What is meant by 22 carat gold in terms of percentage purity?

Answer»

Solution :24 carat gold is CONSIDERED to have 999.99 parts of gold per 1000 g. THEREFORE, one carat is taken as one part of 24. That means 22 carat gold is 22 parts per 24 parts. Accordingly, parts of gold in 1000 g of 22 carat gold can be calculated. From this, percentage can be FOUND out.
Amount of gold in 1000 g of 22 carat gold= `22/24 xx 1000 =916.3` g
Percentage of gold= 91.6%.

Write the limitations of Mendeleev's classification.

Answer»

Solution :The limitations of Mendeleev.s classification of elements are as follows:
(1) Position of HYDROGEN in periodic table :
Electronic configuration of hydrogen resembles with alkali METALS.
Like alkali metals, hydrogen combines with halogens, oxygen and sulphur to form compounds having similar formulae.
For example,

Hence, many PROPERTIES of hydrogen are similar to those of alkali metals, so it should be placed along with alkali metals of group IA.
Just like halogens `(F_(2),Cl_(2),Br_(2),I_(2))`, hydrogen also exists as a diatomic molecule `(H_(2))`.
Hydrogen combines with metals and non-metals to form covalent compounds.

Therefore, many properties of hydrogen are similar to those of halogens, hence it can be placed in halogen group.
In short, position of hydrogen in the periodic table is a matter of controversy.
( 2 ) Position of isotopes :
Isotopes were discovered long after Mendeleev gave his periodic classification of elements.
Isotopes : Atoms of the same element having same atomic number but different atomic masses are known as isotopes.
Isotopes of any element have similar chemical properties, but different atomic masses.
Thus, isotopes of all elements posed a challenge to Mendeleev.s periodic table.
Therefore, the placing of isotopes in distinguishable positions in the periodic table BECOME almost impossible.
(3) Irregularities of atomic masses of elements :
Atomic masses do not increase in a regular manner in moving from one element to NEXT element. So it was difficult to predict that how many element would be discovered between two elements.
543.
