Write the drawbacks in Mendeleev's periodic table that led to its modification.

Answer»

Solution :Draw backs of Mendeleev.s PERIODIC tables are,
(i) Elements having SIMILAR properties are placed in different groups whereas some elements having different properties are placed in the same group. e.g., alkali metals such as Li, Na, K, etc., (IA group) are grouped together with coinage metals such as Cu, Ag, AU (IB group) though their properties are quite different. Chemically similar elements such as Cu (IB group) and Hg (IIB group) have been placed in different groups. (ii) Elements having higher ATOMIC weight are placed before the elements with lower atomic weights in order to maintain the same chemical nature of elements.
`""_(18)^(39).9Ar and ""_(19)^(39.1)K, ""_(27)^(58.9) CO and ""_(28)^(58.9)Ni etc`
(iii) Isotopes donot find any place in the periodic table. Now, according to Mendeleev.s classification explained, they should be placed at different places in the periodic table.
(IV) Position of hydrogen is controversial in the periodic table.
(v) Elements of group (VIII) position are not made clear which can be arranged in three triads without any justification.
(vi) Even and odd series in IV, V and VI long periods it could not be explain.
(vii) Lanthanides and actinides are not discovered later on, the position in the main frame is not be given proper in the periodic table

Thiosulphate reacts differently with iodine and bromine in the reactions given below 2S_(2)O_(3)^(-2)+I_(2)toS_(4)O_(6)^(-2)+2I^(-) 2S_(2)O_(3)^(-2)+2Br_(2)+5H_(2)Oto2SO_(4)^(-2)+2Br^(-)+10H^(+) Which of the following statements justifies the above dual behaviour of thiosulphate ?

Answer»

Bromine is stronger oxidants than iodine.
Bromine is weaker OXIDANT than iodine.
Thiosulphate undergoes oxidation by bromine and reduction by iodine in these reactions.
Bromine undergoes oxidation and iodine undergoes reduction in these reactions.

Solution :Because `I_(2)` is OXIDISING `S_(2)O_(3)^(-2)` into `S_(4)O_(6)^(-2)`. White `Br_(2)` is oxidising `S_(2)O_(3)^(-2)` into `SO_(4)^(-2)`.

What will be the density of carbon dioxide at 100^@C and 800 mm Hg pressure ?

Answer»


Solution :The molecular mass of `CO_2 = 12 + (2 XX 16) = 44`.
In the present case, `P = 800 " mm Hg " = 800/760 = 1.053` atm

What efforts are being made by the government to save the Taj Mahal ?

Answer»

Solution :The government of India announced an action plan NAMED .Taj Trapezium. in 1995 to prevent the Taj Mahal. This plan aims at clearing the air of the NEARED city or towns of Taj Mahal.
Under this plan more than 2000 polluting industries dying inside the Trapezium would switch over to the use of natural GAS or liquefied petroleum gas instead of coal or oil.
A new natural gas pipeline would bring more than half a million cubic metres of natural gas a DAY to this area.
People living in the city will also be encouraged to use liquefied petroleum gas in PLACE of coal, kerosene or firewood.
Vehicles plying on highways in the vicinity of Taj would be encouraged to use low sulphur content diesel.
