What are quantum numbers? |
|
Answer» 1. The electron in an atom can be characterized by a set of four quantum numbers, namely – principal quantum number (n), azimuthal quantum number (l), magnetic quantum number (m) and spin quantum number (s). 2. When Schrodinger equation is solved for a wave function φ, the solution contains the first three quantum numbers n, 1 and m. 3. The fourth quantum number arises due to the spinning of the electron about its own axis. |

(I) Explain how the equilibrium constant Kc predict the extent of a reaction?(II) Explain about the effect of catalyst in an equilibrium reaction? |
|
Answer» (I) 1. The value of equilibrium constant KC tells us the extent of the reaction i.e., it indicate how far the reaction has proceeded towards product formation at a given temperature. 2. A large value of KC indicates that the reaction reaches equilibrium with high product yield on the other hand, lower value of KC indicates that the reaction reaches equilibrium with low product yield. 3. If K > 10-3 , the reaction proceeds nearly to completion. 4. If KC < 10-3 the reaction rarely proceeds. 5. It the KC is in the range 10-3 to 103, significant amount of both reactants and products are present at equilibrium. (II) Addition of catalyst does not affect the state of equilibrium. The catalyst increases the rate of both the forward and reverse reactions to the same extent. Hence it does not change the equilibrium composition of the reaction mixture. |

What are ideal and non-ideal solutions? |
|
Answer» A solution is said to be ideal if each of its components obeys Raoult's law for the entire range of concentration (composition). In the preparation of ideal solution, no thermal change is observed. i.e. △Hmix=0 The force of interaction between A−A, B−B and A−B are of same order. The volume of mixing (△Vmix) is also zero. i.e. The volume of the solution will be equal to sum of the volumes of the two components. For example, the solution of benzene in CCl4 shows same attractive forces as are present in benzene and CCl4 separately. Another examples are benzene and toluene, bromoethane and chloroethane. Solutions are non-ideal if they do not obey Raoult's law. i.e. △Hmix≠0 and △Vmix≠0 Therefore these solution deviate from ideality and depending on type of deviation from ideal behaviour, non-ideal solutions may be classified as showing negative deviation or positive deviation. |

Define order of reaction. How will you know that a reaction is of first order? |
|
Answer» The order of reaction can be defined as the power dependence of rate on the concentration of all reactants. For example, the rate of a first-order reaction is dependent solely on the concentration of one species in the reaction. Some characteristics of the reaction order for a chemical reaction are listed below.
There are several different methods which can be followed in order to determine the reaction order. Some of these methods are described in this subsection.
First-Order Reactions The rates of these reactions depend on the concentration of only one reactant, i.e. the order of reaction is 1. In these reactions, there may be multiple reactants present, but only one reactant will be of first-order concentration while the rest of the reactants would be of zero-order concentration. Example of a first-order reaction: 2H2O2 → 2H2O + O2 |

Why is cryollite added in the electrolysis of alumina? |
|
Answer» The mixture of cryolite and aluminium oxide has a lower melting point than pure aluminium oxide. This means a lower amount of energy is required to establish effective conditions for electrolysis and thus makes it more cost effective. Molten cryolite serves as a solvent for the molten aluminium oxide and increases the conductivity of the solution. |
|

Phosphene has lower boiling point than ammonia. Why? |
|
Answer» PH3 has a lower boiling point than ammonia due to its inability to assorted via intermolecular hydrogn bonding. This is because phosphorus is bigger have bigger size as compare to nitrogen thus have weak bonding with hydrogen. |

What are the different type of networking / internetworking devices? |
|
Answer» 1. Repeater: Also called a regenerator, it is an electronic device that operates only at physical layer. It receives the signal in the network before it becomes weak, regenerates the original bit pattern and puts the refreshed copy back in to the link. 2. Bridges: These operate both in the physical and data link layers of LANs of same type. They divide a larger network in to smaller segments. They contain logic that allow them to keep the traffic for each segment separate and thus are repeaters that relay a frame only the side of the segment containing the intended recipent and control congestion 3. Routers: They relay packets among multiple interconnected networks (i.e. LANs of different type). They operate in the physical, data link and network layers. They contain software that enable them to determine which of the several possible paths is the best for a particular transmission. 4. Gateways: They relay packets among networks that have different protocols (e.g. between a LAN and a WAN). They accept a packet formatted for one protocol and convert it to a packet formatted for another protocol before forwarding it. They operate in all seven layers of the OSI model. |

What is Protocol Data Unit? |
|
Answer» The data unit in the LLC level is called the protocol data unit (PDU). The PDU contains of four fields a destination service access point (DSAP), a source service access point (SSAP), a control field and an information field. DSAP, SSAP are addresses used by the LLC to identify the protocol stacks on the receiving and sending machines that are generating and using the data. The control field specifies whether the PDU frame is a information frame (I - frame) or a supervisory frame (S - frame) or a unnumbered frame (U - frame). |

What is Project 802? |
|
Answer» It is a project started by IEEE to set standards to enable intercommunication between equipment from a variety of manufacturers. It is a way for specifying functions of the physical layer, the data link layer and to some extent the network layer to allow for interconnectivity of major LAN protocols. It consists of the following: 1. 802.1 is an internetworking standard for compatibility of different LANs and MANs across protocols. 2. 802.2 Logical link control (LLC) is the upper sublayer of the data link layer which is non-architecture-specific, that is remains the same for all IEEE-defined LANs. 3. Media access control (MAC) is the lower sublayer of the data link layer that contains some distinct modules each carrying proprietary information specific to the LAN product being used. The modules are Ethernet LAN (802.3), Token ring LAN (802.4), Token bus LAN (802.5). 4. 802.6 is distributed queue dual bus (DQDB) designed to be used in MANs. |

Define electrochemical equivalent |
|
Answer» Electro Chemical Equivalent- If Q = 1 coulomb, I = 1 ampere, t = 1 second them W = Z Electrochmical equivalent of a substance may be defined as the mass of the substance deposited when a current of one ampere is passed for one second i.e, a quantity of electricity equal to one coulomb is passed. |
|

State Faraday's 1st law of electrolysis. |
|
Answer» Faraday's first law of electrolysis- It states that- The amount of chemical reaction and hence the mass of any substance deposited or liberated at any electrode is directly proportional to the quantity of electricity passed through the electrolyte (solution of melt). Thus, it W gram of the substance is deposited on passing Q coulombs of electricity then W ∝ R ⇒ W = ZQ When z is a constant of proportionally and is called electrochemical equivalent of the substance deposited. If a current of 1 amperes is passed for t seconds, then Q = I x t So W = Z x Q = z x I x t |
