Neelam is a class XII student. Her mother fell down and bruised her leg which gave her lot of pain. Neelam gave her mother a non-narcotic analgesic which was safe to use. Her mother questioned if there was some other type of analgesics as well. Neelam replied in the affirmative and told her mother that narcotic analgesics should be taken only when one is in acute pain. After reading the above passage, answer the following questions : (i)What values are expressed by Neelam about narcotic and a non-narcotic analgesics? (ii) Give some examples of narcotic and non-narcotic analgesics. (iii) Give one example of an antipyretic which also acts as an analgesic. How does it work as an analgesic?

Answer»

Solution :(i)Neelam expressed values about the safety in CHOOSING analgesics. Whereas non-narcotic analgesics are non-addictive and hence are safe to use, narcotic analgesics are addictive, i.e., habit forming and hence not safe to use. Therefore, narcotic analgesics should be used only in severe pain such as post-operative pain, cardiac pain, pains of TERMINAL cancer and in child birth.
(ii) Examples of non-narcotic analgesics are : aspirin, paracetamol, naproxen, ibuprofen and diclofenac sodium, and examples of narcotic analgesics are morphine, codeine and heroin
(iii) Aspirin ACTS both as an antipyretic as WELL as analgesic. Its analgesic action is due to the reason that it INHIBITS the synthesis of prostaglandins which stimulate inflammation in the tissues and cause pain.

ANSWER :C
46.

NCl_3 is possible for nitrogen while NCl_5 is not possible. For phosphorus atom PCl_3 and PCl_5 both are possible. The reason for this is.....

Answer»

P-atom POSSESSES VACANT d-orbitals, while N-atom does not POSSESS.
The elctronegativity of P is less than that of N.
The tendency to form hydrogen BOND for phosphorus is less than that of nitrogen
At normal temperature phosphorus is solid, while nitrogen possesses gaseous state.

Solution :P-atom possesses vacant d-orbitals, while N-atom does not possess.
47.

49.

NCI_(3) is an endothermic compound while NF_(3) is an exothermic compound.

Answer»

Solution :DUE to smaller size of F as compared to CI, the N-F bond is much stronger (272 kJ `mol^(-1)`) than N-CI bond (201 kJ `mol^(-1)`) while bond dissociation energy of `F_(2)` (158.8 kJ `mol^(-1)`) is much lower than that of `CI_(2)` (242.6 kJ `mol^(-1)`). Therefore, ernergy released during the fomation of `NF_(3)` molecule is more than the energy needed to break `N_(2)` (941.4 kJ `mol^(-1)`) and `F_(2)` molecules into individual atoms. In other words, formation of `NF_(3)` is an exothermic REACTION or `NF_(3)` is an exothermic compound.
`{:(N_(2)(g)+3F_(2)(g) rarr 2 NF_(3)(g),,""Delta = -214.2 kJ mol^(-1)),(N_(2)(g)+3CI_(2)(g) rarr 2 NCI_(3)(g),,""Delta H = +463.2 kJ mol^(-1)):}`
In CONTRAST, energy released during the formation of `NCI_(3)` molecule is less than the energy needed to break `N_(2) and CI_(2)` molecules into individual atoms. In other words, formation of `NCI_(3)` is an endothermic reaction or `NCI_(3)` is an endothermic compound.

N(CH_3)_3 is pyramidal but N (SiH_3)_3 is planar-explain.

Answer»

Solution :Because of d -orbital RESONANCE, the N-atom in `N(SiH_3)_3` MOLECULE is `sp^2` - hybridised and therefore, the molecule is planar. No such d -orbital resonance OCCURS in `N(CH_3)_3` and the central N-atom is `sp^3` -hybridised. For this reason, this molecule is pyramidal.
