Everything in nature is made up of five basic elements: (i) earth, (ii) water, (iii) fire, (iv) air, and (v) space. Each of the five elements has a certain relationship with the other elements. These relationships form the laws of nature. An element could support or act as an enemy to the other element. For example, air (contains oxygen) supports fire, but water can block the spread of fire. Therefore, in order for them to co-exist, fire and water need to be separated. Fire is the rapid oxidation of a material in the chemical process of combustion, releasing heat, light and various reaction products. The flame is the visible portion of the fire and consists of glowing hot gases. Fire has the potential to cause physical damage through burning. (a) Name three elements that are necessary for a fire to ignite and how they are responsible? (b) Enumerate the common causes of open flames. |
|
Answer» (a) For a fire, three things are necessary – heat, oxygen and fuel. Fuel (in a non-gaseous state) does not burn directly. When you apply heat to fuel, it produces a gas. When the oxygen in the air combines with this gas, it burns. Remove one of those things (e.g., add water to eliminate heat or cover with dirt or sand to eliminate oxygen) and the fire will go out. Fires start when a flammable and/or a combustible material, in combination with a sufficient quantity of oxygen gas is exposed to a source of heat that reaches above the flash point for the fuel and is able to sustain a rate of rapid oxidation that produces a chain reaction (b) Open Flames ● Negligence while conducting welding, cutting or grinding. ● Improper use of candles. ● Improper handling of flammable or combustible liquids or flammable gases in or nearto- potential ignition sources. ● Matches and cigarettes that are improperly disposed off or left unattended near combustibles. |

Answer» People perform better when they are committed to achieving certain goals. Goal Setting is a process of thinking about your ideal future and for motivating yourself to achieve your goals. By setting well-defined goals you can measure your achievements and take necessary steps to develop additional knowledge, skill and attitude to achieve what you want to achieve in life. Your goals could be related to your career, family, financial, education, attitude, physical abilities, pleasure, public service, social service, etc. Always state your goal as a positive statement and try your best to achieve it. Goals can be long-term or short-term. The following steps are important to set a goal: 1. Simple: A goal should be concrete and specific. 2. Measurable: Monitor and evaluate so that we know whether we are achieving our goal or not. If it is not going well, maybe we need to alter our goal or our action plan. When we achieve the goal, reward ourselves by doing something we enjoy and congratulate ourselves on a job well done. 3. Action-based: Use action verbs in our goal statement. 4. Realistic: A goal should be realistic, which means manageable and achievable. Our motivation may drop if our goal is unrealistic, and we set ourselves up for failure. 5. Time Limited: A goal can be broken into smaller and more manageable steps. Then it becomes possible to give a timeframe for achieving the goal. If it is a larger goal, list the benefits if we accomplish our goal and list any obstacles to overcome. Come up with a specific action plan and timetable for each step in accomplishing our goal and for overcoming obstacles |

What are Smart Goals? Write the acronym of S.M.A.R.T. |
|
Answer» S.M.A.R.T. is an acronym for the 5 steps of specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and timely goals. It’s a simple tool used by businesses to go beyond the realm of fuzzy goal- setting into an actionable plan for results. Specific: Great goals are well-defined and focused Measurable: A goal without a measurable outcome is like a sports competition without a scoreboard. Concrete numbers should be put in the goals to know if one is on track. |

Free energies of formation `(Delta_(f) G^(Ө))` of `MgO(s)` and `CO_((g))` at `1273 K` and `2273 K` are given below : `Delta_(f) G^(Ө) (MgO_((s) )) = -941 kJ//mol at 1273 K` `Delta_(f) G^(Ө) (MeO_((s))) = -314 kJ//mol at 2273 K` `Delta_(f) G^(Ө) (CO_((g))) = - 439 kJ//mol at at 1273 K` `Delta_(f) G^(Ө) (CO_((g))) = -628 kJ//mol at 2273 K` On the basis of above data, predict the temperature at which carbon can be used as a reducing for agent `MgO_((s))`. |
|
Answer» (a) At `1273 K` `Mg_((s)) + (1)/(2) O_(2(g)) rarr MgO_((s)) , Delta _(f) G^(Ө) = -941 kJ//mol^-1` ....(i) `C_((s)) + (1)/(2) O_(2(g)) rarr 4CO_((g)) , Delta _(f) G^(Ө) = -439 kJ//mol^-1` ....(ii) The redox equation for equation of `MgO` to `Mg` by `C` can be obtained by subtracting Eq. (i) from Eq. (ii). Thus, `MgO_((s)) + C_((s)) rarr Mg_((s)) + CO_((g))` Since `Delta_(f) G^(Ө)` of the above reduction reaction is `+ ve`, reduction of `MgO` by `C` is not feasible at `1273 K`. (b) At `2273 K` `Mg_((s)) +(1)/(2) O_(2(g)) rarr MgO_((s)) , Delta_(f) G^(Ө) = -314 kJ//mol^(-1)` ...(iii) `C_((s)) + (1)/(2) O_(2(g)) rarr CO_((g)) , Delta_(f) G^(Ө) = -628 kJ//mol^-1` ...(iv) Substracting Eq. (iii) from Eq. (iv), the redox equation is `MgO_((s)) + C_((s)) rarr Mg_((s)) + CO_((g))` and `Delta_(r) G^(Ө) CO_((g)) - Delta _(f) G^(Ө) MgO_((s))` =`(-628) - (-314) = -314 kJ mol^(-1)` Since `Delta_(r) G^(Ө)` for the above reduction reaction is `- ve`, reduction of `MgO` by carbon at `2273 K` is feasible. |

