During neutralisation of an acid by a base, the end point refers for the completion of reaction. The detection of end point in acid -base neutralisation is usually made by an acid-base indicator. An acid-base indicator is itself a weak acid (Phenolphthlein) or a weak base (Mrthyl orange). At about 50% ionisation which depends on the medium, the anion furnished by an indicator (acid) or cation furnished by indicator (basic) imparts its characteristic colour to solution at point. For example phenolphthalein, the dissociation is underset("Colourless")(H In hArr H^(+))+underset("Pink")(In^(-)), K_(H In)= ([H^(+)][In^(-)])/([H In]) favoured in presence of alkali and pink colour of phenolphalein ion is noticed as soon as the medium changes to alkaline nature. The end point of acid-base neutralisation not necessarily coincides with equivalent point but it is closer and closer to equivalence point. Also at equivalence point of acid-base neutralisation pH is not necessarliy equal to 7. The indicator phenolphalein is a tautomeric mixture of two forms as given below: Which of the following statements are correct ? (1) The form I is referred as quinonoid form and is deeper in colour (2) The form I is referred as quinonoid form and is lighter in colour (3) The form II is more stable in alkaline solution (4) The change in pH form acidic to alkaline solution brings in the more and more conversion of I form to II form (5) The form I is more stable in acidic medium |

During hearing a court case, the judge suspected that some changes in the original documents has been deliberately made. He asked the forensic department to check the ink used at two different places. After reading the above passage, answer the following questions : (i) What technique do you think can be ued to ascertain whether the ink used at two places was the same or different ? (ii) What is the principle of this technique appiled ? |
|
Answer» Solution :(i) This layer chromatography (TLC) can be used to identify the components in a small sample such as ink. (ii) This technique is based upon the principle of adsorption. To carry out this technique, a glass or a PLASTIC side coated with a suitable adsorbent usually silica GEL is taken. Two pencil lines are DRAWN on this plate-one little above the BOTTON and the other near the top of the plate. With the help of a suitable solvent, the samples of ink used at two different places are applied on the pencil line near the botom of the TLC plate little away from each other. The plate is then placed in a closed jar containing a suitable solvent and allowed to stay till the solvent reaches the top pencil line. The plate is then removed from the jar and dried in air. If both the samplex of ink show a single SPOT on the plate at the same height from the bottom then the same ink is used and if single spots are either seen at different heights or one sample shows a single spot while the other sample shows two or more spots, then different inks are used. |

During estimation of nitrogen present in an organic compound by Kjeldhal's method, the ammonia evolved from 0.5 g of the compound neutralized 10 mL of 1 M H_(2)SO_(4). Find the percentage of nitrogen in the compound. |
|
Answer» SOLUTION :Volume of `H_(2)SO_(4)` used = 10 mL of `1 M H_(2)SO_(4)` Now`H_(2)SO_(4) + 2NH_(3) rarr (NH_(4))_(2)SO_(4)` Now 1 mole of `H_(2)SO_(4)` reacts with 2 moles of `NH_(3)`. `:.` 1- mL of `1M H_(2)SO_(4) -= 20 mL` of `1 M NH_(3)` Now 1000 mL of `1 M NH_(3)` contains `N = 14 g :. 20 mL` of `1 M NH_(3)` will contain `N =(14)/(1000) xx 20` But this amount of nitrogen is present in 0.5 g of the organic compound. `:.` Percentage of nitrogen `= (14 xx 20)/(1000) xx (100)/(0.5) = 56.0`. Alternatively, % age of `N = (1.4 xx "Vol. of acid used" xx "BASICITY of acid" xx "Molarity of acid")/("Mass of the SUBSTANCE taken") = (1.4 xx 10 xx 2 xx 1)/(0.5) = 56.0` |

During an educational trip, a student of botany saw a beautiful lake in a village. She collected man plants from that area. She noticed that villagers were washing clothes around the lake and at some places waste material from houses was destroying its beauty. After few years, she visited the same lake again. She was surprised to find that the lake was covered with algae, stinking smell was coming out and its water has become unusable. Can you explain the reason for this condition of the lake ? |
| Answer» Solution :The inflow of the WASTE material from houses and fertilizers of the plants and the entry of detergents into Water results in the INCREASE of phosphate into water. As a result, formation of algae is accelerated which covers the water surface and CONCENTRATION of DISSOLVED oxygen decreases, i.e. process called eutrophication OCCURS | |

She was surprised to find that the lake was covered with algae, stinking smell was coming out and its water had become unusable. Can you explain the reason for this condition of the lake ? |
|
Answer» Solution :Disposing of waste material and washing clothes in lake WATER makes the water rich in nutrients like PHOSPHATE. It enhances algae growth. Such profuse algal growth COVERS the water surface which reduces oxygen concen-tration in water. This lead to anaerobic conditions with accumulation of dead and decaying water animals, THUS, leaving the water with stinking smell and making it unusable. |
