1.

write the chemical equation for the reaction between propanoic acid and methanol in presence of sulphuric acid

Answer» The reaction is between Propanoic ACID(a carboxyllic acid) and methanol(an alcohol) in the presence of Sulphuric acid. So it is an ESTERIFICATION reaction. An ester and WATER  are formed in the reaction. The reaction isC_2H_5COOH+CH_3OH \rightarrow C_2H_5COOCH_3+H_2O
2.

Why sodium carbonate is added in preparation of soap in cold process

Answer» In case of hard water it will precipitate CALCIUM carbonate, ACTIVITY of SOAP will improve. But in presence of fresh water it will reduce the inter-facial tension , but bubbles of soap will not be formed . In presence of saline water ADDITION of sodium carbonate may increase pH resulting in SCALE formation of calcium carbonate. 
However, in general the foaming capacity of detergents is not affected to a very large extent by addition of sodium carbonate.
3.

Arrange the following in order of decreasing masses.a) 0.1g atom of silver b) 1 mole of sulphuric acid c) 1g of carbon

Answer»

A) Atomic mass of silver = 108 u
Mass of 1 g ATOMS of silver = 108 gram
Mass of 0.1 gram atoms of silver = 10.8 grams

b) Mass of 1 mole SULPHURIC acid or H2SO4 = 1*2 + 32 + 4*16 = 98 grams

c) Did you mean 1 gram atoms of carbon ? If yes, the mass is 12 grams. If no, the mass is 1 gram.

You can now order the substances.

5.

What is the mole percentage of O₂ in a mixture of 7g of N₂ and 8g of O₂

Answer» MOLAR MASS of O₂ = 32g
8g of O₂  = 8/32 MOLES = 0.25 MOLE
molar mass of N₂ = 28g
7g of O₂  = 7/28 moles = 0.25 mole

mole\ percentage\ of\ O_2 = \frac{moles\ of\ O_2}{moles\ of\ O_2+moles\ of\ N_2}*100 \\ \\mole\ percentage\ of\ O_2 = \frac{0.25}{0.25+0.25} *100=\boxed{50}

Why does coconut oil become solid during winter season ?

Answer» Coconut oil CONTAINS saturated hydrocarbons which contain single carbon- carbon bond.
The melting point of coconut oil is ≈24⁰c.

If melting point of any substance is higher than the ROOM temperature than it exist as solid but if its melting point  is less than room temperature than it exist as liquid.

In WINTER season, room temperature will DROP down ALMOST below 20°c which is less than the melting point of coconut oil and thus coconut oil exist as solid in winter season.
10.

Compounds such as alcohols and glucose contain hydrogen but are not categorized as acids describe an activity to prove it.

Answer»

Compounds like alcohol and glucose contain H but it doesn't DISSOCIATE into H^+. So it is not an acid.

Activity:
TAKE two blue litmus paper. Dip them into glucose solution and the alcohol. You will notice that there is no change in colour of the blue litmus paper. This SHOWS that they are not acids. 

If they were acids, then the blue litmus paper would have CHANGED to red.

11.

Calculate the R M S speed of nitrogen molecules at 27϶C

Answer»

We have R.M.S
μ = (3RT/M)^{1/2} in this M = MOLAR mass
And in the case of Nitrogen GAS, T = 27 + 273 = 300 K.R = 8.314 (kg m^{2}s^{2} )/ K mol

Since molar mass of Nitrogen gas = 28 gm/mol = 2.8 x 10^{-2} kg/mol
Hence μ = (3RT/M)^{1/2} = [ 3 x 8.314 x 300 / 2.8 x 10^{-2} ]]^{1/2} = [267235.7]^{1/2} = 516.9m/s

So the r.m SPEED for oxygen gas at 0°C (273K) = 516.9 m/s

Explain the cleaning action of soap?

Answer»

Soap helps insoluble particles to become SOLUBLE in water. It makes the cleaning easy. Oil or fats are insoluble in water.
Soap molecules has two parts- the polar head and the non-polar long hydrocarbon tail. The polar part is associated with the water .The insoluble oil/fat molecules become associated inside the micelle formed by soap molecules with polar hydrophilic (water-loving) GROUPS on the outside and encasing a hydrophobic (water-hating) pocket. The fat molecules are ATTACHED to the micelle which shields the oil/fat molecules from the water making it soluble. Once the dirt or fat molecules are DISSOLVED in water, it can be rinsed away easily.

