Why does carbon forms large number of compounds? |
|
Answer» Carbon forms large number of compounds because of tetravalency and catenation property. Tetravalency – Carbon has valency 4, to attain noble gas configuration carbon share its valence electrons with other elements like hydrogen, chlorine, etc. Catenation – Carbon also shows the property of self-linking in which it forms long, branched or cyclic chains to form large number of compounds. |
|
| 4507. |
(a) State two properties of carbon which lead to a very large number of carbon compounds. (b) Why does micelle formation take place when soap is added to water? Why are micelles not formed when soap is added to ethanol? |
|
Answer» (a) (i)-Catenation (ii) Tetravalency (b) It is because large number of molecular ions of soaps get aggregated and form colloidal solution. Soap has hydrophobic tail (hydrocarbon) which dissolves in hydrocarbon part and hydrophilic part dissolves in water. Ethanol is non-polar solvent therefore micelles are not formed because hydrocarbon part gets attracted towards ethanol and ionic end will not dissolve in alcohol. |

|
| 4516. |
Why we are advised not to use animal fats for cooking? |
|
Answer» 1. Animal fats have recently been implicated as the cause of heart disease and obesity. So, we are advised not to use animal fats for cooking. 2. Excess animal fat is stored in lipocytes, which expand in size until the fat is used for fuel. |

What is the action of soap particles on the greasy cloth? |
|
Answer» Soaps and detergents make oil and dirt present on the cloth come out into water, thereby making the cloth clean. Soap has one polar end and one non-polar end. 1. The polar end is hydrophilic in nature and this end is attracted towards water. 2. The non-polar end is hydrophobic in nature and it is attracted towards grease or * . ; oil on the cloth, but not attracted towards water. 3. When soap is dissolved in water, its hydrophobic ends attach themselves to dirt and remove it from the cloth. 4. The hydrophobic end of the soap molecules move towards the dirt or grease particles. 5. The hydrophobic ends attach to the dirt particle and try to pull out. 6. The molecules of soap surround the dirt particle at the centre of the cluster and form a spherical structure called micelle. 7. These micelles remain suspended in water like particles in a colloidal solution. 8. The various micelles present in water do not come together to form a precipitate as each micelle repels the other because of the ionion repulsion. 9. Thus, the dust particles remain trapped in micelles and are easily rinsed away with water. 10. Hence, soap micelles remove dirt by dissolving it in water. |

Why soap is not suitable for washing cloth when water is hard? |
|
Answer» The magnesium and calcium salt present in hard water react with the soap molecule to form an insoluble product called scum. This scum create difficulty in cleansing action. |
|
| 4519. |
Scientists detect the presence of sodium bicarbonate in a water sample. Can this water be used for washing clothes with soap? Justify your answer. |
|
Answer» Yes, soap can be used for washing clothes in water containing sodium bicarbonate, as sodium ion will not contribute to the hardness of water. |
|
| 4520. |
(a) What is a soap? Why are soaps not suitable for washing clothes when the water is hard? (b) Explain the action of soap in removing an oily spot from a piece of cloth. |
|
Answer» (a) Soap is sodium or potassium: Salt of higher fatty acids such as oleic acid (C17H33COOH), stearic acid (C17H35COOH), palimitic acid (C15H31COOH), etc. A soap is a sodium or potassium salt of long chain fatty acids. Hard water contains salts of calcium and magnesium. On adding soap to water, calcium and magnesium ions present in water displace sodium or potassium ions from the soap molecules forming an insoluble substance called scum. Scum results in wastage of soap. (b) Cleansing action of soaps: The oily spot present on clothes is organic in nature and insoluble in water. Therefore, it cannot be removed by only washing with water. When soap is dissolved in water, its hydrophobic ends attach themselves to the oily spot and remove it from the cloth. Then, the molecules of soap arrange themselves in the form of micelle and trap the dirt at the centre of the cluster. These micelles remain suspended in the water. Hence, the oily spots are easily rinsed away by water. |

Why He, Ne and Ar are called inert gases ? |
|
Answer» He, Ne and Ar are called inert gases because their outermost shell is complete and they do not lose or gain electrons in their outermost shell, hence they have zero valency. The reason they are inert gases is because they do not bond easily with other elements. They have a full valence of electrons so they don't need any to satisfy their own valence. They are also called noble gases because they are like this. |
|

Consider the following elements:Li, Cl, Br, Na, K, I(i) Arrange the elements according to the groups to which they belong in the Periodic Table.(ii) What are the common properties on the basis of which the elements have been grouped together? |
|
Answer» (i) Li, Na and K are grouped together in the periodic table and belong to group I. They are grouped together because all of them have one electron in their valence shell. Rest of the elements Cl, Br and I are grouped together in the periodic table and belong to group 17. |
|
| 4527. |
The increasing order of reactivity among group 1 elements is Li < Na < K < Rb Cl > Br > I. Explain. |
|
Answer» The elements of group 1 have only one electron in their respective valence shells and thus have a strong tendency to lose this electron. The tendency to lose electrons in turn, depends upon the ionization enthalpy. Since the ionization enthalpy decreases down the group therefore, the reactivity of group 1 elements increases in the same order Li |
