This is a disproportionation reaction. The balanced equation in alkaline medium is:
$S_{8} + 12OH^{-} \rightarrow 4S^{2-} + 2S_{2}O_{3}^{2-} + 6H_{2}O$
Therefore, the value of the coefficient 'a' is $12$.
[cite: 13]\(\dfrac{\lambda_p}{\lambda_e} = \dfrac{m_e v_e}{m_p v_p} = \dfrac{m_e}{m_p \times 3} = 1.8 \times 10^{-4}\)
\(m_p = \dfrac{m_e}{3 \times 1.8 \times 10^{-4}} = \dfrac{9.1 \times 10^{-31}}{5.4 \times 10^{-4}} \approx 6.68 \times 10^{-27}\) kg
This is approximately 4 times the proton mass, matching the \(\alpha\)-particle (He nucleus, mass \(\approx 4\) u).
The interrelationship of HR functions suggests that:
HR functions are interconnected - staffing affects training needs; training affects performance; performance affects compensation; compensation affects retention; retention affects staffing. Effective HRM requires understanding and managing these interdependencies.
A car tyre is filled with nitrogen gas at 35 psi at 27°C. The tyre will burst if pressure exceeds 40 psi. At what temperature (in °C) will the tyre burst?
At constant volume: $\dfrac{P_1}{T_1} = \dfrac{P_2}{T_2}$ (Gay-Lussac's Law)
$P_1 = 35\ \text{psi},\ T_1 = 27 + 273 = 300\ \text{K}$
$P_2 = 40\ \text{psi}$
$T_2 = T_1 \times \dfrac{P_2}{P_1} = 300 \times \dfrac{40}{35} = 300 \times 1.1\overline{428} \approx 342.86\ \text{K}$
$T_2\ (°C) = 342.86 - 273 \approx \mathbf{72}°\text{C}$
Which statements regarding debenture interest are true?
- The interest rate is always higher than the dividend per share.
- Interest is recorded in the statement of changes in equity.
- Interest is paid before dividends are distributed to ordinary shareholders.
- Interest must be paid even if the company makes a loss.
Debenture interest is a charge against profit (expense), not an appropriation in the statement of changes in equity. It must be paid regardless of profit/loss and always before dividends. Statement 1 is not necessarily true.
Which of the following errors would be detected when a trial balance is extracted?
A trial balance checks whether total debits equal total credits. If different amounts are posted on the debit and credit sides of the same transaction, the totals will not agree and the error will be detected. The other errors — complete omissions, reversed entries, and misclassification between accounts — all maintain the arithmetic equality of debits and credits, so they go undetected by a trial balance.
