The salt KHC_(2)O_(4)H_(2)C_(2)O_(4).4H_(2)Omay be used as reducing agent as well as an acid. Choose thecorrect option (S):

Answer»

The equivalent weight of the salt is 72.5 g-`"equivalent"^(-1)`, when reacted with acidified `KMnO_4`SOLUTION.
The equivalent weight of the salt is 145 g-`"equivalent"^(-1)` , when reacted with NaOH solution,
The volume of `CO_2`liberated at STP by 1 g of salt when reacted with excess of acidified `KMnO_4`is 309 ml.
The number of ionizable HYDROGEN ion is one.

Solution :With `KMnO_4`the given salt act as reducing agent . So for each oxalate ion it.s n-factor is 2. So total salt n-factor is 4 and Oxalate ion releases `CO_2`When it reacts with NaOH, it SHOWS acidic nature. The salt has basicity 3.

What wil be the products of electrolysis of an aqueous solution of AgNO_(3) with silver electrodes ?

Answer»

AG from Ag anode dissolves while `Ag^(+)` from solution gets deposited on cathode.
Ag is liberated at cathode and `O_(2)` isliberated at anode.
Ag at cathode and nitric acid at anode is liberated.
No reaction takes place.

Solution :`AgNO_(3)RARR Ag^(+)+NO_(3)^(-)` (AQUEOUS solution)
At cathode : `Ag_((aq))^(+)+e^(-)rarr Ag, E^(@)=+0.80 V`
`2H_(2)O_((l))+2e rarr H_(2)+2OH^(-), E^(@)=-0.83 V`
Since reduction potential of `Ag^(+)` is higher than `H_(2)O`, `Ag^(+)` are REDUCED to Ag.
At anode :
`Ag rarr Ag_((aq))^(+) + e^(-), E^(@)=-0.80 V`
`2H_(2)O rarr O_(2)+4H^(-)+4e^(-), E^(@)= - 1.23 V`
Since oxidation potential of Ag is higher than `H_(2)O`, Ag of SILVER anode is oxidised. Theoxidation potential of `NO_(3)^(-)` is lower than `H_(2)O`.

What are pesticides and herbicides? Explain giving examples

Answer»

SOLUTION :Pesticides. These are synthetic toxic chemicals which are used in agriculture to control the damages caused by insects, RODENTS, weeds and various crop diseases. Their repeated use gives rise to pests that are resistant to that group of pesticides. As a result, these pesticides become ineffective for these pests.
Earlier DDT was used. As insect resistance towards DDT INCREASED, other organic toxins such as Aldrin and Dieldrin were introduced for use as pesticides. But these were non-biodegradable and slowly TRANSFERRED to human being through food chain causing metabolic and physiological DISORDERS Consequently, a new series of pesticides, organophosphates and carbamates have been introduced These are biodegradable but are severe nerve toxins and hence more harmful to humans and have caused even deaths, Thus, the insecticide industry is engaged in developing new insecticides
Herbicides. These are the chemicals used to control weeds. Earlier, inorganic compounds such as sodium chlorate `(NaCIO_3)` and sodium arsenite `(Na_3AsO_3)` were used but arsenic compounds, being toxic to mammals, are no longer preferred. Instead, organic compounds such as triazines are now considered as better herbicides, especially for the corn-fields

What is structural isomerism ? Give two isomers of chain isomerism of alkane.

Answer»

Solution :* Structural isomers : Compounds having same molecular formula but different structural arrangement is known to be structural isomers. This phenomenon is known as structural isomerism.
* Branched isomers (Chain isomers) : If two or more compounds having same molecular formula but the carbon chain structures are different such compounds are known as chain isomers and this is known as chain isomers and this is known as chain isomerism. Having more than three carbon alkanes havechain isomerism.
EXAMPLE -1 : Butane has 2 structural isomers. (i) n-butane can be joined either in a CONTINUOUS chain or with a branched chain. (ii) Isobutane shows branched structure.
(i) n-butane : `H-UNDERSET(H)underset(|)OVERSET(H)overset(|)(C)-underset(H)underset(|)overset(H)overset(|)(C)-underset(H)underset(|)overset(H)overset(|)(C)-underset(H)underset(|)overset(H)overset(|)(C)-H`
