Summerize primary information about water pollution. |
|
Answer» Solution :Water is ESSENTIAL for life. Without water there would be no life. We usually take water as granted for its purity, but we must ensure the quality of water. Pollution of water originates from human activities. Pollution reaches SURFACE or ground water through different paths. Easily identified SOURCE or place of pollution is called as point source. e.g., municipal and industrial discharge pipes. A source of sources of pollution are those where a source of pollution cannot be easily identified, e.g., agricultural run off (from farm, animals and crop-lands), acid rain, storm-water drainage (from STREETS, parking lots and lawns), etc. The major water pollutants and their sources are listed below :

Summarize the quantities and differentiated quantities of different metals and ions at the international level of drinking water. |
|
Answer» Solution :The international standards for drinking water are given below: (i) Fluoride : Fluoride ion concentration should be tested in drinking water. Its deficiency in drinking water is harmful to man and causes diseases such as tooth decay etc. Soluble fluoride is often added to drinking water to bring its concentration upto 1 ppm or 1 MG `DM^(-3)` . The `F^(-)` ions MAKE the enamel on teeth much harder by converting hydroxyapatite, `[3(Ca_3 PO_4)_2 Ca(OH)_2]`, the enamel on the surface of the teeth, into much harder fluorapatite `[3 (Ca_3 PO_4)_2. CaF_2]`. If `F^(-)` ion concentration above 2 ppm causes brown mottling of teeth. Whereas if `F^(-)` ion concentration is more than 10 ppm it causes harmful effect to bones and teeth. It is reported from some parts of Rajasthan. (ii) Lead : Drinking water gets contaminated with lead when lead pipes are used for transportation of water. The prescribed upper limit concentration of lead is about 50 ppb lead can damage kidney, liver, reproductive system etc. (iii) Sulphate : Excessive sulphate (`gt` 500 ppm) in drinking water causes laxative effect, otherwise at moderate levels it is harmless. (iv) Nitrate : The maximum limit of nitrate in drinking water is 50 ppm. Excess nitrate in drinking water can cause DISEASE like methemoglobinemia (blue baby. SYNDROME). (v)Other metals : The maximum concentration of some common metals recommended in drinking water. Which are given in table.

Sulphurtrioxide is prepared by following two reaction : (i) Cu_(2)S + O_(2) rarr Cu_(2) O + SO_(2) (ii) 2SO_(2) + O_(2) rarr 2SO_(3) How many gramSO_(3) of are produced from 159 g of Cu_(2)S (Atomic mass of Cu = 63.5, S = 32, O = 16 g/mole) |
|
Answer» Solution :(i) `Cu_(2)S + O_(2) rarr Cu_(2) O + SO_(2)` Mw.of `Cu_(2)S= 159` g/mole So, 159 g `Cu_(2)S` willproduce 1 mole of `SO_(2)(64 g SO_(2))` (ii) `2SO_(2) + O_(2) rarr 2SO_(3)` `128 g SO_(2)` will produce `160 g SO_(3)` `:.64 g SO_(2)` will produce `80 g SO_(3)` |

Sulphuricacid reacts with sodium hydroxide as follows : H_(2)SO_(4) + 2NaOH rarr Na_(2)SO_(4) +2H_(2)O When 1 L of 0.1M sulphuric acid solution is allowed to react with 1L of 0.1 M sodium hydroxide solution, the amount of sodium sulphate formed and its molarity in the solution obtained is |
|
Answer» 0.1 mol `L^(-1)` `H_(2)SO_(4) +2NaOH rarr Na_(2)SO_(4) +2H_(2)O` 1 L of 0.1M `H_(2)SO_(4)` contains `=0.1` mole of `H_(2)SO_(4)` 1 L of 0.1 M NaOH contains `=0.1` mole of `H_(2)SO_(4)` ACCORDING to the reaction, 1 mole of `H_(2)SO_(4)` reacts with 2 MOLES of NaOH will react with 0.5 mole `H_(2)SO_(4)` and 0.05 mole of `H_(2)SO_(4)` will remain unreacted i.e., NaOH is the limiting reactant. Since, 2 moles of NaOH produces 1 mole of `Na_(2)SO_(4)`. Hence, 0.1 mole of NaOH will produce 0.05 mole of `Na_(2)SO_(4)`. Mass of `Na_(2)SO_(4) = "moles" xx "molar mass"` `= 0.5xx(46+32+64)g` `= 7.10g` Volume of solution after mixing `=2L` Since, only 0.05 mole of `H_(2)SO_(4)` is left behind as NaOH completely used in this reaction. Therefore, molarity of the given solution is calculated from moles of `H_(2)SO_(4)`. `H_(2)SO_(4)` left unreacted in the solution `= 0.05` mole Molarity of the solution `= (0.5)/(2) = 0.025 "mol" L^(-1)` |
