Question:medium

In the following reaction sequence, major products X and Y are acyclic monomers.
\(\text{CH}_3\text{I} \xrightarrow{\text{1. KCN}}{\text{2. H}_3\text{O}^+, \Delta}{\text{3. Red P, Br}_2}{\text{4. NH}_3\text{ (excess) \text{X} \)
\(\text{Caprolactam} \xrightarrow{\text{H}_3\text{O}^+, \Delta} \text{Y} \)
500 mol of X completely reacts with 500 mol of Y to give 1 mol of a single biodegradable acyclic copolymer Z as the only product. The amount of Z formed in grams is _______.
Given: Atomic mass (in amu): H : 1, C : 12, N : 14, O : 16, Br : 80}

Show Hint

In condensation polymerization, always subtract the mass of small molecules (usually water) eliminated during bond formation from the total mass of monomers.

A thin uniform rod of length L and certain mass is kept on a frictionless horizontal table with a massless string of length L fixed to one end (top view is shown in the figure). The other end of the string is pivoted to a point O. If a horizontal impulse P is imparted to the rod at a distance x = L/n from the mid-point of the rod (see figure), then the rod and string revolve together around the point O, with the rod remaining aligned with the string. In such a case, the value of n is _____.

Friction

For any two points $ M $ and $ N $ in the $ XY $-plane, let $ \overrightarrow{MN} $ denote the vector from $ M $ to $ N $, and $ \vec{0} $ denote the zero vector. Let $ P, Q $, and $ R $ be three distinct points in the $ XY $-plane. Let $ S $ be a point inside the triangle $ \Delta PQR $ such that $$ \overrightarrow{SP} + 5\overrightarrow{SQ} + 6\overrightarrow{SR} = \vec{0}. $$ Let $ E $ and $ F $ be the mid-points of the sides $ PR $ and $ QR $, respectively. Then the value of $$ \frac{\text{length of the line segment } EF}{\text{length of the line segment } ES} $$ is __________.

Let \(P\) be the point on the parabola \(y=x^2\) such that the slope of the tangent to the parabola at the point \(P\) is \(4\). Let \(Q\) be the point in the first quadrant lying on the circle \[ x^2+y^2=2 \] such that the slope of the tangent to the circle at the point \(Q\) is \(-1\). Let \(R\) be the point in the first quadrant lying on the ellipse \[ x^2+4y^2=8 \] such that the slope of the tangent to the ellipse at the point \(R\) is \(-\frac12\). Then the radius of the circle passing through the points \(P\), \(Q\) and \(R\) is:
