10 examples of spontaneous combustion

Answer»

Haypiles and compost piles may self-ignite because of heatproduced by bacterial fermentation.Linseed oil in a partially confined space can oxidizeleading to a build-up of heat and thus ignition.COAL can ignite spontaneously when exposed to OXYGEN whichcauses it to react and heat up when there is insufficient VENTILATION forcooling.Pyrite oxidation is often the cause of coal spontaneousignition in old Mine tailings.Pistachio nuts are highly flammable when STORED in largequantities, and are prone to self-heating and spontaneous combustion.Large MANURE piles can spontaneously combust duringconditions of extreme heat.Cotton and linen. When these materials come into contactwith polyunsaturated vegetable oils (linseed, massage oils), bacteria slowlydecompose the materials, producing heat. If these materials are stored in a wayso the heat cannot escape, the heat build-up increases the rate ofdecomposition and thus the rate of heat build-up increases. Once ignitiontemperature is reached, combustion occurs.

The half life period of an isotope is 2 hours. After 6 hours what fraction of the initial quantity of the isotope will be left behind?

Answer»

Now the half life of the isotope is given 2 hours. After 6 hours the no of half lives will be 3.

So the The AMOUNT of radioactive isotope remaining can be calculated as:

Nt = No X 1/2^n where, Nt is the amount of RADIO isotope remaining. No is the original amount of radio isotope.

N is the no of half lives.

Now let the original amount of isotope is one, then by using the formula we can calculate the remaining of isotope as:

Nt = 1x1/2^3

= 1x1/8

= 1/8

Explain the cleansing action of soap/detergents. (class 10)

Answer»

Soap and DETERGENTS help 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 long hydrocarbon tail. 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, 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.

28 g of N2 and 6 gm of H2 were kept at400 in 1L vessel , the equillibrium mixturecontained 27.54g of NH3 . The approximate value of Kc forthe above reaction can be

Answer» initial number of mole of
H2 = 6/2 = 3 moles
N2 = 28/28 = 1 moles

  
   initial number of moles:                      1        3          0
                                                         N2 + 3H2 ⇔  2NH3
at EQUILIBRIUM number of moles:          1-x      3-3x      2X  

at equilibrium number of mole of NH3 = 27.54/17 = 1.62
                 2x = 1.62
                   x = 0.81
at equilibrium number of mole of N2 = 1 - 0.81 = 0.19
at equilibrium number of mole of H2 = 3(1 - 0.81) = 0.57
equilibrium concentration of
N2 = 0.19/1 = 0.19M
H2 = 0.57/1 = 0.57M
NH3 = 1.62/1 = 1.62M
equilibrium constant Kc = [NH3]² / {[N2]*[H2]³}
                             Kc = 1.62² / (0.19*0.57³)
                             Kc = 2.6244 / 0.0352
                             Kc ≈ 74.6

Class XII problemAlcohols easily Protonated than phenols

Answer»

Protonation refers to addition of H+ to oxygen of OH group. It is easier when O has more electron density, i.e. when nucleophilic character of O is more.
In alcohols the electron density on oxygen is HIGH DUE to localization of its lone pair and electron donating nature of alkyl group. So their protonation is easy.
However in phenols, the lone pair of oxygen is in resonance with the BENZENE RING and thus is delocalized. So protonation of phenols is DIFFICULT.

Dry hydrogen chloride gas does not effect a dry strip of blue litmus paper but it turns red in the presence of a drop of water ?

Answer»

Any acid is said to be an acid if  there is a proton acceptor to accept the proton donated by the acid. Since water ACCEPTS a proton to FORM a hydronium ion, the acid is ionized.
A DRY strip of litmus and dry HCl in gaseous form do not contain water so HCl does not ionize, but in PRESENCE of a DROP of water, HCl is ionized and releases a proton which turns blue litmus red.

Metal highly malleable and ductile

Answer»

Malleability is a characteristic of materials that allow them to deform under compressive stress. Malleable materials can be formed into very thin sheets by rolling or hammering them. Of all materials METALS have a very high malleability. Even among metals the malleability changes is DIFFERENT for various metals. Metal like silver, gold and aluminum top the list.

And the most malleable metal is gold. A single gram of gold can be beaten into a sheet that has an area of 1 square meter. A sheet of gold can be so thin has is translucent. This makes t useful in many applications, like shielding from harmful radiation, in jewelry, etc
&
Malleability refers to the the property of many metals which ALLOWS them to be deformed easily by hammering or pressing. the most malleable metal is gold. It can be hammered into thin foils only 0.0025 millimetre thick

Other malleable metals, arranged from high to low malleability are silver, lead, copper, aluminium, tin, platinum, zinc, iron and NICKEL.

A characteristics of metals closely, but not precisely, related to malleability is ductility. Metals that are malleable are also ductile. The most ductile metals listed in order of their malleability are gold, silver, platinum, iron, nickel, copper, aluminium, zinc, tin and lead.
