Eg:
Samacheer Kalvi 10th Science Guide Chapter 10 Types of Chemical Reactions 5

Question 2.
Explain the types of double displacement reactions with examples.
Answer:
There are two major classes of double displacement reactions. They are,
(i) Precipitation Reactions: When aqueous solutions of two compounds are mixed, if they react to form an insoluble compound and a soluble compound, then it is called precipitation reaction.
\(\mathrm{Pb}\left(\mathrm{NO}_{3}\right)_{2(\mathrm{aq})}+2 \mathrm{KI}_{(\mathrm{aq})} \rightarrow \mathrm{PbI}_{2(\mathrm{s})} \downarrow+2 \mathrm{KNO}_{3(\mathrm{aq})}\)

(ii) Neutralisation Reactions: Another type of displacement reaction in which the acid reacts with the base to form a salt and water. It is called ‘neutralisation reaction’ as both acid and base neutralize each other.
\(\mathrm{NaOH}_{(\mathrm{aq})}+\mathrm{HCl}_{(\mathrm{aq})} \rightarrow \mathrm{NaCl}_{(\mathrm{aq})}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{(\mathrm{l})}\).

Question 3.
Explain the factors influencing the rate of a reaction.
Answer:
Important factors that affect rate of a reaction are:

  1. Nature of the reactants
  2. Concentration of the reactants
  3. Temperature
  4. Catalyst
  5. Pressure
  6. Surface area of the reactants

1. Nature of the reactants : The reaction of sodium with hydrochloric acid is faster than that with acetic acid, because Hydrochloric acid is a stronger acid than acetic acid and thus more reactive. So, the nature of the reactants influence the reaction rate.
2Na(s) + 2HCl(aq) → 2NaCl(aq) + H2(g) (fast)
2Na(s) + 2CH3COOH(aq) → 2CH3COONa(aq) + H2(g) (slow)

2. Concentration of the reactants : Changing the amount of the reactants also increases the reaction rate. More the concentration, more particles per volume exist in it and hence faster the reaction. Granulated zinc reacts faster with 2M hydrochloric acid than 1M hydrochloric acid.

3. Temperature : Most of the reactions go faster at higher temperature. Because adding heat to the reactants provides energy to break more bonds and thus speed up the reaction. Calcium carbonate reacts slowly with hydrochloric acid at room temperature. When the reaction mixture is heated the reaction rate increases.

4. Pressure : If the reactants are gases, increasing their pressure increases the reaction rate. This is because, on increasing the pressure the reacting particles come closer and collide frequently.

5. Catalyst : A catalyst is a substance which increases the reaction rate without being consumed in the reaction. In certain reactions, adding a substance as catalyst speeds up the reaction. For example, on heating potassium chlorate, it decomposes into potassium chloride and oxygen gas, but at a slower rate. If manganese dioxide is added, it increases the reaction rate.

6. Surface area of the reactants : Powdered calcium carbonate reacts more readily with hydrochloric acid than marble chips. Because, powdering of the reactants increases the surface area and more energy is available on collision of the reactant particles. Thus, the reaction rate is increased.

Question 4.
How does pH play an important role in everyday life?
Answer:

  • The pH of blood is almost 7.4. Any increase or decrease in this value leads to diseases
  • Citrus fruits require slightly alkaline soil, while rice requires acidic soil and sugarcane requires neutral soil.
  • If the pH of rainwater becomes less than 7, it becomes acid rain which is harmful in day-to-day life.
  • pH changes cause tooth decay.
  • During indigestion, the stomach produces too much acid and this causes pain and irritation.

Question 5.
What is chemical equilibrium? What are its characteristics?
Answer:
Chemical equilibrium is a state of a reversible chemical reaction where the,
Rate of forward reaction = Rate of backward reaction.
No change in the amount of the reactants and products takes place.
Characteristics of equilibrium:

  1. In a chemical equilibrium, the rates of the forward and backward reactions are equal.
  2. The observable properties such as pressure, concentration, colour, density, viscosity etc., of the system remain unchanged with time.
  3. The chemical equilibrium is a dynamic equilibrium, because both the forward and backward reactions continue to occur even though it appears static externally.
  4. In physical equilibrium, the volume of all the phases remain constant.

