = 52.0\,J\,K{ ^{-1}}mo{l^{ - 1}} \cr & S^\circ [C(s)] = 6.0\,J\,{K^{ - 1}}mo{l^{ - 1}} \cr & S^\circ [C{O_2}(g)] = 210.0\,J\,{K^{ - 1}}mo{l^{ - 1}} \cr} $$

Assume that, the enthalpies and the entropies are temperature independent.

An acidified solution of 0.05 M Zn²⁺ is saturated with 0.1 M H₂S. What is the minimum molar concentration (M) of H⁺ required to prevent the precipitation of ZnS?

Use K_sp(ZnS) = 1.25 $$ \times $$ 10^$$-$$22 and overall dissociation constant of

H₂S, K_net = K₁K₂ = 1 $$ \times $$ 10^-21.

For a complex number z, let Re(z) denote that real part of z. Let S be the set of all complex numbers z satisfying $${z^4} - |z{|^4} = 4i{z^2}$$, where i = $$\sqrt { - 1} $$. Then the minimum possible value of |z₁ $$-$$ z₂|², where z₁, z₂$$ \in $$S with Re(z₁) > 0 and Re(z₂) < 0 is .........

The probability that a missile hits a target successfully is 0.75. In order to destroy the target completely, at least three successful hits are required. Then the minimum number of missiles that have to be fired so that the probability of completely destroying the target is NOT less than 0.95, is ............