18.

both helium and beryllium have two electrons in the valence shell. helium is a noble gas whereas beryllium is a metal. justify

Answer»

Helium has 2 electrons in the first shell which can accomodate a maximum of 2 electrons. As the shell is completely FILLED, Helium is STABLE.
Beryllium has 2 electrons in the second shell which can accomodate a maximum of 8 electrons. As the shell is not completely filled, Beryllium is not stable.
Beryllium can lose two electrons to get a stable noble GAS CONFIGURATION. Thus it has an electron DONATING nature. Hence it behaves as a metal.

19.

Verify the following:a) 5 moles of carbon dioxide and 5 moles of water do not have same mass. b) 240g of calcium and 240g of magnesium elements have a mole ratio 3:5

Answer» PLEASE read this answer after reading my answers of other questions on mole concept asked by you.

a) Mass of 5 moles of CO2 = 44*5 = 220 grams
Mass of 5 moles of WATER = 18*5 = 90 grams, which are not equal.

b) Molar mass of calcium = 40 grams
Moles of calcium in 240 grams = 240/40 = 6
Molar mass of MAGNESIUM = 24 g
Moles of magnesium in 240 grams = 240/24 = 10
Ratio = 6:10 or 3:5

write the advantages and disadvantages of mendeleev's periodic table and modern periodic table with examples.

Answer»

Advantage:
       This table was helpful in the prediction of properties of elements as there was a regular gradation in properties of elements across periods and GROUPS. The group numbers of the periodic table indicates the highest oxidation state of elements. Mendeleev’s left some vacant positions which LATER filled with newly discovered elements. These vacant positions provided the idea about the chemical and physical properties of those new elements. For example Eka-Boron,
Eka-Aluminium and Eka-silicone were later discovered as Sc, Ga and Ge respectively

Disadvantage:
         
the isotopes and no SEPARATE position also as they have different atomic mass but same atomic number. Since the CHANGE in atomic mass of two successive elements was not constant therefore it was difficult to predict the number of missing elements with the help of atomic number only. 
         
the atomic masses of all elements were not KNOWN therefore it was difficult to place the correct element in proper group of the periodic table such as Mendeleev’s placed iodine after tellurium and potassium and Ni after Co which was not following the periodic law but was following the order of properties

How to find the power or valency of the compound C6H12O6+HCL?explain​

Answer»

Answer:

SO4 has a valency of 2 . To find its valency ,I can ADVICE you 2 ways which I often use are:

a•SO4 is an anion which has came from an acid H2SO4, in which hydrogen as always has valency 1. SINCE hydrogen is more electro+ve than SO4,its oxidation no. will be +1. So by using this information we can find oxidation no. of SO4.

Let x be oxidation no. of SO4. Since, the sum of oxidation NOS. will be zero, so equating it with zero:

2×H+1×SO4=0

2×1+1×x=0

x=-2Which is the oxidation no. of SO4.

This IMPLIES that it has valency 2.

-100ml of ethylalcohol is made upto alitre with distilled water. If the density ofC2H5OH is 0.46 gr/ml. then its molality is​

Answer»

Answer:

10/9 m

Explanation:

Mass of ETHANOL = Volume × Density

= 100 ml × 0.46 g/ml

= 46 g

Moles of ethanol = Mass / Molar mass

= 46 g / (46 g/MOL)

= 1 mol

Volume of water in the solution = 900 ml

Density of water = 1 g/ml

Mass of water = Volume × Density

= 900 ml × 1 g/ml

= 900 g

= 0.9 kg

Molality = Moles of solute / kg of solvent

= Moles of Ethanol / (kg of water)

= 1 mol / (0.9 kg)

= 10/9 m

46.

. 100ml of ethylalcohol is made upto alitre with distilled water. If the density ofC,H,OH is 0.46 gr/ml. then its molality is​

Answer»

Answer:

10/9 m

Explanation:

MASS of ethanol = VOLUME × DENSITY

= 100 ml × 0.46 g/ml

= 46 g

Moles of ethanol = Mass / Molar mass

= 46 g / (46 g/mol)

= 1 mol

Volume of water in the solution = 900 ml

Density of water = 1 g/ml

Mass of water = Volume × Density

= 900 ml × 1 g/ml

= 900 g

= 0.9 KG

Molality = Moles of solute / kg of SOLVENT

= Moles of Ethanol / (kg of water)

= 1 mol / (0.9 kg)

= 10/9 m