  2. Zinc and dilute H2SO4 react much more quickly when a few drops of copper sulphate solutions are added.
  3. The reaction between magnesium carbonate and dilute hydrochloric acid speeds up when some concentrated HCl is added.

Answer:

  1. In fireworks, powdered magnesium is used because it has more surface area than magnesium ribbon. Because of more surface area, powdered magnesium reacts faster than magnesium ribbon.
  2. Zinc and dilute H2SO4 react much more quickly when a few drops of copper sulphate solution is added. Copper sulphate acts as a catalyst which increases the rate of the reaction.
  3. When the concentration of the reactants increases, the rate of the reaction also increases. So the reaction between magnesium carbonate and dilute hydrochloric acid speeds up by the addition of some concentrated HCl.

VIII. Numericals:

Question 1.
The hydrogen ion concentration of a fruit juice is 3.3 × 10-2M. What is the pH of the juice? Is it acidic or basic?
Answer:
[H+] = 3.3 × 10-2 M
Formula:
pH = -log[H+]
pH = -log[3.3 × 10-2]
= -[log 3.3 + log 10-2]
= -[0.5185 – 2 log1010]
= -0.5185 + 2 log1010 [log1010 = 1]
= -0.5185 + 2
pH = 1.4815
Since pH is less than 7, the solution is acidic.

Question 2.
If a solution has a pH of 7.41, determine its H+ concentration.
Answer:
pH = 7.41
Formula:
[H+] = antilog[-pH]
= antilog[-7.41] = 10-7.41
= 3.89 × 10-8M

Samacheer Kalvi 10th Science Guide Chapter 10 Types of Chemical Reactions

Question 3.
The pH of a solution is 5.5 at 25°C. Calculate its [OH].
Answer:
pH = 5.5
Since pH + pOH = 14
pOH = 14 – pH
= 14 – 5.5 = 8.5
[OH] = 10-pOH
= 10-8.5
= 3.16 × 10-9M
(OR)
[OH] = antilog[-8.5]
= 3.16 × 10-9M
[OH] = 3.16 × 10-9M

Question 4.
Calculate the pH of 0.001 M HCl solution.
Answer:
Since HCl is a strong acid, it dissociates
HCl → H+ + Cl
[H+] = [HCl] = 0.001 M
[H+] = 1 × 10-3M
pH = -log[H+]
= -log[1 × 10-3]
pH = 3

Question 5.
The hydrogen ion concentration of a solution is 1 × 10-8M.
(i) What is the pH of the solution?
Answer:
pH = -log[1 × 10-8]
pH = 8

(ii) What is the pOH of the solution?
Answer:
pOH = 14 – 8
= 6

(iii) Is the given solution acidic or basic?
Answer:
Acidic

Question 6.
Calculate the pH of 0.02 M Ba(OH)2, Ba(OH)2 solution is a strong electrolyte.
Answer:
[Ba(OH)2] = 0.02 M
Ba(OH)2 → Ba2+ + 2OH
[OH] = 2[Ba(OH)2]
= 2 × 0.02 = 0.04 M
pOH = – log[0.04]
= -log[4 × 10-2]
= -[log 4 + log 10-2]
= -[0.6020 – 2 log 10]
pOH = -0.6020 + 2 × 1
= 1.398
pH = 14 – 1.398
= 12.602

Question 2.
Write about any two multipurpose projects of India.
Answer:
A comprehensive river valley project which serves a number of purposes simultaneously is called a “Multi purposes project”.

1. The Bhakra Nangal Project: India’s biggest multipurpose river valley project is ‘Bhakra Nangal Project’. It has been built at a strategic point where two hills on either side of the Sutlej are very close to each other. It is the highest gravity dam in the world. Its length is 226 metres from the river bed. The canals taken out are 1100 kilometres long. The ‘Nangal Power Plant’ on the Sutlej produces electricity, and serves the states of Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan and New Delhi. The distributaries are 8400 km in length. It irrigates an area of 1.4 million hectares.

