Answer»

No  fuels can't be OBTAIN in LABORATORY or something as it REQUIRES lot of heaat , temperature and PRESSURE since they are obtained from ancient plants so it requires time..........lot of time

2.

Class XII problemHow can you distinguish between benzylchloride and p- chloro toluene?

Answer»

Benzyl chloride is an ALIPHATIC chloride, UNLIKE p-chlorotoluene which is an aromatic chloride. So benzyl chloride will give AgNO3 TEST (FORM white ppt.) while p-chlorotoluene will not give AgNO3 test.

3.

Class XII problemDifferentiation of Ethanol and Phenol

Answer»

Phenol turns blue LITMUS RED DUE to its slightly BASIC nature. Ethanol fails to do so.
Phenol reacts with NaOH, but ethanol does not do so.

Class XII problemwhy p-dichlorobenzene has higher boiling point & lower solubility than ortho & meta dichlorobenzene?

Answer»

P-dichlorobenzene SHOWS intermolecular hydrogen BONDING DUE to which its molecules are strongly attracted to each other. Thus its boiling point increases. It has lower SOLUBILITY because to be soluble it has to break its hydrogen bonds and form NEW hydrogen bonds with water which is not feasible.

About bhors and rutherford models of an atom

Answer» Bohr's model:  
                     
In  1913 Bohr proposed his quantized shell model of the atom to EXPLAIN how ELECTRONS can have stable orbits around the NUCLEUS. The motion of the electrons in the Rutherford model was unstable because, according to classical mechanics and electromagnetic theory, any charged particle moving on a curved path emits electromagnetic radiation; thus, the electrons would lose ENERGY and spiral into the nucleus. To remedy the stability problem, Bohr modified the Rutherford model by requiring that the electrons move in orbits of fixed size and energy. The energy of an electron depends on the size of the orbit and is lower for smaller orbits. Radiation can occur only when the electron jumps from one orbit to another. The atom will be completely stable in the state with the smallest orbit, since there is no orbit of lower energy into which the electron can jump.
Rutherford model: 
                            
By 1911 the components of the atom had been DISCOVERED. The atom consisted of subatomic particles called protons and electrons. However, it was not clear how these protons and electrons were arranged within the atom. J.J. Thomson suggested the"plum pudding" model. In this model the electrons and protons are uniformly mixed throughout the atom:

The smell does not reach at the same time because smell is transferred by DIFFUSION of GASES which is fast but not INSTANTANEOUS.

20.

Sponge can be compressed is it a solid why? why dont you be able to compress a wooden block

Even though SPONGE is a solid, there exist holes in the sponge in which AIR is PRESENT. When sponge is compressed, this air is expelled. The PARTICLES of sponge are compressed to a very small extent.

21.

Take some finely powdered salt not crystals and keep it in 2 different jars .which shape does the powdered salt take?can you say salt as a liquid based on its change in shape?

Answer»

The powdered salt particles take the SHAPE of the jar.
We cannot say that salt is a liquid BASED on this CHANGE as the individual particles of salt are not compressed or expanded by PUTTING it into the jar.

22.

Let us strech a rubber band is there any change its shape is it solid or liquid why?

Answer» Solids usually don't change shape.
But rubber band being a solid changes shape only when external force is APPLIED on it.
But in the ABSENCE of force it retains to its original position.
And so rubber band is a solid.

It is similar to a balloon which BULGES in case of external force applied and then retains it original shape when external force is removed. 
23.

Among HCL and NH₃ how to know which gas travelled fast

Answer»

Rate at which GASES travel are inversely proportional to their molecular mass,
More the molecular mass, less will be its rate of diffusion.

Rate\ \alpha\  \frac{1}{molar\ mass}

molar mass of HCL = 36.5g
mole mass of NH₃ = 17g

Since NH₃ has lower molecular mass, it will travel FASTER. The distance travelled by it will ALSO be higher than that of HCl.

24.

Why do we wrap a blanket around a person whose clothes have caught fire?

Answer»

All together for a fire to consume, each of the three components of the fire triangle must be available: heat, fuel, and oxygen. 
Heat is a type of energy that can be exchanged starting with one protest then onto the next or even made to the expense of the loss of different types of vitality. 
A fuel is any material that can be made to respond to different substances so it discharges compound or atomic energy as heat or to be utilized for work. 
Oxygen is a dry, unscented gas. It is a substantial component and you can discover it on the periodic table with the nuclear NUMBER 8. 
On the off chance that anybody has removed the fire will be put out. As the fire blanket totally surrounds the individual whose clothes caught fire, it seals the individual's body surface around the fire and remove's the oxygen SUPPLY to the fire, along these lines putting it out. Henceforth fire blanket goes about as a fire extinguisher and PREVENTS the fire from spreading.

25.

Answer» HCL gas soluble in ETHANOL, METHANOL, ethaer and ALSO in water.
27.

Why are zinc ores and sulphide ores concentrated by froath flotation?

Answer»

The principle of froth FLOATATION is the preferential wetting (dissolving) of ore and gangue particles by water and pine OIL. The ore is preferentially WETTED by pine oil and the gangue is wetted by water. They can then be SEPARATED as the ore with the pine oil rises to the SURFACE.

28.

32.

1Why does the bond angle in water is 104 31` basing on VSEPRT?

Answer»

In water, the central atom, oxygen has two bond pairs and two lone pairs. Thus, it should have a bent shape (please comment if you have any doubts REGARDING this). The bond ANGLE should be 109.5 degrees, but the bond angle decreases DUE to REPULSION between lone pairs and bond pair-lone pair repulsion.

Note - To understand this answer, you should be clear in the basics of VSEPR theory. If you have any doubts, ask in the comments.

41.

Having seen formula of any compound can we identity that it has ionic or covalent bond?

Answer»

From the formula of the compound it may not be possible to KNOW that the bond present in a compound is ionic or covalent.

H2 O,   Cl2  ,   Na Cl ,   K F,  K Cl ,  B F3,   H Cl ,  Na OH, O2,  O3,  Fe O2, Si O2,  CO2,  

From the nature of the elements (or functional groups or radicals) inside the compound, we may be ABLE identify the nature of the bonds.
 
Where METALS are present, usually they are ionic bonds.  Where there are Cl, F or OH elements present they are likely to be ionic bonds.  We come to know from this nature only after STUDYING a lot of the compounds and properties of elements and their relative electronegativity.

42.

How will you convert benzamide into aniline

Answer» 1) aniline -> benzamide
diazotize the aniline and trap out with CO2 to form benzonic acid, then make an amide. probably easiest way is to make the acid chloride with (COCI)2 and then TREAT with NH3.
43.

Does hydrogen has the lowest ignition temperature

Answer»

No. Hydrogen does not have the lowest ignition temperature.  There are natural GAS and many other fuels and materials which ignite at much LESS temperatures.
like KEROSENE, PETROL for example.
  Hydrogen ignites at 400 or 500 deg C.

The fuel weight, calorific value, oxygen required, ignition temperature, cost, availability, danger safety measures etc. are decision parameters for hydrogen to be chosen for ignition.
