Differential pulse polarography (DPP) is more sensitive than D.C. Polarography (DCP). Consider
following reasons for it
(A) non-faradic current is less in DPP in comparison to DCP
(B) non-faradic current is more in DPP in comparison to DCP
(c) polarogram of DPP is of different shape than that of DCP
Correct reason(s) is/are
(a) A and C
(b) B and C
(c) B only
(d) A only
Soln. The residual current in case of DCP is non-faradic current which should be minimum to get the
accurate result. This problem of non-faradic current is overcome by use of DPP in which non-faradic
current is less than DCP. That is why DPP is more sensitive than DCP.
Though the polarograph is different in both cases but it has nothing to do with sensitivity.
Correct option is (d)

Which of the following statement is INCORRECT?


(a) A Slater determinant is an antisymmetrized wavefunction
(b) Electronic wavefunction should be represented by Slater determinants
(c) A Slater determinant always corresponds to a particular spin state
(d) A Slater determinant obeys the Pauli exclusion principle
Soln. In quantum mechanics, a slater determinant is an expression that describe the wave function of a
multifermionic system that satisfies antisymmetry requirements and consequantly the Pauli principle by changing sign upon exchange of two electrons. Slater determinants is a means of ensuring
the antisymmetry of a wave function through the use of matrices. A Slater determinant always corresponds to a particular spin state is not true.