2. Indira Gandhi Project: This project is an ambitious scheme to bring new areas under irrigation so that more areas could be cultivated. The waters of the River Beas and the Ravi are diverted to the River Sutlej. The ‘Pong’ Dam on the River Beas has been constructed to divert the Beas water into the Sutlej in a regulated manner. So that ‘Rajasthan canal’, the longest irrigation canal in the world can irrigate Gandhi Nagar, Bikaner and Jaisalmer districts of North West Rajasthan, (i.e) a part of Thar desert. The main canal now called ‘Indira Gandhi Canal’ is 468 km long runs entirely in Rajasthan, Western of Sutlej, Beas and Ravi are now being fully utilised for irrigating thirsty lands of South Western parts of our country.

  4. Plantation fanning.
  5. Single crop raised on a large area testates).
  6. Crops are grown mainly for export purpose,
  7. The plantations are mostly owned by companies.

Question 4.
Examine the geographical conditions favourable for the cultivation of rice and wheat.
Answer:
Rice:
Rice is an indigenous crop. India is the second-largest producer of rice in the world. It is a tropical crop which is grown well in alluvial plains and river deltas. It requires a mean monthly temperature of 24°C and an average rainfall of 150 cm and deep fertile alluvial soil for its growth. It also needs an abundant supply of cheap labour. In areas of less rainfall particularly in Punjab and Haryana, it is grown with the help of irrigation.
Rice in India is sown in three ways:

  1. Broadcasting,
  2. Ploughing or drilling, and
  3. Transplanting.

Due to increased use of High Yielding Variety (HYV) seeds (CR Dhan 205, AR Dhan 306, CRR 451 etc.), many of the indigenous varieties were disappeared. In 2016, the first 10 leading rice-producing states are West Bengal (First in India) Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Assam, and Haryana.

Wheat:
Wheat is a temperate crop. Its cultivation is mainly confined to the northwestern part of India. India produces both winter wheat and spring wheat. It is the second most important food crop of the country, after rice.

It requires 10-15°C at the time of sowing and 20-25°C at the time of ripening of grains. Over 85% of India’s wheat production comes from 5 states namely Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh. Apart from these regions, the black soil tract of the Deccan covering parts of Maharashtra and Gujarat also contribute a major wheat production.

IX. HOTS Questions

Question 1.
Can you imagine a world without agriculture?
Answer:
Agriculture is the art and science of cultivating the soil, growing crops and raising livestock. It includes the preparation of plant and animal products for people to use and their distribution to markets.

Agriculture provides most of the world’s food and fabrics. Cotton, wool and leather are all agricultural products. It also provides wood for construction and paper products.

A world without agriculture would be very different compared to the world we live in today. It is easy for us as humans to take for granted things when we don’t really know how they are grown or produced. Without agriculture, we may not get food and clothing. Without timber, we may not be able to build houses and furniture. We may also be deprived of some everyday-products like soap, paper and ethanol, which are made up of some sort of agricultural by-product. Modern medicine also depends on agriculture. Without agriculture, we wouldn’t be here. We must always be thankful for this industry and for those involved in the various activities related to it.

Question 2.
Can you give solutions for the prevailing water disputes in South India (construction of dams / raising of dams / cleaning of tanks}?
Answer:

  1. Construction of check dams: In order to prevent surface run off water • during heavy rains. Check dams has to be constructed to regulate the flow of water.
  2. Raising of dams: Improves the storage capacity, Strengthening the dams is a must.
  3. Cleaning of tanks: Preventing encroachment by strict legal action, desilting the tanks and deepening it in the local areas will provide water supply to the locality, as well as to maintain the areas of ground water level cleaning of tanks is a must

Question 25.
A water molecule has an electric dipole moment of 6.3 x 10 Cm. A sample contains 10 water molecules, with all the dipole moments aligned parallel to the external electric field of magnitude 3 x 10s NC-1. How much work is required to rotate all the water molecules from θ = 0° to 90°?
Answer:
When the water molecules are aligned in the direction of the electric field, it has minimum potential energy. The work done to rotate the dipole from θ = 0° to 90° is equal to the potential energy difference between these two configurations.
W = ΔU = U(90°) – U(0°)
As we know, U = -pE cos θ, Next we calculate the work done to rotate one water molecule
from θ = 0° to 90°,
For one water molecule, W = – pE cos 90° + pE cos 0° = pE
W = 6.3 x10-30 x 3 x 105 = 18.9 x 10-25
For 1022 water molecules, the total work done is Wtot = 18.9x 10 25 x 1022 = 18.9 x 10 3 J

