Copper is the most noble of the first row transition metals and occurs in small deposits in several countries. Ores of copper
include chalcanthite (CuSO4.5H2O), atacamite (Cu2Cl(OH)3), cuprite (Cu2O), copper glance (Cu2S) and malachite
(Cu2(OH)2CO3). However, 80% of the world copper production comes from the ore chalcopyrite (CuFeS2). The extraction of
copper from chalcopyrite involves partial roasting, removal of iron and self-reduction.

Paragraph for Question 17 to 18

The concentration of potassium ions inside a biological cell is atleast twenty times higher than the outside. The resulting
potential difference across the cell is important in several processes such as transmission of nerve impulses and maintaining
the ion balance. A simple model for such a concentration cell involving a metal M is

TC(B)
Electrical resistance of certain materials, known as superconductors,
changes abruptly from a nonzero value to zero as their temperature is TC(0)
lowered below a critical temperature TC (0). An interesting property of
superconductors is that their critical temperature becomes smaller than
TC (0) if they are placed in a magnetic field, i.e., the critical temperature
TC (B) is a function of the magnetic field strength B. The dependence of
TC (B) on B is shown in the figure.

these questions has four choices (A), (B), (C) and (D) out of which ONLY ONE is correct.

When liquid medicine of density  is to be put in the eye, it is done with the help of a dropper. As the bulb on the top of the
dropper is pressed, a drop forms at the opening of the dropper. We wish to estimate the size of the drop. We first assume that
the drop formed at the opening is spherical because that requires a minimum increase in its surface energy. To determine the
size, we calculate the net vertical force due to the surface tension T when the radius of the drop is R. When this force
becomes smaller than the weight of the drop, the drop gets detached from the dropper.
*50. If the radius of the opening of the dropper is r, the vertical force due to the surface tension on the drop of radius R (assuming
r << R) is

The key feature of Bohr’s theory of spectrum of hydrogen atom is the quantization of angular momentum when an electron is
revolving around a proton. We will extend this to a general rotational motion to find quantized rotational energy of a
diatomic molecule assuming it to be rigid. The rule to be applied is Bohr’s quantization condition.

SECTION  IV
(Matrix Type)
This section contains 2 questions. Each question has four statements (A, B, C and D) given in Column I and five
statements (p, q, r, s and t) in Column II. Any given statement in Column I can have correct matching with one or more
statement(s) given in Column II. For example, if for a given question, statement B matches with the statements given in q
and r, then for that particular question, against statement B, darken the bubbles corresponding to q and r in the ORS.
56. Two transparent media of refractive indices 1 and 3 have a solid lens shaped transparent material of refractive index 2
between them as shown in figure in Column II. A ray traversing these media is also shown in the figures. In Column I
different relationships between 1, 2 and 3 are given. Match them to the ray diagrams shown in Column II.
