One faraday of electricity deposits one mol of Na from the molten salt but (1)/(3) mol of Al from an aluminium salt. Why?

Answer»

Solution :The reactions at cathode for the deposit of Na and AL are `Na^(+)+e^(-)toNa and Al^(3+)+3e^(-)toAl`
Thus, 1 FARADAY DEPOSITS 1 MOL of Na whereas 3 faradays are required for DEPOSITING one mol of Al.

One dm^(3) solution containing 10^(-5) moles each of Cl^(-) ions and CrO_(4)^(2-) ions is treated with 10^(-4) moles of silver nitrate. Which one of the following observation is made. [K_(sp) Ag_(2)CrO_(4) = 4 xx 10^(-12)] [K_(sp)AgCl = 1 xx 10^(-10)]

Answer»

Precipitation does not occur
SILVER chromate gets PRECIPITATED first
Silver CHLORIDE gets precipitated first
Both silver chromate and silver chloride start precipitation simultaneously

Solution :Ionic product of `AgCl = [10^(-4)][10^(-5)] = 10^(-9)`
Ionic product of `Ag_(2)CrO_(4) = [10^(-8)][10^(-5)] = 10^(-13)`
Ionic product of `AgCl gt K_(sp)` of AgCl
So, precipitation will take place.
Ionic product of `Ag_(2)CrO_(4) LT K_(sp)` of `Ag_(2)CrO_(4)`
So, precipitation will not take place.

One day, the chemistry teacher discussed the importance of alkaloids in our life. He told that alkaloids are a group of naturally occurring complex nitrogen containing compounds which produce a great physiological occurring complex nitrogen containing compounds which produce a great physiological action when administered into the body. these are synthesized by plants to protect them from insects and fungi. these are also toxic to human beings. although some of these are quite useful to us. Therefore, the teacher warned that these alkaloids should be taken, if needed, in small amounts because their higher doeses can prove fatal. After reading the above passage, answer the following questions, (i) Name the alkaloids present in tea leaves and what is its effect of human beings? (ii) Name the alkaloid present in opium and what are its uses?

Answer»

Solution :(i) The alkaloid PRESENT in tea leaves is caffeince. It is a stimulant and activates the CENTRAL nervous system. Under its influence, one can work more EFFICIENTLY and for longer hours.
(ii) the alkaloid present in opium is morphine. It is a powerful ANALGESIC and is given only when the PATIENT is in great pain.

One day, Sakshi's mother noticed that the water pipe line of her house was getting rusted. She did not want excavation of the pipe. She asked her dughter that as she was a student of science, she should suggest some method so that further rusting stops. Now, answer the following questions: (i) What values are expressed in the above paragraph? (ii) What do you think sakshi ust have suggested to her mother and why?

Answer»

Solution :(i) Every MUST have some basic KNOWLEDGE of science and we should apply it to our day to day practival application.
(ii) Sakshi must have SUGGESTED that magnesium BLOCK should be attached to water pipe line through an electric wire. It will act as anode and undergo oxidation in preference to iron and hence will protect iron-pipe from further RUSTING.

One day Nitin was discussing with hig class fellows the composition of oils and fats and their effect on our health. He suggested that fats and hydrogenated oils should not be used for cooking purposes but emphasized that only olive oil, canola oil, soyabean oil, sarson oil, groundnut oil, etc. should be used. After reading the above passage, answer the following questions. (i) What is the basic difference in the composition of oils and fats? (ii) What type of health problem is caused by consumption of saturated fats and how can this problem be checked by using olive oil, canola oil or any other oil? (iii) What values are displayed by Nitiin regarding use of oils instead of fats for cooking purposes?

Answer»

Solution :(i) Vegetable OILS and ats both contain a mixture of esters of unsaturated fatty acids (mainly omega-`3^(**) and` omega`-6^(**)` fatty acids) and saturated fatty acids (palmitic acid, stearic acid, etc.) wit glycerol WHEREAS oils contain a much higher percentage of esters of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, while FATS and hydrogenated oils contain a much higher percentage of esters of saturated fatty acids.
(ii) Consumption of fats and hydrogenated oils increase the level of bad cholesterol (LDL-low density lipoprotein) in blood which sticks to the walls of the arteries and causes conorary heart disease. To check the occurrence of heart ATTACK, olive oil, canola oil, etc. which contain omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids should be used for cooking purposes because they tend to decrease the level of LDL thereby increasing the level of HDL (high density lipoprotein) which PREVENTS the heart attacks.
(iii) By suggesting that oils rather than fats be used for cooking purposes, nitin had displayed his concern about the general health of the people.

On what ground can you say that scandium (Z=21) is a transition element but zinc (Z=30) is not?

Answer»

Solution :On the basis of INCOMPLETELY filled 3d-orbitals in case of SCANDIUM atom in its ground state `(3d^(1))`, it is regarded as a TRANSITION element. On the other HAND, zinc atom has completely filled d-orbitals `(3d^(10))` in its ground state as well as in its oxidised state, hence it is not regarded as a transition element.
47.

On what ground can you say that scandium (Z= 21) is a transition element but zinc (Z= 30) is not ?

Answer»

Solution :Sc `(Z= 21)` contains incompletely FILLED 3d orbital `( 3d^(1))` WHEREAS zinc contains compltely filled d-orbitals `( 3d^(10))` . Hence, by definition, scandium is a TRANSITIONELEMENT but zinc is not.
48.

On what factors do the stability of the state of matter depends upon ?

Answer»

SOLUTION : The stability of state of matter depends on two opposing factors :
(i) Intermolecular force
(II) Thermal energy
Intermolecular forces tend to keep the molecules or atoms or ions closer while thermal energy tends to keep them apart by making them move faster.
At sufficiently low temperature, the thermal energy is low and intermolecular forces bring them so close that they cling to one another and occupy fixed positions. These can still oscillate about their MEAN positions and substance EXISTS in solid state.

On what does the emf of a lead storage battery depend?

Answer»

Solution :The emf of the cell DEPENDS on the concentration of `H_(2)SO_(4)`. As the cell reaction uses `SO_(4)^(2-)` ions, the concentration `H_(2)SO_(4)` decreases. When the cell potential FALLS to about 1.8V, the cell has to be recharged..