Question 26.
What are the properties of an equipotential surface?
Answer:
Properties of equipotential surfaces
(i) The work done to move a charge q between any two points A and B,
W = q (VB – VA ). If the points A and B lie on the same equipotential surface, work done is zero because VB – VA

(ii) The electric field is normal to an equipotential surface. If it is not normal, then there is a component of the field parallel to the surface. Then work must be done to move a charge between two points on the same surface. This is a contradiction. Therefore the electric field must always be normal to an equipotential surface.

Question 34.
(a) Derive an expression for electrostatic potential energy of the dipole in a uniform electric field.
Answer:
Expression for electrostatic potential energy of the dipole in a uniform electric field:
Considera dipole placed in the uniform electric field \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{E}}\) placed in the uniform electric field \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{E}}\) . A dipole experiences a torque when kept in an uniform electric field E.
Tamil Nadu 12th Physics Model Question Paper 3 English Medium 12
This torque rotates the dipole to align it with the direction of the electric field. To rotate the dipole (at constant angular velocity) from its initial angle θ’ to another angle θ against the torque exerted by the electric field, an equal and opposite external torque must be applied on the dipole. The work done by the external torque to rotate the dipole from angle θ’ to θ at constant angular velocity is
Tamil Nadu 12th Physics Model Question Paper 3 English Medium 13
This work done is equal to the potential energy difference between the angular positions 0 and 0′. U(θ) – (Uθ’) = ΔU = -pE cos θ + pE cos θ’.

If the initial angle is = θ’ = 90° and is taken as reference point, then U(θ’) + pE cos 90° = 0. The potential energy stored in the system of dipole kept in the uniform electric field is given by.
U = -pE cos θ = -p-E  ……………. (3)

In addition to p and E, the potential energy also depends on the orientation θ of the electric dipole with respect to the external electric field.

The potential energy is maximum when the dipole is aligned anti-parallel (θ = Jt) to the external electric field and minimum when the dipole is aligned parallel (θ = 0) to the external electric field.

(b) Deduce the relation for the magnetic induction at a point due to an infinitely long straight conductor carrying current.
Answer:
Magnetic field due to long straight conductor carrying current: Consider a long straight wire NM with current I flowing from N to M. Let P be the point at a distance a from point O.
Consider an element of length dl of the wire at a distance l from point O and \(\vec{r} \) be the vector joining the element dl with the point P. Let θ be the angle between \(d \vec{l} \text { and } \vec{r}\). Then, the magnetic field at P due to the element is
\(d \overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}}=\frac{\mu_{0} \mathrm{Id} l}{4 \pi r^{2}} \sin \theta\)(unit vector perpendicular to \(d \vec{l} \text { and } \vec{r}\)
Tamil Nadu 12th Physics Model Question Paper 3 English Medium 14

The direction of the field is perpendicular to the plane of the paper and going into it. This can be determined by taking the cross product between two vectors \(d \vec{l} \text { and } \vec{r}\)
(let it be \(\hat{n}\)). The net magnetic field can be determined by integrating equation with proper limits. \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}}=\int d \overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}}\) From the figure, in a right angle triangle PAO,
Tamil Nadu 12th Physics Model Question Paper 3 English Medium 15

This is the magnetic field at a point P due to the current in small elemental length. Note that we have expressed the magnetic field OP in terms of angular coordinate i.e. θ. Therefore, the net magnetic field at the point P which can be obtained by integrating \(d \overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}} \) by varying the angle from θ = φ1 to θ =φ2 is

Question 35.
(a) Obtain an expression for motional emf from Lorentz force.
Answer:
Motional emf from Lorentz force: Consider a straight conducting rod AB of length l in a uniform magnetic field \(\vec{B}\) which is directed perpendicularly into the plane of the paper. The length of the rod is normal to the magnetic field. Let the rod move with a constant velocity \(\vec{v}\) towards right side. When the rod moves, the free electrons present in it also move with same velocity \(\vec{v}\) in B. As a result, the Lorentz force acts on free electrons in the direction from B to A and is given by the relation  \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{F}}_{\mathrm{B}}\)=-
\( e(\vec{v} \times \overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}}) \) …………. (1)

