Why does fluorine show anomalous behaviour?

Answer»

Fluorine exhibits anomalous behaviour as compared to other halogens in the group. 

The reasons for anomalous behaviour of fluorine are as follows :

  • the smallest size of fluorine 
  • the highest electronegativity 
  • low bond dissociation enthalpy of F-F bond 
  • non-availability of d-orbitals in its valence shell.

116656.

H2S is less acidic than H2Te, why?

Answer»
  • Sulphur is more electronegative than Tellurium. 
  • Bond energy of S-H in H2S is (347 kJ mol-1) more than the bond energy of Te-H (238 kJ mol-1). 
  • Hence H2Te dissociates more giving H+ (or H3O+) than H2S in the solution. Therefore H2S is less acidic than H2Te. 
116657.

Describe the antiseptics chemicals with suitable example.

Answer»

Antiseptic:-

These are chemicals which kill or prevent growth of micro organisms e.g. dettol, tincture of iodine can be applied to wounds, cuts etc. (living tissue). They are also applied to reduce odours resulting from bacterial de-composition on the body.

116658.

116659.

Give the reaction of 50% dilute HNO3 with copper metal.

Answer»

3Cu + dil.8HNO3 → 3Cu(NO3)2 + 4H2O + 2NO

116660.

Account for noble gases form compounds with fluorine and oxygen only.

Answer»

116661.

Give the principle for the manufacture of nitric acid from amonia.

Answer»

Due to following 11 porstion NH3 and 89 portion mixture of air Pt gauze and heated are 100° we get NO.

4NH3 + 5O2 → 4NO + 6H2O

2NO + O2 → 2NO2

2NO2 + H2O → HNO3 + HNO2

HNO2 → HNO3 + 2NO + H2O

Hence NO gives NO2 due to it is oxidised who soleted in water an there for HNO3.

116662.

Account for bleaching of flowers by chlorine is permanent while that by sulphur dioxide is temporary why?

Answer»

In the presence of moisture, chlorine acts as an oxidizing agent and a bleaching agent.

Cl2 + H2O → HCl + HOCl

                               Unstable

HOCl → HCl + O Nascent oxygen

Coloured mater + O → Colourless matter.

The bleaching action is permanent due to nascent oxygen. Bleaching action of SO2 in presence of moisture is due to nascent hydrogen.

2SO2 + 2H2O → H2SO4 + 2H

Coloured matter + H → coloures matter

So, bleaching action of SO2 is temporary.

116663.

Why is it advisable to use iodised salt ?

Answer»

Iodine is necessary for the making of thyroxine hormone by the thyroid gland, therefore, a deficiency of iodine in the diet can cause a deficiency of thyroxine hormone in the body. Tire deficiency of iodine in the diet of a person produces less thyroxine hormone and cause a disease called Gaitre.

Mention the factors influencing rainfall.

Answer»

The main factors that influence rainfall are as follows:

1. Latitude: The latitudes of any area are responsible for the rainfall in that area. As we proceed towards the poles from the equator, the distribution of rainfall decreases. The equatorial region receives more rainfall due to higher heat reception, and on the contrary, the rainfall is very less due to lesser receipt of heat in polar regions. 

2. Prevailing winds: The condition of transmission of the winds found in any area is the controlling factor of rain. The more warm and dry the air is, its capacity to hold moisture increases and if the air is less dry then this is an obstruction in its tendency to hold moisture. 

3. Water Currents: Precipitation is controlled by the presence of cold and hot water currents found in the world. If the wind passes above the hot water streams, they become more dry but they hold more moisture also. On the contrary, cold streams reduce the capacity of the winds to retain moisture.

4. Distance from sea: This factor plays an important role in causing rainfall. Wind often absorbs moisture from the oceans and causes rainfall in the terrestrial part. As the distance increases from the sea, the amount of moisture in the air continues to decrease. 

5. Water and land conditions: According to the position of water and land, the nature of the wind is determined. According to the condition of these two, the sea and terrestrial winds blow. In areas where the sea winds move, the amount of rainfall is high, whereas the terrestrial winds are often dry of produce less rainfall. 

6. Location and orientation of mountains: The mountains are an important factor in controlling rain. If the location of the mountains causes obstruction of moisturized winds then the amount of rain is high, whereas, when the direction of the mountains is parallel to the winds, there is less rainfall due to the absence of obstruction. 

7. Height: Along with increase in height from the sea level, there is decrease in temperature. Rain pattern is also controlled by this variation of temperature.

116673.

116674.

Which are the different states of water?

Answer»

Like every substance, there are three states of water – solid, liquid and gas. Water is found in the form of ice in the solid state, in the form of water in liquid state, and in the form of water vapor in gaseous state.

116675.

What is evaporation?

Answer»

The process by which the water changes from liquid state into gaseous state or water vapor, is called evaporation. The atmosphere receives humidity by the process of evaporation. The evaporation is higher in the oceans than on land. The amount and rate of evaporation depends on the speed, temperature and dryness of the air. Greater the temperature at which the air dries up and greater the rate, greater is the amount? and speed of evaporation, water changes into vapor by the process of evaporation.

116676.

What does saturated air mean ?

Answer»

When a volume of air at a given temperature holds the maximum amount of water vapor, it is called saturated air.

116677.

Differentiate between relative humidity and absolute humidity.

Answer»

Relative humidity: Relative humidity is the proportion of the humidity potential of the fixed volume of air at a certain temperature and the actual humidity in it. It is expressed in percentage.

Absolute humidity: The actual amount of water vapor present in the atmosphere is called absolute humidity, or the actual amount of water vapor present in a fixed volume of air is called absolute humidity, and it is expressed in grams per cubic meter.

116678.

What is humidity? State its types.

Answer»

The water vapor present in the atmosphere is called humidity. This humidity is the basis of daily seasonal change.

Types of humidity:

The main types of humidity are as follows:

1. Absolute humidity: It is also called the real humidity, the amount of water vapor that is found at a certain temperature in a fixed volume of air is called the real or absolute humidity. 

2. Relative humidity: Relative humidity is the ability of air to absorb moisture at a certain temperature and a fixed volume. 

3. Specific humidity: When the air rises up and comes down, there is change in its actual humidity. Therefore, in the study of air masses, specific humidity is used in place of actual humidity.

116679.

How is water cycled?

Answer»

The waters in the oceans, the atmosphere and the continents continue to be exchanged through transpiration, evaporation, condensation and precipitation.

116680.

What is absolute humidity?

Answer»

The actual amount of water vapor present in the atmosphere is called absolute humidity.

116681.

What is precipitation?

Answer»

When the water vapor in the atmosphere is converted into liquid or solid state by the process of condensation in the atmosphere, it falls on the surface, and is called precipitation. It contains snow, hail and water droplets from the clouds.

116682.

The cloud at the highest elevation in the atmosphere is: (a) Cirrus (b) Stratus (c) Cumulus (d) Nimbus

116686.

What is cyclonic rain?

Answer»

In cyclones, the wind rapidly proceeds towards the center and starts rising up. As it proceeds from the sea, it is saturated with water vapor. Therefore, when cold air comes in its contact, a type of frontal zone is formed in between and hot air containing water vapor cools down and causes rainfall which is called cyclonic rain.
