What is smog? How is classical smog different from photochemical smogs? |
|
Answer» Solution :The word smog is derived from smoke and fog. This is the most COMMON example of air pollution that occurs in many cities throughout the world. There are TWO types of smog: - (i) Classical smog : This type of smog occurs in cool humid climate. It is a mixture of smoke, fog and sulphur dioxide. It is ALSO called as reducing smog because it is chemically reducing mixture. (ii) Photochemical smog : This type of smog occurs in WARM, dry and sunny climate. It is produce due to the action sunlight on unsaturated HYDROCARBONS and nitrogen dioxide produced by automobiles and factories. It is also called as oxidising smog because it has high concentration of oxidising agent. |

What is meant by chirality of a compound? Give one example. |
Answer» SOLUTION :A compound is said to be chiral if it exists in TWO stereoisomeric forms which are non-superimposable MIRROR images of each other. This property of non-superimposability is called chirality and the two COMPOUNDS which are non-superimposable mirror images of each other are called enantiomers. For example, butan-2-ol is a chiral compound because it exists in two STEREOISOMERS which are non-superimposable mirror images of each other. |

When 4.2 g of sodium bicarbonate are added to a solution of acetic acid weighing 10.0 g, it is observed that 2.2 g of carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere. The residue left is found to weigh 12.0 g. Show that these observations are in agreement with the law of conservation of mass. |
|
Answer» Solution :Sodium bicarbonate `(NaHCO_3)` reacts with acetic acid (`CH_3COOH`) according to the FOLLOWING equation. `UNDERSET(4.2 g)(NaHCO_(3)) + underset(10.0g)(CH_(3)COOH) to underset("Residue" 12.0g)(CH_(3)COONa+ H_(2)O) + underset(2.2 g)(CO_(2))` The total mass of the reactants `(NaHCO_(3) + CH_(3)COOH) = 4.2+ 10.0 = 14.2 g` The total mass of products `(CH_(3)COONa + H_(2)O + CO_(2)) = 12.0 + 2.2 = 14.2 g` Since, the total mass of the products is the same as that of the reactants, the observations are in agreement with the LAW of conservation of mass. |

What is dipole moment (mu) of bond ? Explain by example. |
|
Answer» Solution :Polar bonding : As a result of polarization, the molecule possesses the dipole MOMENT. The dipole moment is defined as the product of the magnitude of the charge (Q) and the distance between the centres of POSITIVE and negative charge. " Mathematically : `mu = Q xx r ` Where, Q = charge on atom in coulomb r = Distance between to centre in METER. `mu` = Dipole moment in Debye units and ` D = 3.33564 xx 10^(-30)` cm Bond dipole moment express method : Dipole moment is a vector quantity and by convention. It is depicted by a small arrow `rarr` with tail on the negative centre `LARR` and head pointing towards the positive centre. In chemistry presence of dipole moment is represented by the CROSSED arrow `(rarr)` put on Lewis structure of the molecule. the cross in on positive and find arrow head is on negative end. For example the dipole moment of HF may be represented as e.g., `underset("Polarity in bond")(H^(delta+)) - F^(delta-) "So"Hunderset("polarity in bond") overset(rarr)(-)underset(..)overset(..)(F):`