The action of this Lorentz force is to accumulate the free electrons at the end A. This accumulation of free electrons produces a potential difference across the rod which in turn establishes an electric field E directed along BA. Due to the electric field \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{E}}\), the coulomb force starts acting on the free electrons along AB and is given by
\(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{F}}_{\mathrm{E}}=-e \overrightarrow{\mathrm{E}}\) ……….. (2)

The magnitude of the electric field E keeps on increasing as long as accumulation of electrons at the end A continues. The force \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{F}}_{\mathrm{B}}\) also increases until equilibrium is reached. At equilibrium, the magnetic Lorentz force \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{F}}_{\mathrm{B}}\) and the coulomb force F balance each other and no further accumulation of free electrons at the end A takes place,
i.e
Tamil Nadu 12th Physics Model Question Paper 3 English Medium 17
The potential difference between two ends of the rod is
V= El
V= vBl
Thus the Lorentz force on the free electrons is responsible to maintain this potential difference and hence produces an emf
Tamil Nadu 12th Physics Model Question Paper 3 English Medium 18
ε = B lv    ………….. (4)
As this emf is produced due to the movement of the rod, it is often called as motional emf.

(b) Explain the Maxwell’s modification of Ampere’s circuital law.
Answer:
Maxwell argued that a changing electric field between the capacitor plates must induce a magnetic field. As currents are the usual sources of magnetic fields, a changing electric field must be associated with a current. Maxwell called this current as the displacement current.

If ‘A’ be the area of the capacitor plates and ‘cf be the charge on the plates at any instant ‘f during the charging process, then the electric field in the gap will be
Tamil Nadu 12th Physics Model Question Paper 3 English Medium 19

But \(\frac{d q}{d t}\) is the rate of change of charge on the capacitor plates. It is called displacement current and given by \(\mathrm{I}_{d}=\frac{d q}{d t}=\varepsilon_{0} \frac{d \Phi_{\mathrm{E}}}{d t}\)

This is the missing term in Ampere’s Circuital Law. The total current must be the sum of the
conduction current Ic Hence, the modified form of the ampere’s law.
\(\oint_{c} \overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}} \cdot \overrightarrow{d l}=\mu_{0}\left(\mathrm{I}_{c}+\varepsilon_{0} \frac{d \Phi_{\mathrm{E}}}{d t}\right)\)

The radius of central maxima is, \(r_{0}=\frac{1.22 \lambda v}{a}\) . In the place of focal length f we have the image distance v. If the difference between the two points on the object to be resolved is dmin, then the magnification m is, \(m=\frac{r_{o}}{d_{\min }}\)

(b) Derive an expression for de Broglie wavelength of electrons.
Answer:
An electron of mass m is accelerated through a potential difference of V volt. The kinetic energy acquired by the electron is given by
\(\frac{1}{2} m v^{2}=e \mathrm{V}\)
Therefore, the speed v of the electron is \(v=\sqrt{\frac{2 e \mathrm{V}}{m}}\)
Hence, the de Broglie wavelength of the electron is \(\lambda=\frac{h}{m v}=\frac{h}{\sqrt{2 e m \mathrm{V}}}\)
Substituting the known values in the above equation, we get
Tamil Nadu 12th Physics Model Question Paper 3 English Medium 25
For example, if an electron is accelerated through a potential difference of 100V, then its de Broglie wavelength is 1.227 Å. Since the kinetic energy of the electron, K = eV, then the de Broglie wavelength associated with electron can be also written as
\(\lambda=\frac{h}{\sqrt{2 m \mathrm{K}}}\)

Question 37.
(a) Explain the variation of average binding energy with the mass number by graph and discuss its features.
Answer:
We can find the average binding energy per nucleon \(\overline{\mathrm{BE}}\).
It is given by
Tamil Nadu 12th Physics Model Question Paper 3 English Medium 26
The average binding energy per nucleon is the energy required to separate single nucleon from the particular nucleus. \(\overline{\mathrm{BE}}\) is plotted against A of all known nuclei.
Tamil Nadu 12th Physics Model Question Paper 3 English Medium 27

 

