Hardened steel on heating in the range of \(220^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) to \(330^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) and on slow cooling gives (a) hard steel (b) brittle steel (c) hard and brittle steel (d) hard and tough steel

Short Answer

Expert verified
Answer: (d) Hard and tough steel

Step by step solution

01

Understand the given exercise

The first step is to understand what the exercise is asking. We are given a range of temperatures in which hardened steel is heated and then cooled slowly. We are asked to identify the properties of the steel obtained after this process.
02

Recall the heat treatment processes

Heating hardened steel in the given temperature range and then slow cooling is a type of heat treatment called "tempering." This process is carried out to obtain a balance between the hardness and toughness of the steel.
03

Identify the type of steel obtained

From step 2, we know that tempering is carried out to balance both hardness and toughness. Based on the options provided, the type of steel obtaining by heating hardened steel in the given temperature range and slow cooling is (d) hard and tough steel.

An organic compound contains \(40 \%\) carbon and \(6.67 \%\) hydrogen by mass. Which of the following represents the empirical formula of the compound? (a) \(\mathrm{CH}_{2}\) (b) \(\mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{O}\) (c) \(\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{4} \mathrm{O}\) (d) \(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{O}\)

A volume of \(10 \mathrm{ml}\) of an oxide of nitrogen was taken in a eudiometer tube and mixed with hydrogen until the volume was \(28 \mathrm{ml} .\) On sparking, the resulting mixture occupied \(18 \mathrm{ml}\). To this mixture, oxygen was added when the volume came to \(27 \mathrm{ml}\) and on explosion again, the volume fall to \(15 \mathrm{ml}\). Find the molecular weight of the oxide of nitrogen originally taken in eudiometer tube. All measurements were made at STP.

The explosion of a mixture consisting of one volume of a gas being studied and one volume of \(\mathrm{H}_{2}\) yielded one volume water vapour and one volume of \(\mathrm{N}_{2}\). The formula of gas being studied, is (a) NO (b) \(\mathrm{NO}_{2}\) (c) \(\mathrm{N}_{2} \mathrm{O}\) (d) \(\mathrm{N}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}\)

One mole of a mixture of \(\mathrm{CO}\) and \(\mathrm{CO}_{2}\) requires exactly \(20 \mathrm{~g}\) of \(\mathrm{NaOH}\) in solution for complete conversion of all the \(\mathrm{CO}_{2}\) into \(\mathrm{Na}_{2} \mathrm{CO}_{3} .\) How many grams more of \(\mathrm{NaOH}\) would it require for conversion into \(\mathrm{Na}_{2} \mathrm{CO}_{3}\) if the mixture (one mole) is completely oxidized to \(\mathrm{CO}_{2} ?\) (a) \(60 \mathrm{~g}\) (b) \(80 \mathrm{~g}\) (c) \(40 \mathrm{~g}\) (d) \(20 \mathrm{~g}\)

At room temperature, the molar volume of hydrogen fluoride gas has a mass of about \(50 \mathrm{~g}\). The formula weight of hydrogen fluoride is 20 . Gaseous hydrogen fluoride at room temperature is therefore, probably a mixture of (a) \(\mathrm{H}_{2}\) and \(\mathrm{F}_{2}\) (b) \(\mathrm{HF}\) and \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{~F}_{2}\) (c) \(\mathrm{HF}\) and \(\mathrm{H}_{2, s} \mathrm{~F}_{2.5}\) (d) \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{~F}_{2}\) and \(\mathrm{H}_{3} \mathrm{~F}_{3}\)
