Three elements X,Y,and Z form a Doberiener triad The ratio of the aotmic weight of x to theat of Z is 160 find the atomic weight of X,Y and Z

Answer»

Solution :Let the atomic WEIGHTS of X,Y and Z be `Z_(x),Z_(y)` and`Z_(z)` respectively
`therefore (Z_(x))/(Z_(z))=(7)/(25)rarrZ_(x)=(7)/(25).Z_(z)rarr(1)`
Given htat `Z_(x)+Z(z)`=160
`therefore (7)/(25).Z_(z)=160rarrZ_(z)=125`
fromequation (1)
`Z_(x)=(7)/(25).125=35`
atomic weight of y is `Z_(y)=(35+125)/(2)=80`
`[therefore` X,Y and Z form DOBEREINER TRAID]

Vibha is a student of 9th standard. Vibha's family has an LPG connection in the kitchen. When Vibha's mother, Mrs. Chopra, was preparing breakfast for the family, the cooking gas cylinder got empty. Mrs. Chopra keeps a spare gas cylinder. So, she removed the empty gas cylinder and connected the filled gas cylinder tp the cooking gas stove. Mrs. Chopra then lighted the gas stove adn started preparing breakfast again. Just then Vibha came running into the kitchen and told her mother that she could smell the leaking cooking gas from the new LPG cylinder even from a distance. Vibha closed the gas supply from the leaking cylinder by turning off the regulator knob quickly. She also asked her mother not to use this leaking gas cylinder till the leakage is set right. She also opened the window of kitchen to let the leaked gas cylinder. The gas mechanic of the distributor on telephone and complained about theleaking gas cylinder, The gas mechanic of the distributor came to Vibha's house within half an hour. When he checked the gas cylinder, he found that the rubber washer of the cylinder had a cut in it through which the gas was leaking. The gas mechanic changed the defective rubber washer and then checked for the leakage again. There was no gas leakage rectification service is provided freeof charge by the LPG distributor. Mrs. Chopra was happy that Vibha had saved their lives as well as money. (a) (i) What substance is added to the LPG cylinder by the filling company to help in detecting gas leakage from the cylinder ? (ii) Which property of the above substance is made use of in detecting the leaking gas from LPG cylinder ? (b) Name the physical process which helps in bringing leaking LPG containing the above substance to us even from a distance (c) Define the above physical process (d) How is the leaking cooking gas from LPG cylinder detected ? (e) What would have happened if Mrs. Chopra had continued to use the leaking gas cylinder ? (f) What values are displayed by Vibha in this episode ?

Answer»

SOLUTION :(a) (i) Ethyl mercaptan
(ii) Strong smell of ethyl mercaptan
(b) Diffusion (in gases)
(c) The spreading out and mixing of a gas with another gas due to the motion of their PARTICLES is called diffusion in gases
(d) The leaking cooking gas containing the strong smelling substance ethyl mercaptan spreads and mixes with the surrounding air by the process of diffusion. When the air containing ethyl mercaptan reaches our nose, we can smell it and come to know of the gas leakage
(e) LPG is a highly inflammable gas (which catches fire very easily). If Mrs. Chopra had continued to use the leaking LPG cylinder, then a lot of LPG would have collected in the kitch after some time. This collected LPG could ignite on coming in contact with gas stove flame causing a bif fire in the KITCHEN. even the LPG cylinder could catch fire and BURST causing a big explostion. This could lead to the loss of lifeand property
(f) The various VALUES displayed by Vibha in this episode are (i) Good smelling powder (so as to smell leaking cooking gas even from a distance) (ii) Knowledge of the risksof using a leaking LPG cylinder (iii) Responsible citizen (in calling LPG distributor to rectify gas leakage), and (iv) Destire to protect her family and property (from any LPG related accident).

What produces more severe burns, boiling water or steam?

Answer»

Solution :When water changes into steam at its boiling point, it absorbs latent heat of vaporisation (which is `22.5 xx 10^(5)` joules PER kilogram). This MEANS that steam at `100^(@)C` contains much more heat (in the form of latent heat) than boiling water at the same temperature of `100^(@)C`. So, when steam FALLS on our skin and condenses to form water, it gives out much more heat than boiling water, it causes more severe burns.

To make a saturated solution of 36g of sodium chloridein 100g of water at 293K find its concentrationat this temperature.

Answer»

SOLUTION :Mass of solute (sodium chloride)
= 36g (GIVEN)
Mass of solvent (water)
= 100G (Given)
Then, mass of solution
= Mass of Solute + Mass of solvent.
= (36 + 100)g
= 136g
`= ("Mass of solute")/("Mass of solvent") XX 100%`
`= (36)/(136) xx 100%` = 26.47%