Important inferences from of the average binding energy curve:

  • The value of BE rises as the mass number increases until it reaches a maximum value of 8.8 MeV for A= 56 (iron) and then it slowly decreases.
  • The average binding energy per nucleon is about 8.5 MeV for nuclei having mass number between A = 40 and 120. These elements are comparatively more stable and not radioactive.
  • For higher mass numbers, the curve reduces slowly and BE for uranium is about 7.6 MeV. They are unstable and radioactive.  If two light nuclei with A < 28 combine with a nucleus with A < 56, the binding energy per nucleon is more for final nucleus than the initial nuclei. Thus, if the lighter elements combine to produce a nucleus of medium value A, a large amount of energy will be released. This is the basis of nuclear fusion and is the principle of the hydrogen bomb.
  • If a nucleus of heavy element is split (fission) into two or more nuclei of medium value A, the energy released would again be large. The atom bomb is based on this principle and huge energy of atom bombs comes from this fission when it is uncontrolled.

(b) What are the possible harmful effects of usage of Nanoparticles? Why?
Answer:
Possible harmful effects of usage of Nanoparticles:

The research on the harmful impact of application of nanotechnology is also equally important and fast developing. The major concern here is that the nanoparticles have the dimensions same as that of the biological molecules such as proteins. They may easily get absorbed onto the surface of living organisms and they might enter the tissues and fluids of the body.

The adsorbing nature depends on the surface of the nanoparticle. Indeed, it is possible to deliver a drug directly to a specific cell in the body by designing the surface of a nanoparticle so that it adsorbs specifically onto the surface of the target cell.

The interaction with living systems is also affected by the dimensions of the nanoparticles. For instance, nanoparticles of a few nanometers size may reach well inside biomolecules, which is not possible for larger nanoparticles. Nanoparticles can also cross cell membranes.

It is also possible for the inhaled nanoparticles to reach the blood, to reach other sites such as the liver, heart or blood cells. Researchers are trying to understand the response of living organisms to the presence of nanoparticles of varying size, shape, chemical composition and surface characteristics.

Question 2.
Let A = {1, 2, 3, 4,…,45} and R be the relation defined as “is square of ” on A. Write R as a subset of A × A. Also, find the domain and range of R.
Solution:
A = {1, 2, 3, 4, . . . 45}, A × A = {(1, 1), (2, 2) ….. (45, 45)}
R – is square of’
R = {(1, 1), (2, 4), (3, 9), (4, 16), (5, 25), (6, 36)}
R ⊂ (A × A)
Domain of R = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
Range of R = {1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36}

Question 3.
A Relation R is given by the set {(x, y)/y = x + 3, x ∈ {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}}. Determine its domain and range.
Answer:
x = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
y = x + 3
when x = 0 ⇒ y = 0 + 3 = 3
when x = 1 ⇒ y = 1 + 3 = 4
when x = 2 ⇒ y = 2 + 3 = 5
when x = 3 ⇒ y = 3 + 3 = 6
when x = 4 ⇒ y = 4 + 3 = 7
when x = 5 y = 5 + 3 = 8
R = {(0, 3) (1,4) (2, 5) (3, 6) (4, 7) (5, 8)}
Domain = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
Range = {3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8}

Question 5.
A company has four categories of employees given by Assistants (A), Clerks (C), Managers (M) and an Executive Officer (E). The company provide ₹10,000, ₹25,000, ₹50,000 and ₹1,00,000 as salaries to the people who work in the categories A, C, M and E respectively. If A1, A2, A3, A4 and A5 were Assistants; C1, C2, C3, C4 were Clerks; M1, M2, M3 were managers and E1, E2 were Executive officers and if the relation R is defined by xRy, where x is the salary given to person y, express the relation R through an ordered pair and an arrow diagram.
Answer:
Assistants → A1, A2, A3, A4, A5
Clerks → C1, C2, C3, C4
Managers → M1, M2, M3
Executive officers → E1, E2

Functions Definition
A relation f between two non – empty sets X and Y is called a function from X to Y if for each x ∈ X there exists only one Y ∈ Y such that (x, y) ∈ f
f = {(x, y) / for all x ∈ X, y ∈ f}
Note: The range of a function is a subset of its co-domain