The choice of a reducing agent in a particular case depends on thermodynamic factor. How far do you agree with this statement ? Support your opinion with example. |
|
Answer» Yes, The choice of a reducing agent in a particular case depends on thermodynamic factor. Example : The free energies of formation `(Delta_(f) G^(Ө))` of most sulphides are greater than those or `CS_(2)` and `H_(2)S`. Carbon disulphide is, in fact, an endothermic compound. Therefore, neither carbon nor hydrogen is a suitable reducing agent for metal sulphides. |

Read the following passage and answer the questions set on it.Stress is a disease of modern times. It afflicts people regardless of their situation in life. Stress is present in the lives of the rich and the poor, literate and illiterate, men and women. Stress is, however, I more evident and is probably more widespread in technologically advanced countries, and is common among higher qualified professionals.Stress is of various kinds, physical, emotional and intellectual and it is characterised by a feeling of being burned, of being unable to cope. At a physical level, modern technology and facilities have actually increased workloads and decreased relaxation. Mobile phones and laptops have made it easy to carry the office to the home.Emotional stress increases when there is disharmony and friction in relationships. Unfortunately the trend today is to take the easy way out – people prefer to break away from relationships rather than repair them. The answer to stress can be found in the very letters of the word ‘stress’. ‘S’ stands for strength – physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual. Physical and emotional weakness leads to irritability. A strong healthy body developed through proper diet, exercise and pranayama techniques helps reduce stress at the physical level. Love, compassion and friendship are valuable strengths that help us cope with stress.The scriptures say that knowledge of self cannot be gained without inner strength. Rabindranath Tagore, in a poem, prays to the Lord not to remove all obstacles, but instead, he asks for strength to bear them. Before the start of the Mahabharata war Arjuna was seized with emotional weakness and he refused to fight the war. Lord Krishna rescued him by giving him emotional strength.‘T’ stands for traffic control. We need to regulate and control our thoughts. We can cope with stress best if our thoughts are orderly and methodical. Unnecessary accumulation leads to clogging of the mind. The key lies in being able to love one moment at a time. Eat while eating, work while working, and leave the home at home and the office at the office. Remember, however long we have to travel, we can only take one step at a time.Answer the following in a word, a phrase or a sentence each:(a) What is the disease of modern times?(b) What are the kinds of stress mentioned in the passage?(c) What has actually increased workloads and decreased relaxation?(d) When does emotional stress increase? (e) Name any one of the techniques which can help develop a strong and healthy body.(f) What does Rabindranath Tagore pray to the Lord in a poem?(g) Who rescued Arjuna by giving him emotional strength?(h) What does T stand for in the passage?(i) Add a suitable prefix to the word ‘controlled’ to make its antonym.(j) However long we have to travel, how many steps can one take at a time? |
|
Answer» (a) Stress is a disease of modern times. (b) Physical, emotional and intellectual stress are the types of stress mentioned in the passage. (c) Modern technology and facilities have increased workloads and decreased relaxation. (d) Emotional stress increases when there are disharmony and friction in relationships. (e) A strong and healthy body can be developed through proper diet, exercise and pranayama techniques. (f) Rabindranath Tagore, in a poem, prays to the Lord not to remove all obstacles, but instead, he asks for strength to bear them. (g) Lord Krishna rescued Arjuna by giving him emotional strength.

Everything is fair in love and war. How do you substantiate this statement relating to the attitudes of Dona Laura and Don Gonzalo in the play ‘A Sunny Morning’? |
|
Answer» ‘A Sunny Morning’ presents the story of Don Gonzalo and Dona Laura, who were ardent lovers in their youth, but were torn apart in life by fate. They are now in their 70s. The very lovers meet as total strangers unexpectedly in a park in Madrid. As the play begins, Dona Laura is seen in the park feeding pigeons with bread crumbs. It is at that point an old man enters with his attendant. The old man is none other than Don Gonzalo, who is seen to be quite irritated as he finds no bench in the park vacant. Quite grudgingly he comes near Laura and shares her bench. Laura gets infuriated as the old man has scared the pigeons she was feeding and calls him ‘an ill-natured man.’ With hr witty remarks she makes him tongue-tied and helpless. But, after a few moments of disagreement, both of them have a pinch of snuff and reconcile with each other. Gonzalo says that he is from Valencia and to his surprise, Laura reveals that she is from Maricela. Gonzalo is startled by the revelation and he says that he knows a woman named Laura Llorente who lived in a villa there, who was perhaps the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. Both Laura and Gonzalo realize that they were the very same young lovers once. But they pretend not to reveal their identities. Though both of them have changed a lot physically, they still cherish the memories of their adventurous youth. Though initially, they appear to be cynical, fussy and ill-natured, soon they become friends. When they discover that they were lovers once in their youth, they relive their romantic meetings as before and pretend not to recognize their earlier selves. Like young people, they live in a dream world of their own and are reluctant to come back to the world of reality. They tell atrocious lies to defend their previous actions and exit with a promise to meet the next day. |

Why did the authorities fail to carry out the death sentence given to the criminal in ‘Too Dear’? |
|
Answer» The authorities in Monaco failed to carry out the death sentence because there was neither a guillotine for cutting heads off, nor an executioner. Though they tried to borrow a machine and an expert from their neighbouring countries France and Italy, they realized that it would cost the kingdom a huge sum of money and the king would be forced to collect nearly two francs more per head on the taxes. Even if they were to get the machine, none of the soldiers in the army was ready to cut off the criminal’s head because they had not been taught how to behead a criminal. Therefore, the authorities gave up the idea of carrying out the death sentence. |
