(B) Trisha was given a silvery white metal (A) and she was asked to heat it in air. Trisha did that and observed that a white ash (X) is formed. Out of curiosity she dissolved the ash (X) in water and obtained a solution (Y). Trisha tested the solution (Y) using pH paper and found that it turned blue. (Y) is commonly used in dental work as a antimicrobial, and is the substance of choice of dentists for forming a protective layer known as an apical barrier. (Y) when reacts with chlorine gas gives (B), which is used as a toilet cleaner.

Questions 34 :
A stable carbon nucleus has 6 protons and 6 neutrons and radius of 2.7 × 10–15 m. The six protons repel each other so that each proton experiences equal resultant force from the others which is also the minimum resultant repulsive force.
For the purpose of calculations, assume that the protons and neutrons are point particles and protons are point charges. Also assume that protons and neutrons get distributed inside or on the surface of sphere of radius given above. The nuclear force which gives nucleus its stability is NOT discussed in this question.
Note: A force F has its component at an angle ? given by F cos ? and in a direction perpendicular to the first (in the same plane), it is F sin ?.
