In what respect do prontosil and salvarsan resemble. Is there any resemblance between azo dye and prontosil ? Explain. |
Answer» Solution :Paul Ehrlich a German bacteriologist, INVESTIGATED arsenic based structures in order to produce less toxic substances for the treatment of syphilis. He developed the medicine, arsphenamine, known as salvarsan. It was the first effective treatment discovered for syphilis. Although salvarsan is toxic to human beings, its effect on the bacteria, spirochete, which causes syphilis is much greater than on human beings. Ehrlich was WORKING on azodyes ALSO. He noted that there is similarity in structures of salvarsan and azodyes. The `-As = As-` linkage present in arsphenamine resembles the `-N = N-` linkage present in azodyes in the sense that arsenic atom is present in place of nitrogen. He also noted tissues getting coloured by dyes selectively. Therefore, Ehrlich began to search for the COMPOUNDS that resemble in structure to azodyes and selectively bind to bacteria. He found that protonsil resembles in structure to the compound salvarsan.

In what respect do prontosil and salvarsan resemble. Is there may resemblance between azo dye and prontosil? Explain. |
|
Answer» Solution :Prontosi, also called sulfamido chrysoidine, trade name of the first synthetic drug used in the treatment of general bacterialinfections in humans. Prontosil resulted from research, directed by German chemist and pathologist Gerhard Domagk, on the antibactierial action of azo dyes. A red azo dye of LOW toxicity, prontosil was shown by Domagk to precent mortality in mice infected with Streptococcus bacteria. The dye was also effective in controlling staphloccus infections in rabbits. WITHIN a relativity SHORT period, it was demonstratedthat prontosil was effective not ony in combating experiment infections in animals but also Streptococcaldisease in humans, including meningitis and puerperal sepsis. Structural formula of prontosil is From the structure of prontosil, it is very clear that it has - N = N = - linkage. it was discovered that the part of the structure of protosil molecule shown in box, i.e., p-aminobenzenesuphonamide has antibacterial activity. Salvarsan is also known as arsphenamine. It was introduced at the begining of 1910s as the first effective treatment for syphills. t is an organosernic molecules and has -As = As- double bond. Salvarsan and prontosil show similarity in their structure in their structure. Both of these drugs are antimicrobials. Salvarsan CONTAINS -As = As - linkage whereas prontosil has -N = N - linkage. ![]() Prontosil (a red azo dye) and azo dye both have -N = N- linkage.

In what condition extraction of Mg is possible by MgO using carbon reduction method. |
|
Answer» Solution :ACCORDING to Ellinghan diagram reduction of metal oxide with carbon will occur when the accompaying `DeltaG` is negative. Such reduction become feasible at very high temperature. `MgO` can only be reduced by carbon at the temperature approximate `2000^(@)C`. `Mg` form by heating `MgO` and `C` at `2000^(@)C`, at this temperature or above `C` reduces `MgO`. The gaseous mixture of `Mg` and `CO` was then cooled very repidly to deposit the metal. This quenching or shockooling was necessary as the reaction is REVERSIBLE, and if cooled slowely the reaction will come to equilibrium further to teh left and we get `Mg`. `Mg + C hArr Mg +CO` Limitations of Ellinghan Diagram: (a) The graph simply indicates whether a reaction is possible or not i.e. the tendency of reduction with a reducing agent is indicated. This is so because it is based only on the thermodynamic concepts. It doe not SAY about the kinetics of teh reduction PROCESS (Cannot ANSWER questions like how fast it could be?) (b) The interpretation of `DeltaG^(Theta)` is based on `K(DeltaG^(Theta) =- RT` InK). Thus it is persumed that the reactants of products are in equilibrium. `M_(x)O +A_(red) 1 xM +AO_(OX)` |
